RE: Which company actually cares about good driver If he would've known when dispatch found out, he could've gone home till Sunday morning, rather than spend money on the road. Gotta admit, the communication from his dispatch sukked. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't...

Redy... and your point is? ;) I need those calories to do the all-nighters other expediters don't want. :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver It all depends on what the "newbs" are trying to accomplish. If they're trying to get a union started, then get hostile because no one agrees with them, then what do you think? Generally, I'd have to agree with Leo's advice. However, if you...

Your last reason was the one that first came to mind. Any excuse not to play by the rules, it seems. Yet, they expect us to. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Magic... with this kind of post, how can you even think about a $2600/mo payment? I know... the lure of having your own truck is great, and I'm giving into it once again. But I try not to have bleak thoughts like this as long as the freight is moving. Still, it comes to mind. And still, I keep...

RE: Do you know your credit score? or I love debt I've decided to lease the truck I'm driving to boost up my credit score. My score isn't all that bad, tho I have a bankruptcy hovering from 6 years ago. I was told my problem was that I didn't have any big ticket items in my history... just...

You have those who think higher education is a right, and not a privilage. I for one think that if someone had to work to make it thru college, they'd be a lot better off for it. My nephew is a perfect example. He drops his classes half way thru the semester and joins again next semester with...

What would Joe Montana have become without an o-line to protect him? Probably the same as Quinn would if he became a Lion. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs I don't care if you criticize me, but have some substance to back it up. Again, you put words in my mouth. I wasn't singling out any individual, I was saying that truckers, AS A COLLECTIVE, are stupid. Let me try to explain what I meant in a...

What kind of insurance company isn't available 24/7? You'd think that OOIDA would have that service, being as much as they are. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs Chuck, you miss the point with all this. How many HONEST companies do you think there are? There are many more that run illegal than do legal. When you have rates that are this low, you pretty much have to run illegally, HOS and speed, to make...

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs The ATA's drive for governors has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with profit. By limiting the speed of their competitors, the companies in the ATA will have a bigger market share. As I said in a previous thread, if the ATA is...

My neighbor runs for Churchill and makes .95/mi. He gets plenty of miles every week, yet still brings home next to nothing after repairs and maintainence. I don't know how they do it, when it's not benefitting them financially. You'd think putting your heart and soul into a career would bring...

Struggling to survive, no. I would say struggling to grow. Word of mouth, mostly from their own drivers, have kept a lot of ppl from joining, and causing others to vow never to sign on. It's in Panther's best interest to listen to their fleet if they want to keep expanding it. Once they turn...

I wouldn't take Baltimore, as they're playing in KC. I would take Detroit over Minn, SF over GB, Miami and the spread, and San Diego over the Donkeys. I agree on NO... or, I should say, I hope they kick butt!!! ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Very possible that's what it's meant to do... motivate Grossman. With Lovie stating Rex is his man, I don't think he'll change things till they start losing. Tho if I were a qb in the NFL, nothing my coach said would insure I was concrete in my job. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means...

I heard the Republicans are buying the Democrats. There will now be one party under the new name Republicrats. Oh... that's old news ;) All that's missing is a Seig Heil. :P "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas
