RE: Get our soldiers home AND solve the illegals p We could also force them to build a wall! Many say that's slave labor, but I point to chain gangs to counter this. Hell... we could give them minimum wage even. There are enough illegals here taking all the construction jobs none of us...

Yep... it worked for Cuba too. When Castro took over, he confiscated all private firearms. We all know how happy Cubans are. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

That scenario would cause me to think a contract has been broken. You are given a BOL, which is signed, thus making a contract. You're contracted to do so many miles, and thus be paid for those miles. If they change their minds midway thru the load, shouldn't you be paid for what was agreed upon...

Teacel... I'm surprise we haven't gotten into a friendly discussion about XL ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

Bob, that's all well and good, being a Canadian. You can pick up in Miami and deliver to Toronto, as can we. There's a bit of a mismatch of American v Canadian miles there, but it's something most of us agree that's good for both countries. Being that the US is the "meat" in the middle of the...

RE: Feeling a little stupid about CA speed limit.. Very simple. The idea is that more axles = more weight. I hear what you're saying about the extra braking power, but that's also the potential for 20k more weight. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

From what I gather from their site, it's easier getting a SBA loan when getting into a franchise. It all depends on what their piece of the pie would be. But something like that looks like you'd be finding your own customers, rather than looking for loads on a board. Not a bad concept, tho I...

Broom, I beg to differ. There isn't always a reason on our part a cop or DOT is a jerk, sometimes they grow into it. And, NO, there's no excuse they should act cruelly if unprovoked. Aren't they professionals themselves? Even moreso, they're supposed to protect and SERVE. "If I claim to be a...

I have to admit, I had my doubts as far as interest in a sports forum on EO. Glad it happened! :D

YEAH BABYYYYYYY!!! Broom... I won't rub anything in till they beat the Panthers in the playoffs. Then I'll get one of MY bar buddies to call you up and talk trash!!! Better yet, my sis will call. She lives in Carolina and HATES the Panthers! :7

NASCAR - Is that a sport? Only if they drink a 6pack beforehand. Football - Lions... um... I don't think so. Hockey - Maple Leafs Baseball - Blue Jays Basketball - Pistons Poker - Phil Ivey (If NASCAR is a sport, poker is) College ball - they're fodder for the pros ;) (tho I'm partial to Mich State)

Must be a company thing, cause I don't mark when I do the post trip. Just sign the little inspection thingy. I was told all we're required to mark is a pretrip, either 15 mins or flagged. DOT hasn't told me otherwise.

Bad thing about that one, it'll probably bring .25/mi. If you can't find anything to go with it, you still have to deliver it. That doesn't even pay fuel.

They did break bread, but I'm curious to see if ravioli can fly! WAHOOOO!!!:7 :7 :7

Since you asked... I told contractor relations about it, but don't think anything was done. I was in Nashville, #1, and was chatting with another driver who ended up getting a call for a load. Then another call cancelling the load. Then another load. Granted, we were both trying to get home, but...

I agree. They sometimes count on ignorance to get you to go to the boonies. I don't know about Denver, as far as Panther goes. Witchita seems just as far as Lincoln, NE for dh, and you'd be closer to the zone. Otherwise, you could head to Portland and start praying. Good luck!

Scootr... I like your posts, and am glad you're on here answering questions related to Panther. However, to say there's no favoritism at your company is like saying there's no government corruption. I won't go into details unless you want me to. And, I'm not saying it's rampant, but it is...

Me thinks Franklin and Hillary would get into a food fight ;)

That's only one show. After his show, the next one had a guest talking about OOIDA's suit to get sitting in the passenger seat to be considered off duty, among other things related to HOS. Very informative, IMO. I enjoyed Dave Nemo and Bozo when I listened to him, but the constant trucker...
