    Are'nt ALL attorneys pond scum?

    LoL! There's a relationship there somewhere I'm sure! First thing we do is kill all the lawyers! - Shakespeare's Henry VI Here's a lawyer I have a lot of respect for: James Lockyer, lawyer for the wrongly convicted He is an excellent trial lawyer and could be doing exactly what you claim...

    Is it just me?

    I was not aware of that difference, bonus for them! I think I would still incorporate though, just for liability purposes, but that's just me.

    Is it just me?

    But in my opinion that's exactly what you should do is treat yourself as an employee and pay yourself a wage, either xx cents/mile or 40% or whatever and that should be included in your BEP for two reasons: 1) your time is worth something 2) if something changed in your personal life and for...

    Is it just me?

    No, it's not just you. As I see this is your first post and you have just recently joined as a new forum member, let me say welcome and my suggestion would be to do a forum search for "fedex" or "fecc". There are many on here complaining about the very same problem. In fact there is a forum...

    Rand McNally TND 700

    Map updates shouldn't be a big issue cost wise, for the Garmins at least. You can get a lifetime map update code for less than a hundred bucks most places. Allows you up to 4 updates per year for what Garmin says is "the usefull life of the GPS". Not sure what that means, but I guess it means...

    Another Life After FedExCC

    This is just an uneducated guess, but can anybody else see that it won't be long till FECC gets entirely away from percentage based compensation and moves to straight mileage? It just seems that since the vans have gone that way, and now the tractors, how long until they make the change with...

    EOBR for Solo Drivers

    The reason we will all soon have EOBR's is the same reason we now have a speed limiter law in Ontario. To level the playing field, plain and simple. It was the trucking companies, not the government that pushed for this to a) save fuel (b) limit the damage to their CVOR's due to speeding...

    What is all the talk about fedex ?

    You might be right Greg. This may be a result of integration. From all the complaining I've been reading about here lately regarding their lowball offers with lots of time for pickup and way too much time for delivery, then this is obviously not expedite freight. So what I don't understand is...

    Pet Owners/Laredo

    Now that is something I, and I bet most others never gave a second thought about. Will have to keep that one in mind. LOL! Germ phobias inside the truckstop and creepy crawlies outside (not including the lot lizards), how do we ever survive??? Fuzzyman: Thanks for the heads up. Despite snide...

    k and n

    People either swear by them or swear at them. Some say they work great, some say they do not filter as well as regular filters and in the long term will do damage to your engine. Some people claim that the oil in the filter works it's way through the intake and will eventually foul your mass...

    Is this realistic

    This is true for the most part. Usually anything I need to do personally I can work into my "on duty" schedule. I think there has only been two times in the last two years that I have actually needed to log personal miles, and that was only because I was layed over for the day and didn't want to...

    Is this realistic

    Unfortunatley the Fed doesn't seem to want to recognize "personal miles" with their EOBR's from what I have been reading. Looks like your "lifestyle" just got a bit more restrictive.:( Not everybody however is under the Fed's thumb (yet).:D For those that still have the freedom to log...
