    Same Sex Marriage coming your way

    Wow....put a little historic fact in there, add a hermaphrodite and some religion and that just about shuts a religious thread down. Who would've thunk? ;)

    New Fleet Owner

    I would agree. That is kinda how we started. Some of those folks that started with us early on, are now current fleet owners. It is great because we talk to them on a regular basis. But as mentioned, don't be mistaken as this is a expensive business to operate with smaller margins per truck...

    New Fleet Owner

    Lots of good advice. The reality is that anyone can be a fleet owner. Being a successful one over a sustained period of time is quite another. Even more so in what many may consider a challenging and constantly changing industry. Navigating those waters are challeging even for the most seasoned...

    Trucking Rule Changes in the Last 10 Years

    Kind of goes under EPA list but just running the DEF now that does pretty much nothing other than adding 15 to 20k to the price of a new truck. Now that we are idling a half hour every day for no reason (except maybe a solo), the original concept of saving a tree just went out the window.

    Trucking Rule Changes in the Last 10 Years

    Oh...come on Phil, that list is a little long. It takes them a little while to figure out what is good for us.:rolleyes: Kinda like "lipstick on a pig". :eek:

    Trucking Rule Changes in the Last 10 Years

    Yep...just like the latest Obamacare mess. Had to move the mandate for businesses to 2015 because they finally seen that train wreck coming right in front of the mid-term elections.

    1/2 hour break still going smoothly

    Looks more like a case of the Caffee's adapting to something that makes little sense. Which is what most of us will be doing.......adapting.

    TK

    In a perfect world, that would all be dandy. Reality says otherwise. All you have to do is read all the problems some of them have. Some companies well intented start out ok but are undercapitalized. Freight slows and suddenly they start slow paying or not paying at all. And we know the rest of...

    Running up to Lodi Metals . . .

    It is hard to reconcile that statement with your earlier post. You are trying to convince people that the back of the seat is a load securement device. Whether it appears to move or not has nothing to do with it. What does matter is the sheer strength of the seat bolt to stop a load at...

    Running up to Lodi Metals . . .

    The first skid if not secured will take the driver and the seat out depending on the weight, speed, and type of impact. If that van rolls, you now have nothing stopping it except your head. Simple physics will tell you that the bolts holding the seat to the floor that you are using for a...

    New HOS start today - figure out how to make it work

    That is the bottom line. It does nothing to improve safety or improve anything for that matter. Maybe get lucky with one of the pending lawsuits. One thing for sure, Ferro needs to go. She has been pretty worthless up to this point.

    Next on the agenda

    Not sure if he is in his right mind, but maybe he just wants the house cleaned faster.;) Too good not to use. :cool: Probably just the start of it. I read that a brother and sister want to marry in I believe IA and there is some kind of case in FL where a father wants to marry a daughter...

    Same Sex Marriage coming your way

    To many of the religious right, it affects you greatly. Just go back and read through this thread. Just the fact that you are condoning it is a "non-no" in the eyes of many.

    Same Sex Marriage coming your way

    That is usually what I find facinating or maybe I should say intriguing about religion. A simple scripture can be put out there and interpreted so many different ways. I wouldn't say one way is right over the other as no one really knows for sure. It is all about what someone else wrote. Like...

    Same Sex Marriage coming your way

    I believe the friction based on these posts is how there is only one interpretation. Basically yours. Since it is acknowledged there are many religions, those religions interpret the Bible in numerous different ways. I am not sure what "you people" you are refering to. If it is someone that...

    Same Sex Marriage coming your way

    If someone doesn't agree with you, I wouldn't be so quick to assume they are "non believers". That is why there are different religions. If they all said and followed the same thing, there would only be one religion. What you may interpret as "mocking" may be something as simple as someone not...

    New HOS start today - figure out how to make it work

    No part of society will go untouched unless you work for the government or are a lobbyist. And even then.:rolleyes: Even Wall Street doesn't escape it now.

    New HOS start today - figure out how to make it work

    This is what happens when people are writing laws for industries they know nothing about. This will continue literally everywhere regardless of the business. As long as we keep electing the same people, we likely will get the same result. Soooo....based on that, it is pretty much make the best...

    UPS to Offer New Service

    Yes...it is United Parcel Service. And yes, both the Fed and Panther haul reefer loads for them. Not really a new service as this has been going on for quite a few years actually.
