BUT Layout, I am not talking about the rates you get, it is the rates that are quoted to the customer. How many loads that should go to W/G trucks end up to surface trucks or even go outside the system? Can't tell because no one really knows. Your revenue may be up, which is a good thing...

So ... with all the BS about NYC and the Mosque, who is supporting the right to build a house of worship regardless where it is? Is it that we need to cover all religions or as several have put it - we are a Christian Nation and need to stick to that no matter what?

Dave, I think this needs to have an * next to that. A number of loads from the board(s) seem to come from outside the agent system (meaning a bid board) and a few are repeats of the same load with different rates.

Actually McCrystal was forced to resign his post, not his rank or his career. He only lost his post, and nothing else. He is retiring but I think a lot of this has to do with the fact he was tired of the BS with the new CiC and the VP who thinks he is an expert on military affairs. There are a...

What a great company line. Why are they worried about competition with expedite freight when they are a package carrier? I mean WOW! talk about pulling the plug on all these ideas that the rates are going up as the economy "improves". When the largest company in the group is dropping their...

In the banking industry, they are required to keep records for a while (over 3 years), T-chek should fall under the same rules. I don't see the big deal, get into the habit of printing them off every month or so, or incorporating them into your software (old cut and paste method) or OMG you...

From some guy at Mobile-Exxon at their R&D lab; "do you seriously think we wouldn't be adding this stuff to our oil if it was worth anything?" He explained the MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars that the company spends on research of oil products, and still they spend millions on research of...

Today we have this thing called Helicopter Parenting. Hooving around and above the kids so they are protected and/or learn. A lot of times the parents are living their childhood through their kids. I honeslty think they either teach it to insecure people or it is part of the drugs they take to...

Pjjj, When you imply wages, it is a fix costs which is alright to think that way but unrealistic in the long run because of the flexibility needed in this business. The employee factor seems to come in as a carry over from working for someone else and that gets people into trouble, it is better...

I think there is more hype than reality with CSA2010. I don't expect this mass exodus in this industry with CSA2010 as some are talking about and I surely don't see the massive increase in rates caused by a "lack of drivers".

Yea I know about that Pjjjj. It is like explaining to a 76 year old man why his computer is slow.

I get what you are saying. I am taking this entire business at a different approach for a number of reasons and it seems to work out well on the management end. I have applied it to another owner's fleet and it is working great there but that's another story in itself. The one issue about...

Well once upon a time I sat in a meeting where they were asking about 24.7 support. Not that we really needed it, but it was silly for a number of reasons. one was we work with data and not patients and that data takes three years to filter through to the FDA, so what is the hurry. Three years...

The arrogance is the assumption that Dave pointed out. Assuming that these two factors are the real driving force behind an after market sleeper industry seems to be a bit arrogant. However I do agree with your point about 7 v 8, my point is the difference seems to be that integrated or...

Well I have yet to see a justification for cell phones and kids when they are in school. The exception can be a medical one, but outside of that, parents laziness and need to keep in touch with their brat at all times is a bit much.

I think the other interesting thing may be that a lot of newer trucks for these fleet owners and W/G trucks look a lot like they are class 8 with factory sleepers. Maybe the word arrogance can be used somewhere?

Issue would not be with the wikileaks owner or staff, that may or may not be an issue for others but the soldier who released the information without a doubt should pay for it and pay with this life. I think maybe this is what the idea of treason could be - releasing classified information...

Pjjj, you scan it into a jpg or tif file and then print it into a pdf file. There are programs out there that do this for you - I use Primo PDF converter

Hoses are 40 to 50 bucks to be made. I had a bunch of hoses made for my truck and my 'great' bentz sleeper for $115, which covers everything on the truck. If the system uses R22, then it has to be really old, say something like 15 years old. I would tell the tech to pitch the R22 system and...

That wasn't the form of greed I was talking about at the time but you make more sense than I did.
