OMG Leo, I think it was all rhetorical. :p

But why sign on more trucks? The economy is not recovering, business is still way down and there are changes on the horizon, so why expand fleets only to have to pull back the size later on?

OVM, Unless you want to share, stop with the menu - some of us haven't had breakfast yet:p

And the Saga continues. The funny thing is I keep hearing this "cheap rates ruin our industry" and I counter that with "poor truckers do more damage". I think it all can be summed up in this statement; I keep trying to tell some who ask me what my success is based on that you have to have...

They are rebuildable, the cost of rebuilding one is the cost of four shocks for my truck and they have a one year warranty. I wonder if these are copies of some of the off road shocks?

Access card?

Blacklisted? Well you are talking about by the company for loads, I assume. Blacklisted in this industry seems to be rather something that happens to very few. I would look around, talk to other Canadian O/Os to get their take on what else is there. The other thing that comes to mind, unless...

Nah, he a great representation of the Obama administration. From red reset buttons to DVDs to Joe "wow Mexicans make Mexican food" Biden, he represents Middle Atlantic States Democratic White American Racist Male (as defined by Obama and others within the administration.

Thank you Bob and Piper for that. Sometimes we read the article and wonder how they came up with the idea. Dakota, no shocks? OK who else doesn't have shocks on the rear?

The bigger issue is the exemptions that some will have to have. I mean bus crash injuries seems to be large and I have only seen a couple buses that travel at a legal speed on the highways. Will this program force states to enforce speeding laws when it comes to commercial buses or are we...

Then the question that needs to be answered is who do you work for? The reason is not to trash anyone but to make sure you understand what you can or can not do. If you are contracted to them, then it is simple - refuse the load. If you work for them, well that's a different issue. I have...

Well I just had a really interesting conversation with a lurker of this site and it ended with "prove it". The subject is how much can you carry in your sprinter? He thinks that the sprinter can haul more than it does. I won't post what the numbers we discussed to be fair about this, so I...

I don't know what your point is - What is it?

I thought most of you sprinter guys ordered the espar heater package with your super duper super sized van. Wow piper, you beat me to it...... must be that panera bread stuff.

The espar is certainly a block heater, it heats the engine up though the coolant or is it just another amazing black boxes from Mercedes that doesn't do a thing? :confused:

Sprinter's don't come with heaters? Why didn't' you get one of those fancy espar

I didn't make the Moore comment, someone else did but his health care jokumentry was just that, a joke. His latest tripe is an attack on something that actually works for him and makes him money so any intelligent person could easily come to the conclusion that he is a complete idiot in denial...

It goes much much deeper than that. A lot of people are totally incapable of understanding what tools are used to create the division we have today. Just one example, the jealousy of money, seems to be driving people to demand action, even illegal action against those who earned it...

It's not over yet, I have a feeling the people who this will hit may make this a court issue, the supreme court will have to decide what the feds can do about interfering with private contracts. Mind you the list of companies include more than ones who went through bankruptcy and the messiah has...

There is a question popping up about the legitimacy of any health care bill. It seems that the feds don't have the right to step all over the states and a few states are sitting back and waiting until the feds pass something to drag it into court. The only issue with a court case is congress and...
