Pack... you talkin bout Luthor Vandross? Mine is Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie. Everytime I hear it, it reminds me of Ice Ice Baby, which makes me cry!!! :'( -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

I don't know... it's 99.44% pure freight? :7 -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

As usual. :) -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Factoring usually charges between 3-5%. While I wouldn't suggest using it all the time, I would have no problem using it: 1)Just starting out with my own authority, and 2)When dealing with LTL brokers who either can't be trusted or take months to get me a check. I believe the J takes 3%. Yes...

Reading this thread made me think back to late Jan/Feb. I was out of the truck for about a month, with my son being born. Then drove for a couple weeks, got a run home and got sick. Two weeks later went out. Got a run home and got sick for another week and a half. Only when it started warming up...

RE: Remember I did the greatest Rock Song of all t Broom... are you talking about our favorite? Cause I don't know what would constitute the Greatest love song, other than how many babies were concieved while said song was playing. LOL Personally, I'm going with Sarah Smile by Hall and Oates...

Phil... I didn't see anyone bring up your name in the conversation. But your statement "You need not be concerned for our well being. We're getting by." makes me curious as to why you ask ppl things you're not prepared to answer yourself. Reminded me of a comic some months back.

Col... my experiences with what I posted were years ago. I don't now, nor would I ever go there again. You know Cal doesn't pull that crap. However, I hear of it happening from drivers. Everything from constant all-day minis to 8 hours off the board for turn downs to company presidents telling...

So... does anyone have a hunch who will win the World Series of Poker's main event this year? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Ok... someone's been watching the Simpsons! :D -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

You're not getting what I'm saying, Louixo. I'm not blaming anyone here. But the companies and dispatchers have this "here's something that's better than nothing" attitude. I'm just stating that I can see where they get this view from. A lot of ppl are happy getting any load handed to them. What...

No excuse for that. It's a felony in my book too. Any action that is malicious and intended to cripple a player should be treated as a criminal act. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

"You aren't being realistic" huh? What the heck do they think we're out here for? Our amusement? Because we have nothing better to do? But the very fact that a lot of ppl in this industry, and trucking in general, have that "it's better than nothing" attitude. And that is why we're expected to...

And companies will put in their contracts that they can end the relationship if you don't kiss their butt. By putting that clause in the contract, they can do what they want for any reason. Just as you can end the contract because you don't like the color of your dispatcher's hair. -Vampire...

I'm assuming you live in Ohio. What kind of work do you do? Are you an expediter thru the 48? Or are you a local Ohio driver who occasionally goes into Michigan? Did Michigan tell you which tax code you have to abide by? If not, find out. When you know which one, find out from your company. Or...

Col... if you haven't read the OOIDA article on hot fuel, I suggest you do. The companies whining about fitting the pumps have already made a ton of TAX FREE money off the hot fuel already sold. Any hike in prices from the refit would be nothing but another unsubstantiated excuse. -Vampire...

I doubt it would have any ramifications to someone who trully treats their contractors as contractors. However, it could be he11 to companies that demand their contractors take every run, no matter what. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

What size inverter do you use? Is it enough for the job? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Do we know of any truckstop chains who have installed the regulators voluntarily? If not, then we can't just avoid those who don't. As far as using heaters on their tanks, that's fraud. But some still do it. How do we know who does it? And you know in the winter we'd never get 40 deg fuel...
