I have to ask, have you actually talked to the carriers to see if they are taking on any new contractors and have you actually taken the 'right' steps to setup your business first?

I don't see what foreign aid has to do with domestic problems.

You assume right. I have been solo for a long time. So here is the issues that I have seen in the past and it has been confirmed by one of the largest carriers we have around; 1 - team freight isn't about distance as many want to make it out as, but the carrier 2 - a carrier likes team...

Yep sure does, thanks.

BUT see OVM, you miss the point. First to me this is not about the WHOLE industry, just a very teeny tiny microscopic part of it. BUT not to say it is a bad thing, it isn't at all. But with that said ... If voting is so critical, than some established method needs to be used. Here the...

So a van getting a dollar is all good and well but shouldn't straight trucks get at least a $1.65 because of the cost seems to be about 65% higher?

Layout, You have to ask yourself this about the middle east. With the money we dump there, and the lack of influence we actually have with those countries who get our money, isn't about time we actually examine what outcomes we have had there with the money we dumped there? For example...

Really? I didn't know that. Maybe I should have taken that advice a long time ago.

OK so here is another take. Other industries limit the age of the person working, once that age is reached, then they retire. Commercial Pilots, Cops, Firefighters are among those who are limited by age. When we look at the trucking industry, we tend to forget that age has a lot of problems...

Well first dave, it isn't about taking away from honoring anyone, it is about how to vote for those who are being honored. The system is simple - you participate in EO, you have a vote. NO BS, no drivers license checks just plain old participation. BUT with that said, it is truly was about...

Golf, Can you explain what you meant by the trucking industry was coming out of regulation? I thought that didn't start under Carter until 1978, or was this a different thing?

The only problem I can see with this is the idea that we are buying friends overseas, I don't think we are buying anything especially friends. IF Foreign Aid directly benefits US citizens within the borders, then that's ok, but can anyone tell me where it would or is directly benefiting US...

Hey Layout, we are the only ones to blame for allowing them to take anything from us. NO one has been king or queen here since 1783, so the blame sits on our shoulders.

I understand what you had in mind in the first place but my point is that many times those 'great' bonuses that companies offer don't attract the people they think they will attract. NOT what you are offering, but panther. There seems to be a copy cat mentality, going back to the "no forced...

IF he had a real hand in this, then maybe it is time to talk about impeachment. Maybe the republican congress can also force the issue by talking about revoking the DNC's charter.

See Layout, I equate those who demand social security as the same as those who demand to stay on the welfare rolls. Regardless how you look at it, it is a true form of slavery, nothing less. BUT here is one solution that can work if we want it to. Let's just say we actually admit that Social...

Nope not a racist term, it can be applied to any person regardless of race or gender. It just isn't a nice term and came from Detroit.

John, A lot of people will think this is nuts but many of us who are actually really serious about treating this as a business do not give a crap about signing bonuses or rewards. For many of us, our reward is getting consistent work, having the freedom to treat this as a business and having...

Not surprisingly the answer is not really.

Being realisitic, there is no obligation to get money out of social security that was paid into the system. This was decided a long time ago, nullifying any government obligation that FDR sold the public on. We are not talking about military retirees, people who work in intel or anything...
