I would say my sister is a liberal-conservative. She says she's fiscally conservative, and that government shouldn't take as much as it is. But she thinks ppl should be taken care of. Ppl like that think money is printed up for just such an occasion. Wow! I forgot they just DID that!!! Moving...

Conservatively socialist? Is that like being a vegetarian carnivore? Or kosher bacon? We are turning more and more socialist because Americans, for the large part, are tired of taking care of themselves, and want government to do it for them. A major reason for that is the yoot grajutating...

Don't worry bout him. He knows which road he's on, and he's not about to detour his way of thinkin.

Bingo!!! Bet they'd find out more if they checked the camera. Either the cashier is an idiot or a thief. Either way, she shouldn't be working around money.

Can't get any bigger than what he's got now... a T/T. Maybe he's going to pilot their new mothership. Is FXCC trying to get customers from the Crab Nebula? Better check your skivies for Klingons! :D

That should be up to dispatch to get the info BEFORE you start twiddling your thumbs, IMO.

Not Gloria's. I heard hers went to her knees. ;)

You have to do what is right for YOUR family. If you truly cannot find anything to support them in StLouis, then you'll either have to pick up and move, or go to find something away from them. If the jobs aren't where you are, then go to where the jobs are. That was a common occurrence during...

He said it, not me. :D

I don't agree with it. If your truck breaks down, and the owner doesn't have the money, you're out of a job, right? It IS your problem if he can't pay you. Depends on why the owner doesn't have the money in the first place. If he likes his nose candy, it is your problem. If he loves to play the...

Personally, you make sure you and your truck look professional. Business-wise, that's between you and the owner. 40% of what? If the truck is only grossing 60% of 1.50, for example, then you would get .36/mi. That's low. But if the truck grosses 75% of 1.75, you would get .525/mi. That's a lot...

That's why I take the 20% off the top for the company. It's all a word game. If you tell the co-driver he'll get 16%, in his mind, that's less than the 20% his friend at Panther is making. If you tell him he'll get 20% of the truck gross (80%), he's making the same % as his friend. Some can't...

Yes, the lack of any other pay mentioned makes me wonder too. But tell me a company that pays 1.25 to 1.50 before FSC. I think the .25-.30 is a good start... especially if the company gives 1.12 rate for their "special" customers, or likes to put van freight (along with van rate) on bigger trucks.

He said he'll be a co-driver, which means 20%. 20% of 1.25 is .25. So that doesn't sound cheap to me. And yes... you need to get details on other pay as well, as was mentioned.

Nishiki Premium Brown. They have it at Walmart and Meijer's, among others.

Now you talk about the company cutting rates and not caring about the truck; and in the same breath you basically say you don't care about the owner by ignoring him asking you to fuel at TA. There's a lot of not caring goin on around here. But yet, there is no other than your carrier, right...

There are a number of variables. First and foremost is what the owner gets for freight. If he is consistently getting NLM freight for 1.50 or less, you should want a higher percentage, a minimum per mile, or a flat rate across the board. I don't recommend the last, as it doesn't give many...

My wife got a microwave rice cooker, and it made the best rice the other night. I'm partial to Japanese rice, as it's nuttier than traditional brown rice, and has a lot of flavor, unlike white rice.

Unlike you, I trust Obama. I trust him to raise our taxes. I trust him to make our military. I trust him to encourage ppl to be lazy and live off welfare. I trust him to keep public schools pumping out stupid zombies. I trust him to nationalize industry. I trust him to stifle profit and...

You're in a prison where they serve only mush and spam; but the inmates have to vote for what they want. You dislike spam, but you despise mush. One day, they add cheesy broccoli to the menu you vote on. To you, cheesy broccoli would bring a nice change, and you really like it. But you're afraid...
