1930 sounds good to me,by then the Jacksonville Jaguars will have lost to the Dallas Crackboys.

We used to stay out for about a month at a time.Now if we get within 400-500 miles we usually come home.No paricular pattern,a lot depends on where we are and how many trucks are already available in that area.

Nice work Lawrence,I think this is the first Presidential election where both VP candidates appear to be better qualifed. I think GW will win and it won!t be close,if either party has a trump card it will come out this week for sure..

It!s highly unlikely that you would get a position in expediting without a CDL and a Haz/Mat endorsement.All of the expediting companies require that ,even for 1 ton vans.Last week I had 4 trips,3 were Haz/mat loads.It!s not that difficult to obtain the cdl and haz/mat licenses,but you will need...

Last weekend I e mailed contractor relations as to concerns over the new web site,as of today 10/27 no reply.I spoke to a dispatcher on Saturday who told me that all of the lower level management types in operations were aginst this website,but were overuled.The offical line is that if "we don!t...

A friend of mine makes a cash donation to a church that has a large parking lot.He has to have it out on Sunday mornings but other that that it works fine for hime.The church pastor is always happy to get a donation but because of tax reason it can!t be a formal charge as the church is not...

I have a similar problem in the community that I live in.A bunch of old ladies with nothing to do pettioned the town council members to pass an ordinance prohibiting truck parking on the city streets. I pay a Texaco service station guy $25.00 a month to park in his station,I pay whether I am...

Dennis is 100% correct.The main reason for us going to a S Corporation was to minimize liability in case of a accident and resulting lawsuits. The nature of this business can create accidents by having to drive all night,trying to find a address in bad weather,the qualcomm beeping with "running...

My wife and I have been a S Corporation for 7 years,We are both employees of the corporation and drawer equal salaries each month. One advantage to being a S Corporation is that you can have the corporation pay and deduct from the Corp tax return 100% of all medical expenses incurred by the...

Wendy, I have to disagree slightly with you,as my previous post said when you are not engaged in commercial operations and you own the truck you have freedom to utilize the truck as a privately owned vehicle. Several years ago I read about a company that was sending owner operators on long bob...

Lawernce,,I am in 100% agreement with you.Tomorrow I am going to start calling around and see what the corporate response is.. I plan on being at the Dallas show and will certainly be stopping by..

Those of us with Fedex receive a tape cassette 4 times a year called the Contractors news.It!s usually quite condensending but thats another story.This last one had a announcement that Fedex CC has started a load board called www.URGENTFREIGHT.COM. If you look at it is similar to Lawerence!s...

That was just basic "tongue in cheek humor" on trying to get a run.Believe me I don!t touch a drop while on duty.One thing I was told by the Tenn DOT is that it is ok to have or transport alcholic beverages in the truck,provided you have not been dispatched and you own the truck.They told me...

Reefer demand is growing in the expediting market,there seems to be more demand in the winter to keep freight warm than the traditional reefer use.We have stayed out of that market because we basically take it easy in the winter,but thats us,other folks run their wheels off and stay very...
