Frank, I would normally agree with this but in fact there are trucks in the surface fleet that have all that being former WG trucks and used as WG trucks when they don't get WG trucks to cover the load. Straps, Pads, special handling, etc.... The problem with the idea that only WG trucks...

Hey Phil, Am I wrong but weren't you the one saying just a few months ago we are heading for a recession and it won't happen until the numbers show it? Or am I thinking of someone else? I don't think the fed's numbers show it yet with still a positive GDP growth, but we have been in a...

Don't get me wrong, vent away... I will read what you have with an open mind. The real problem that I have been trying to say is that this single subject used to be really easy to understand before 1934 but since then it has become more complex and more frustrating than anything else someone...

Shhh... Steve.... don't let any secrets out......;)

Is your reefer unit belly mounted or is it on the box?

Well I thought I was the only one. Makes you wonder why it looks like they are ramping up recruiting for Freight employees and LTL (employees .49 CPMs solos and contractors .95 CPMs solos). I have one of their ads right here, see it...... I have seen them recruiting for Express and ground but...

I agree with moving the lift behind the drive, but also I would think moving the fuel tanks would be easier than moving the batter box. The fuel tanks have three lines (and one wire) and extending the two fuel lines (and one wire) is cheaper than moving the battery box and buying cables...

I am trying to figure out what you are saying. The problem is labor issues are complex and normally settled with the DOL on the federal level with most companies, they have a process to address most issues. The states take up the slack but the IRS has been involved only, ONLY to collect...

I am wondering - Are you going to employ people or have contractors?

No it's not that no one wants to say it, we just know it is. How's the job hunting?

Ratwell, I am going to focus on one issue - taxes. I saw three entire interviews with him and he said exactly what I said, he had no real solution and even with the link you posted, he was clear that he wants to 'examine' what we did before 1913 when we had corporate taxes and other tariffs...

You know it is not the educated supporters I am talking about, it is the dim witted yelling and screaming type that concerns me. We don’t need them to be so vitriol on subjects like the IRS, people do not want to hear a bunch of IN YOUR FACE style rhetoric – that’s a fact. The problem with Ron...

Get an accountant. If you are going to be in this business as a business with trucks and all that, line up the professionals to advise you. Leo, I do include food on the road to a point and also my cell phone bill. I take a percentage of the cost of the food off the top of the total cost of...

Am I the only one who had to read his question twice? Ok I did the FedEx thing with the van, then in a c unit and then on to Landstar to where I am now. I would stay exactly where you are. You have limited overhead driving for someone else (an assumption), you know the system at FedEx and...

Bob Barr appears to be the libertarian candidate for president, that's all. He is sort of like Ron Paul shifting parties. Well the point is that Ron Paul is one of many who say the same thing but the difference is that many of the Ron Paul supporters are down right scary and committed.

Now not to beat up on Phil but he hasn't answered my question either.

Bob Barr. I would like to see Ron Paul not to be in this race, I don't want Obama being the president and I think that we will see a repeat of 1912/1992 all over again. I think his time will come if he does not cause a split in the vote. Speaking of Obama, you know there is a list of things...

Not to criticize but are you preparing a recall for your senators and congressmen? I met with the Levin recall people before I left home, they need website work and I offered to set it up for them - let's see if they get it together.

Ratwell, I applaud you, bravo.... I take another approach, I write short personal letters that talk about the plight of my family or put a personal spin on things. I learned from congress staffers that the short to the point letters without complicated solutions and some personal things in...

Well it all depends on the company, not which is better over another. There is a point that each has an advantage for each person's life style to a point. I sit more often than not (like FedEx) because my limitation is a small truck - 16 foot box with 14 feet of space I get loads that are...
