You belittled me twice in one posting telling me I didn't think things through yet offered no reason or info as to why you thought that way. If you had simply said "I disagree because" or had even just asked me to elaborate why I thought that way and then said you disagreed with my reply and...

As far as pay goes, how is that different than sitting in a truck (or at home for that matter) while on a percentage split with no or unacceptably low load offers for a period of time? No it's not, as with a contracted per mile rate you have no control over the length of the trips being...

Yes Dave, but it's just like anything else, if you hire those on say at a 65/35 or even 70/30 split or whatever you feel would be taking advantage of them, how long do you think they are going to be around when they see everyone else getting 60/40? You will either have to renegotiate or they...

Right, but the point being is i do not believe he is taking advantage of anybody. No one is putting a gun to your head. You agree on a rate or you don't. The driver is the only one who can decide what their worth. Like you said, no need to complicate the simple 10-4??? :-/

Your right Dave, there is no need to complicate the simple, and the simple fact is you know as well as I do that that's the way the industry works now. He's really not proposing anything new. I wouldn't work for 50 a day but some might. Just like some might take that .30 cent a mile load to get...

How is he taking advantage of other people's ignorance? If people don't know what their time is worth on a daily basis then they get what they deserve. I think he is being very fair. You tell him what you need to run and if he's got enough in the load he pays you what you are asking and you...

What was that acronym about IOWA I read on here not to long ago?

You didn't say if you were looking for another truck or not but assuming you are, Just make sure you stay away from it if it also has the Mercedes transmission. A couple of horror stories on here about them.

It seems unclear in the article, but it looks like they might have only been testing new applicants, not current recipients? Not only that but really, unless they are doing hair testing, everybody knows its not hard to beat a urine drug test.

So it was a double entendre after all? LOL!

The problem I have with the whole panhandling thing is besides tax free money as I mentioned earlier, just like welfare, what was designed to be a short term crutch to help people through a rough patch, all to frequently ends up turning into a "lifestyle". People get a taste of being on the...

Panhandlers get tax free money. That in itself is a reason not to give. At least with a reg charity you get a tax receipt. ( some reg charities are no better than panhandlers either judging by what percentage goes to administration vs what goes to actually helping people).

The simple way to stop panhandling is for people to stop giving. They are only there because enough people do give them something. I don't blame the panhandlers, I blame the people that support them. People usually do it for one of two reasons. Either they are stupid and naive enough to...

You might be right about that Zorry. He may be using congress to save face if he already knows what their answer will be, especially now that he doesn't have the support of the other countries anymore.

Yep, because anything the teachers do to try and discipline the kids is met with resistance by their own school board now as they are afraid of lawsuits. The teachers won't stick their necks out anymore because the school board will not back them and will hang them out to dry in the event of...

That's just great! regardless of the horrors going on there, any military intervention at all will only result in more people hating the U.S and eventually more terrorist attacks in retaliation on U.S soil and U.S Interests worldwide, resulting in the U.S becoming an even more police state than...

Heehee, i'll give him credit that at least he didn't go AWOL with a load on! He may have found God but he'll surely catch Hell when he gets back! LOL!

She looks like the late Sam Kinison!
