    Cargo Van/Own Authority Start Up

    Wouldn't you need authority just because you're a carrier? I understand not needing a DOT number, and I certainly appreciate the freedom of having one less shackle on my operations, but if you're a carrier, you're a carrier, regardless of truck weight. I could be wrong, (see sig line)

    Opinions on self defense

    You have the right to bear arms, and also the right to refuse to do so. You do NOT have the right to make that decision for anyone else, except your own underage children.

    After 4 years, still the same lost soles

    Companies in all kinds of industries have been depending on churn for years. When I ran ambulance in the 80s, I learned very quickly that your fifth month on the job would always be the worst. Sloppy partners, 10-year-old vehicles, ghetto runs all day; these were par for the course in your 5th...

    How inconsiderate some people are.

    Sounds like a personal thing between the two of them.... It's this easy: If you wouldn't pee outside on your parents' lawn, don't do it in public. If you can't hold your water long enough to go inside the truckstop, go see a doctor :o

    Super Thread : East Coast Storm info ONLY.

    Very very happy to hear that you're OK and staying busy :) DO, however, make sure to look after your emotional well-being. You have been through a trauma that very few people outside the Gulf Coast understand. There is NO SHAME WHATSOEVER in needing to talk it out with someone; pastor...
