Listen here. Chelsea is 22 now. She's got a History degree, and advising a hedge fund for $250k a year (go figure). And she's campaigning for Mommy Dearest. I think she's as fair game as one could get! Oh... I hear Buddy the dog starved to death. Apparently, he got tired of steak Chelsea had to...

Sitting in Hudson, WI now. It's coming down at a good click, but not cold enough to accumulate on the road. Starting to get slick out there tho. But tomorrow, it'll be back in the 40s.

Yes there is... yours and mine. :D All four are #1 seeds. Has that ever happened before?

Lou... call Janet Reno. You can just walk out when she shows up and everyone turns to stone. Oh... make sure you cover your eyes! Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Cause Janet Reno is her daddy.

Diva... accepted, and thanx. :)

Definitely down if yer haulin cheap chit! Passed a Swift terminal last night. Nary a parkin spot. Same with JB in Louisville. Bet they're regretting all those charitable contracts, now that they're losing money AND PRESTIGE because of them.

As much as I want to agree with your treason comment, Turtle, I can't. The First Amendment gives the citizens the right to address their grievances. If that were allowed to be quashed, any president wannabe (or Senate dictator) could silence their critics. Oh... it's already happening...

Broom... your words hit home. But let me add this. Reserves come from somewhere. We all hope that when we get into this biz that running would be plentiful enough to fill one's coffers. That often isn't the case. It's not hard to fall on hard times when one has a few $900 weeks to their name...

Pj... if you want to know why some ppl will consistantly run cheap freight, it's because they're STOOPID! Stupid ppl have a hard time in any business. But trucking seems to be a magnet for them. Not much longer tho, as it looks now. MOST shippers pay GOOD bux to move their freight. But...

Other option is the TA in Greenland, NH. Their showers are a lot better. Other than that, there ain't much. Next option would probably be the Pilot in Sturbridge, MA.

Well la-de-da! What do ppl get into business for in the first place? If you said to make a profit, you got the right answer! MOST of us have a house or apartment to pay for. For some of us, it's the only income in our household. The ppl who run for minimum so they can pay for fuel and a couple...

JPalmer... I like your post until you mentioned taking low paying runs. Tell me something. Are you in business to pay for your truck? I'm not. I, like many others, run to make a living. In other words, a job. We're also out here to make a profit. In other words, a business. Some are out here to...

Or doing away with lobbyists altogether. Yes... very good thread, Hedgehog!

Bow Junction has a truckstop with lots of parking and a decent restaurant. But don't get a shower there!

Alright kiddies. Tone it down or yet another thread will be locked faster than you can say Supercalifragilisticexpediterdocious.

Ark... I'm just speculating. This is a "what if" thread; and that's how I'm responding to it. What I do, once I get there, wouldn't be posted in an open forum either. If, by chance, I find the secret recipe, why would I share it with the world? Chuckwagon... if we all had ALL the answers, then...

I see your point that I wasn't clear enough. But at the same time, you could've clarified your claim that I wasn't doing anything for them. My main job is to keep my trucks loaded. But the drivers and contractors would also be expected to know how to find a load. Knowing that it takes a lot...

Yes... you missed something. First off, what do you think ANY company out here does? They give you loads they expect you to take. They take a percentage of the tariff to keep their operations going and load insurance on your truck. Essentially, EVERYONE who drives but doesn't have their own...

Ditto what Jefferson said about doing EVERY job! If and when I get drivers on with my company, they will do the same... driving, dispatching, and salesmen. Find your own load, get a commission. Find a load for me or another driver, get a commission. Find a customer, get a bonus. Whadaya think...

This deal is trouble! You can do better.
