Do you really expect a free rag to have all kinds of interesting articles? You get what you pay for and in this case it is pretty much nothing. And that coming from a Nascar fan!!

I'd think with the deal FECC has with Pfizer it would be pretty easy to get out. Plus all the other freight that goes out of there. At one point Memphis was considered the "Distrubution Center of the South".

I thought this business was all about you being able to negotiate with the carrier. It sounds to me like that is being taken away. Either take it or leave it. I dunno. I'm not with the Fed so maybe I shoudln't say anything since I don't have a dog in that fight.

It seems like someone who is trying to get their feet wet on their own would be running into alot of closed doors right now. I'm half way investigating it for much farther down the road. You know long term goals. It just seems like one of those deals where everyone wants you to be up and running...

It seems to me everytime they strike they just give the manufacters another excuse to ship more jobs overseas.

Not all smokers are disrespectful with their bad habit. I would never dream of smoking in someone's home because I don't smoke in my own. Not even if they smoke in their home. It just doesn't feel right. I've tried quitting but haven't been succesful. I'll keep trying. In the smoking cessation...

So do most of the larger carriers utilize "partner carriers"?

It shouldn't matter what it is or where it comes from as long as it pays. Heck I hauled a load of human feces from Stuttgart,AR to Va.Beach,VA for a buddy of mine once. It was just like soot. It paid good though. I hauled it in a grain trailer. They used it for fertilizer. I've also hauled...

So once someone was all set up with authority and what not would they contact the backhaul department or is there an outside contractor department?

If it's not dark enough for you Pelicn you can always double layer it. Of course I'm sure you already knew that.

The sad thing about it is think about what gas prices were like when you were in high school. I used to put 10 bucks in my old v-8 chevy pick up on Friday and it seemed like I could ride around forever on that gas. Now it takes 10 bucks just to get the pump turned on.

I see people sometimes writing about how they get loads off of places like Panther's bid board. How do you get on Panther's bid board or on one of the others? I guess I'm trying to figure out how some of the one truck outfits get to service the larger companies.

Well I think Johnson not piting to get fuel and getting way out ahead was smart. It also shows that the difference between win and lose can be decided by decisions made by the crew cheif from calculations given to him by the pit crew. It's a team sport. I thought it was kinda cool. It's kinda...

Wouldn't that be ironic. Phil, Are you saying we can order it a the barnes and noble website?

If you ask me what they need to do is take some of the money they are wasting and use it to construct some new refineries. Even if it's through grants. I mean the problem with the supply isn't the amount of crude as much as it is refining capacity. Then about the refineries in the Gulf Coast...

When I was with Panther I talked to brokers from time to time on backhauls. You tell them it's to cheap then they say they will call you back to see if they can add more money to it. I worked for a man here in Arkansas once and he said when they can get up in the numbers I need them to be in...

That's not much over a quater a mile. That kind of rate is nuts. That's cheap freight I don't care who you are or what kind of expenses you do or don't have.

I had something similar to that happen to me. I lost a load of steel east of Dallas on I-30 one Monday morning during rush hour. Right on the bridge just past the TA in Rockwall. Everyone there hated me. I felt like crap. But you know what? You live and learn. I learned more from that one...

I'm getting that movie.

What would be the point in someone saying they are something they aren't that's crazy. I think an aircraft carrier would be a pretty big "expedite" carrier. Expediting a butt whooping that is.
