Let them have civil unions or get married. The only objection I would have is if they tried to force a non believing church to marry them. Like all factions of a group, there will be a few that demand that. Couldn't support that line of thinking. That is true that many just want "the marriage"...

Just wow. A whole weekend of discussing the gay lifestyle. Simply amazing. As long as they aren't asking someone to "participate", I don't see the big deal. If we are going the way of religion, God says love everyone. Let God sort it out if he wants. Not our place to worry about what others are...

A non paying fleet owner say that is broke or whatever, can't be charged for theft of services. A driver can recover lost monies through a small claims court. One can represent themselves unless you are talking about big money. You would still have to go to small claims court anyway in order...

You know the old saying......"when a dispatchers lips are moving". Probaby figures in to this story.

A little of this depends on what state you are in. Phil is correct in that it can't be deemed stolen until you are past that contractual date. At that point, a police report is issued followed by a stolen vehicle insurance claim. Money owed or not doesn't enter it . That is a small claims issue...

Not sure on what the ratio would be as far as trucks actually leased by Penske, but many are purchased used or picked up at auctions.

I'm ok with the death penalty, but only in very limited cases. Our courts have displayed way too many times that they got it wrong. It is almost daily actually. They need to shore that up with very specific criteria that someone did something before they go forward. And that means actual...

With just running straights, I would say they picked back up much faster than vans. January was pathetic but it bounced back in Febuary and March. So far, April has been pretty decent with one week in. January last year was stellar. Just goes to show you can never tell in this business. One of...

No. That wouldn't be PC. Have to call them Goodwill Stations.

The likely scenerio is the owner just reports it stolen and files an insurance claim. Then the recovery becomes the police and the insurance company. Insurance company isn't going to care who is owed what other than they want their money for the claim. If you are owed money, there is a legal way...

He could be in some dangerous territory. Lot of places to go but with limited information it is too hard to comment.

There certainly is that possibility.

Found out today we are safe.

Balance would be the key. Even more so with vans. Kind of like a restaurant. If you have great high dollar food but only serve one or two customers a night, it is tough to keep the doors open. One is likely out of balance if they suddenly find folks dropping off clothes and couches for...

That is likely true. I don't hire two different household individuals for teams. Just too much agenda and personal counseling sessions to deal with. ;)

You have a difficult situation due to making some wrong turns. Without a doubt, there are many in your same set circumstances. Back to your question of "what determines a outstanding living"? I go by the available numbers. The median HOUSEHOLD income (not individual) last year was roughly...

Research and understanding the business are paramount for a good relationship with a fleet owner. There are many out here with various carriers that make an outstanding living. Ummm????? Why is that? There is a variety of reasons. As for comparing truckload carriers, I would question that...

There are carriers that run that way and generally pay pretty cheap. I do agree that someone can do that type of run, but that is much different than whether it is smart to do it. If you are going for hours and miles on your feet, then Micky's is the place. If you are tired the worst thing...

One thing for sure, if it takes running 1500 mile Laredo runs straight through in order for you to be successful, then I feel comfortable saying this isn't the business for you regardless of the carrier. Everyone wants to make money, but common sense should be a component in that endeavor...

Anyone doing this long enough has always had a turn or two on the wheel of madness.
