    Which Lane

    Right lane, the merge-related accidents I witnessed were cars striking other cars in the left lane while trying to avoid a merge-collision. The cars that stay in the right lane and simply adjust speed, avoid contact...experience from many years driving in Miami Florida.

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    Wish that was true. It seems there is some similarities as the Hunt brothers did to manipulate the market in silver. Nelson Bunker Hunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I don't see much actual change in rates the customers pay as compared to what carriers are trying to pay contractors. So...

    There is NO DRIVER SHORTAGE

    According to JJOGGER in the Fedex Forum, after being forced on flat rate, he is down .21 per mile. With an average of 120,000 miles per year, that is $25,200.00...that's $25,200.00 less pay for the same work. Of course it could be set up where each truck could pay the company $25,200.00 and...

    All done with FCC

    Good read. But I am concerned about you taking an illegal trailer off their property and onto a public roadway to have it inspected. If you got stopped before you arrived at the inspection location, you would be at the mercy of the LEO. The violation would be wholly yours. And I hate to think...
