Ateam... you're right on with most things. However, when you say learn from others' mistakes, that might be fine as far as finding out where to get your oil changed, or where not to eat. That kind of "book smarts" is not the same as "street smarts" that only learning on the fly can provide...

>Hey T-Hawk how will we handle the up coming recession if the >rate of inflation increases dramatically as also predicted? I don't know. Cross your fingers, maybe? ;) -True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

If you're thinking about getting into expediting, here's something to ponder. You WILL be at a HUGE disadvantage while you're learning. Moreso than in the past. Not only are you dealing with inexperience, but you're dealing with rising fuel prices and a stalling economy. Most likely, you have...

I have an idea! All the van drivers stay home, let the straight trucks take all the freight. Then the truck drivers can give the van drivers 75% of their profits. Sorry... that wasn't my idea. It was Hillary's! :P -True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

...keeping Hillary out of office, so I don't have to move to Canada. -True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

If that's the case, Leo, then Cal chooses to be blind to his own party's dealings. The word sheeple comes to mind. -True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

Actually, the research done showed a LOT more democrats in office were corrupt than republicans. That, of course, corresponded to the fact there were a lot more democrats than republicans in Congress in the last 50 yrs or so. My problem with it all is that Congress is supposed to clean its own...

Maybe mudslinging is the wrong word. What's the word for blowing something out of proportion for political gain? -True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

Right on, Pappy! -True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

You're right, Leo. Appearances are everything. Regardless of what he feels or believes, the public perception shows him as being unpatriotic. He knows better, being a politician. Unless, of course, he's trying to get the "hate America" crowd away from Her Thighness. -True independence can only...

C&M does that also. But to their credit, it sometimes comes out to the better. Sometimes they route me along smaller highways, and sometimes straight interstates, which I can cut those routes short by taking smaller highways. The miles all depends on who the customer is (broker), and which...

Ticky-tack if you ask me about speeding. OMG you started moving the truck without your seatbelt on! You owe me your life and your first born! Ppl like that made this country into the sh*thole of litigation it is today! -True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

I'm assuming you mean time that you're away from home and involved with the truck in one way or another. This week it'll be around 30% of my "away from home" time is either moving to pick up a load or being loaded. If the rest of the day and tomorrow go by without a load, that number will go...

RE: U.S. Economy to "Slow Noticeably" in Fourth Qu Where's this guy been? The "fourth quarter" started 3 quarters ago. Does he mean noticable like you notice a train is coming from a mile away; or that the train is on top of you ready to smush your car? Frankly, ya gotta just keep doing what...

Kitna may be the real deal? Him and the recieving corp have been the only bright spot on the team the last few years. Bout time the D is coming around, and now Kevin Jones is back and taking pressure off of Kitna. Yes... IF they keep the momentum going, they'll make the playoffs. About my...

Here's my post for the day... Esther- Who you callin ugly, sucka? Fred- I'm callin you ugly! I could stick your face in some dough, and make some gorilla cookies!

Detroit is hit and miss for me. Sometimes I end up sitting at home nearly a week more than I wanted to. Sometimes they get me out the day I go back on the board. This week was weird. They actually called me before I wanted to go back on the board. Rather than risking sitting until Wed or Thurs...

RE: Tired of everyone going Moot, you're a riot! :7 BTW... do you like whole wheat croutons? I don't usually like em, but for some reason I love Outback's. Which reminds me... they got rid of their Wasabi salad. Man that was good... wish they'd bring it back! Almost forgot. I wish they'd make...

OVM... hate to tell ya, but a lot of companies are at 50mph. We had a load from Jung once that was 55 avg. But you and Turtle are correct. If I can't get it there safely in the time they want it, I turn it down. Freight is freight, but dead is dead. And I'm not dying for freight. -True...
