Probably not. I think he is referring to not FedEx drivers, but the price some "bottom feeders" will haul for off their broker boards. No "rose colored glasses" for sale at the cat that I am ware of. Maybe some "cheap sunglasses" :cool: As for the rest of it, Turtle hit the nail on the head...

No, I would say they were pretty valid. A select few chose to but themselves on a plane above others at times while defending a carrier that wasn't working in the operators best interest when they did at one time. Those facts that were presented over time have come to fruition just as was...

Based on this thread I guess it is safe to assume the "Purple pom-poms and promise" are history?

That is the bottom line. As companies create that atmosphere, they either force their operators somewhere else, they quit, or they quickly become their competition. Then companies scratch their head and claim there is a "driver shortage".

That only works if the operator is negotiating their own freight. Someone leased to a carrier doesn't always have that option. You either take it or they give it to the next guy. Competition drives a lot of the low rates and low charges.

If one is worried about "bambooziling" people I would look no farther than our federal government. Religion of any type doesn't even come close. That is where I would put the focus if one is concerned.

Regardless of what side of the fence you are on, those people giving money to churches are often and many times used for a variety of charities. Not likely to find that coming out of the gay or non religious/atheist communities in the same portions. Doesn't mean they are bad, but they are in no...

If one is not religious, I don't know why they would care what the religious folks do with their money or anything else for that matter. No real reason for concern unless they demand you give to the church. Look at it as giving money for the causes of global warming.

Maybe under a old Constitution. We don't use that any more.

What kind of government would we be if we started taxing "Time of trouble beans" & "End of the world gravy"? :cool: Disgraced televangelist now selling food for the apocalypse | Fox News

I don't think there is any question that he plans to grant amnesty or something close to those who are here illegally. And these will be the very people who will go after other minority's jobs. Yet they will keep voting the same way. Of course if too many get mad, we will offer another...

I guess it may depend on how often it is happening. So far, I haven't heard of it but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. The biggest concern is with the article. It just seems too much like a scare political piece.

It appears that many companies fleets are shrinking. In order to maintain the same level of income, they pull the difference from their contractors. Using Bubblehead's example, that is a significant decrease in revenue. That isn't to pick on the Fed, but it does show where they are going with...

No need to complicate the simple. Sounds like miscommunication and expectations are different. I think it has to be looked at as a team effort. Our drivers let me know when they are going home and there is little if any conversation about the miles. My drivers pay fuel but there is a inherit...

All kinds of "steering wheel" holders out there. That is why we generally look for already seasoned folks. Sometimes it is cheaper to park the truck and wait. With that said, freight is competitive. Many companies would rather have a revolving door than try to keep their existing drivers. Until...

No, no, no. Fox News is "fair & balanced". :cool:

Happy Birthday!:o Enjoy your day.

It is a generator. Pretty good size one actually. I think they are 6k on the generator size.

And on a side note, you have to admit, their commercials are pretty funny.

On the surface, it sounds like your unit is ok.
