BINGO! Jets over Raidas 23-3. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Moot... I'm guessing you got your A first, let it expire, then got your B later? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Plain and simple... if it benefits you, take the run. There ARE NO FAVORS in this industry. What you described was a favor. If he broke down, and they needed to transfer a load, that's a necessity. If a necessity puts you way out into nowhere at $1.02/mi, that, to me, is a favor. If it's that...

Colonel, somehow I knew you'd respond. LOL Although I don't agree with all your philosophies, your main ones are tough to argue. Make money on stuff others can't or won't. IMO, there will come a time when a 22' dry box just isn't enough to make it. You'll either have to become more innovative...

The solution is to be flexible as to what kind of freight you can carry. Be open to all possibilities, and take a peak outside of the box most ppl call their comfort zone. A lot of individuals and carriers alike have already adjusted. They will be the healthiest when this storm passes. Does...

I don't know of any .50/mi companies. The ones who do the .40+/mi can claim that just to get some newbs in the door, where they think they'll drive for 5 years and make that much in the end. For every driver that makes .45/mi, I bet they have 20 that make less than .30. That's how they get over...

When the founding fathers came up with our government, it was based partly on the Greek democracy (republic). I wish they would've gone with the term limits the Greeks held also. Each representative served for two years, and that was it. It was to give each person a chance to serve. If they did...

How can our government officials dictate common sense when they don't practise it themselves? Sometimes, I wonder if they know the meaning. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Tallcal... reread your first post, and you'll answer your own question. You're the one who brought up other Republican presidents and Clinton. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I'd take the Jets. Talk about a pumped team! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Yes and no. Seattle clinched their division last week, but they're striving to win for momentum going into the playoffs. However, you can count on a few sitting out this one. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

My wife speaks German, and doesn't recognize anything there. She said it's probably jibberish. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

There was a thread about 2 months ago on that very subject in the General forum. Check it out. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I was always charged at Speedco according to how many quarts my engine took. $287.00??? Heck, I'll go to the MADCO truckstop and get an oil/filter change for $130 or so. I paid $159 at the International dealer in Denver this past summer. Speedco is supposed to work on volume. Guess biz isn't...

Exactly what I was talking about with the ATA's need for "safety". They claim they want it, yet put substandard drivers in their trucks. Don't let it fool ya, this is exactly according to their plan. Low rates, driver turnaround, higher insurance. This forces a large pool of poorly trained (not...

For a national ban, as you would have it, it would go against the Bill of Rights. You know, those 10 little laws that are supposed to limit the powers of the federal government; but which the feds continually trash? Last I checked, none of them say the feds can control smoking, drinking (which...

Sounds like you're more disgusted by the smell, not the smoke itself. And as far as having us roll up our windows when we smoke... what do you want us to do? Die? LOL To revisit what I said in an earlier post, it's more like changing the law to suit one's own personal agenda. But with this kind...

A little of one, a whole lot of the other. Hardly anyone could disagree the man should be dead. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

You forgot Carter with double digit inflation and kissing OPEC's arse. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I find in today's world, everything affects everyone. Driving like a jerk causes everyone else to have to react to said jerk. Not washing your hands after using the toilet gives everyone else a chance to get sick. Sneezing into open air does the same thing. It's gotten to the point where ppl...
