You have to be careful doing that because it changes your drive line angles. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

I worry that the rolling roadblocks just make civilians mad, running 100% legal is one of the other ideas I was thinking of. Having drivers of companies that make up the ATA log all loading and unloading time and spend an hour a day doing a pretrip would be great. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO...

That is a sure sign of us being defeated, people that just want to complain and be negative but are to lazy or have no hope for the future. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

I have heard talk about it for years and sometimes talk will lead to action and sometimes it is just people that want to complain but not act. My thinking is that if people are actually sick of it then an organization could help everyone get on the same page and set up a "strike" or not driving...

Any PM you send out should be in your sent folder, you should be able to copy and paste from there. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

I never eliminated kidnapping and murder, I just said I wasn't talking about it.:D You do have some interesting ideas though, maybe OOIDA would be interested. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

I think as much as the media tries to portray that idea it is no longer the case. I think working together to force change will prevent someone from looking like a lone wolf or nut job. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

No, I meant love of our country and taking it to where it was intended to be. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

The age of the truck will be an issue for the bigger carriers since they usually don't accept trucks over 10 years old. Have you seen the truck and taken it into a shop to have it tested? You could spend $3-4k just to get the truck checked out and fixed up to pass inspection. Depending on the...

While they do get paid by the hour they are also under pressure to meet quotas plus the added insult of drivers showing they are above them. Again it is just one idea, I have others but nothing is set in stone and I'm not forming a group right now. I am just wondering if people are ready to take...

I wouldn't agree with him at all, maybe a little patriotism refresher would do some good. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

When bidding on things like this you don't want to go in with the idea of placing a high bid thinking they will talk you down, they have no idea what they are doing here so I would say you will only have one chance. I see this a lot with newer brokers when bidding on loads but you have to...

Due to some of the conversations in some other threads I was wondering if people would be interested in a driver's organization that is based more on actions or reactions by members of the group. I am not talking about kidnappings or murder but maybe being uncooperative during roadside...

Are you saying that you and the truck are in California and you can't find a company to lease on with? I'm not trying to be difficult but depending on where the punctuation goes it can change the meaning of your statement to mean a few different things. What kind of truck is it? What has caused...

FIGHT THE POWER!!! Bring them to their knees, Ahahahahahaaa. This has been my plan all along and have encouraged others to do the same, we need to break them to get back freedom. The other option to stick it to the insurance companies that backed this garbage is to get their coverage if you need...

Some of us in the bigger vehicles need to watch what the "van" guys are doing. An APU is way to much money for the benefit of not idling, I would dump the APU and mount a generator in it's place. I am looking into buying a new one then cutting the tank in half and reweld it to be about twice the...

My mother was a 5th grade teacher for 38 years in upstate NY and she found the common theme that seems to run rampant in government programs, the people in charge have no experience. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

That is one of the big issues I see coming up, all these low class and a large portion of middle class employers will just drop their coverage and pay the fine. Then all those workers end up on Medicare or Medicaid which of course will tell the doctors and hospitals that they will only get paid...

Well he just raised taxes on the middle class, gee I wonder what happened to Obama's promise not to do exactly that. Please tell me this is the boiling point that brings the government to its knees so they can be put back in their place. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

One thing I do is simple and cheap, I am a member of OOIDA. I also talk to the general public about a lot of the regulations and explain all the taxes on us get passed on to them. I also mention that we lose Constitutional rights to become drivers. I just like to give them a quick overview so...
