$1.20 per mile, for Canadian runs? That is BEYOND funny! More like a joke. My wheels don't role for that for INSIDE U.S. loads that DON'T have border problems. $1.20 per mile is SUBSTANDARD. Willing to work for that? BE ASHAMED!

OHHHH! Gotcha!! Whew! A bit tired today, did a three mile walk out in the works. A REAL shock to my system. No gun to help me maintain my balance either. VERY hard.

What signature? You lost me.

You know Greg, I have WORKED with former Soviets, defectors all. They had the GUMPTION to escape, NOT the norm. They were a lot like that 3 year old who escaped from that "day care prison". All I need to know about the Soviets idea of "applied mediocrity" is the "Red Flags" Proof positive.

IF it is too heavy it is no good. A USABLE battery would be LIGHT, HIGH capacity, work at both warm AND cold temps, AND, recharge as fast as we can refuel a truck or car now. Anything less, is well, less!

Re: Dispatchers Far more businesses are closed on the weekends, therefor, less freight moves. Most, not all, freight that moves on weekends will run over the weekend with Friday pick ups and Monday deliveries. At least that has been the case for us since we have been in this business.

It may not be real. Then again, I have met a LOT of people out there who are AT LEAST that dumb! NO concept of reality. It is getting to be rather common in this country these days. Just look at Congress, NO concept of reality. Proof if I ever saw it!

Yeah, there sure can be some wait times. We don't haul a lot of any kind of hazmat. We seldom carry more than one or two radmat loads a year. We often turn them down, they don't always pay all that well.

I doubt that. We used the same detectors at our fire company. He was just being a typical "authority" figure. Had a lot of "power" in his own mind. It was low level stuff.

Nope, LaHood is going to OUTLAW trucks and cars in his "sustainable communities". Unemployment will be resolved then. All freight will be moved by pedal cars.

Those wack jobs will be allowed to vote too. Any wonder things are SO messed up? Public schools have done their job well. They have REALLY lowered the standards. It is FAR easier to control a under educated person. Teach them enough to be good little socialist drones. Kinda like Soviet Russia...

No it would not. Want proof? Start a fleet and just TRY to find GOOD drivers. It will ONLY lower unemployment if they don't have to work hard. Like a nice, easy, 3-4 hour day. Load, drive 20 miles, unload, nap, drive 20 miles back, go home and complain about having to work so hard. Quit, go back...

Sounds like that guy was a bit warped. Radiation readings off of used non-military equipment have little to do with national security. Every time I load radmat I am either told or shown what the readings are. I have not hauled any load that exceeded safe limits. Every radmat load we have hauled...

Getting rid of as many trucks as they can is the plan. It's more "green". :rolleyes:

We are a straight truck team and we have not had loads on most weekends this year. It has been a strange year for us in that regard. Many truck you may see as "dispatched" are not going to be picking up until Monday. We are in the Atlanta area and have a Monday afternoon load. Send me a PM if...

Just ANOTHER way to keep us from working. ANYONE who believes that these regulation changes are meant to enhance safety needs to do a reality check.

LaHood is trying to make room for the Mexican drivers to have jobs.

Remind me NOT to buy pizza where you do!!!!!!!!! :eek:

I have "cute" toes. SO THERE!! :p
