One thing I forgot to mention about the strike. Notice that it's coming at an all-time high in fuel prices? The truckers are organizing this strike not because of those prices, per se; but because they've been complacent in what they've been getting since deregulation. Now it's coming back to...

You're right, Fall. Tho I was basing things primarily on brokers, the companies do it too. It doesn't surprise me one bit that they're paid $700+ for a 400 mile run and give you a buck a mile. They seem bent on this notion that you NEED X amount of money, and no more. Sorry... it's not your...

Rlent... let me clarify some things for you, since what I've said appeared in your post. First, I agree that MOST Muslims are here for purely legitamate reasons. Ok... it's not the most we're talking about. Would you be surprised that 85% of Arabs in the US think suicide bombing should never...

Open mouth, insert foot. :D

CharlesD, you hit the nail SQUARELY on the head! I'm sitting here boiling at the first half dozen posts that the issue is not about fuel or lack of freight; it's about getting torched by the very ppl we get our loads from. Many on here have an opinion of what freight pays based on what they are...

So did Johnny Cash.

Only thing I saw sitting on the side of 40 were in the ditch. Trucks were moving good on US-70, which is visible from 40; but we dare not try to get off. It was that bad! If anything, it was my nephew's first good test. He passed. :)

A couple years ago, we hit a similar ice storm that went from Dallas to Memphis and beyond. The worst of it was in AR, where their only snow removal equipment were bulldozers. Needless to say, the worst accident I'd ever seen was going westbound that night. Traffic slowed ot 5mph or less when we...

Greg... since Leo mentioned a message to the admin containing profanity, I'll let you guess who banned him. ;) No... mods cannot ban anyone. It takes a stronger hand.

Rlent... If you can't see the difference between a few crackpots and an extreme sect of a religion that wants to obliterate all who don't agree with them, then I don't know what else to say. Ark... if it were a woman thing, I'd have no problem with it. The fact is that if Pentacostal women...

This one from FOX news: FOXNews.com - Not Everyone on Campus Agrees with Harvard's Trial Women-Only Gym Hours to Accommodate Muslims - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News BOSTON — In a test of Harvard's famed open-mindedness, the university has banned men from one of its gyms...

What's their excuse with diesel being $.60 more than gas? It certainly isn't supply and demand!

My 1 yr old is a December baby. Nuff said! :D

And they're wrong for that, ALSO! Hey Walmart! Don't go catering to the flavor of the day, then wave the American flag in MY face, thank you!

Very simple. Because it's better that Walmart doesn't want to pizz Arabs off. They could care less about other ethnicities who will be back, more or less, to buy their crap. The prevailing attitude of the West is that it's better to stroke the Arab community, to keep them purring; rather than...

With Spring, we see the rise of freight. Spring is a time for birth and rebirth. Time to be REBORN!!!

Makes me wish we could charge the government under the monopoly rules; and charge Congress under RICO. Of course we can't, as they've written laws that protects themselves. Uggh... the irony!!!

Already boycott GM... and Ford, and Chrysler. Honda all the way! Maybe Toyota if we get an actual car, and not a minivan.

Trust but verify!

GOODY!!! An extra hour of daylight drive time! :)
