What - you thought WE know 'what women want'? :eek: Actually, it's easy: they want the same thing as men - which is a different thing depending on which one you ask, what day it is, what time it is, etc. Lumping half the human race into one behavioral pattern or another is the first mistake...

Leo: Please post an update when you can, we'd like to hear that the vet & his dog are together again, however it happens.

Good point^^. Keep your ear to the ground, reading 'between the lines' to avoid the carriers that cater to teams, and fleet owners - unless you drive for a fleet owner, of course. :)

I think it depends on your definition of 'success', as it doesn't mean the same thing to everyone - but for the majority of people, the answer is yes, success can be attained by a solo. :)

The only message we should want to send is 'professional', right? We wouldn't even consider wearing a t shirt with a controversial statement in the presence of a customer, and the vehicle is as much a representative of the carrier as the driver. Magnetic 'decals' are fine - until you forget...

Ensuring that drivers employed to drive the carrier's T/Ts are qualified to do it safely is what you consider being "charitable"? Cutting corners [on safety issues!] to earn a profit is expected? It's clear that you will continue to defend anything a company does in pursuit of profit, and...

You're right: 'everything' never happens, lol. What I meant was the basics [experience, knowledge, time spent driving over the road] that so many lack. Some lack even comprehension of how much they don't know, yet they're ready to buy a truck, first thing. :eek: I think your chances of success...

Welcome! It's good to hear from people who have everything required to succeed already covered, lol. :)

AM: I've done that, too - sometimes I wonder how many gawdawful loads are accepted due to drowsiness, lol. I console myself with the eternal verity 'it could always be worse' - like say, .....um....well, there must be worse places, I just can't think of one at the moment. Wait - you have power...

I missed the chance of a lifetime by not marrying a guy whose last name is Derryberry. :D

Leo, if you haven't yet, go to the OR website - there is an application for pet transport, and if that takes too long, try calling 682 622 1172. There are also links to Pilotsnpaws.org and ARF [animalrescueflights.org] Both are private pilots groups who do pet transfers - and trust them to...
