The 5k deductible doesn't apply to Panther. Some other carriers have that as a deductible for the liability side and for cargo insurance.

Umm??? Yes they do. We pay 7.50 per week per vehicle at Panther for what is called a "liability limiter". Got 10 trucks, that is 3900 a year. They say that is so the deductible stays at $1000 per vehicle. And of course you have the other side. Some nameless carriers have a deductible of 5k...

Very true. I think a lot of companies are passing their insurance costs off to the operator. Tough sell as the operator gets hit twice. Once from the carrier and then through their own bobtail policy. Just another reason we won't do the cheap freight.

We got you covered Star. :p

Is this like driving illegal to claim you have faster service? The reality is, rogue carriers cost everyone whether through cheap rates or paying higher insurance premiums to subsidize the ones who won't. Almost like Obama care.lol

Should have called earlier Turtle. Could have got you back on the road sooner.

Very true. No one knows better than I when starting in the vending industry. Use to sell gumballs for a penny. lol They add up when doing 48 states. But like trucking, it starts with the first penny. See, there is something to that "there's my penny in pond".

Just amazing. I am still shocked that some don't realize this is just a high dollar hobby.:D

Your last question says it all. Until they take some responsibility in their communities, it is a sad road ahead. Trillions, yes trillions, of government/taxpayer dollars spent, and really no change. Throwing money at it will change nothing and hasn't up to this point. The very people they need...

That is what long term liberal policies bring to many of these areas. Chase all the business and higher property tax payers out and you get a mess. Even when they have federal money, it is often wasted away. Baltimore is second in the nation in spending per student and look at their education...

If they are protesting they are not criminals. When they riot and loot, then they are criminals. Pretty simple.

I would disagree. I see them as two separate issues. Not to do that does nothing but relieve parents of any responsibility. That is a different issue than mistreatment by police.

Seems to be a developing story with implied ties to Ferguson. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/04/28/social-media-analysis-suggests-links-between-baltimore-and-ferguson-violence/

I don't know whether his record was a contributing factor or not. With that many arrests, it would be likely they knew who he was. As mentioned, I did say I think it is part of the reason. A known person who constantly gets in trouble is always a likely target of police. I do think there were...

This might be part of it.

Didn't have Fox on at that time. The question was being asked by reporters at WMC news in Memphis. They have been having flash mobs recently at several stores in the inner city. They were comparing these kids to the riots in Baltimore.

Just saw a couple of flashes on TV, politics aside, where are all these kids parents?

This stuff will continue or get worse until police get a grip on how they arrest people. I don't know all the facts, but the cops screwed up big time on that arrest.

That is a shocking post there Cheri. "They refuse to accept blame for their own inability." That would be the argument that is used for a whole host of issues that push personal responsibility on to others. Because of course, "many just don't wanna".

Very true. Sad, but true. I would be ok with a woman president, but certainly not a fan of Hillary.
