While I do not believe everything I read or hear. I do know that we have NAFTA and CAFTA. I do see all over in this country were people are lossing there jobs and if they do find a job it pays alot less then what they were making when there job left the country. How can we as a common working...

On a previous thread someone has mentioned Mexico becoming the 51st state. While that is not completely correct here is the web site that explains what is in the works. http//americas-union.org/ Tis is the meeting Pres Bush, Pres Fox and the Prime minister of Canada had in Crawford Tx. when they...

You have come along way baby with that said.... We can now have great discussions with constructive critisisim. Thanks and no personal attacks felt here. Just more good imput given.

It seems to me as of lately there has been alot of personal attacks on members of this forum. May I please suggest that Personal attacks do nothing but make this forum childish (not a person attack just an observation) It is ok to disagree with someone with out making a personal attack. Everone...

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs Chuck you say you are a OOIDA member and you have the gutts to ask what HAVE THEY DONE FOR THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY.... plase would you read you Land Line Magazine, be informed before you spout off. Strenght is in numbers and compared to the ATA...

Where have rates gone in the last 20 yrs. In 1985 O/O of a tractor and trailer and not having my own authority we recieved 1.00 for all miles loaded and empty. Fuel was under a dollar and we didn't pay for load insurance. Compare that to current rates and it all stinks. But you don't see the...

So where is NY my map doesn't show it. There is a reason for that. Last time at a consignee in Albany I need to use a bathroom and they didn't have one for me. I asked them where did they go. But drivers couldn't use it. I hate the Rude ashhhhh people in the New England States, so part of my...

The freedom that it gives!!! Yes, everything that you said in your post is very true. Its all about what you can put up with. I drove local while our children grew up. My hubby drove semi local got home 1 time during the middle of the week and 1 to 2 days on the weekend. Not that he was good for...

Couldn't say it any better!!!!

Got the Information of 1.10 per loaded mile from 1 of A.Blair's recuiters 6 wks ago.

I double that VOTE VOTE

I hope you are driving a van and not having to log. Cause when you fall asleep driving a van and run into my T/T I know I will not be killed. If you have to work that hard at keeping awake it was time to go to sleep along time ago. NO LOAD IS WORTH YOUR LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSES. And if you are...

Oh i forgot to say 1.10 was for a T/T

At a 1.10 and you pay for everyting you have got to run your butt off just to make it. I feel that this is one of the companies that is bringing down the rate in this industry. It's all about working smarter not harder. NO THANK-YOU. Apples to Apples you didn't even come close to cutting it...

I checked out A blair and at 1.10 a mile and you pay for everything. You have to run your butt off to make it more miles doesn't mean more money. I feel this is one of the companies that is bringing down the freight rate in this industry. I checked apples to apples it is all about working...

Panther is neither, it is all bout being in the right place at the right time. It is also about the industry itself, and how much freight is available. Been with Panther for almost 4 yrs now as a team. Sometimes we get nothing but team runs other times we get nothing but short runs. Just have to...

Charolett putting it that way i do see your point. Problems 7x and trying to deal with a driver. I was not trying to offend. My thought was is that you already have fleet owner meetings and to put it simply we as single owners do not. As with many big companies the open door policy is a little...

Jim and Arlene I could not agree with you more. That is why Phil and I (Barbara) as a single Truck owner T/T decided that we needed to volunteer for this. The fleet owners from my understanding will still have there meetings. We as O/O have alot of the same issues as just drivers do. I just hope...
