Not trying to make this a political thread, Garmin; but you'd better take a look at who's pulling Obama's strings, if you're sure you want him instead.

I heard this morning that Obama's operatives were soliciting donations at $1000 per ticket for his acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium. Well... the tickets are FREE, and the solicitation was meant to be hush hush. Once word got out, the website shut down. See? Things that are supposed to...

I find everything fine and dandy up until the last sentence. You've never met him??? Equally as important is that he entrusts you with expensive equipment, and has never met you? Frankly, I find this disturbing that two ppl can agree to a contract, yet has never been face to face. It's great...

A lot of smaller carriers are successful, in part, because they're very particular of who they sign on. Thus, they don't advertise. Finding these companies is usually by word of mouth. Sometimes, they find you. Kinda like the mafia. ;)

Usually, the blanket wrap coincides with needing a liftgate. I usually only charge for the liftgate, in that case. But if it didn't, I'd still charge for hand load/unload. I don't have a problem with doing a little work for nothing, but not padding and strapping a whole truck load. Extra care =...

No, but congress made the loan companies offer them, so more minorities could own houses. We see how well that worked out.

The logic is not to give you guys a cookie, or you'll be wanting it all the time. They used to throw extra money at us, if we wouldn't take a load for the going rate; then stopped, obviously because drivers were abusing it. We hear they were giving first outs instead. Now that's being abused...

LOL Jim... when do I get the small third world country to repress? :D BTW, I'm not into fleet ownership. Just a one truck op. Attitude is everything. Look back at how IRT dictated what he WILL do. I know... it's probably big talk on the net. And I responded how I would if he dictated to...

You are. ;)

Suds... if you do what you say, then I wouldn't consider you a steering wheel holder either. I know we have enough of em in this industry tho. Drivers who are happy to be guided by armchair quarterbacks who tell em to call before accepting loads. Frankly, I don't know how they go day to day...

What high horse is that, Jim? I'm pretty liberal about paying my drivers. And if I had a truck that's been out for three months, I'd find em a load home. 500 miles is $250+. Funny how drivers are TELLING owners how to spend their money now. I just find IRT to be somewhat demanding, is all...

Geez, IRT... you have a lot of demands for being a steering wheel holder. Owner would pay for you to go 500 miles to the house? I'd have you sticking your thumb out. To answer your question, JC... it all depends on the company you're signed on with. High fsc and fair dh wouldn't be bad for the...

But Fastrod, do you let them put that much on your van without asking for s/t rate? That would be like me taking 15k on my truck for s/t rate... ain't gonna happen.

If we didn't have to wait two days for a muffler in BFE, UT, we'd have been running constant for two weeks. Beginning of July was terrible for us, to a point. August has never been slow. Looking forward to a great 3rd and 4th quarter.

OVM... that rule has been around for at least 18 months. I think it's one of the most gawd awful rules in expediting today. 8 hrs OOS, or until they need you, or until you've stood in the corner long enough.Puleeze! I'd rather take a spankin, and forgo the timeout.

Do you think this will be a possibility? "What will you do for a mini run?"

A god? Doubt that, unless he parts the swimming pool and walks end to end. A human made for the water? More like it. I was amazed hearing about him winning one gold after he lost his goggles and paced himself blind. That is amazing stuff!

Aristotle... all I can say is Monkey see, Kitty say, Doggie doo. I'm interested to sit on the sidelines and watch how many "less than desirable" loads get taken, or if they reneg on their declaration.

Excuse me? When the Pistons won two years ago, there was nada! Maybe a little mischief, but nothing I'd call a riot. Now, Montreal, on the other hand...
