Really? Wow I think I pay a third of that.

Yep equal, a foreign country is still a foreign country. No matter, do you take loads to Mexico or expect the loads to travel on their own? I take loads to Canada and if I lived in say Laredo, I would most likely do the same thing. I know a few who do this down there, Yuma and in Eagle Pass...

So why don't you recap. You are trying to create software for what? To figure out what freight is?

Why so much for worker comp?

Yep Turtle, I make a lot of mistakes typing and know the difference but I don't care. I should put more effort into the posts when I talk about political things but I only type long posts to relieve the pain in my hands, not to make it look like I'm an expert on anything as some think. With...

Seriously?!? Cheri, did you read this and the other threads on this subject? I'm not picking on Layout specifically (so relax layout), but I got to say ... seriously?!?

But either way the fact is that Canada is a foreign country **GASP** and the work that a US drivers can do is being done by the Canadian drivers which makes it an equal issue and still jobs hang in the balance. Safety is another issue, even if Mexico becomes as safe as Canada, it is still a...

Oh, that's not producing goods in china and then shipping them through Mexico as you seemed to have claimed. That is actually producing an end product in Mexico and using Mexico to move it here without tariffs. a bit of a difference. See this is the thing - we also do that. We the consumer...

SHOW ME. I worked at a customs' broker here in the area and learned how the system works. THIS is after I imported products from China and Russia years ago and had to deal with US customs on product labeling. A broker can face serious issues if they falsified documents to get products into the...

All I can say is hope you all have other back up plans or investments just in case. AND? I have invested in foreign companies while they are making a profit, when they don't, I will shift my investments back to US companies. Actually I do own and operate my truck and don't see the concern...

Don't be offended by this but ... Duh! Don't you read the forum? :p The bestest carrier out there is the one with the most elated posts about it, its contractors and van washing system (not to mention the massage and spa center, the drivers theater with personalized pop corn and beverage...

Not a dumb question but one that only can be answered by the dealer. There are a number of MB dealers who will be happy to service them on MB's terms but there are a few who won't even let them on the lot. When it comes down to it, not too many dealers employ actual mechanics.

Because we had to put up with Nancy Grace

NAFTA wasn't the reason we saw jobs leave the country, it was another means for it to happen. See I think many of you miss a few things about how a lot of this works, it isn't that the company just want to up and leave but they have to either find resources to make the products that they sell...

Being limitedly sensitive is one thing, but boxing yourself in by trying to conform is another. Unless your career depends on you being multicultural sensitive, be proud and don't worry what others think.

That's sad, I would have liked to see her serve another 10 years but then there are others who purger themselves in court who get to walk after 18 months with a new career.

I understand, I have nothing against the Canadian trucker other than they need to learn off ramps are not passing lanes. The same goes for the Mexican trucker or the Indian trucker or the few thousand eastern European truckers who are here. I only wish people would learn what some of this crap...

Korea was a civil war, north vs. south. Vietnam was a civol war, north vs. south. NOW Libya is a civil war, the government vs. who the hell knows. We lost Korea because we didn't get a chance to finish the job and dumping billions into their economy while defending their land. We lost in...

Because most can't get a passport to enter this country.

Are you basing everything that happens in this industry on what happens in Laredo? I can't because I am more concern with the losses incurred by the fact that Canadian trucks deliver here and take back stuff directly to Canada (no offense Canada). It HAS more of an impact than any Mexican...
