Keep your language clean and it won't have to be edited. Lighten up, it is a expedite forum.

Take it up with Bolt. That isn't the purpose of the forums.

You guys sound like a couple that has been married too long. As your EO therapist, I think it is time for a break.

If they are running that cheap, what difference does it make what year the van is? "Additional pay for excessive deadhead".......................what does that mean exactly? Are you sure you didn't pull that from E-1's website? Oops, I forgot, they only pay .80 cents per mile for a sprinter...

Be careful.....you are providing a "to do list" for Nanny Bloomberg.

Again.....take it to a PM. If you are having this discussion in a Bolt forum it would stand to reason there is "guilt by association".

That may be but you need to lay off the heavy or disguised language. As mentioned, use the private messenging. That is what this type of conversation is for.

I believe it is a good time to take this to PM's. You both are making yourselves and Bolt look bad. Thanks

I know very little about guns but I know a semi-automatic pop tart when I see one. :cool:

If you are just doing the "C" you are more than likely looking a van or a non CDL straight which the latter are going by the wayside. Since you are reading, you probably realize the market is saturated with vans. If you go to a "B" you are better off teaming with someone. Why? Living in Vegas...

With regards to Panther, they don't classify or imply that deadhead or empty moves is actually FSC. They do however use the DOE to determine the full price of fuel on those items and both change weekly with the rise and fall of fuel prices. FSC by itself depends on the customer and what is...

Yes. So far it works out better on the straights. On the cheaper ones they have been decent with subsidizing them. I think when they went to the all DH miles paid, vans were affected more than straight or tractors because the higher rate in the heavier loads gives more to play with. Just my opinion.

Wrong carrier.:cool: But I do find it amusing that we are offered 42 cents on the DH for a straight but some of the runs have a 20 something fsc. Listening to a new dispatcher tell you how great it is provides for some cheap entertainment.

It wouldn't be my style to refer to her as a "lot lizard" but if they aren't listening, probably doesn't matter what is said.

As a clear reminder, it wasn't that long ago we went through this with the last HOS changes. Tons of hearings and comments from the industry only to be largely ignored. Fast forward to today, it appears to be just a repeat of a past performance. Lots of hearings, opinions, and comments only to...

True, but once you are disqualified for health reasons from a career, it becomes a whole lot easier. Throw a few bucks at an attorney and you chances just doubled. I know a few folks in their fifties that did this because of uncontrolable blood pressure and the other was some kind of sleep...

Health police are already here. As mentioned, look at the commercial airline industry. A stewardess has to be a certain height and weight. Or, they say "must be physically fit". The latter of course is open to interpretation. More of a soapbox subject, but most if rejected for health reasons...

This is what happens when you have someone in a position that has a limited background. She was with Maryland Transportation for eleven years. In my opinion, a very limited exposure to the trucking industry. As mentioned, we will see if she is listening. Nothing about being cynical. "Watch...

True. In this case we will see. So far, not impressed.

I'm not a fan of personally trashing someone but I don't currently see anything she has done to benefit the industry. Maybe more interaction like at MATS may help that, but so far it appears she ignores any comments from the trucking industry and seems to pursue her own agenda. Case in point...
