Bingo! No excuse for breaking the rules if they thought they were justified. What they did was wrong. I applaude them because the drug dealer was more wrong.

PJ... I got mixed up between Mike's 1.15 and the Col's .90. LOL Col... I agree about the employee mentality. Yes, .90 and 1.15 is a big difference. I see where you got the .90. What I'm saying tho is that if you don't stick to your guns, you get what the company is giving. IMO, that's more...

No, but I can show you a truck and a family that costs more than .90/mi. If we're just out here to make a truck payment and eat hot dogs, then what is the meaning of life? :confused: Mike99 is probably fed 1500 miles a week, if that. If he says yes to those runs, they'll feed him more mac n...

It's called "spreading the wealth", Cheri. Remember Joe the plummer getting that out of him? What do you really think that meant? And as far as the "giveaway" you talk about the rich getting, why shouldn't ppl be able to keep what they earn? Why should the government take it from us? The more...

Same chance a homeless guy can eat if he had a job paying 1.00 an hour. Doesn't make it right tho.

That would depend on who you run for. With my last company, I'd immediately head to SC, as they were excellent for getting freight out of the Carolinas. They were ok for loads out of Atlanta. Other companies are just the opposite. Maybe tell us what company you're with, and another driver from...

I see what the Col is saying about it being a gift load. It's a holiday, and it makes you money when you're probably not going to make any today. However, I think you did the right thing. Going 500 miles into FL at what used to be normal rate is iffy. Going there at 90 cents is asking for...

Then it's time for you to become a free agent. :)

Bravo, Bush!

Don't get me wrong, OVM... I love Canada. But hypocrisy goes both ways in the political world. It's full of imperfect countries telling other imperfect countries how to be perfect; whether it's the US telling Iraq, or Europe telling the US. Frankly, I think they're all full of Shiites. :D

Your country has a queen, and WE'RE obsolete? :rolleyes: ;) It's not about what the ppl want; it's about what the Constitution SAYS. If the Constitution were followed throughout our history, we wouldn't have the problems we do today. Every president after Woodrow Wilson (with the exception of...

And if it doesn't, you're SOL, right? That argument has gone round n round many times. Everyone will do it their way. I think in this environment, those who take every load are due to fail, if half of those loads are el cheapo. Guess it depends on your situation, whether you can micromanage...

Are you back in the biz, KW? Good to see you posting again. Welcome your insight on this mess. Nope... couldn't survive. That's why I'm doing what I am.

Actually, your solutions are what kills entrepreneurship. The free market, with minor regulation, is what will keep the industry going. The ones who can handle the weather will be kings when the economy recovers. Most of who fails were never meant to be in business. Others who fail will be...

If that were the case, Jefferson3000 would be ticketed for being overweight empty, all the time.:confused:

I disagree. Those with mental or physical disabilities that make them unable to function at any job should be taken care of - especially disabled military. Other than that, I agree... welfare should be temporary in nature for everyone else. There is NO risk/reward for those on welfare. Everyone...

If you're running 81N to 95N, or 95S to 81S, here's a nice little shortie I use to get aroud DC... Take 7 east (south) to US340 east (north) to Frederick, MD, and jump on 70E there. Smooth ride, few lights, and 4 lanes except in WV. At night there's very little traffic. Beats taking 81 all the...

Because SOME small companies know how to move their trucks as well, if not better, than the bigger companies. IMO, any company that has an unwritten policy of moving trucks out, but not back, has some lazy ppl in the head chair.

DOH! How many paperboys do you know who own a fleet of Huffys and Schwinns? :rolleyes:
