    Caldwell is out. Anybody here going to miss him ? Replacement ? Josh ? Matt ? Gruden ? Not Gruden. I see him in Oakland/Vegas. Particularly if the Raiders offer him partial ownership. Personally, I’d stay in the booth.

    When Should You Like or Dislike a Post

    Kind of a double negative deal. If the post is negative, death, illness, etc I would think a negative response is appropriate. You should dislike a negative post, not like it. And the opposite is true. Just my opinion.

    When Should You Like or Dislike a Post

    I think it’s generally not meant to be meaness. More a misunderstanding of the process.

    When Should You Like or Dislike a Post

    I use only my iPhone. It gives me the full gamut, if I’m logged on the site. I do most of my reading logged off, as a visitor, so I don’t have the option to like/dislike. I don’t use the app.

    2017 MB Sprinter extended warranty

    Probably no downgrade from Espar to Webasto. A lot use Espar because that dealer works this market. If he dropped Espar and started carrying Webasto I imagine his customers would change also. In my last truck I put 600,000 miles on a Webasto and never did anything other than turn it on or off...

    If you don’t like the inconsistency of paychecks now, how would it be if you had a $5,000 +/- truck payment due next week ? And before you can catch up, you get another one. Multipled by breakdowns. Not only do you lose income, you’ve got to cover the repair. There are many people out there...

    Nervous newbie

    Josh, at this point you really don’t need to worry about all that. Just worry about doing what you’re doing, learning what works and doesn’t work. If you’re not a good driver, you can’t be a good O/O. Just because you’re a good driver that doesn’t mean you’ll be a good O/O. You seem bright...

    Cargo Van Any good lease purchase options for CV w/ Panther

    Grizzly is right on. A legit dealer CAN let you know what you are paying. In the Finance Office they can use your affordable payment to help with upsells. Most dealers do the three card monte thing. I’ve had lots of vehicles, one time having seven nice running cars,pickups in my stable. Later...

    When Should You Like or Dislike a Post

    A well liked retired poster posted today that she lost her husband of many years. The post received a like. Another member recently posted he received a few likes for posting that he was sick or injured. This week I posted that I often walk a long distance to a restaurant. It received a...

    Nervous newbie

    That’s alittle rough. It must have felt right at the time, or you wouldn’t have gotten in that position. It may be good for the next guy up. Trucking is in a constant flux; always changing. Some people can adjust. If you can, you’ve got to decide, is it worth it ? If you can’t, move on. It...

    Thought Some Might Want To Know......

    Sorry to hear that. Glad the illness was brief. I may have met you once, very briefly. Prayers to you and the family. Especially all those kids that lost a Grandpa.

    There’s no law that says FSC has to be passed along. Companies pay what they need to keep the fleet at an acceptable level.

    Nervous newbie

    You don’t need to know what a load pays if you are on flat rate. As long as they pay you the agreed on flat rate, you have no beef. YOU agreed to the flat rate. Fedex tells you upfront that they do not pay you 100%,of the FSC. That’s legal. You agreed to it. If you can’t be profitable, or...

    Cargo Van Any good lease purchase options for CV w/ Panther

    I got 5 likes in less than 24 hours. I think all these people would like to see numbers on an unlimited mileage lease. The most interesting thing is that the 5 likes came from people that have not posted in this thread. If you need help from your partner, get him involved. Who knows, it...

    Nervous newbie

    Kip-it will be way less money than you or I would go for. ES’s business plan is so different than ours, it’s scary. Their cost structure is very different. They need to balance profitability with driver retention. Which go hand in hand. They’re more a volume of miles versus the run less/keep...

    Note: I only suggest this with mixed sex teams. WOM’s “ BACK UP BOYS” brought this omission to my attention.

    The Giants come out looking like New England. Then Eli throws a stupid interception.

    Technically, he said vans, plural, so each van could have had single bunks.
