    is there any hope for cargo vans

    Well OVM, that is the problem I see too which comes down to people allowed to come into this business without going through the process that the trucks go through - just for an example logging. I read a lot of times the under 10k regs are thrown into a post and people read into that - an easy...

    is there any hope for cargo vans

    OVM, I may not be remembering my days with that first carrier right but our contract said 77 cents a mile for all approved loaded miles unless it was a "sprinter" load (God I hate that term) then it was 80 cents a mile. Now there were times where I would get an offer for a load that was 65...

    Watch your P's & Q's NOW

    Termite, I think it is funny that many think CSA 2010 and EOBR/logging will help the drivers by forcing the carriers/shippers to respect us more - higher rates/shorter wait times at the dock seem to be popping up a lot but both are wishes.

    uaw and ford

    Termite, It doesn't work that way. I wish it did but the UAW doesn't have full access to some of the management secrets per court order and as now, and in the past as now, each car company shares info behind the scenes at different levels of the business. The CEOs already know most of their...

    Expediters Hall of Fame

    I don't know Dave, sorry. I thought we were past this like the expediters history book. I only see three names I would ever consider, two on the list and one who posted. The problem is many of the people who actually have done something to claim any real hall of fame status may not even know...

    A Prayer for barry........

    You know Leo, you missed the point. If you think Biden would be another ALGORE and just sign papers and kiss babies for photo ops, think again.. The guy is an idiot and he can be easily controlled. Anyone who goes through a campaign like this and says what he has said then accepts the VP...

    barry BOWS AGAIN

    Yea I know, Switzerland provided a lot, alpine horns and those little swiss miss cups of coco. I can't think of any other country that was a major supplier of the war like the US. Canada was second, Australia and South Africa both come to mind but the south American countries didn't do much...

    Interesting Concept

    What I am puzzled by is how he came up with this idea of success in a closed country. Surely China was not open enough at that time to make a determination what was successful and what was not under Mao's tutelage. Mao was clear on how he saw the world and I think that, like Stalin with help...

    barry BOWS AGAIN

    Who's we? The last time I looked, the brits and russians were both being supplied by us. I have in my collection of WW2 junk and stuff a meal crate that was sent over to feed the hungry brits, we were glad to do that much for them. Many wanted to do more but our hands were tied in more ways...

    Rebuttal about Mrs Obama's staff size

    Kennedy's staff went beyond the WH, she had a staff for her interest within the family too and during the WH romp, old man Joe also had government paid staff and transportation.
