Hi I don't understand why an owner operator based company would buy another owner operater base company.If you wanted the drivers, why not recruit them with a better deal than what they are all ready getting.Why would you want their freight when you claim you can't cover your own loads?Im not...

HI Sometimes it takes somebody from the outside looking in to see the obvious.As for feeling out of place for having an opposing point of view.I'm a democrat who wants Hillary to be our next president and feel that Bush needs to spend life in prison.And I haven't been shot yet!LOL Keep...

HI I don't know about a srtaight truck,but with a tractor trailor you just chase the trailor.I know that sounds strangely simple but it works.My ex spent years trying to teach me to back the trailor into the garage.This usually ended in us not talking to each other for a few days.Then the...
