I run for someone with the same setup. I get 65% of everything paid to the truck. That comes to a couple cents/mi less than the standard 60%+100% FSC. However, he pays tolls, oil changes (which an owner should), and repairs (which an owner should). How does this guy justify you paying for...

If Rich takes 94, there's only one scale in Idaho near Cour d'alene. When I drove thru, it was closed. Saved me $25 for a permit. hehe "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I bet zero, since it's a motorhome and not a truck. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Mama said they'd be weeks like this. Does seem strange that you would sit near Atlanta that long. But it's an area that's hit or miss. I've sat there a week before (mostly cause I was sick). Are they still using the dispatchers in NC? If so, I hope you're on Larry's good side. Try sending him...

Rich... ya sure you wanna go? That's Seahawk territory ;) I'd be up to it, depending on the date your mom's friend had in mind. I wouldn't mind catching a game while I'm there. :D "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

What? Are you saying the Panthas won't be there? Maybe not, if the 20-6 flubbing they took from the Falcons is any indication. Look at the league, and how dominant any team was in the first week. New England barely beat the Bills at Foxbury. Denver, Baltimore, and Dallas all lost to teams the...

RE: Keith Olbermann's Special Comment on Bush 9/11 I'm curious. Did O'Riley do a touchy-feely sexual harassment? Or was it a "stupid witch" kinda sexual harassment? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Shhh... they might be listening! You know Congress never met a tax they didn't like. Toyo... here's another reason prices are going lower. In case you haven't heard, there's an ELECTION coming up. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Wolfman... congrats! You got one out of six! LOL "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I wouldn't be so quick, Greg. Even in a loss, they showed some serious changes from last year. They held one of the strongest offenses to three field goals, while blocking two more. And they moved the ball somewhat flawlessly against a great defense. The same team last year would've been blown...

O-tay!

Greg... I can't believe what I just read. I believe the NRA and the oil companies know the dirty little secrets on the Republican side. Don't go calling lobbyist a "Democrat only" sin. But I do agree with your assessment that proper training is the FIRST and BIGGEST step in safety regarding...

Most of the negativity I portray here is to counter the rose-colored view some claim the industry is all about. It's also sharing experiences that others should be aware of. I post both the good and the bad, if you've read both. But my EXPERIENCES, along with others, can give newbies realistic...

Truth? Sounded like an opinion, Leo. That's as extreme as something Hillary would say. Just because it's on the opposite side of the spectrum doesn't mean it's not as dangerous. Just curious, Leo. Do you think elderly "murderers" should get the same treatment when they know they shouldn't be...

Leo... you SCARE me!!! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

At the risk of hating myself, I'm changing my sarcastic answer. LOL I'm doing what I'm doing because I enjoy what I'm doing. I see the things that are happening (and others know this also), because I haven't partaken in only one company's kool-aid. I've been around the block, and I was there...

Ateam... I agree. Experience is nothing compared to the naivity of someone new that wants to change something they know nothing about. You and Chuckwagon would make good congressmen. They like to tell experts how things work too. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know."...

Leo, I'm glad you and Ateam aren't writing the laws. Capital offense? You'd have a trucker put to death for killing someone if he were over hours? I think all three of you are full of bull on this issue. Either you don't want big brother, or you want stiffer penalties. What other industry does...

Chuckwagon... I suppose you don't run over the speed limit either. Come on. If you think the HOS rules are actually put there to protect the public, I have an honest senator to sell ya. The government loves to make rules, then not enforce them. They're there to placate those who either whine...
