RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs I don't care if you criticize me, but have some substance to back it up. Again, you put words in my mouth. I wasn't singling out any individual, I was saying that truckers, AS A COLLECTIVE, are stupid. Let me try to explain what I meant in a...

What kind of insurance company isn't available 24/7? You'd think that OOIDA would have that service, being as much as they are. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs Chuck, you miss the point with all this. How many HONEST companies do you think there are? There are many more that run illegal than do legal. When you have rates that are this low, you pretty much have to run illegally, HOS and speed, to make...

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs The ATA's drive for governors has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with profit. By limiting the speed of their competitors, the companies in the ATA will have a bigger market share. As I said in a previous thread, if the ATA is...

My neighbor runs for Churchill and makes .95/mi. He gets plenty of miles every week, yet still brings home next to nothing after repairs and maintainence. I don't know how they do it, when it's not benefitting them financially. You'd think putting your heart and soul into a career would bring...

Struggling to survive, no. I would say struggling to grow. Word of mouth, mostly from their own drivers, have kept a lot of ppl from joining, and causing others to vow never to sign on. It's in Panther's best interest to listen to their fleet if they want to keep expanding it. Once they turn...

I wouldn't take Baltimore, as they're playing in KC. I would take Detroit over Minn, SF over GB, Miami and the spread, and San Diego over the Donkeys. I agree on NO... or, I should say, I hope they kick butt!!! ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Very possible that's what it's meant to do... motivate Grossman. With Lovie stating Rex is his man, I don't think he'll change things till they start losing. Tho if I were a qb in the NFL, nothing my coach said would insure I was concrete in my job. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means...

I heard the Republicans are buying the Democrats. There will now be one party under the new name Republicrats. Oh... that's old news ;) All that's missing is a Seig Heil. :P "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Personally, I've heard he was a good man. But his son or nephew took over the biz and turned it into the puppy farm it is today. I hold no love for his company, the values of his successor, or what it's done to trucking. I can only hope the next successor will actually care about the ppl working...

I hope it's something that can be controlled, so you can get back on the road soon! I wish you a full recovery. Lou Rawls! Cream corn! ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Not bad, Wolf... 3 for 5 this week ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

You know the Raidas will take him. They won't win another game, and the Lions are too stupid to take a good qb. Besides... they need to get offensive linemen with their first five picks. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Indiana used to be one of the cheapest. Now, they're just plain cheapskates. They charge almost as much as Ohio with a surcharge much less. AND you have to pay a surcharge for their miles. I don't buy fuel there anymore. SC, KY, VA, and MO are always bargains, albeit low IFTAs. GA and FL are a...

Cheri... peace of mind is something that doesn't seem to count on the satisfaction scale. A lot of the ppl raiding the government coffers or going into the emergency room with empty pockets have new cars. How does our system put up with that? How do the ppl in general put up with that? Granted...

With a loss to UCLA, the Trojans have "rubbered" their way out of the championship race. Unless the Gators go crazy in their last couple games, it looks like a Mich/Ohio State rematch! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

The way I see health insurance is kinda like car insurance. It's something that is preventative. The ppl in the good ol USofA don't like to buy stuff that won't give them satisfaction NOW. And I guarantee, if car insurance wasn't manditory, most ppl wouldn't have it. Having said that, if ppl...
