Advance? What's that? :p

Numb. Just numb. I don't let it bother me, as there's nothing I can do about the price itself. Getting mad does nothing but raise the blood pressure. I kinda just let it happen, like a rape victim who knows what's coming, and is helpless to resist.

I had heard that NLM wants you to have 24 hr dispatch, so you can respond yay or nay to every load. Not something a small operation can deal with.

Yep... I was thinkin the same thing.

It doesn't matter how many he has. What I've been hearing is that gps isn't taking on one truck mom n pop companies anymore. It would be nice if they put criteria on their website tho.

Apparently, it's not against the law to carry a rifle or shotgun in your vehicle, as long as the gun and ammo are in different areas while driving. This came from the Texas DOT cop who's guest on the "ask the DOT" program on Sirius Roaddog 147. I'll check on it to make sure.

I'd like you to find a mainstream carrier who's rates are $1.29/mi for a C-unit, w/o fsc. Nearly every carrier out there, that was also there in '95, has lowered their rates. I don't know if you can compare FXCC to the Roberts of old. They are two technically different animals. I've also...

Nuthin... just ranting.

Yep... ppl have as much right to work as any of us. Even if it's taking work away from us, and they don't need it. Meanwhile, the ppl who choose not to work, and instead collect welfare, also take work away from us because our taxes are higher to support them. What a selfish ppl we've...

What can I say? I like duck with mango salsa. :D

Not to mention that if it were a Christian church where the pastor advocates voting for conservatives, their non-profit status gets threatened.

I'll name my next truck ROI. My current truck is Jenny. (actually it's Mr Truck)

Let's see. Back in 95, the rates were higher, cost of living lower, and miles were higher. So too was the expectation that one could make a living off of 20%, and usually less. Yes, owners could go to hourly. Then you could expect drivers to actually slow down, stop for an hour or two to...

If you're going with one of the smaller companies, check and make sure they have their own trailers. I know C&M does not.

Deregulation and a lot more idiots.

That's cause he doesn't care, as long as he's getting his.

The union doesn't give a crap about anything but the union. The union should be the center of the world. Damm anyone who tries to break the union. Send out the thugs. Burn things, break things, kill ppl. All in the name of the union. Company goes under? Oh well... as long as the union stood...

Why not? The Tundra is made here in the US, unlike the so-called American big threes' cars. When my wife and I bought our Odessey, we picked for the accolades it recieved in everything from crash testing to Car & Driver. Over 70% is made right here. Japanese ingenuity with American muscle...

Jay (Critter) is running a DC rooftop unit with 8 golf cart batteries. The company that set it up said it will last 10 hours before needing to be charged. The truck has a larger alternator than normal. A Webasto takes care of the heat at 1 gal/15 hours. I'm curious to see how well it works.

Would you eat them in a box? Could you eat them with a fox? I would not, could not in a box. I would not, could not with a fox. I cannot eat them, Sam I am. I cannot eat green eggs and ham.
