3. Vertical movement= can this vehicle be moved to another company or industry and maintain its marketability Dave, Don't you mean a lateral movement - like company to like company is lateral, right? Also another factor involved is competition within the company and that is the basis for my...

OK you not the odd ball and I understand what you are saying. I had no job in 2003, and I lost my health care at the end of 2003. It got so bad I could not even get a job at McDonalds because I was a 'tweener' - someone who is between college and retirement. I struggled financially, tried to...

I have ended up with a lot of food. I had a load to a resort in Colorado and got a weeks worth of food. All freshly made that was not put out for a conference, it was all going in the dumpster. I was at Smuckers and got several 'samples' just for being nice and helping them unload my...

So I guess if you are asking if we are killing ourselves by doing this job?? Well yes. This is one of the most stressing jobs I have yet to have. I won't bore you with the reasons why, I already wrote 5 pages for my web site and posted (I think) about my choices and how I can improve...

aripen Here is what you ask when you talk to your CC Was I too far from the load? The customer may wanted the first nearest truck. Was the load over 450 miles? If the load was not more than 450 miles, you should have been offer it. I know that they say it is 350 miles (some say it is 250...

Jim, I would say that if that is what you need to call them, that's alright with me. The point is that they have zero incentive to keep things rolling based on the fact that hourly wages don't guarantee performance and without any guarantees, many trucks may sit. I heard that used to be people...

OMG, what are we going to do.... Panther on a website saying they are bad..... the world is going to end............:(

Don't know what to say. You all got more access than I do but I would just start with who is at the top and work down from there to build up an idea who's who.

Rich, Both of Schlitz's and Stroths were considered good beers but mass marketing and mass production of cr*p beer prevailed. There are 1000's of old names gone in the beer world and it used to be that the local beers had great taste and a great following. But Stroths is now considered nothing...

You know Rich, if Phil pays it off and freight market drys up, it would make one great RV and it would be cheaper than most.

Because I can't get into the system and see the comments :p, I am thinking back to my Phrama days when I had to make a case to upper management for funding on a project - I put it in terms on how to save them money. Just complaining about how the boards are or how accounting is messing with...

Leo, I don't buy into the "dispatchers' work so hard stuff. I think that the real solution would be to take the dispatching pool and train them in trucks that they will be dispatching and then put them on an incentive program so to keep people moving. They make an hourly wage, they go home...

I am trying to find the one from the Paris paper that just slams Obama's wife for her comments about 'now I can be proud of my country' and the fact he does not wear an American flag lapel pin. I read it and then my computer crashed. I never read something so vicious in a long time coming...

Phil, You should have just stuck to that one quote, it said it all. My God, there is a lot of nothing being said. I do have to offer a few things, I know I am sticking my nose into it but so what, I am waiting for a confirmation on a load so I can get out of here and bored as...

I just found this and it seems to be a little interesting, if you know how liberal many are..... Change You Can't Believe In

I don't know about that...... I was always told to start out low as possible to save your clutch. I think it is cheaper to start out in lower gears than to pay for a clutch...... but that's me. In my little junky truck, I start out in 2 and try to let the clutch out around 900 rpm, letting...

Thats what I do... sort of... what you said.... oh it is too confusing....

Yea yea yea Phil..... your quoted statement above says it all.

yea, I tried, had them reset my password and still can't get logged on. Oh well I wanted to post a bunch of questions.

Yes it is an insurance problem but not a lack of insurance. Look I can go into a lot of detail about the problems but the thing is we should not run to the government for help every time something is wrong. In the case of Robsdad, I understand where he is coming from and know what he faces...
