I believe the rates are a result of the van being a non commecial vehicle. We all know if you were a commercial vehicle you would log and be held accountable as are straights and tractors. All the more reason for you to demand logging, scaling , and full recognition as a viable commercial...

We have had two loads for this project. The navigation system and the heat shield used for re-entry. at both locations where we picked up we got a mini tour of the facility. That was worth the price of admission so to speak. It is a cool perk that we really enjoy as we RV around the country.:D

I have no problem welcoming new people from other countries to the USA. I am proud we have a standard of living that is still desirable enough that someone would uproot themselves and their family to partake in our lifestyle. THAT BEING SAID: I am 100% against giving benefits to anyone that are...

Itsnt funny how people never look like we think they will, well, all except for the binky:D

What about Paul.........hmmmmmm Not much written about his death. Much speculation. It is interesting that many scholars believe Pauls influence and teaching far surpassed those of Peters and see Paul as the 1st head of the new religion taught by Christ.

You can be such a downer. A little levity aint appreciated around here. BUT, since you asked, It is the belief of the Catholic Church that Jesus Christ established the the church. His twelve apostles were sent forth to further Christs teaching. It is argued Peter was the Bishop of Rome. Based on...

Catholics arent shaken in their belief, more like shaking and cautious, "Oh yea, bring it" I believe the last Catholic to say that was, ummmmm crucified.

I would recommend you looking for a 60/40 split. The basic difference between a 40/60 and a 60/40 is who pays for the fuel. In three years of being on a 60/40 split we have consistantly netted 3-4% / run more than if on a 40/60. If you gross $150,000 on the year,thats another $4500 to $6000 in...

If you are so concerned about an extra 200/week ( I know that could be a lot depending on circumstance ) but in this industry thats a mini, an extra run something you take because it fits a time slot and allows you get back on the board for another run. No guarantees out here, if you need that...

Wow, I never have been so near to this many DOOM an GLOOM individuals. I bet you are great at funerals but struggle thru happy social gatherings. IF, and this a very HUGE IF, IF you know anything about the econmic cycle, this could be a very good sign. Sure a lot of truckers lost their job...

Sitting in Ontario TA East. Just got in from Memphis. Drove by a whole bunch of roadside checks. We got waved thru.:D

No, that wasnt us. But, after reading your post, I immediately waved back at you.:D Thanx for the thought.

The "variables" that you mention could turn that $1.37 into less than a buck in a heartbeat. As others have said, each run has to be profitable. Do I ever take a skinny deal, yes I do. Not often, but I have offered my services when "no-one" else was available. Sometimes those "favors" had a...

I couldnt agree with you more. Every industry has its casual labor force. Sometimes it the Christmas rush or harvest time. Others may need someone on Tuesday because it is really busy. We all dont have to be full time. dabluzman

Linda and I stay out 4 to 6 weeks at a time. Thats planned. Planned as well is: 1 week at Easter, 1 week at the 4th of July, 1 week at Thanksgiving and 3 at Christmas. Running good or bad, these will happen. Our availability has been 78 to 82% for the past three years ( our total time as...

Lets see, 52 weekends = 104, 8 to 12 national holidays, 1 ( 5 days) to 4 (20 days) weeks vacation time depending on longevity. Thats a range of: 117 to 136 days some get off every year. 32 to 36% time off. The world isnt foolish, this the way it is. Some work overtime, some a second job...

Oh for CRYIN out load guys. So Rhodes is actually working. Cant fault him for not missing that load. But, I guess Layout has the right to site the venue. All type but no conviction.......eh Rhodes. dabluzman:D

Anytime we want to go off the grid, we head for I81. We get lost in a second. Once we got a panicky call from dispatch. Seems we were to be at the drop in 20 minutes in the Roanoke VA area, yet we were shown still at the crossing at 1000 Islands. We kind of laughed as we read their message...

Actually, I think the dead persons heir wins.:D

We run a '07 Freightliner Columbia, 10 speed auto w/ MB4000/ 425hp. Just breaking it in with 360,000 miles. A DR that tips the scales at 31,000. 8.5 to 9.25 is normal for us. We are speed controlled and cannot exceed 65 mph. We have a Genset apu and Carrier 850. All feed off the main tanks...
