    Founder of J.B. Hunt Passes away.

    Personally, I've heard he was a good man. But his son or nephew took over the biz and turned it into the puppy farm it is today. I hold no love for his company, the values of his successor, or what it's done to trucking. I can only hope the next successor will actually care about the ppl working...

    no more driving for mr

    I hope it's something that can be controlled, so you can get back on the road soon! I wish you a full recovery. Lou Rawls! Cream corn! ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    NFL DRAFT - Who will get the first pick?

    You know the Raidas will take him. They won't win another game, and the Lions are too stupid to take a good qb. Besides... they need to get offensive linemen with their first five picks. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    what's up with the fuel pricing ?

    Indiana used to be one of the cheapest. Now, they're just plain cheapskates. They charge almost as much as Ohio with a surcharge much less. AND you have to pay a surcharge for their miles. I don't buy fuel there anymore. SC, KY, VA, and MO are always bargains, albeit low IFTAs. GA and FL are a...

    About national Healthcare

    Cheri... peace of mind is something that doesn't seem to count on the satisfaction scale. A lot of the ppl raiding the government coffers or going into the emergency room with empty pockets have new cars. How does our system put up with that? How do the ppl in general put up with that? Granted...

    Bubye, USC!!!

    With a loss to UCLA, the Trojans have "rubbered" their way out of the championship race. Unless the Gators go crazy in their last couple games, it looks like a Mich/Ohio State rematch! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    About national Healthcare

    The way I see health insurance is kinda like car insurance. It's something that is preventative. The ppl in the good ol USofA don't like to buy stuff that won't give them satisfaction NOW. And I guarantee, if car insurance wasn't manditory, most ppl wouldn't have it. Having said that, if ppl...

    A trucking brotherhood, you’re joking?

    Just stop by Broom's house. He's got a very kind wife and the coolest dog. Just don't say anything about the washing machine in his front yard. ;) Oh... forgot. Don't stare while he chews with his mouth open with no teeth! :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." -...

    Bear Buster

    Has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. I happen to disagree with the circling. If a cop is so insistant on the guy not getting a break on the ticket, let the ticket writer show up in court! Then again... if he's too busy creating revenue for his district/state... Tar... do your drivers...

    Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the sto

    RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying pay them .44/mi unloaded as well. At 25% dh, that makes it .55/mi. But realisticly, it's more like 40% dh when counting layover moves with Panther, which makes it closer to .62/mi or over 50%...

    Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the sto

    RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the But if the owner is getting 60%, then he's responsible for dh costs anyway. If the .44/mi is a company truck, and it is an employer/employee relationship, I'd say it's good, seeing as ssi and unemployment is deducted. However, I don't think...

    FinalScores For 11-26

    I don't know the spread on the Hawks/Packers game tonight, but ya gotta take the Hawks here. Raidas found a way to lose another game they were dominating. How bout them Titan?!?! Poor Giants. Better luck next year... err... week. Yay Rams! You kept my Hawks in first! Never thought I'd say that...

    Authority

    If you get your own authority, you'd have to get load insurance. I've heard of single-load insurance, which would probably be best for you, if you're only taking a couple loads a month under your authority. Personally, I don't think it's worth it, if using it to suppliment your carrier's loads...

    How to cut down on winter Idleing?

    If you're paying fuel, I advise you to ask the owner to get a generator. If that's out of the question, get LOTS of blankets if you don't want to use fuel. The Colonel suggests using a small propane heater. Personally, I find it doesn't take enough bite out of a really cold night, it's...

    RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the To put a different twist on what Cheri said about Family's team...

    A Nationwide TV EmbarASSment

    Me thinks Ford should get out of football. It's a reflection of how he runs his company... ignorantly! Rumor is out that Millen is going to retire Monday. Stay tuned! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas
