I wonder if this guy understand that if you deal with the devil (government), you lose any bargaining rights. I wonder if most UAW workers are happy to be going back to work, rather than applying at a Timmy's or Swiss Chalet, as it appears the CAW workers may be doing soon.

Again, you say that while driving a van. We are expected to follow both state and federal laws. If there aren't enough parking spaces, then we have to compromise. If doing so violates state laws, then not doing so violates federal laws, and creates a potential safety hazard. What would YOU suggest?

HEY! Get your pumpkin away from my Werner!

I'm curious as to what you think will happen after the 20th... besides the 21st.

I doubt it with diesel, OVM. Trucks aren't rolling enough to justify prices going up. Just look at the J. It's not so much the price of diesel going down, it's the drop in the volume of trucks that are killing them.

Good advise, Col. Just hope no one has to use it.

Everywhere is talk about governments, from federal to local level, raising taxes. Where has there been ANY talk about governments cutting back their own budgets?

Because we're on a pseudo-dedicated to MS.

Ahhh... now I feel stupid. LOL If MI and OH are that log jammed, why not spend some of that money moving your trucks south or west? Or, they could move to PA and do some runs to the Northeast. But my recommendation would be WI, TN, or the Carolinas. Star... Pilot hotdogs aren't a bad...

To give you the short of it, there is a lot less freight, and MANY trucks fighting over that freight.

Eric... I'd think twice about the pink slip. The way things are now, I think it would be foolish to jump ship, especially to a smaller carrier. I heard today that FXCC bid $150 lower on an already low rate. So, yes, it's THAT bad out here for freight. We're on a $200 ltl from MS to MI, only...

We get pulled into the Franklin, KY scales almost every time now, since they can't read our plate from the front. Last time, the DOT guy asked why we don't have one on the front. I told him MI only issues one, and wants it on the back. He was ok with that.

I agree with everything you said. However, if Obama lowers corporate tax rates for a year or two, at least we can ride the wave for that long. Granted, libs can't stand watching the market succeed. And that's why the cuts won't be a long term thing, IMO.

Dodge... yes, the election will correct the reign of the Dems; but by then the damage will have been done. Layout... how would you rate Reagan - who also had no foreign policy experience? Like I said, only VPs will go in with any experience in that area. Personally, I think Obama is willing...

The only ones who do were vice presidents. Even then, they screw up too (LBJ).

Solomon grundy want bail out too!!!

They always forget Congress, who are the ones who turded and told us it was chocolate. It was their dooky that filled the empty spaces in the box.

To give Obama a little credit, here are a few other presidents who've had no foreign relations experience before taking office: W, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Kennedy, Truman, FDR.

That's usually what happened in the early days of expediting. If an owner had a double bunk, it was usually a makeshift team.

Here's the thing about serialized ammo... it isn't a reality yet. It's like the government saying, "Interstate commerce will have to be done by teleportation by the year 2015." It would be nice if the ones dictating would get off their arses and start researching and producing this fantasy...
