You know dude, the gun on the cover is fairly disgusting. Better to keep that to yourself- or go post on gun web site...

Good response_ if there was good news to cheer about, then there would be only positive posts. Mostly on this site anymore, are the ones who will sit out here too broke to pay attention. Guess what- all the carriers are waiting for the upturn so they can pay us what they used to: ha, what a...

I talked to one of their drivers about a month back. He is a solo and says he gets a re-start on his log book about twice a week. If you do the math, he is sitting a lot...I also know they paid O/O's less than just about anyone until they raised it to $1.20 in 2008- I would be surprised if they...

Yes- I am sure the execs will get theirs- that is the way America has always worked, just now some folks realize it! This whole system of trucks on call was planned this way to make profits for auto companies and a few large expedite companies when they stopped producing stuff in house. They...

That is true- they never advertised it, just word of mouth. I talked to them for some time, but I have a color issue. Your truck must be all white...but I doubt it is a gold mine there. Many of the straight trucks I have seen have no sleepers at all...

Just asking- was that one of the two loads you were offered that week? The lack of work for expeditors in general is a much more important issue...no offense intended- but I have always found TS to be one of the most fair outfits to drive for.

Hey A-Team- Guess that means you wont be doing the Indy to Wixom load? ha ha... BTW for all- I think the going rate for an NLM load is $1.00 a mile. Welcome to depression 101.

"Show he cares"... He cannot put on the long face like Clinton could, does he? Actually, the stimulus is woefully inadequate for the damage being done by the banks, and the stimulus plus the homeowner mortage plan are both jokes. The real story is the further bailout of the biggest banks that...

Exactly what I was just thinking...wondering if anyone was going to comment on how slow things were...

Not sure what you are talking about. CA. has always had their own standard for years. Doesn't matter anyway- this is looking like depression and talk of saving industrial jobs without some old time struggle is like pigs trying to fly.

Just passing along some information that might help someone under sub-zero fueling conditions. Spent one night in Iowa last week east of Des Moines. Overnight temps were well below zero for at least three nights. I ran the motor to prevent any problems, and had 40 gallons still unboard when I...

Guess what- A 'D' unit: I almost could not believe my eyes. Additionally, we do not even do that much NLM- we certainly do not make a living from it. If that were the case, I would have jumped ship a long time ago...

Exactly: I accepted a load quickly- in the midst of all the fleet messages about the new rates. Lo and behold, when I read it all through, and mind you, I was sitting 18 miles away, it was .90c for an NLM going 500 miles to Louisville, and delivered Tuesday. I would have done it anyway, but come...

I remember seeing a number of their trucks that looked the same- company trucks? But at any rate, you have Bolt and Try Hours both in Toledo. Do you suppose they are both exiled/dwarfs from the Tri-State system who just wanted to start up their own company? Bolt is certainly the most...

What's up? Bad enough there is so little freight, now I find I just joined in Jan. 2008. Talk about getting bumped down!

Yea- like writing a letter to Nixon to stop the war....ha, ha, ha...

The authors of this thread ought to worry more about the supposed economic stimulus plan. It amounts to possibly $500 each to the working man, and huge tax cuts to the companies. Sounds like more of the trickle down theory we have heard ever since R. Rea-gun, carried through to W. No government...

I have been in the line since Thankgiving- just parked the truck there...

I wish I could find the exact formula for a good isolator/solenoid. Any info you have on this is appreciated...I had an RV type mounted in the battery box and it worked well until is corroded and started failing. I have not found something right since. Maybe a moot point now, I just use 4...
