    This is true. Of course.... that catchy little slogan you use as a rule will also guarantee that you never do get a load of Laredo. What sounds good on an internet forum can be a pretty dumb business decision in real life.

    That's probably what he did...I'll ask if I can remember. I've got a wick hanging out of mine now...lol. I think it comes out tomorrow.

    Sounds a lot like mine...even the location... No steel that I know of though. We'll see. I'm going back tomorrow for a checkup and bandage prep. If I can remember I'll ask...but I don't think he actually removed the cyst yet. Its my understanding that they do that after they get rid of the...

    When heads of state use children as props.

    I joined the NRA several years ago. I believe it was during Bill Clinton's presidency. The Democrats were obviously pushing gun control and winning some of those battles. So, I thought I should join....and I did. Once I had joined though, I found that my membership dues were apparently not...

    extra pay

    I think the answers so far may be misinterpreting the OP's question. I've been leased to a few different carriers over the years. Some passed 100% of the accessorials on to the contractor. At least one of the carriers kept a percentage of the accessorials. It's a trade off. Guess which one of...

    Does seem odd....and a bit quick, but every company has different freight lanes and customers. Hopefully the load going down paid REALLY well. He will almost be back to where he picked it up at.

    We need a LOT more elected officials like him.

    We require you to have a minimum of $25,000 cargo insurance...

    CIS is an EO sponsor and I believe they sell Progressive. CIS gets a lot of great reviews and they understand our industry. I would definitely give them a shot at it. I have had Progressive insurance before but never had to file a claim with them so I can't speak on that. I found them easy to...

    I'm blaming it on John Elliot :D I did ask...he didn't speculate much on it. The cyst is kinda common. Idiots that don't go directly to the doctor and get treated...even when we have insurance to cover it.... well, we're kinda special! :D

    So, the shoulder is taken care of. It was a bit messy, but the doc seems to think all will be well soon. In other news, apparently, I have a cold AND the flu. I've got lots of drugs now too....lol. I knew I had the cold, didnt have a clue that I had the flu though. He says I'll likely know it...

    We require you to have a minimum of $25,000 cargo insurance...

    It is a confusing issue, I'll give you that. The fact that you are under 10,000 lbs gvwr is one thing that confuses the issue. Everything in the links your looking at relates to vehicles 10,001 lbs or more. Here is the deal. It doesn't matter if your hauling somebody else's stuff in a Honda...

    We require you to have a minimum of $25,000 cargo insurance...

    I believe that what everyone is trying to tell you...is that those "darn cubicle people" are correct. Not only should you be required to carry cargo liability, they should be requiring more than $25,000. I'm not sure how you were able to take the links I posted and twist that information into...

    Pretty sure my little goose chase is gonna be just that by the time I get to the doctor tomorrow. The doc in L'ville apparently gave me the "correct" anti-biotics.... they seem to be attacking the problem instead of attacking me like the last batch did...lol. By the time I got home today, there...

    Headed home....my call. I'm not sure that freight volumes warrant dealing with a medical problem on the road...lol. I should have had this taken care of a couple of weeks ago....was hoping it would go away? (Yeah, I know) I just hate going to the freakin doctor...lol.

    Thanks Guido. I'll talk to ya tomorrow. Mr Snappy called and offered cab service if needed :) That is appreciated. We'll see. It's not a big deal right now, just sore. The doc was pretty serious about me getting it attended to quick though before it does become a big deal. I need to check with...

    Well, just left the clinic here in L'ville. The doctor here took one look at this cyst on my shoulder and ask how long I was going to be in town. Apparently I need a surgeon...and soon.... he says. So OOS. I was gonna go home and get it done, he said that would "probably" be ok. I may just get a...

    wheel base / frame stretch questions

    Since I kinda beat up on ya earlier, I'll offer another idea that won't sink too much money into a project truck. You would come out with a shorter box though. Your truck could handle a 22' box as is... so you might consider a 22' box with a divider in it, build your own sleeper in front of the...
