That was one long thread I enjoyed reading. I took it as "things you have to think about while trucking", rather than "the reality of trucking". While most of it is very much real, the part about sitting for free is a given, tho most of us think too much about "we're sitting for nothin!"...

I'm trying to see the point of what they're doing, other than micromanaging the drivers. 24 hours, 900 mi, no rest, get it there. xxx amount of miles, pull over and get 5 hours sleep to cover our butts; doesn't matter if you're tired afterwards. Someone will end up taking a printout from the qc...

Stay away!!! I you get a run out of the area, you're on your own. It seems like their dispatchers are lazy. They have a couple company trucks and even fewer o/os. I wanted to go back with them in '05, I just couldn't reason doing it. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't...

That was a good game! Grossman reared his ugly arm, that's for sure. Now the media can finally shut up about Peyton not having his SB win. And the Bears... who dey? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

This thread sums up the reason I don't want that quallcop on my truck. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

That's my point. If it happens once or twice, it's a mistake. As many times as we hear of it, it's a bad habit. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I don't know if it's a good thing. They could've just as easily kept the other truck on the run and given you some excuse. It makes me wonder what they told him. I agree with Redytrk. They need a failsafe in the system that doesn't allow dispatch to offer a load that's already has someone...

Vaffle Hosen - porkchops southern classic style, scrambled w/cheese, smothered/covered/peppered :d Speaking of the Brazil, IN Truckstop... Rally's across the street. Love going thru when I have a craving for Big Bufords! Denny's... still good and cheap. Better selection than Bob Evans at...

I posted about our baby being born in Dec, and his tumor which was normally benign. I didn't want to post what happened until we found out the finality of it. Logan's tumor ended up being a cancerous kind found in children. After 6 different tests, they found no remaining cancer in his body...

>No, its just because some are still whining about their team being out. I would be one of them! LOL "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

"In fact, IMO...they have only played about 4 good teams all season." And the Seahawks weren't one of them. LOL If our secondary wasn't hurt as bad, you'd be playing us. Then, I wouldn't give a rat's behind about Peyton... understandibly :7 But the fact is, they're playing da Bears. I really...

There's research out there that states the world is getting warmer... because the Sun is getting hotter. Makes a heckuva lot more sense. Plus... the US wouldn't have to get bullied into cutting back on their pollution when the rest of the world is getting a free pass. The Kyoto Treaty was a...

Good way to put it, MrSnappy! :) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Mapquest is free. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

RE: "Poverty Loads" or "Is this really all there i Don't the loads seem to pop up AFTER you leave an area? I dropped in Miami on Friday, just behind someone else. He took off for SC. Monday afternoon, I got loaded to NC. If he only knew... ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that...

Vaseline on his door handles? :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Peyton is already going to the HOF, so I hope he gets his superbowl win. I know that's gotta still be killing Marino, tho it wasn't his fault for not winning one. This is gonna be a killer mind game, with all the audibles and different looks. I hope the Colts kick their butts! I hate the Bears...

Broom says to tell you yeah... dumb move on his part. He turned down a 300 miler for an 800. Granted, maybe he shouldn't have posted that. But clearly, you don't have a clue how things work on his end. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Yep... had that happen to me. Moved over to let a Schneider on, and he didn't let me back over. Missed my exit, spent a half hour getting turned around, almost late for delivery. Never again for those turds. Schneiders have learned to keep their cbs off, so you can't even tell em their brakes...

Is it going to be a vicious cycle for us? -Dems control House, Senate, Presidency; extreme prevails; alienate Mr Joe Normal -Repubs take control of House and Senate -Repubs get Presidency; extreme prevails; alienate Mr Joe Normal -Dems take control of House and Senate what's next, folks? "If...
