RE: Should I get an authority and get my own load Using getloaded.com for van loads will be tough. The available loads will be weak because of you load capacity with a van. The light one or two pallet loads are LTL and have very low rates. Rates and work will be better with a carrier, plus...

I would agree with BigRed. For those that are operating on a flat rate, the days of deadheading 200 miles for a 200 mile load are gone. The numbers will not work at todays fuel prices. Every run has to to be more and more scrutinized, or you will be out of business. I agree, acceptance rates...

A member sent this to me. Maybe Georgia? Davekc Response that isn't on CNN I just finished driving back from Ft. Lauderdale. Over 1100 miles in two days. I wanted to share with you what I saw. I got on the Florida Turnpike just north of Lauderdale and saw something amazing. There were power...

Original report RE Brit Hume Fox News, quoting AP sources. This is another update If you can't find links, email or PM me and I will send them through email Why were all those buses sitting under water?" 1) Why Didn't Louisiana Follow it's Emergency Plan? Why isn't anyone talking...

According to the AP wire and Fox News, George Bush called the mayor of New Orleans personally from Crawford Texas a DAY BEFORE, begging him to use their transit and school bus system to evacuate. Bush also told him it would likely take 48 hours for a full military presence. The mayor refused...

There are staging areas in Memphis, TN and Jackson,MS for loads to the effected area. They are telling drivers to fill at these locations prior to traveling south of I20. Fuel as of yesterday is free at the FEMA locations if you have a designated FEMA load. Not sure on the MS and AL FEMA...

RE: homepage article on oil additives We looked at a 90 day report verses another 90 days with using it. Can't count the winter months because of using other additives that could provide misleading results. I am referring to using anti-gel in the winter. Also, the blend of fuel in the winter...

This isn't the place for the rest of this discussion, so if you feel the need to counter this lets you and I do it behind the scenes. You have my email address and/or you can PM me right here on EO, beings this is the only forum I visit these days. I agree. Lets keep issues with other forums...

It is sad that the actions of a small majority may have contributed to the deaths of many. FEMA, the first wave of LA. National Guard, and N.O. Police Dept. were not prepared for urban combat and sniper attacks. There were rows and rows of emergency vehicles prepared to go in, but were told to...

Rich is correct. I would hang tight alittle bit and see what happens to fuel prices ect. Davekc

RE: homepage article on oil additives Yes. We use Howes Power Cleaner. Helps on fuel economy and keeps deposits off the injectors. KW 300 has 500,000 and no injector issues. And they are the original ones. Davekc

This not correct. Budget cuts and a lack of attention to the levees has gone on for years =============================================================== Very true. This started in the mid nineties. Since the city of New Orleans is sitting on silt and sinking each year, the Army Engineers are...

Marty wrote Lea has been raising the fuel surcharge butlowering the rates they charge their custumers ======================================================== That is why the past fuel surcharge legislation was inadequate. It never did address the actual problems. As far as FedEx, you must be...

I agree with Gibster on this. The fact is everyone is either spending their time blaming, Bush, FEMA, or the fact that many are black and once again, many are pulling the race card. The facts will come out and alot has but not being reported. Why was the response so slow? It wasn't. Days prior...

I am surprised the US is getting the offers of help. As of yesterday, according to Fox News, the below are donating money or sending supplies. The latest largest contributor is Australia, with 7.6 million dollars. Other countries are, Canada Russia France.....who would've quessed Germany...

I think "W" is somewhat limited in what he can do. It is not like he didn't make an effort. When he wanted to open existing wells and drill in Alaska, every enviromentalist group and tree hugger threw a fit. Now we see the results of listening to these radical groups. The public has no one to...

Between high fuel prices and all the suffering that is going on in the coast, these kinds of issues are so far down the scale they aren't worth commenting on. Davekc

Just about any government approved carrier is in the "zone" somewhere. U.S. Express, Landstar, Panther, Fedex, they are all operating down in that region. There are many, many others as well. Memphis and Jackson, MS are becoming major staging areas for shipments down to the gulf region. Davekc

That is crazy. Especially when they don't tell you. You should be awarded detention time for the period you weren't notified. Talk about killing your income potential. Davekc
