Only when he's online - otherwise, he's just an ox moron. :D

If ratings are limited to folks who actually drove for an owner, it'd be a good resource with good info. [We can pretty much tell who is leaving pertinent facts out by now, lol.] My concern is with people who have an agenda, and will recruit 'help' to reinforce their statements - easy to do with...

Flat tire, OVM? Not a good example - could easily be the driver's fault, same as many breakdowns, and the customer should not pay for that.

Is what happens when access to low/no cost contraception is reduced. Keep defunding Planned Parenthood, the poor and ignorant will keep reproducing. :mad:

Protagoras lost. Socrates used his [Protagoras] own argument to prove Protagoras wrong in the belief that truth is subjective, or different for different people. Socrates was often a smartaZZ like that. :D And: Just because Mr Popogopolus looks like Mr Green, and owns the gun, does not make Mrs...

Awww - it is soooo hard to lose the wonderful companions we love. I lost my Pug/Boston terrier just before I signed on with Load 1, and I miss her goofy face every day, still. I'm still feeling like I don't wanna go through this again, but I know others handle it differently - do you think you...

Jdevits explained in a nutshell: Having a contract means nothing - enforcing it is paramount. If the driver hasn't got the tools [knowledge, commitment, and money] to enforce the provisions of his contract, it is worth nothing. It's like having a check for big bucks that no one will cash - you...

Why do we speak louder to someone who doesn't speak our language? Why do we push the elevator button repeatedly when we know it makes no difference? Why do we push the "crosswalk" button at all? :D

Thanks to Slacktide for posting the link to the full regs. I have the 'little green book' and use it often, but it doesn't have Part 49, only the safety regs.

Facts never ruin an argument with folks who refuse to believe them. :rolleyes:

AMonger: truckstops have ALWAYS been a place for panhandlers, bums, and the temporarily down on their luck to beg, because truckers are known to be kindhearted, and [prior to EZ pass and fuel cards] often carrying large amounts of cash. "The poor will always be with us" [and the worthless bums...

Lugnut & Dakota can live by their rules, but Jdevits sounds like an honest and fair owner to me. I've never felt a contract is necessary if owner and driver are both trustworthy people who understand that each party benefits when the other party benefits. PS I always wondered: do the folks who...

Walmart somewhere between Saginaw & Flint. Delivered Sat in Oscoda, Mi, woke up at a Walmart directly across the road from the lake - really nice area. Running south on 23, I saw more than one beach with a parking lot I could have got into - next time, I'll stop & go jump in the lake. ;) Picking...

Hawk: you're right: balanced was the wrong word. Maybe 'furthered' is better? Whoever said it's like a pendulum was correct: it goes too far to one side, then the other, when what we need is more centrist. All the division between L/R, D/R doesn't do anything but make it worse. And the obscene...
