Lisa, You've basically got to understand that the kernal is basically a company lackey. Any time there's a driver/company issue, no matter what the facts are, the kernal will stand on the rooftops & shout: THE COMPANY IS RIGHT!!! THEY'RE ALWAYS RIGHT!! THE DRIVER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK & WANTS...

Considering how bad you were lied to that was pretty tame on the rant. IMO you have every right to be peeved.

Best of wishes to her. Be well.

Turtle, In my case I thought I had given specifics. The solutions would be to pay after 30 days, pay the hotel, & quit calling me at 6AM for the simple purpose of waking me up when there's no run being offered on. I didn't think those needed to be said though. I had thought they would be...

Dennis, I can't speak for EVERY carrier. I can think of a few examples of where I was mislead, if not flat out lied too though. 1) get paid in 30 days. That seemed like a long wait, but I went w/ em anyway. Then it became 30 days after invoice. I got 3 runs from this company in 4 months or...

I know what she's talking about. I haven't talked to her, but I know what she's referring to. She might have worded it differently in that yes, she hasn't worked w/ every carrier. I have a strong hunch I know what she's talking about here. The Load 1 Drivers seem pretty happy. There...

The type of freight would be open. I'm guessing a lot is automotive going over there & coming back. When I did this in the past most of my freight was auto related. .75-.85/mile? Yowza. I wouldn't do it for that. You have the bridge tolls, the wait time at the bridge, the extra cost for...

I've seen these types of lists before. The water I pretty much agree on. I'm not sure of the %, but in a lot of cases tap water from a faucett is just as good as bottled water. Having said that, I have awesome water & that's one of the reasons I like being local, or at least not out to...

If you can A w/out violating any privacy issues, what would be a ballpark rate for your company for a run going from Flint, Mi to Toronto in a cargo van? This would figure on a 250 mile trip & of course, going into Canada. I realize there's a slew of variables and an exact price might not be...

What timing for a subject like this. My folks will be getting a dog when they get back from vacation next week. There's a hawk outside, which my dad really enjoys watching. How big would a dog have to be to be safe from the Hawk? I don't know what kind they're going to get. I know my dad is...

What is the CLC card? I'd love it if I got to stay in my hotel for 24 hours. Though I'm mostly local, when I do go out on the road on a % basis I prolly get a hotel room more than most here. If my load is delivered at midnite I'll sleep in my van. If it's delivered in the afternoon, I...

This comment had me thinking something. Are there any cargo vans w/ manual transmission? Cars get better milage w/ manual than automatic. I'd think vans would too. Just wondering why there seem to be none. Edit: I didn't mean it for towing, but for the everyday use that we drive our vans for.

I can feel your pain. I've been w/ a courier company & while not as bad as yours, the 2 MO's were similar. W/ the company I was w/, I had a route. The route started out w/ 15 stops. Then 16, then 17, w/ no extra pay. Their logic was it was only an extra 5 minutes. Mine was that 5 minutes...

This is becoming a common problem around the country. My aunt lives outside of Phoenix. There's a section of houses out there that are real nice, 4000 sq foot homes & such. They're on a golf course. In a gated community. And some of em are Section 8 housing. Unreal.

I don't like it. Then again, when did anything an American citizen wanted matter to Washington?

I went to that site earlier today. It gave the price of $3.38 at a certain station near the end of my run. All the others were $3.55 or so. Knowing the Speedway prices were pretty accurate, I went to this station that said was $3.38. I get there & it's also $3.55. This was about an hour or so...

and now it's $3.55 in Flint, MI

$3.42 in Flint, MI

If we're voting, I like this idea. It's been awhile since I've had a legit burrito. Mexican food makes me itch. But mannnn do I love it. I prolly shouldn't have it, but occasionally I can't resist. Sorta like chocolate w/ someone overweight. Even if we don't end up here, I'm going to check...

I'd say CIS but w/ one thing added. Make sure ya get Shelly or her husband (I think his name is Dave, can't recall). I got some other lady & she's not the best at getting back w/ ya. Also, I've had one claim thru them. I had to be towed last year. I sent in the towing bill & they didn't pay...
