If you want some older games, try Gamestop or ebay. Dynasty Warriors 3 was like $10 at Gamestop. If you like a sports game that challenges the mind, FIFA'06 is lotsa fun! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Likewise, at Panther orientation, there were a good share of FXCC trucks, along with Tri-state, Conway, and Express-1. There are always ppl wanting to better their circumstances, and that usually means finding greener grass. Comes with the industry, and life in general. "If I claim to be a wise...

Sounds like the grass is dead. There are plenty of good owners out there. The guy I run for is the best one yet. My only problem is I can never get hold of him. LOL "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Something like agreeing to fly a driver home every two months sounds unreal. He's expecting tons of money to come out of the northeast. If it doesn't happen, what then? If you grossed $4000 a month like the other truck the guy I drive for owns, is he willing to fork out $700 or more as per...

RE: Broom made a response about what your time is Good point about picking and choosing. I don't know how ppl make it in expediting when they gripe that they won't take all nighters, won't do northeast, won't do west coast, Chicago, Detroit, Florida, etc. All that does is move the freight to a...

TR, while I like your idea, the fact remains that expediting is a fragile industry. Any waves we make could mean contracts being lost to the big truck market. Now I understand that OOIDA doesn't cater to us, but what affects big truck industry affects us. I'm happy to let them do their thing for...

LOL Redy, I was thinking the same thing about Iowa. I'll take Ohio most chances I get. The alternative is going out of my way, paying more in fuel, and going 55 or less. Indiana is another story. I'll take it if I'm crunched for time. But any way I can get around 80 in IN and Chicago, I'll do...

I think OOIDA would get a lot more support if they had a representative come on and start a thread or two and respond once in awhile. IMO they don't do enough to boost the number of members, or get the current members involved. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." -...

Turtle... got a good laugh out of that one! :7 OOIDA could be a force to be reckoned with, if they'd get the word out on what they plan on doing. I hear JBHunt advertising left and right on Sirius, why doesn't OOIDA do the same aggressive campaign on the radio to try and get new members and...

I think I may have been misunderstood. I was speaking to the point that Libs believe nothing can be done without government intervention. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I'm in HOT PERSUIT!!! LOL... gotta love Jackie Gleason :) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I've only been asked by a couple of owners for criteria. I guess they figure if we can get in with a carrier, it must be alright. But why would an owner legally be required to obtain a copy of your drivers license, unless he has the authority, like Dave said. "If I claim to be a wise man, it...

Chuck... I didn't mean to come off like I was jumping on you. Sorry bout that. All I'm saying is we, as an industry, are as disorganized as a bunch of cavemen. Could you imagine the clout we'd have if we had a common voice? Not necessarily a union in the traditional sense; but more like an...

What would you say to your union rep? "They gave me a late when there was snow on the road." "They gave me $15.00 dh when it shoulda been $16.50." "They won't negotiate this load with me." "The dispatcher is being snotty to me." That's what you have contractor relations (or whatever it's called...

First off, I think Rush was a buffoon making fun of Fox like that. Secondly, while I admire Fox's cause, he's inaccurate on the details. He comes across like there will be gloom and doom for him and others since the government won't support stem cell research. I find two things wrong with this...

Both Colts and Denver had their toughest game of the year, so far. Wish I woulda listened to it. Highlights sounded sweet! Whitewolf... 14 pts doesn't cover the spread, bud ;) Luckily, the Hawks are still in first after their defense collapsed. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means...

It might just be me, but the owner sounds greedy. He's putting you in a situation you aren't comfortable with for his own benefit. Seems like he's thinking "since others won't run northeast, I'll find a rookie to do it." I don't like that attitude, if that's what it is. Not a great way to start...

I got over the traffic in the northeast, simply cause every run in and out seems to have a lot of miles attached. Sure things up here stink, like high fuel prices, idling laws and such; but the miles... think miles. 1100 going to Queens and 1450 out of CT. Not bad for a solo (legally too)...

Are those husband/wife or bf/gf teams, Leo? If so, I think we already established they can be successful as both incomes are basically one. Let me ask what Broom is, but in a different way. Anyone driving someone else's truck, who ISN'T combining their pay, who's making a house payment, and...

She's scheduled for a Dec 13 c-section. He might not want to wait tho... she's been having contractions lately. Cheri... I told Jackie about your inquiry and she laughed. I know what you mean tho... too many ppl take names too seriously. I long for the days before the pc crowd. "If I claim to...
