    Questions about pallet pullers

    I just use a strap off a flatbed truck with a flat hook on the end. It's 27 feet, I think. I jusually ust wrap the hook end around the center stringer and loop the hook over the strap, then wrap the loose end of the strap onto tie forklift rack. Occasionally, there won't be clearance to get...

    Pittsburgh......

    Today, NBC's Chuck Todd suggested, without evidence, that these bombs may be part of a Russian operation. Sorry, had a MSM Moment there.

    I didn't see your statement of condemnation, either. But that doesn't make me think you support mail bombs.

    Pittsburgh......

    What The Leeft, and especially those in the Media, refuse to acknowledge its Trump never attacks someone first. All of "Trump's Targets" are people who attacked Trump, and then he responded by attacking them right back. What's interesting about the Fake Bomb Recipient List is not only for who...

    Pittsburgh......

    Evidence like who would send bombs that aren't designed to go off, and what the motive behind it is. When you said the right was silent, you weren't all that specific on what kind of silence you found objectionable, so I decided to go with a lack of evidence as being the reason why the right...

    They won't hire my co-driver because of tickets, help.

    "Nope, you are screwed until his 3 year DMV report comes back clean." Points matter to law enforcement. Events matter to insurance companies. Transportation companies are ruled by insurance rates and risk tables. Two accidents or incidents (like a ticket) would score as high risk on the risk...

    Concerned I’m being massively screwed over

    There are better opportunities out there, for sure. But as a noob, getting a flat 38 cents per mile softens the learning curve a bit. Getting paid a percentage of the load, generally speaking, will pay you more in the long run. But at 38 cents a mile, if the load pays $1.20 to the truck, you're...

    Concerned I’m being massively screwed over

    If you agreed to 38 cents a mile, and that's what he's paying you, then you're not getting screwed. Between 28 and 32 cents a mile is not that unusual for a big truck driver, like somebody driving a tractor for Werner, so 38 cents for a van isn't bad. If the amount that went to the truck, after...

    Rocking the ONE in October

    Should I stay or Should I go?

    The thing about El Paso, Laredo and the other border towns, you can sit there for a week and then get a week's worth of revenue in one load to Michigan. As for having 3 or 4 different dispatchers (instead of just 1 or 2) all bidding on the same exact freight out of El Paso...

    Public shaming.... view from a liberal

    Remember the whole three-fifths of a person thing, and how that's used as a cudgel to beat up Southern White Males and play ttie victim? Nope .Southerners and especially slave owners were dead set against that. It was the Notherners that wanted freed slaves to count at a whole person and for...

    after storm in hampton roads

    I delivered to Hampton the other day, and was in Newport News for a couple of days. Then saw that I was dead center of the path of the tropical storm, so I skirted down the coast underneath the storm and missed it all. Went down 17 to Wilmington. But you could definitely tell a hurricane had...
