It appears that you might have not ever been to the York County, PA firefighter convention and parade. They have a bunch of volunteer firefighters known as the "Fire Babies" who ride tricycles, pedal type, in diapers with firefighters suspenders in the parade. They do this to raise money for...

What subsidies? You mean a lower tax? That is NOT a subsidy. The government is NOT entitled to any companies OR private citizens earnings. It is NOT the governments money. Lower ALL taxes EXCEPT on those who pay none and insure that THEY pay THEIR share. They are the drain on the rest of us.

I would LOVE to see another, MUCH WIDER, investigation into this to see who else is involved. Just one in Chicago is not enough. I would look a LOT higher up the Dumb-O-Crat food chain in Chicago for others.

The REAL candidate will announce next month, IF we are lucky enough to convince him to run.

I should make up my OWN "manlaws" They would be GOOD. No "city slickers" or "metrosexuals" would EVER follow them. Only REAL men who know what a "hunker" is would even read them! LOL!! :p

All part of the "Grand Plan" to move the US to "second" or even "third" world status. We will lose most of the middle class, have a tiny, elite "upper class" and the rest will be serfs or worker bees.

It is not only FDCC. I think you are going to see the downward pressure on rates industry wide. IF Mexico gets it's way, and I see little reason why they won't, they are, sooner or later, going to be allowed to work interstate freight as well as the international freight. Then we will all be...

Sounds like "manlaws" for "city slickers" to me. Should have started with a "hunker". :p

You don't pay attention to the pay breakdowns? :confused:

Let's try it this way: The higher the percentage of the total pay of a load is in FSC the lower the profit a truck makes on that load. I don't turn down loads due to FSC, BUT, without a doubt, the higher the percentage of that pay is in FSC the less we end up with, therefor, we are working...

I don't think many understand what I am getting at. I must not be explaining it well.

What ever you wish to think is ok by me. It matters to me. I watch what I EARN, you know, keep. Gross is not as important as net. If the "rate" is mainly going in the tanks I am NOT keeping as much. IF the rate per mile remains static with a rising FSC what the truck is being paid to haul...

Look at the REAL rate on loads, remove tolls, FSC etc etc etc. How has that rate been holding? Going up? Down? Staying level? IF there was, say a $2 per mile average last year, and still $2 per mile earlier this year when fuel was way up, that base rate went down. Only the FSC made it up. That...

I thought I said that this had nothing to do with any individual truck, team or carrier. I don't believe that I was even implying that this had a thing to do with you or you truck. I am very sorry if you took it that way. I can assure you that it was NOT meant that way.

I did nearly fall out of the truck I was laughing so hard. There was a lot of dead head but when we worked out the pay without the DH it only paid about $1.50 per mile. WAY too low for TVAL work.

This has nothing to do with any individual truck or carrier. As the business changes so will rates with it. There very well come a day when there is no "D" TVAL trucks. It is more than possible to see how rates could drop low enough to make it impossible to operate a truck like that. I can...

OH! I REALLY hope it was!! :p

Companies can offer what ever they want. They would cut OUR rates in half if they could. If no one accepted those lower rates they would not go this low. It all comes down to this, as long as people are willing to work cheap, we all will. Rates are going down. It is being masked by the FSC...

Weiner wanted pictures.

I don't know about any one individual truck. The more people out there willing to work for next to nothing the lower rates will go.
