Hey Lanier... I jumped your truck the other day in Blacksburg. How's it goin? Glad to see you here, and hope you become a regular! Well... to answer your question, I mess around on the puter alot. I also have a playstation2. I set up a George Foreman grill to cook up steaks, so that takes a bit...

Well... that's against a woman who wasn't there to back up her claim. I'm sure everything on here has SOME validity to it. Still... it's a fine line between defamation and banter, these days. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Height signs are deceptive. They usually give at least 6 in. Tho in NYC, we've driven under 11'2" bridges before, because they measure from the top of the sidewalk to account for snow. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I transported my truck from WA to MI, and I got conflicting reports on what to get. MI told me I didn't need anything, but I wonder if they understood what I was saying. None of the states had a problem with me transporting it without a plate, except the Iowa group of IA, WI, MN, and KS. They...

I've had sprint for years, and I can't say enough good about them. Everyone in my family has a sprint, so it's free to talk to them. They have the best coverage and options, IMO. I'm tired of getting that "Please wait while the Nextel customer you're trying to reach is located." As McBride said...

If Magic wins everything he's going for, that stooge of an owner will HAVE TO be elected mayor to be able to pay it all LMAO "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I was gonna type some figures, but Tony beat me to it. LOL I'm a firm believer in figuring out all miles involved. FSC was originally implimented to keep fuel prices around 1.25/gal. My belief is this is for ALL miles, not just loaded. So, if the FSC can cover the dh miles at that 1.25/gal as...

RE: Public schools, shootings and knee jerk reacti There have always been bullies. But there hasn't always been shootings. I don't know what big daddy government can do to protect the kids that they aren't already doing. Public schools are already an indoctrination for the Great American...

I BOW to your wisdom, Broom... as mispelled as you might be ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Did it have an anchor attached to it? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Did anyone happen to see which three companies are in trouble? Werner, Swift, and JBHunt are the "We Three Kings of Cheap Freight". Maybe, just maybe, some of their customers are getting sick of their attitude of "We'll get it off your dock when and if we get a truck available." Or, maybe some...

Come on... when did everyone in this industry start wearing tutus? Such thin skins anymore when you think you're being "insulted". I know ppl like Broom and Greg who have had extensive business experience, and have had to write a report or two. But you couldn't tell it on here ;) So what? Minor...

I drive for C&M Transport. Pos: Good miles. They don't try to drive the truck for you. They are totally business. Good dispatch when they're not too busy answering phones to help you out. Neg: You're on your own when your truck breaks down unloaded. No pay for three weeks after they get your...

The thread about negativity got me thinking; and thus, this thread. Post your positives and negatives about your current or past company, but do BOTH. If you're negative, post it. But come up with something substantly positive (and not just "I like the blonde in dispatch"). Same if you love your...

I think it's because ppl tend to take the negative aspects personally. I look at pantherii to be a perfect example. He defended his company to the hilt till they merged. Now he feels like he's been given the shaft, and wants everyone to know it. But to his credit, he posted the good about them...

I look back at some of the archives and wonder where these ppl have gone. There's a wealth of DETAILED info in there. Ppl like Weave and Wild Bill were the source of a lot of good info. Now, it seems like a lot of ppl come here just to spout. And, tho it can be a good thing, it's just gotten too...

Toyo... gotta agree with you. But money is the bottom line. Few companies are looking for quality, than just a truck to cover their freight. Troublemakers should be let go, instead of coddled. Only then can we get back to the way it was. But you know that'll never happen; troublemakers make...

But those same parents will let their brats flip channels like it's nobody's business. Some of em just want to cause a stir. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Back when I started, the big three were Roberts, Tri-state, and CTX. Panther was a small company with a handful of dispatchers and an open door policy. They could afford to be a family atmosphere with their contractors. Apparently, they had the right formula, because they grew like nobody's...

TerryandRene have it right. I was thinking the same thing about situations change as the company or poster evolves. The way around this is to be able to retract or change your rating for a particular company. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas
