    An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Now

    RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening OVM, I don't remember calling names when I posted my reply. Like A Team, I am also entitled to my opinion, and yet, I was attacked for it. As for being called moronic, it was childish but I am a big girl and take certain things with a grain...

    An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Now

    RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Dispatch, You posted: "Since expedited freight probably accounts for less than 1/100 of 1% of all movements , it's obvious the quoted articles/links are more directed to the big truck industry." To suggest the linkage was intended to scare ...

    An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Now

    RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Phil, I think you have way to much time on your hands and you have beaten this subject to death! Are you trying to scare the newbies out of this business so your freight will pick up or are you just running that slow and you have nothing...

    cat bashing

    Back to the subject..... Is it really getting slow out here or is it that too many are getting into expediting?? Take a look around, how many expedite trucks are sitting in the same location as you? Is this business starting to get overloaded with trucks?

    miles

    <<<I suspect the other part of the inquiry relates to the labeling of the trucks as 1 year old with 250k. That is very high miles even for a team. My guess is those are trucks that were first of the batch and therefore are 2 years old for all practical purposes even though by model year they are...

    When should the parents take responsibility

    Here's a story that will really make you wonder on how well you know your kids friends: I always tried to stay involved with my boys and who they hung out with. When the kids were younger, it seemed I always had a houseful of boys on the weekends. There was never any drinking or smoking, just...

    <<< I can't imagine anyone not wanting someone qualified and prepared to be there in the event of a Columbine situation. >>> Who is qualified to carry a gun?

    When should the parents take responsibility

    The shooter was also 21 and should have known right from wrong. I believe, even if he were 16, he should know better. So, why do the parents get blamed for the paths their children take? Yes, on one hand, you have parents out there that never spent time with their children and the child makes...

    When should the parents take responsibility

    for the way their children turned out? I was going to post this under "Women's Views" but I would also like to hear from the guys on this one. I was reading an article in the local paper where this man shot and killed a 21 year old woman - whom he was friends with. He claims he did not mean to...

    Take your shoes off please!

    We have throw rugs down on our floors so we would not have an issue with anyone going into the sleeper. I find it alot easier to pick them up and wash them, than to shampoo the carpet.

    Whites turning Gray!

    Zout - this stuff works great! There have been times I have washed shirts and realized, after they were dried, that there was a stain on them. Zout even got those out, so to me that is pretty good stuff.
