Just stop by Broom's house. He's got a very kind wife and the coolest dog. Just don't say anything about the washing machine in his front yard. ;) Oh... forgot. Don't stare while he chews with his mouth open with no teeth! :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." -...

Has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. I happen to disagree with the circling. If a cop is so insistant on the guy not getting a break on the ticket, let the ticket writer show up in court! Then again... if he's too busy creating revenue for his district/state... Tar... do your drivers...

RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying pay them .44/mi unloaded as well. At 25% dh, that makes it .55/mi. But realisticly, it's more like 40% dh when counting layover moves with Panther, which makes it closer to .62/mi or over 50%...

Does that mean you only have 2 years to go till it's finished? :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the But if the owner is getting 60%, then he's responsible for dh costs anyway. If the .44/mi is a company truck, and it is an employer/employee relationship, I'd say it's good, seeing as ssi and unemployment is deducted. However, I don't think...

I don't know the spread on the Hawks/Packers game tonight, but ya gotta take the Hawks here. Raidas found a way to lose another game they were dominating. How bout them Titan?!?! Poor Giants. Better luck next year... err... week. Yay Rams! You kept my Hawks in first! Never thought I'd say that...

If you get your own authority, you'd have to get load insurance. I've heard of single-load insurance, which would probably be best for you, if you're only taking a couple loads a month under your authority. Personally, I don't think it's worth it, if using it to suppliment your carrier's loads...

If you're paying fuel, I advise you to ask the owner to get a generator. If that's out of the question, get LOTS of blankets if you don't want to use fuel. The Colonel suggests using a small propane heater. Personally, I find it doesn't take enough bite out of a really cold night, it's...

RE: Panther Rates on their own banner ad tells the To put a different twist on what Cheri said about Family's team... Your team sounds like they would stand in a long line at a grocery store, then refuse to move over when another lane opens up unless someone paid them to. I feel badly that you...

Me thinks Ford should get out of football. It's a reflection of how he runs his company... ignorantly! Rumor is out that Millen is going to retire Monday. Stay tuned! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

LOL Prof! I'm glad they kept "Dinette Set"! :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Jayman... I like the words of just a dumb expeditor. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask your government "What the hell are you doing TO us???" Or better yet, the words of a wise bumper sticker: "I love my country, but fear my government!" ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely...

I wouldn't. The same idiots who deemed good buddy to mean gay, and cowboy hats to be Brokeback will likely consider you "funny". The old days are gone, and the new puppy mill drivers don't have a clue what nostalgia is. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

On the contrary, I think everything has changed. Before anybody could just get a cdl and go, it was a TRUE brotherhood. The cb was your entertainment and news. Truckers worked together to get what they wanted. They had their own colorful language, unlike ebonics. I was wrong... one thing hasn't...

Rematch of Ohio State and Michigan! "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

I never turn down a chance for Laredo... unless I know there are 10 company trucks already in TX. I've deadheaded from Dallas to Laredo just on a hunch, and got out the next day. Answering the original question... if I'm posting a lot, it's either slow or I'm at home (which the woman hates that...

I don't think the brotherhood is dead, but it is dying. I've helped, and have been helped by many big trucks. I've had a 53'er pull in awkwardly and partially block the main lane at the truckstop so they could give me a jump. I got a free jump from a tire guy on call, then lent my cables to...

Laredo is like Atlanta... hot, then dead, then hot again. It cycles several times a year. The reason Laredo is hell is cause it's 800 miles to another freight zone when it is dead. That's why freight goes for so little there sometimes. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't...

Ontatio... I can see a lot of those numbers on the American side coming from the "ignorant class". Not to be confused with the lower class, the ignorant class may or may not have the means to pay for anything, they just choose not to pay attention to reality. Usually a case of "my bling is...
