I should've clarified. How much is the tax itself, not the weight it's instituted. Thx :)

Does anyone know what the heavy weight tax is?

I really doubt that tax break was a reason anyone voted for him. I believe it was more like - look at who's running against him. I will say that I agree with your philosophy about them lowering gas prices to cool off tempers before election time. But I'll also bet this coming election is a test...

Good advice!!! Nothing like that has ever happened to me, and it never will now that I renewed my license without hazmat. I could only imagine the nightmare a driver would go thru having someone else's error leak everywhere, and get the bill on top of it.

Any way you look at it, an hour or two is an hour or two. Whether they're doing paperwork, getting freight ready, or making whoopy in the back room, they are given that extra hour or two. Yeah, it would torque my gears too, but like the Col said... what would you rather have?

If I choose not to vote, it will be because there's no difference in the parties. If I do vote, it will most likely be Constitution party. The thing that makes me sick is ppl saying "You're wasting your vote." Well... everytime I voted so far, it didn't make a dam bit of difference; simply...

DOH! Bite my tongue. Ya got me, Scoot ;)

I would say they got him the load more for their benefit than his. It's not like they were doing charity or anything. Some of their strong arm tactics and micromanaging push the envelope of the employee/independant line; but I'm sure they did plenty of research to make sure they're legal in...

I don't think anyone is being an apologist for the oil companies. It looks to me that Toyo believes oil has reached its limits and has nowhere to go but down. I'm one to say that I'll believe it when I see it. For the last two and a half years, we've seen the same thing... goes up a dime, down a...

Do all McDs have it? I'm wondering about the ones out in Podunkville. If so, it's worth the $20 as there are more of them than there are Flying Js.

Like I mentioned in another post, I was told by a Panther driver that you only had to take one load per quarter to Canada to be able to keep your rate. Unless you can't go for criminal reasons or therebouts, I'd say it would be worth it to suck it up for four trips a year across the border.

The problem with this idea, or the idea of the Argosy/30', and signing them on to a regular company is that the dispatchers wouldn't use it to its full potential. As much as I like C&M, a 30' box wouldn't work there; and they admitted as much. Dispatchers, in general, don't have time to chase a...

Cheri, that was a great question! Now I know McD's has wifi :7

I had ICQ way back when, when I was looking for a dame. Since I found one, I got rid of it. Nice to have the puter quiet when I come on here to bother everyone ;)

I can understand the tool thing... but DISCO TAPES??? In alphabetical order, nonetheless? I hope it's not under titles, as 75% of his collection would be under D for disco, or B for boogey. ROFLMAO

Yep... conserve fuel. When you need to go somewhere, only go half way... then get out and push! Seriously tho, we don't go somewhere unless we need to. Now, everything is based on how long it takes to get there, and do we really need it. Supply and demand doesn't usually work if you're the...

Now that I'm solo again, I've found a few different things that get me thru the night. A small nap usually refreshes me. A stop on an entrance ramp for a stretch(because the rest areas are always clogged). The radio helps immensely. And, being that I smoke, I end up smoking more. I'm surprised...

This has been discussed before, and I'm glad it was brought up again. I was THAT close to doing it myself. Had the tractor, and was searching for a trailer. I'm sure there are tons of drivers, like me, who hate 53'ers, but wouldn't mind something more reasonable, like a pup. It's a shame all...

Acceptable practice? No. That's part of why I'm not there. But in a company where you get moved to the bottom for turning one down, it's the way of the world. Reading thru again, I see your point about the truck directly behind you on the board. Perhaps it was taken off their loadboard, but...

McBride... could it be that a truck between you and Amos on the board took the SK load? And that's why you were offered, but Amos wasn't? Personally, instead of falling 8 or 10 spots because of the Witchita load, I would've taken it. If I knew for certain other trucks there weren't loaded, I...
