Joe, Just to be clear, I do care. I have been so ripped about asking others here to help out that I have been turned off with a bunch of people here over this issue. With that said. I have in the past and continue to help out when I can. I used to go out of service (sacrifice money) to go...

So what is different? They load the truck, strap it all down and drive - no different. They don't calculate rates, they don't apply for permits, they don't do a lot of anything except provide more labor for the load - opps, maybe that's a secret? Brisco, I'm puzzled. I wonder what is it...

You know what, I don't want any thing special for any one person regardless what they do. I want these idiots to stop messing around and actually pass a budget. We deserve to deal with any "shutdown" as a whole country, not with one or two groups being paid money that we don't have - which...

By the way, Phil or Diane has never snubbed me when I seen them.

What were the routing problems? Were they hazmat or bridge height related?

Steve, Welcome. I wonder if you would like to fill us in on your qualifications and experience in more detail. AND how do you see the forum as? Meaning if you expect to see things beyond trucking financing like how to handle everyday expenses or how to deal with business planning?

Actually Diva, it isn't FedEx or Phil for that matter, it is what a lot of people see as a problem - no one strives for better customer service with each run they take. NOR is it about taking their trash away, I can't see dealing with ten pallets and a whole bunch of shrink wrap to be disposed...

I agree it is insane, every administration since Nixon has been saying pretty much the same thing and we are letting not just the politicians get away with it but those who are creating these green companies to cash in. What Volt sales? I heard yesterday that they may cut production for Pole...

Well the way you all are putting it, it is like an inconvenience to do something that may be good customer service. We are not talking about a garbage truck full of stuff, but two pallets. See Dale, I look at White Glove people as the elite of the fleet and I would, as some do at FedEx...

Dale, I was snubbed a lot by my FedEx WG collegues, it seems they don't like many who don't wear purple. Only once with a van driver, and that was because he was p*ssed off at the world. It reminded me of my time in Jackson Hole, parked at the Starbucks between a couple Prevosts and had to...

Yes it is capitalism, it is exactly what capitalism is all about - you have one thing, I need it and I have to meet your price or don't get it. There is no artificial inflating of prices, you don't understand the market nor understand what drive the market. Massive oil speculation? Yes, it...

Xiggi, I understand your point, I stopped listening to him because of the repetitiveness of the message he was trying to make, it was like I am sitting in a scene in Orwell's 1984 and hearing something over and over and over and over and over ... so I started to feel talked down to. This...

Yes it is a mess, maybe if we would get a chance to scrap the entire idea we need perfectly clean diesels, than life would be better in the long run.

Well Brisco, I don't know about you but for me and my customers it is easy. I get paid and they get me and my truck. Labor isn't free, it is paid for. They are not asking me to paint the place or sweep up but to do a job for them. What is related to that job and I can do for them, I try to do...

Honestly, there is nothing that can be done with it and we are all at the mercy of the world oil market. I would fight too, I think government has to be out of the finance industry almost altogether and allow the market and system work. The safeguards should be simple, if at all in regulations...

Of course he's not going away, just because he is ending his show at the end of the year doesn't mean much. His production company and Fox have been negotiating another deal, so maybe he will stay there or do something more fantastic for Beck fans like Witness.

Maybe the best of both worlds is a sprinter chassis under 10k with a nice box on the back ... I have seen a couple out there.

No not at all, I think it is a great idea that you have and it is a great solution to a problem a few have but the problem that may be a pitfall is payroll taxes and the other federal taxes and how it all works, which a person like an EA or an Accountant who knows how to set this up quickly will...

Well First it isn't a crisis that just happened, it happened in October of 2010. Second it doesn't matter, everyone will be paid but the pay is delayed. It happens to the citizens and no one is special enough to be above a citizen. However I feel for those who do have to struggle. Third, the...

I think Supreme is a good choice, but personally I would not buy a GM chassis. I would ask them what the weight of the body is and give Unicell a call to see if it is less weight, I think they may be close to the same.
