Wait a minute. Is this the same guy that ranted about the Fed trying to force him to put a speed limiter on his truck? When push came to shove, you bent over and took it with the best of us. :D

Fort Wayne,IN Taking a few days to get some PM stuff done. Staying the night at the Fort Wayne Truck Center. Thought about going over to the McDonalds, but for some reason we just don't feel a warm and fuzzy welcome.:D

Thanks I assume you are solo? When you are waiting there at the dock and the shipper keeps telling you "it will be ready soon" are you able to log this time as Off Duty? Oh, and what does IMHO mean? People text that to me all the time and I still don't have a clue.:D

It is a good catch phrase and the intentions are clear but I am afraid this will amount to nothing more than an ineffective harassment campaign. A small percentage of people sending termination notices, pink slips, moving company info etc. etc. If a huge number of people were to...

I would like to know how different Carriers and drivers handle this situation: If you accept a load and arrive to pick-up on time how long are you obligated to wait before you can decide not to do the load? This question is directed at teams since a solo would run out of hours if they...

LOS, My memory could be failing. I thought a CDL was not required for a cargo van. Please correct me if I am wrong. Very possible.:confused: Hearing loss that is not restorable by hearing aid is a qualifier for disability. A person who is determined to be disabled before the age of 22...

Look at the top of this page for the "search" button. Click on it and enter something like "sprinter sleepers" then start going through the threads. I tried it and there are quite a few threads with pics like this: Have fun!:D

The first step would be to apply for SSDI. If you are approved for that then you have many more options available to you, such as educational and work training programs. Once you are on SSDI the Government will be motivated to help you find work. Note: SSDI is for anyone with a qualifying...

Ok guys, stop beating it, that might be enough. Let me check . . . Yea, it's definitely dead.:eek::D

It's my ball so if you want to play you have to follow my rules!! Oh well, this is perhaps the best managed forum I have come across so from time to time good management turns into micromanagement and things go on. Thanks for the forum!:D

Seems like the most prudent plan would be to go drive for an owner of a Panther Elite truck first. Once on the inside again, you can keep accurate numbers and see for yourself. This might be much more useful than asking for others opinions and making a leap without hard data. Yea, I know...

In your opinion and in mine he is not important. The reality is just the opposite. In our media controlled society, this child who has done nothing but play a game all of his life could easily decide to run for House or Senate and with the full blessing of the media and a country full of sheeps...

Well, you know how those darn rent-a-cops are. Give em a little power and they become rulers of their own worlds. We see em at the shippers all the time but I guess they hide out other places as well.:D

I can't help it! This story is cracking me up!! Tiger gets in a high speed accident backing out of his own driveway? At 2 in the morning? His wife happens to be nearby with a golf club in her hand? He has scratches on his face? They won't speak to police for two days? A story about...

Ask him? Seriously, I have seen this situations escalate needlessly due to a lack of communication between the driver and owner. The first step on your part is to keep accurate documentation of all monies due per your contract during the time in questions. The next step of course is to...

ttruck, The above answer is about the most accurate you can get on a generalized question such as yours. Almost all expeditors are Independent Contractors which translates to being small business owners. This is like any other business where the particular decisions of the owner and the...

The decision should be made by the originator of the thread as to if he/she wants input and discussion from all members and the originator should be able to post comments and replies at any time during the life of the thread. Just my two cents. Moving a thread for organizational reasons...

Ditto, well said.:)

This is the problem when someone reads into a post. Not trying to say any of the above, not even close. There were no secret intentions here. Just a sorta "loophole" was discovered and it is humerous that Bruno's post ended up where he would have liked it to be in the first place. BTW it was a...

In a stroke of genius Bruno found a secret passageway into a carrier forum meant only for the snooty and snotty! The secret is out now for all of you that have protested the inability to comment on the carrier specific forums other than your own. All you need to do is make a carrier...
