I am home. Straps at the ready....no willing particpants so far though :(

Exactly. Now, for the other question. If the feds do raise the bond requirement to $75k or even $100k, is that enough? Personally, I dont think it would be enough for many carriers. I believe it should based on the amount of business a carrier is doing...somehow. I do agree that it would...

For what its worth, I see nothing wrong with it and admire PreacherRich for making the suggestion. I may or may not be at the expo depending on a few things. Preacher, I've had a little fun with this thread as others have. Please accept my apologies if you find any of it offensive. I "think"...

Im thinking the best thing would be some strategicly placed etrack in the bunk area. Strap 'em to the etrack....seems to work for freight?

Would you consider the use of either...more safe...or less safe?

Does that mean it is safe?

Please don't leave out the drivers. Some of these guys could really use a good blessing...especially that one "Highway Star" guy. :D

Feelin a little light in the hip pocket are ya?

The hype is that it will be a gasser at 20mpg or better. If its got the capacity its worth more than a sprinter.

Well....I can tell one that effected me personally. A few years back.....I bought a truck! :D

If your in Memphis on wed night...wednesday night, every week, is bike night on Beale St. Its nothing too over the top, but Ive probably seen as many as 200 bikes show up in the summer time. Beale St is blocked off generally, but they let the bikes in on bike night. Its kinda cool to sit on one...

But do they know they are putting the freight on that specific truck?

In a way I hate to drag this up but it might be something for you to consider, so I will. Could it be that some of these brokers don't want to put freight on a truck running through multiple carriers? I understand that some of them may pass over you for another multiple carrier "carrier", but is...

How about when your looking for being paid? Seems to be the problem for a few?

That is the key right there. Then they have to provide a building, utilities, load boards, insurance, compliance, etc, etc. All of those things have to be accounted for before the owner of the company gets a bologna sandwich even. Otherwise, its not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when"...

Im pretty sure that if you will use the search engine at the top of the page, you'll be able to find some very long and informative threads on this subject.

Seems your argument is more about the definition of words than the actual facts. Your basicly saying the same thing Blizzard said, with different labels. You did do a fine job of degrading those of us who are contractors though, I'll give ya that. I understand the frustration though. When one is...

I gotta give it to ya Preacher....you talk a good game :D Actually, I do believe you have good intentions and you are probably capable of following through on them. At least to some extent. Keeping your bills paid has to become the absolute number one priority in any business. Those that...

I agree with not limiting any business based on its size. I also see a lot of these smaller carriers dropping out while still in debt to their contractors. Its nothing new, happens every day in other lines of work too. I would support a limit, a fair, reasonable, attainable limit for the smaller...

Your post... not one of your best written...made me think somebody may have dumped some liquor in your pond :D Maybe its just me?
