Are Sirius's rates going up? I just checked their site, and it still says $12.95/mo. That's a big reason I want to get lifetime membership. I knew when Stern came on, they'd probably raise rates. Looks like cable.

If you're a lifetime subscriber to Sirius, then Stern could only help you. He's practically guaranteeing Sirius will be around for a long time to come. I didn't know they canned FOX news for Stern. That was one of the stations I listened to on a regular basis. At least they're keeping Sirius...

Scott, I envy you! Zorn was, and is, my hero. I'd like to see him as a head coach. I'll tell ya... it's been as hard being a Hawks fan as it is a Lions fan. I'd love to see the Lions do well, but that's not happening while Ford owns em. Ford isn't serious about them... not when he picks...

Jim... did you keep dispatch updated as far as the road conditions? If so, tell your contractor relations guy that you want to appeal it. As for the above reasons, I would say all are legit. I would add a couple. 6. A load that has as much, OR MORE, dh than actual paying miles. Or, any load...

WOOOHOOOOOOO!!! 20 years a Hawks fan, and I'm finally tasting the championship punch with my team! Hafta say, it's better than sex!!! :7 To a football fanatic, there are two seasons... football season and waiting for football season. RichM and Broom can talk some football. Now I hafta wait two...

That's the whole thing, Race... IF he can get a return load. My guess is, he only has a couple hours to look for one. And if he drops in the boonies, he's stuck deadheading. If it were just the load you'd be concidering, you'd make money. If you tacked fsc onto it, you'd be in a better boat...

Doing a little math, it seems that vans are still coming away with a decent break with the new fsc formula. .09x13=1.17 Current fuel prices being 2.45, you're paying 1.28 for fuel. You have it even better if you're running a gas van. More like 1.10. I'd like to know what it is for straight...

Then maybe Landstar needs to use their top of the line engineering to find you a vacant parking area. I love how these companies, and government officials, can see to dictate when and where we're allowed to be too tired to continue. Most of the time, if you can find a strip mall or grocery...

You're forgetting one important thing. If being to the big game before is all that matters, we'd be seeing Green Bay vs Kansas City for the 40th time. Two years ago was your first time in, so you had to beat teams that have also been there before that. I wish the game were on earlier... the...

Well, if you're looking at your own authority, count on spending in the range of $10,000/yr for insurance, for starters. That's not a bad gig if you can find something for the return trip. Depending on where the load drops, that may be the reason you got it in the first place. If you're going...

Broom... If I were out as long as you usually are, I'd dh too. Especially to see the Hawks kick the Panthers' butts! :7

Indiana will ticket you for using entrance and exit ramps for parking. I believe others will too. States talk all this safety crap, yet they don't want to spend the money it takes to keep us safe.

Ok... that came across like a fart in church. :P

Graywolf, the best thing you can do is to drive for someone to save up the money. Simply put, if you don't have the money to drive the truck you want the loan for, you won't make it. I have experience in this aspect. I didn't expect the truck I got thru owner finance to need a new tranny 3...

RE: Introduction To Expediting; Now Available in . I'll give credit where credit is due. Tom Robertson has a good sized series on expediting basics. He broke it down into five parts. Good read. Maybe he'd bring it over EO's way.

Dave... try 10,000 a year.

If I'm not mistaken, the tax changes around 52-54k. As far as a class-8... smoother ride, comparable milage to class-7s, more tire wear and tear. But your chance of getting a t/t load is slim. You'd be lucky to get one a month with any company. Dispatchers aren't going to be persuaded to keep a...

Funny you mention that, KW. I'm selling my old reliable truck LOL Independant is fun, but my truck is built for a solo. My nephew wants to get back into the truck with me. So, the old guy has to go.

The roundtable at truck.net has a section specifically about making a business and getting your authority. It's run by accountants and other business professionals. I would start there.

I can only speak for myself. But your blunt honesty was always something I liked seeing. What is a forum with no intrigue from time to time? I'll tell you what... BORINGGGG! LOL EO has enough soap opera to keep me coming back tho ;-) I don't go on yahoo messenger. Last time I visited a...
