    Software for Fleet Owners

    We use Microsoft Excel. Easy to use. Also it is the same software that our carrier and accountant use so transfer of information is very streamline.

    Mr. President Reagan

    Very true. Obama is all for this tax while Romney said he would eliminate it. Democrats act that it is against big business but the family farm is who will get shafted with this tax. Most farmers aren't going to be able to pay it so they likely will get bought out by corporate farms.

    I don't have any vans but that would be my assumption. Straights and tractors would be different.

    Mr. President Reagan

    If your concern is the farm or farmers, better vote for Romney. Farmers are some of the first to feel the impact of a devalued dollar. Keep a president that is bent on spending and printing money, guess who gets hurt the quickest? That dollar only has a value of .80 cents. That is why gas, food...

    Abortion-should she have gotten the dealth penalty

    I think you did a better job of explaining my position better than I did. It just isn't a function of government for people to feel comfy.

    I can help with the first part but can't do much with the second. :cool:

    I always think there is a little bit of both. Some owners are ripoff artists and do everything possible to jerk the driver around. On the other side, there are new drivers without a commercial drivers license that expect the owner to provide a new truck with a large sleeper, make at least 100k...

    Romney held in disdain in his home state

    I think dollars control both parties so I wouldn't exempt Romney or Obama from that. Either way, either party will have to create a climate that promotes business. Right now, I don't see the democrats having the will to do that. Their answer the last four years is basically to borrow our way...

    Abortion-should she have gotten the dealth penalty

    The government is not designed to be all things to all people. Using substitutions for society's lack of personal responsibility is not a good thing. At no point when these things weren't provided did we have people lying in the street.

    Romney held in disdain in his home state

    All valid points, but business is made of investors at all levels. Their function to remain viable is to turn a profit. Sorry, but that is how it is. Since government needs business for revenue, you better have a way of attracting them. Even more so if as a government you are borrowing 40...

    Romney held in disdain in his home state

    Some of it is repetitive but government can't survive without business. When government tries to create business, it is a disaster. Green jobs, amtrak, postal service, and the list goes on. In a global economy you have to cater to some degree business or they just move the jobs overseas. You...

    Thats true. I think some get forced in to that thinking when they are under capitalized, have a truck sitting and can't make the payments if the truck was financed. Often times this is where the hemorrhaging starts.

    It can happen but it has been quite some time. We don't do much hiring and when we do, the likely team is going to come from existing drivers. Being around for awhile helps as it is a distinct advantage over someone with no reputation or just starting out. Very tough right now on a new startup...

    It really just comes down to who is better equipped to slow the outrageous spending down. Everything else flows from that or is nothing but small distractions.

    There is only a shortage of "good" drivers. Too many out of work currently that will keep the door open. The new CVSA madness only promotes more inexperienced people on the road for lack of a record. The wave of foreigners will continue to increase as we let more in and they are willing to work...

    Romney held in disdain in his home state

    Well, the last four years have been a train wreck with Obama and I see little with a Obama vote that the next four years won't be a duplicate.

    Abortion-should she have gotten the dealth penalty

    So.....are you saying it is ok for the government to force that decision on the ones that don't have that belief? I believe Hobby Lobby is or will be suing over the same thing. My personal opinion with all the problems that exist, the government shouldn't even be involved in contraception...

    Considering the choices, that is probably the best way to look at it.

    Better explain that to the Catholics as they are suing over being forced to pay for contraception coverage.

    I believe the government just wants them to pay for it.
