    The Sinking Of The Titantic - FDCC

    OK, you believe what you want. I see it different. You are not changing my mind, nor I yours. We see things different. No need to go into it. I see short term profit taking. Just how I see it. Not that it matters. No one there gives a flip what I think or see. Recruiting won't be a...

    Panic? I don't thinks so. The chickens will come home to roost sooner or later. You don't attract the highest quality anything with lower quality pay. That model as never worked. You really do get what you pay for. Pay everyday, or lower rates, that is exactly who you are going to...

    HOCKEY - Bruins Rule (this year)

    It is always a great thing when an Original Six team takes the Cup. It has been a long time, since '72, that Boston won it. It is a good day for hockey. NOW, that "other city" up there in Canada, the losing city, should have their team taken from them. Based on their reaction to the loss...

    The Sinking Of The Titantic - FDCC

    It is a nasty circle out there Moot. As they cut the pay for trucks like ours it will be even harder to attract good teams. There are many more problems with the entire idea. They will come to light as time passes. As I said, the "bean counters" see only what is in front of them. Those...

    Hey Ragman!!!

    No, he understands the importance of a good hunker. My guess is that he has read this and was overwhelmed by it's wonderfulness!! When he settles down he will answer!!

    There would also be lower maintanence costs and lower equipment leasing costs. I have my old equipment at the house. It was mine to start with.

    Hey Ragman!!!

    GEEZ, you just don't get it!! WE cook the large chunks of red meat over the "hunker fire" We used special cut and sharpened "hunker sticks". IF the fire is right and hot enough, the meat is charred but still rare in the center. You also burn the hair off your knuckles and your eyebrow from the...

    Well Brisco, you got some of it right, not all. It is not as cut and dry as you wish to make it. That's OK, you are entitled to your opinion. Just keep in mind that you are an outsider and don't see everything that is going on. I know what Phil is speaking about, I am not happy with a lot of...

    We see things different. No need to go into it. I see short term profit taking. Just how I see it. Not that it matters. No one there gives a flip what I think or see. I just have to look out for my business.

    The Sinking Of The Titantic - FDCC

    I have no strange ideas as to my status. I am a warm butt in a seat. As long as I do as required I am OK. When the business model changes, I am toast. I can move to another carrier. It will cost me some but that is business. If and when I find a better fit, I will move. I owe no one I may...

    The Sinking Of The Titantic - FDCC

    The cost of pads, straps etc I figure at a set price per year. (for my purposes). I know what it cost to replace them, how often I need to etc. The costs for maintaining TVAL are very high. They also just went up when we changed to new equipment. Without an increase to cover those expenses...

    "Cheaper" alternatives almost always equates to lower standards and less service. I have never seen it happen any other way in anything that I have been involved with. Just a sign of the times. Lower the standard to "good enough" the losses that will occur can be offset by the cheaper rates...

    There is no need in going any further. There is too much going on right now. No matter what I would say, in here, I would be wrong. Let it suffice to say that things are not right and are likely to remain that way. Which is why I continue to explore more viable options.
