I sympathize with you, believe me I was in the same situation but I realized that the carrier, FedEx is the one in control and no one else. IF you are treated as a partner or anything other than a plain contractor, you would have a say in the negotiations with the customer to a point. This means...

gasp ... $2.56 gasp gasp ... $2.63

Congrats Brisco, you are another member of the exclusive ignored by Phil club. We meet once a week by the way. I'm still trying to figure out how someone who has their truck paid for, makes millions and is part of an elite group can be in a difficult situation. Oh and Brisco, I read the...

Well Layout don't take this wrong but I got to say that if you run your business by expecting every penny to recoup the cost of all the equipment with todays competition, maybe you need to look at what others are willing to give to get the customer's business. To me that little thing, which it...

Which line is it? Do you have an air dryer? Who is he? There is a governor which unloads the compressor.

But Turtle, isn't it the case that if FedEx didn't change with the market, they would have lost more than a few contractors? What I find odd is the comment that this is stirring up contractors who are in a difficult situation which I want to know what constitutes a difficult situation - a lack...

You know I understand what you are getting at, I agree with some of it but the problem is that you have on one side of the political spectrum the stirring up of people by using terms to scare them into thinking the worst will happen while at the same time not one of them seems to support actual...

So what's up with the Hammock thing?

Chef, Is there an option for a solid roof?

Brisco, I am put off by that - just kidding. The problem is that he is one of many and so is layout who now see one problem that has been around for a while. I know other WG teams making money, they don't seem to complain or feel the company is abandoning them in the dust but they also know...

It is the guy or gal who makes a living driving. They should know better than those who don't make a living driving.

Well I would normally agree with you but a few years back we had a cop who did just that, pulled out into traffic and got killed. There wasn't much warning to his actions and the guy who hit him just happened to be drunk. Many question the actions of the cop, which was reported to just pull out...

Nope I don't see the point. Expedited freight isn't what expedited freight used to be. It seems more or less a hodge podge of ltl and "opps we forgot that on the dock" freight.

Well I tried to clean up the between the fence and the shed today while my wife tried to cut the lawn. I have to put up a temporary shelter next week to clean out the basement from the flood now that we finally got the paper work back from FEMA. It was a serious of frustrating moments - I have...

We observed a long time ago that Ham Radio operators are the worst drivers ever.

Cheap shot about what? It would make a great hammock mount.

I not saying that at all, what I'm saying is if people want to be concern about things, pick things that are true and not follow the herd. It doesn't matter to me what or how people make their money, what matters to me is when a person like buffet says we need to pay more taxes but fails to...

Hammock maybe?

Well I would have but ... I didn't include the many many foreign cars like the holden UTE or Ford Popular. I had a Squareback, though it wasn't a delivery version. How did it drive? I liked it. It liked the seats a bit more than the sprinter seats and for sure like them better than the...

Turtle, paullud, not discounting the present system we use to collect taxes - a punitive system at best but my point is that both parties and many of the liberals and conservatives alike are talking about the lowering or raising of the tax rate while not doing anything else. At the same time...
