Tom, I sent you a PM. Drop me an e-mail when you have the time. Thanx.

It's my understanding that you can ask to see the bill for a specific load. They have no obligation to show you a rate sheet, or anything like that.

Best of luck LDB. I have friends who have recently started with Landstar. Both D-units. One single and one team. They are happy so far and the loads have paid well. They both say that the "driver friendly" attitude of everyone they've dealt with so far is second to none. I wish they were taking...

C'mon Danny, don't be shy. Tell us how you REALLY feel! LOL! You may have just gotten rid of any thoughts I had about possibly getting one of those. So much bad press about one vehicle.

Companies who deal with Not Logical Move(NLM) have probably experienced this sort of thing. I was offered a load picking up in Cleveland while I was on my way to Lorain. I had the option of picking it up on my way, or, delivering first. I delivered first. When I got to Cleveland I was told the...

You need to have a DOT approved sleeper for your rest to count in the eyes of the DOT. When you don't have a sleeper, you need to provide motel reciepts(sp?) at a roadside inspection.

Things do happen in life. If something happens in life, you still have the obligation of your loan. Will you be able to sell that truck in a week if something happens? I don't think so. And, you will be out that big down payment you made to keep your payments reasonable. It's a risk no matter...

2 days is my maximum anywhere. If it has'nt happened in 2 days, move on.

RE: Hazmat load and a generator/aux gas tanks and If you can't haul haz-mat in a van, why would a major company like Tri-State make you have your van set up for placards. I don't know if they still do, but that was the case in the past. I've only hauled non-placarded loads. The burning...

Gm has been crying about health care for some time now. So I wonder why so many Canadians are losing their jobs when their health care is a fraction of what it is here? Why would'nt they take advantage of that?

That's a big 10-4 on the regulated nonsense. They can make all the HOS rules they want, but a guy who wants to do whatever he wants, will.

Did they choose that team based on their research?

RE: Say you were in charge of Ford, Chrysler, GM, That's a pretty good list. You left out having someone to drive it for you.

...and he was doing so well!

I don't run team and don't really want to until I can convince Heather Locklear to be my co-driver. But those I have talked to say that 5/5 works well because it's a short shift. Studies have shown that getting your rest in shifts is as good as 8 hours straight.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Turkey Day. The Lions sure stunk up the house yesterday. Thanks for the weather report Rich. It's a balmy 8 degrees here in Alpena, Mi. Same as it was yesterday morning. The wood burner is working overtime!

I agree with you Greg. That was a long post. It is a more complex issue than what I had to say and my intention was'nt to try to simplify it. Panzer pretty much stole my thunder on what I was going to say here. I would just emphasize that GM not only needs to improve on concept to showroom time...

My first car was a VW Beetle back in '71. Other than that, all my vehicles have been U.S. big 3. But when it comes to content, the big 3 cover the globe. Even the Harley, whose biggest selling point has been "Made in America", has significant Japenese content. If it was'nt for the big 3 we...

In Michigan the DOT are State Police. Maybe he was irrate because you asked the question in the first place. Obviously, the answer is to log how long you were there.

I have to disagree with you here Lawrence. I've done a lot for Honda, and have done a little bit for the other 2 of the Japenese Big 3. It's always the same type of stuff I haul for the U.S. Big 3. Fasteners, trim pieces, ect. We have the union to thank for this. The good news is that they have...
