    Canada Alumi Bunk

    These guys give Canadians(not their country of origin)a REALLY REALLY bad name.I walked down the primrose lane of the cookie cutter expediters with Oklahoma plates and learned the meaning of deception and the curse of the slipppery deal.Be advised.

    Fleet Owners Beware

    I'm sorry,I have been preaching this for 4 years.It has been either overlooked because it's coming from the old dude on the left side,or plain denial.This issue could put so many out of buiness,including yours truly up until a few months ago,that it needs to be taken seriously. This talk about...

    A happy ending, I guess!

    Terry,with all due respect,I made (5) $150,000.00 investments and never had a contract.I do not feel I'm in the minority,as I too have many friends(owners)that feel and felt the same way.Some saw business heading south and bailed.Some stayed in the game. It's easy for a van owner with no...

    Repubicans once again tainted by corruption

    Greg,you can no more read the future then I can. Any tax bill that is attached to a budget requires a veto proof vote by congress.The congress will in all liklyhood look alot like it does today.Our taxes were raised by the defacto massive tax decrease on the wealthy as soon as W took office.One...

    Repubicans once again tainted by corruption

    It's by no means my system Leo.You voted this moronic bunch in did'nt you?The posse thats in power has to answer for the mistakes,mis quotes,mis judgements and over all failues of the day.I know,it's really all Clinton and Monicas fault,but with that exception already mentioned(a must on this...

    Driver Contracts

    The only contract that really matters is the one that the IRS says is legal.If you get audited and maintain your drivers are independant contractors,the IRS will say prove it. There are very stringent obligations on both sides that constitute a true independant contractor/owner relationship.All...

    Repubicans once again tainted by corruption

    I would think that anyone,from either party,who would bring forth such a person as this chubby hood and present him to the world as a possible canidate for Director of Homeland Security is overdue for some couch time with a profeesional head shrinker!!I'm certainly not going to give even mild...

    Repubicans once again tainted by corruption

    It's becoming such a common occurance among Republican officials that it hardly even raises eyebrows anymore.Corrupt public officials with ties to prominant Republicans.This time it could spell the end to Giuliani's run.His poor judgement was not only recommending Bernard Krik for Director of...

    When the going gets bad!

    In the van line business,we used to say there was only one flavor,vanilla.The color of the van made not a "lick" of difference. Loading and unloading furniture is the same regardless of the bright colors or amount of chrome.Bed buggers are the same animal regardless of the color of the van.And...

    ok anyone of a good place for down & out expediter

    RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped I feel your pain brother.The "real job" comment was meant to be supportive,as expediting may get to a point where it's just really not worth it anymore(paticularly with FECC). The big truck companies afford a living with benefits.They have...

    A happy ending, I guess!

    I would agree that in todays world,a contract ssems to be the norm.But again,I really feel this is not a sophisitcated industry.It's pretty basic.You drive the truck,talk to me if you question on a load offer,owner takes care of repairs,and we agree on when your going out and when your going to...

    What is terrorism

    I'm sorry Leo,I keep forgeting the role Iraq played in WTC. It's not really a left wing issue,it's an American issue and a damned insult to the the lost souls of WMD that the real perp is still laughing his a** off in a cave.Forget the rose colored glass's,I pear thorouh crystal clear glass's...
