    The Big Lie

    Beyond hitting the like button, thanx for the laugh. I'm not sure why it struck me so funny, but this comment had me rolling.

    Do You or Do You Not Use The Power Deck System?

    I had this set up at one time also. It works for Geo pretty well I guess. I didn't care for it though. Reasons were for the few times it's great for moving that 1000 pound skid, it's something ya have to step over every time ya wanna move around back there. Also it makes it inconvenient to...

    Hey Dave, Happy birthday. Now that you're old enough to drink you can get rid of that fake ID.

    Sylectus/phone compatibility Questions-

    Hi- Our company is switching over to Sylectus. I didn't know this until yesterday. In the meantime, I've already ordered a new phone last week because mine is starting to go south. I currently have a motorola i-576 phone. I'm also on a Sprint data plan that we need for work. Last year...

    Thanks for the memories, Ladies and Gentlemen! Out of a job!

    Turtle, you're correct. My bad on the response. I'm a local driver. I more noticed the similarities in that we both lived in Flint. I saw that "there are no other jobs" comment & was like "wow, I've been there." He might not need to move to find a good situation for him. Then again, he's...

    Thanks for the memories, Ladies and Gentlemen! Out of a job!

    What he's saying is pretty much true. I lived in Flint until last year. After I lost my job in 2009, I applied (or at least contacted) maybe 3-400 different companies over about a 2 year period. I can't tell ya exactly how many that things were going well with until they found out where I...

    Laredo TX.

    Some guys from our company have an apartment down there. They get a run down there, sit for however long. Get a run back up this way & repeat. From my understanding they do pretty well.

    Turnover Rates

    I don't keep exact counts, but I'd say the last 10 Landstar drivers I've ran into at the docks were happy as pigs in mud w/ em. That says quite a bit IMO. No other company is even close. Did you know that Landstar also has local routes in various cities? Or at least in Detroit they do. Not...

    Speed cameras coming to Illinois work zones.

    I agree. Too many workers are getting injured or killed. Add to the speeding someone's probably texting or what have ya. I like that they're going to enforce it better.

    Credit Card rewards

    I use my bank credit card. It's only 1%, but it's simple. Get 10,000 points and I get $100 put in my bank. Other cards are out there that I'm sure are better options. For me, this seems to work though.

    Companies that fine drivers

    To my knowledge, the only "fine" we get for late paperwork is being paid a week later. So far I've always gotten my paperwork in on time. If something came up and I couldn't though, I have no qualms about waiting.

    How Many Filter Water?

    I'm borderline whacko about my water. I used to own a reverse osmosis filtration system that also oxygenized my water. When I moved I took that system out of my house & gave it to my folks. To this day I pretty much only drink water that comes out of my folks house. It's kind of neat that...

    Sorry for any inconvenience

    Hi All- I'm not all sure who from here is even on my mailing list. I figured some from here are though. Writing this from a friends computer. My computer was hacked into recently. If any email came to you from [email protected], please do not open it. If you opened it and didn't click...

    cargo van paid per mile or % of the load? your choice

    I prefer the percentage. Just the other day I got a 1/2 mile run for about $60. If I got paid mileage on that one I'd have made about 42 cents. For that matter, most of my runs are under 30 miles. Mileage on any of those wouldn't work out to well.

    Which EO Members...

    I went there- to the Flint campus, but did not graduate. Major was accounting. I'm 18 credits short of graduating, but because of the pre-requisite system I'm 3 or 4 semesters short. Basically I failed math like 5 times. That's not a joke. It wasn't the math that I had such a tough time...

    Whirlwind Express

    My experience w/ em was similar. They paid late. Way late. Like 5 or 6 months if I recall it right. They "lost" what I mailed em. So they had no records, or so they said. I had copies & sent em those. Then it was iffy if the copies would be good for proof or not. There were some...

    How is your 2012 so far?

    So far it's been pretty good. I've driven 3842 miles- all miles- since Jan 3. The month has been better than I expected. During this month some days have been awesome, some brutal. The month as a whole though, has been pretty good. I'm guessing you're asking about expedited only, but...
