RE: Is owning a truck the same as owning a buisnes As O/O,Drivers,or Carriers we look for the best deal when we buy Tires,batteries,fuel,or even when we look for a hotel room to stay in. But we do not want shippers to look for the most economical way to move product. This is what all of us do...

We have 2620 Garmin and 2720 Garmin The 2620 works better for Straight trucks. I like it and never leave with out it.

Even if you are a small carrier with 1 truck you are required to have information like Physical,Drug tests,Cdl background check just to name a few things. This is part of the record keeping that carriers are required to show if the are inspected.

dhalltoyo, The card Corporate lodging Consultants Inc. www.checkinncard.com It is great service. I think this is the same one OOIDA offers. I am a member but I had this card before I heard they had it. It cost me nothing to join. You only pay a small fee when you book a room. If you go to the...

Sitting and waiting is one of the toughest things to get use to. Try to find a hobby. Try one and if you do not like it look for another. Try to be frugile about the investment to do your hobby in case it does not work out. It always seemed once I got involved in something to pass the time the...

DannyD, A First class post. Good luck in the carpet cleaning business.

I could be wrong but I think Dhalltoyo refused it because with the fuel charge he would only have a run that paid .76pm. True the fuel surcharge is only to help compensate for higher price fuel. But if a O/O as a independent business person believes .76pm is not profitable then he or she should...

OntarioVanMan, I think most US citizens are upset with the UN because it talks and talks passes resolutions and nobody does anything to enforce them. I think the UN serves a purpose it gives small meaningless countries a place to be heard. This also gives major powers a chance to act...

Tallcal101, No posters in particular if I am addressing a certain poster on anything. I will address them at the beginning of my post.

Some posters I think would have supported the riots in NY and Baltimore during the Civil War because Lincoln was Republican. They would have supported Gen.Meade in 1864 because he was a retired General and had disagreed with Lincoln on how to handle the war. They would have probably went crazy...

Terry is right my espar was installed there in 2003 and the service was fantastic.

I agree with Lawrence that the site has changed since the beginning both with posters and with EO. Society has changed also I feel that some people are more angry and upset with their position in life and they look for a place to vent. It may be in a truckstop,EO,day time court show,local news...

Some CEO's may of made some mistakes in the auto industry but they cannot be held totally to blame just as the factory worker cannot be blamed for all the problems. The average person does not get the opportunity to receive a severence package of $50,000 after only 7 years service or receive 6...

Great posts Lawerence. I worked at an auto plant it was a forging plant we made I-beams, spindles and axles. Yes it was hot in the summer but it was nice in the winter. The work was dirty and noisey but the pay and benefits were great. Our plant worked on bonus so if you produced more than what...

ACW4478, I did not know we had that many people in Govt. as posters on EO. LDB, I do not agree with McCain on this issue myself. I can understand his position though.

Another good post Greg. I wonder if the liberal posters protested our involvement in Bosnia. We could say that was a Civil War after all they were states of Yugoslovia. Mistakes happen in every conflict. I believe we accidently bombed the Chinese embassey in Serbia. So I get tired of liberals...

Right on LDB use the laws already on the books to prosecute violaters. We do not need any more Govt. involvement in the trucking industry. We all need to be responsible for our actions. More laws will not help save anyone it will be a revenue source for the state and federal Govt.

RE: Questions about the Overall Expediting Busines 1- Ohio is a little slow right now because we are still an automotive state and when Ford and GM are slow so is North East Ohio. There is still alot of freight but the pie is being divided into more pieces. 2- There are more and more courier...

1]Check with your carrier. 2]Check with OOIDA. 3]Check with your chamber of commerce. 4]check with your local insurance agent. These are some suggestions there are some competive policies out there. Look at health savings account with a high deductible medical insurance. Your health and your...

I have used the card and have been happy with it.
