RE: my theory on all this slowdown..... My mom was telling me when she took economics in college they told them it was more about the economic cycle than anything else.

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower sorry i was thinking more along the lines of flatbed.

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower what four letter word sir? tarp? it can be a female dog from time to time. But I enjoyed actually working. And once you get the hang of it it's not that bad unless it's -25 and your tarps are frozen, or the wind is gusing, or it raining cats and...

smokey, in expedite a 500 mile run that has to go straight thru is a team run. Especially if there is very much deadhead in front of it. A solo rarely sees anything much over 350-400 on a weekday. Unless there is time for a break in there somewhere, and there usually isn't. This is becuase most...

Well I guess when I think of it from a lease purchase stand point it would make more sense.

I was just browsing thru the classifieds today and saw an ad from a fleet owner. They were wanting fleet drivers to put money into a maintence escrow for the owners truck. That seems fishy to me. Is this the new trend? If so I guess I missed something.

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower If you had the axles where you could carry the weight I think you could haul some of the steel coils. They really don't take up much room, but you are looking at least 30k pounds so you would need more than a six wheeler to haul it. There are...

I have a cousin with type 1 diabetes, which is juvinele diabetes. He has an insulin pump and he got his waiver only after he had the pump installed.

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower my comment was more t/t than straight truck. most flatbed loads i know of would take more than a six wheeler to haul. If you had a tandem with a tag then you could do a lot more.

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower PLus with a flatbed you can get a good paying brokered load just about anywhere if you need it and not have to deal with multiple picks and drops, or lumpers.

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Dianne, I wasn't questioning your #'s. It would make perfect sense from an owner's point of view to take the higher rate if you can get. It just doesn't make much sense to me if I put myself in panther's shoes. Why pay a truck a highr rate for...

ok i'm gonna get on my soap box. Today I found out that a farmer I know got beat down by 3 teenagers for telling them they couldn't joy ride on his land. Not only did they beat him down they rammed his truck. He had to walk a mile to his house injured! His wife took him to the hospital and they...

I guess you can do it, but it would get real confussing for the people in the office.

The only thing is this. It's easy to say you could/would pull the trigger before you get that situation. You never really know until you've been there. Plus just knowing you took another life weather justified or not will weigh heavy on your mind until you die. You will never forget.

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Let me get this straight. They pay you elite pay weather it's an elite load or not? Does fedex do this with the white glove trucks?

All I can say is Freightiner in N.Little Rock isn't the best one around imo. It took the a week to replace an air bag on the suspension of a truck a driving once. Another time they didn't put my dad's oil plug in good and snug and it was leaking oil. Luckily he checked it because he saw the oil...

The cb shop I use to work at charged 12.50 for a cb install.

I've always had an easier time backing into a tight spot than I do a wide open spot. Guess I'm just weird.

Cheri, I think if we could get a bunch of people to donate it could be good pr for the industry. Just a thought. Anne, We got soda and cookies. Plus a tshirt. It said I have a job, i voulunteer, I give blood. What do you do? Well I don't have a job, but I do volunteer. That's unless you count...

Terry, I'll take you up on that challenge. One question though. How many pints are in a gallon? My history teacher in the 11th grade was a 20 gallon donor at the time. He said he got high off giving blood. I really didn't experince that eurphoria but it was a good feeling. I actually feel better...
