Bigdiesel... most companies pay dh like that already. The .10 after the first 100 mi is nonsense. Panther pays .50 after the first 100 to p/u a load. When I read your first post, I thought you meant all dh miles. Most companies give a 50 or 100 mi cushion where you eat that first 50 or 100...

I was told, by someone with experience with liftgates, not to get them. He said that if you have it, ppl automatically think it comes with the service. They get mad if you tell them it costs money to use it. If I bought a truck with one already in place, I'd leave it; but wouldn't go out of my...

Whatever happened to playing songs to sing to? I guess this generation is too stupid to be imaginative. It's rare to see a kid reading anymore. That's right America... continue to stick their faces in a video all day, and my daughter may someday be their boss! (maybe even yours)

No one pays for dh home. My guess is that they'll pay dh to p/u, and dh to the freight zone of their choice. Who is offering this anyways?

Read your first sentence again. That tells you right there why it's slow. I have never heard so many ppl talk about how bad it is, and 90% of those ppl are van drivers. Face it... there are too many vans on. Fact is, the only grass that's greener for a van driver is to get a straight truck. From...

The money has always been available to rebuild the levy, yet Louisiana failed to use it for that. Why is it always up to the feds to do things for everyone? I don't remember where in the Bill of Rights it says the feds have to rebuild levies. Oh yes... it's in the tenth bill, which says: All...

snipervictim... The fact that both New Orleans and Louisiana are run by libs means that it's a utopia. Everyone should have gotten a car with their government check. :P

Don't kid yourselves. Greenpeace, and others like them, are the oil companys' best friends. They keep up the excuse, and litigation against building refineries. Without new refineries, they can only produce so much oil... thus keeping prices high. Bush talked to the execs about building...

Unless you have a surefire plan, stay the hell away. At 7mpg, we're giving up 40 cents to fuel off the bat. Also, you'll hafta deal with the new HOS. Here's what I think about that... You take one of the zillion 200 mile loads, deliver it, then go to a truckstop to wait for your next load. Last...

That's unnecessary, justme... especially from someone who has 4 posts. You must have another nick we're not aware of... how bout sharing with us?

Darn good comeback!!! :7

To say it's class is 100% correct. Simply because someone from Kennebunkport wouldn't ACT that way! And only if they didn't evacuate as they would be likely to do in the first place. I'm tired of blame being thrown here and there. You are talking about a city of 500,000 where a mass exodus...

same reason ppl voted for Bush... lesser of two evils, maybe? ;)

Raceman... welcome back!!! Please tell me where the edge of the Earth is, so I don't fall off it like you did ;)

instead of beads, they'll throw salt pills and MREs

Don't you DARE use minorities to pull your rickshaw!!!! Plus you hafta give them health insurance in case they stub their toe and get "rickshaw elbow" ;)

Dukes... going to war with Iraq had nothing to do with this. Remember, Iraq wasn't supposed to be producing oil for money (although the UN corruption threw that out the window). But as I remember, in 97-98 when fuel was less than a dollar, Iraq had sanctions on it then. So what do they have to...

Ryan... I'm not disagreeing with you here. I was responding to those who think the government is moving too slowly. For the most part, yes, those who stayed are stewing in their own soup. New Orleans did not have an effective plan in place for this situation, although they knew that it wasn't...

And how do you propose they EXPEDITE hundreds of thousands of people out of there? Where would you put them? They have to plan things out before, because in haste something is bound to happen worse than it is now.

No, the president does not set the prices, and no, OPEC doesn't either. The bigwigs in New York dictates prices. I have to say that they would have less to fear from Bush than someone like Clinton. Washington does, however, does set the policies. And those policies are very friendly to the oil...
