Nope. And I agree with you 100%, Highway. Everything can and should work together. It's when one or the other goes overboard that we experience what we are now. A few 1000 acres does not kill off caribou in Alaska. That same 1000 acres in a wetland or rainforest could destroy many species.

As you can see, the 1st Amendment is eroding away. It won't be long before we're told what to think here as well.

Steve, if I understand you correctly, you're saying (in a sarcastic way) that Panther can make or break the industry. The same way JB and Schneider broke the trucking industry, Panther can do the same, if they so wish. Do you think Panther will undercut their competition into non-existance if...

Gibson's view is very popular. I'm not big on conspiracies, but in a world that'll put you in jail if you don't believe the holocause exists, it makes me think some powerful ppl want us to think like them. Unfortunately, the truth, whatever it is, is covered by so much bs (by both the conspriacy...

Without wildlife, there would be no humans. I believe in total responsibility, and think the environment holds a higher authority over industry, to a point. However, I don't think that justifies delaying or terminating projects because a sand flea is endangered, or because there may have been an...

Perfect example of the victors writing history. This is a war on terror. The Israelis are at war with Hezbollah. Yet, when the enemy captures Israeli soldiers, they are "kidnapped". Is it just me, or does that word equate a crime has been committed? Funny... but when a soldier is captured from...

If doom and gloom create profit to those on Wall Street, doom and gloom is what we will get, real or imagined. Nothing has happened in the last 8 years to justify oil going up 500% and gas and fuel 300%. Their excuses are just that... excuses. The oil companies have already stated their...

Let me clarify something. I have never given dispatch gifts. I'm only saying that I don't see anything wrong with it. As far as giving money, like Randy is talkng about, I think the owner of any company would be miffed at the prospect, as those are his/her dispatchers. An occasional carton of...

Figure it this way... a cat in a NYC apartment doesn't have it much better.

Can't agree with you on this one. I've heard of this happening with Landstar's brokers. Send em a little gift to remember your name. That's not bribery, I'd call it LOBBYING! Yep... same thing goes on in Washington, and is totally legal. If you want to be successful in business, sometimes it's...

RE: looking to move my truck to smaller company ne I sent you an email...

What do you expect from someone who is isolated in his own little world? Stupidity may be bread in the South, but ignorance is alive and well in California! I've been around this country, and I've found both kind and honest ppl along with the selfish, greedy backstabbers you've described. Even...

If you'll be using it for stuff like gps, I'd recommend one with a 17" screen. Also helps if you're using it for movies or games. Other than that, the power all depends on what you're using it for.

Every war in recent history has been a bed of lies to get us involved. It's no surprise the current one is also. But take a look at Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt knew they were coming, yet did nothing about it, except move the carriers out to sea. I don't appreciate sacrificiing our military as "fish...

RE: Americans with no ability act-Congressional Ac They forgot the trucking industry(98%). Wow... political correctness has now come up with a new word for welfare. Just one more way the government is making turds smell like roses. Oh... and we gotta find something for those useless immigrants...

KW brings up a good point. The act of double, sometimes triple brokering goes on constantly. If I use gps to find a friend a load, which I do sometimes, I'm helping out the members of gps who are trying to move the freight. What difference is there between me helping a friend for nothing, and...

Bonnie... I have gps, and am leased to a carrier. Simply put, I use it to find loads when I'm in an area like today, Eagle Pass, TX. I find something, I call up dispatch, they call the broker. I run for C&M, who is a member of the alliance. The owner had gps when he ran his own authority, and I...

Cheri... you mentioning the chopped up programs made me think of something from the other day. TNT was showing The Thing the other night. My nephew had never seen it, so I flipped it on. Talk about CHOPPED UP!!! How they could bastardize a great movie like that is beyond me! No Bennings getting...

Good question and glad to have your input. Maybe with some info from an owner who gives a crap will make those who don't think about what they're doing wrong. You're going to get a ton of different answers about this and that to keep the drivers happy. From satellite radio to playstations to...

First thing that hit me was 90% in service. Is that what you intend on having your drivers do? Because not too many ppl want to be out 27 days of the month. At $4283, that comes to $500 per driver per week. If I were a team, I'd have to do way more than 10,000 miles/month... especially being 90%...
