I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying how it was forty plus years ago. Times have changed with business practices and the electronics. If they have a contract then yes you should be paid period no excuse. There are some brokers and company operators that could care less about paying...

I agree with the others. Maybe another small side bar on the left?

I guess if they don't want to get paid it's not their concern. A lot of brokers don't pay until they are paid. It used to be a normal practice until the operators could not operate w/o advances.

Sounds like they don't pay you until they get paid. Some companys factor their recievables which cuts their draw about 5%, they probably don't. The best way to find out these things is call them direct and question them from a list you have made up and reading from. Also ask for references...

If your talking of less than 10K C/Van the answer is a simple no. 100K Cargo insurance 1,000,000 liability

I don't think there is a large amount of jobs once the pipe line is built. It will mostly be automatic just like the pipe lines in place now. But the amount of construction jobs and just think about how many truck loads of pipe at 40' each it will take to do it. I can see a lot of truckers...

Please don't take this wrong because if anyone here can't stand O'bama its me. Just my thoughts. Nebraska agreed to a new route around the water trofe. I think what OB has in mind to pease everyone is to let Canada run the pipe line to Vancouver BC and everyone compete for that oil on the...

Yes he did ask for vehicle insurance, like they are required to do when stopping anyone. Most cops don't even think about liability (commercial). But anyway like you say another story.

Still doesn't answer the insurance question. Most DOT guys never check that issue because most are carrying freight for a major recognized carrier. They don't think of it when they stop joe blow. Seems to me that's where you could shut most of those people down because they are hauling for...

The guy in the van pulling a trailer was really pitiful. He's probably already out of business. Matter of fact was it a business? It also amazes me that no one challenges cargo and liability insurance with such high valued freight.:rolleyes:

It's a funny thing, you pull a load for a company that pays top dollar, they are nice people, easy to get along with and you never hear a complaint. You pull a load for a cheap company and you get nothing but crap. These people that that ship cheap;) like this as well as those who hire them...

I stand corrected on the pressure, I put to many zeros in it. As far as cars and hoses, you need to spend some time in NY watching them fight fires. You cannot make a claim because of damage because you interfered with fire operations. The cops on the scene are writting tickets. Don't get in...

If you have your own authority DOT will come to your office and revue your filing papers and inspect your DOT compliance. They do it to the biggest companys down to the one and only owner operator. Most owner operators work from home and that what they mean, nothing more.

Oh, and he didn't mention anything about hosing down innocent bystanders trying to take a picture, though he did mention it was fun to break car windows on cars blocking the fire hydrant and pass the hose through the windows from the hydrant to the building. Thats just about the lamest...

I agree. We only get 11% of our oil from Saudi, but our allies get a lot more and we are bound to protecting them. If we got the pipeline from Canada and the new reserves in Alaska we could posibly get less. I listened to a Navy Admiral say that the Iranian Navy would take us 15 minutes to...

I would have thought it would be the other way going into Canada but the way our people act on the border that's hard to believe. Most of them have a personality disorder.;)

Yeh man I can see it now, "Chevy CargoMax clocked doing 195mph, Wow". Was it Chef? No it was Rocket man, no wait could'nt make it out, just a blur.:rolleyes::D

Yes I agree, the only thing I wish he could do is respond faster to questions. It looks as though he's fishing for an answer.;)

I'm sorry what was the last one I dozed off.:D

It seems to me when the economy goes down lots of people think about driving trucks. They see a lot of trucks, they must be making money. Then when the economy gets better and those same people get worn out and can't take it anymore ( driving, being gone etc.) they head for the barn and it...
