    Now I understand

    Stealing? No that's not what's going on at all but rather a pooled effort of spending money we don't have. Contributing to charity is a lot different from the government handing money out - big difference. That is a direct need for a community and it is being answered by the community itself...

    Now I understand

    Actually we already know the answer and have since the 60's. We have not become a nation of wimps but a nation of selfish and greedy people. We have people fighting and fighting hard to get their share - look at how the left uses these poor ignorant people to get things done. They fight hard...

    Now I understand

    You know layout, freemen and all that means nothing when they speak the rhetoric about wanting to be free but not willing to step up and do something while risking all. I'm not talking about the people who are/were in the arm forces or who fought on foreign lands or in government service, that...

    Haiti a tragdey

    This is nothing new. FEMA has trailers coming out of Georgia and Texas among a couple of other places. Actually this proves nothing because this is a disaster in a foreign country and have been practiced a lot more than the public knows. The Red Cross and other organization are more organized...

    It is a REAL shame.

    Such is life. if we worry about the earth and the destruction it can cause, we will worry ourselves to death.

    They finally wised up

    Dale, I also agree with X06col, the problem is many of the loads you get you will never see the processing time or which division it came from. The need for them to maintain an equal objective for all the work that comes to them as a group overrides the needs of the customer - in other words...

    Well x06col, if you were to charge for those two skids, would the $1.65 a mile they offer you be a fair price for that exclusive use of your truck and those two skids? I'm guessing no.

    sub contracting Tax question

    This is a good question, I would say - that's a good start but it depends and I would talk to an accountant to advise you at this point because I don't know your situation.

    Pain and Anarchy in Haiti

    This is going to sound really mean but the entire country was a disaster in the making for a long long time. I feel for most of the people there but it is not like its neighbor the Dominican Republic and it is not like any other nation in the Caribbean and there comes a time when the people have...

    Nuns? That's one of them private schools. You either learned or you were replaced. Try a combined class of 60 plus kids with two teachers trying to teach the same subject two different ways - got to love the 60's and public school reform.

    Interesting. Too bad though when you think about it. NLM? FedEX is dumping work on NLM? Well ain't that great. Maybe we will see a slide in CC work and a reduction in the fleet? Or CC contractors (not W/G) will have to start dealing with more reductions and maybe flat rates for the...

    sub contracting Tax question

    The contract is with the owner of the truck and you, not with FedEx. I would have had that in place before a commitment to go to FedEx. As for per diem rates and all of that, don't worry about it right now. Just keep good records right from the start, and put everything in a booklet or...

    sub contracting Tax question

    Keep everything! If you pay for fuel, keep a copy of the receipts with the mileage marked on them. You do have a contract with the owner - right? You did talk to someone EA or an accountant to see what you can do to lessen your tax burden. I may be one of the few who say don't use someone...

    Haiti a tragdey

    I feel for the people who have suffered in this tragedy and did what I could to help by providing the only thing I could provide - sending money to the Red Cross and a local church group here in the area who support Haitians who live there. With the international community behind the effort...

    99 Freightliner problems

    I'm assuming you have an FL70? I don't really experience the "running warm" issue with mine - however lately on long idles it heats up and I have to replace both stats. Under a heavy load going up a steep grade I would see 240 but then the fan kicks on (which you can't miss) and the temps...

    Isn't it kind of Ironic?

    Well it is no where near the quality as say the LA show or the Chicago or NY show. Those shows are not hosted in a war zone. It is international so I would think it would be a better show than it is but it ranks up there with the Paris Book Sellers market and the Frankfort Sausage Convention but...

    A NEW Gov for Michigan??

    Yea I told her to take the gas pipe to solve all of our problems but she didn't like the idea. We do not need a democratic governor any more but we need someone who has not been involved on the state or federal end of our representation - stupak is not the guy for the job. Abortion part of the...

    Isn't it kind of Ironic?

    I'm reading the little news bit; Feds: Michigan will qualify for high-speed rail money And it is ironic that this has come up at the "North American International Auto Show" of all places. This is a twisted region, we don't have real use of our public transportation system because of the...
