Charlee, when you ask a Contractor to build a House with out a price before the work begins. It's called "Time & Material" you might be suprised on how many people do it.

I don't think Bill France senior or Junior actually fixed a race, but there is no doubt in my mind there were Drivers & owners who received favorable treatment (as in ignoring infractions) for those they favored. Not only Drivers but Manufactures also.

366 days for 2008, plus 4 years at 365 days per year, $250.00 per week $65,214.00 used my Calculator.

I'm not a Math whiz, but that would appear to be at least $60,000.00 for a VAN.

I have a question for Sprinter owners, how are they on Ice, Snow, or other slippery surfaces? I own a E 350 Ford when it's loaded it will go about anywhere. If it's empty I'm lucky to go on level ground if it's slick. Thanks to all who answer.

As far as paying the $89.75 or what ever the charge is for the back ground check, why not pass the test first?

I am sorry to go back on my word BUT Disability is not difficult to qualify for. This Country is crawling with Attorneys advertising services to get a person qualified. I had two good friends who have since cashed in. One in his late thirties and the other early fifties. They both drew full...

My last remark on this. Mypie your a Saint, everyone on Welfare is disabled, there's not an able bodied, lazy, milk the system person out there.

Mypie, for the amount of people you have never met you must lead a very sheltered life.

How well do I remember, it was in the late September, I was strolling down the street quite full of pride. My heart was all a flutter when I fell into the Gutter and a Pig came up and lay down by my side. As I lay there in the Gutter to soused to even mutter a lady passing by was heard to say...

When you mentioned Diamond-Reo, before they were Diamond- Reo, it was Diamond T and Reo Speed Wagon. They merged, I believe in the early sixties.

Unemployment is a personal choice. I woud rather work then collect.

Mypie, I don't hate anyone. I'm 67 years old have worked for .60 cents an hour to be able to eat I have NEVER drawn unemployment or Welfare. The majority of these people are LAZY. Offer them a job and they will say I won't work for that little. Obesity is a life style choice for a lot of...

Cher1122 & Turtle, I am not looking for an argument, but I also read the Article about obese people. Saying Mississippi had the most Obese people. IT IS NOT FOR LACK OF MONEY it's a LIFE STYLE CHOICE. I'm, 5'9" weigh 162 lbs. I have lived on Rice and Pasta, salads most of my life. In 2000 I was...

When I was, for a short time with Panther I found 95% of the Dispatchers to be pleasant and helpful. One in particular who worked the late afternoon early evening shift would answer questions for me, and if I were really screwed up trying to find a consignee he would stay on the Cell phone and...

Mr. Bricker, it may be true smaller carriers have a better chance to remember who a driver is, but it seems to me, even though I no nothing about Computers that any Company large or small could/should have a Program that a Dispatcher could type O/O Truck # in and it would immediately show...

I don't believe you will average 400 miles day. I think most will want you to drive somewhere around 2/3rds of each Month. Which would be 8,400 miles on a 21 day month. Although I expect you will get Recruiters who will not tell you so. When I inquired at Panther asking if 1500 miles a week was...

I left Panther II in December 2007 at that time the mileage, according to dispatch was from the shipper, along with what ever the FSC was. I found out from my very first run I was almost always driving more miles then I was paid for whether I followed their directions or used my own Atlas. near...

I have two dogs that travel with me. Never had a problem, Dispatch would tell me in Advance if they wanted me to keep them in the truck while on certain Consignee's Property. If we had been in the Truck for awhile I would stop just outside the gate, let them run then go on in.
