I agree with Turtle, for the most part. I wouldn't say logging, scaling, and parking issues for staights even things out with vans. Most of the time those things don't even come into play. The once or twice a year I get pulled into a scale only takes up an hour or so total. Parking... not as...

Not so, Col. Jay and I made it a point to hand out cookies (business cards) when things looked potential. There was more than one time where we chatted with office ppl about what you had to offer. Just because you don't hear about it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Thib... I envy you! You...

Ask the military about that one. Randoms DO work! Maybe not as much in the trucking industry, because of a smaller ratio that gets tested. But I'm sure drivers get popped for speed all the time, as well as weed. We just don't hear about them. In the military, word spreads like wildfire. In...

Not so much what he did after 911; but what he accomplished before. He cleaned up Times Square under much protest. You can actually visit there without being bombarded by sex shops and such. He got the ppl behind him to clean up the streets. A city-wide effort to get rid of graffiti, filth, etc...

1) Fred Thompson... what you see is what you get; which is classic, southern wisdom. He's the Constitutionalist of the Republicans. His philosophy is simple... get the federal government out of babysitting, and get them back to what the Constitution dictated. 2) Mit Romney... a very frank and...

Star... how did you find out? Actually, it took prime rib! :D

I have to agree. As long as you have a steady income, stay with it. Save as much as you can before diving into expediting. I wouldn't go as far as staying with an owner for a year; but if you're making excellent money with a fleet owner who has pull with his company, sure... stay put and make...

Yes you are! Huckabee is the most lib of the bunch. Getting ready for more tax and spend welfare loving if he gets in. IMO, little difference between him and B.Hussein Obama.

I'm surprised Jayman hasn't shown up. I haven't seen him post in awhile. Any Skins fans out there wantin to talk trash with the Hawkman? I'ma waitin! ;)

Do NOT lease-purchase from JB, or any other big truck company out there!!! My advice is to find someone with a "take over payments" deal on the kind of truck you want. Call to find out how much the payments are, and how long is left on the note. Then, call some insurance companies, and ask...

Curious as to who's team is in the playoffs. Those who play in the first round, how do you think your team matches up? I feel badly for Browns fans not making it. If anyone can understand the frustration of the Lions' fans, it's Browns' fans. But you have to get it done when you're in control...

Too much, and we'll go the way of... USSR China Cuba Venezuala Vietnam You get the idea. Too much greed by the big-wigs, and too much pampering of the big corps usually turns into a revolution. Unfortunately, not the kind we want.

Companies had to deal with high prices before deregulation. Now, they have to deal with high fuel prices. We're not a charity out here. Customers have had the benefits of low-ball prices since the 80s. It's about time shipping prices caught up with inflation. Right now, it's just hanging loose...

A note on #2: Ever hear of "bad gas"? That's usually what it amounts to... the sludge being stirred up by tankers. On #1: We can't always dictate when we fill up. I almost always fill up in the evening or night, cause that's when I'm usually running. Yes, this bit of info is more suited...

Exactly, Fastrod! Who would accept a job paying $13.00/hr, but subject to change? Contractors take what otherwise might be a bad run because the fsc is decent. Then they pull the fsc and hope the contractor doesn't notice? Shady, to say the least. Yes... the company is the one accepting no...

I was thinking close to the same thing. Farmers can't be wishy washy. Either they plant, or they don't. Not much room to change their minds. A strike would definitely send a message to the country; but at the same time, starve the farmer and his family. At least they have the smarts to have some...

It does... but I can't go into detail. ;)

Good deal!!! Only mentioned that because I had a few phone numbers I could've saved. No harm no foul :) Diva... not overly funny. :p

Ditto. Woulda been good to have a heads up.
