I don't like Molson so I would send him away, dog or no dog. :D

Yeah, formal recognition is OK, more money per load is better!! Carriers could do much, but that would require an imagination and a willingness to want to do something. There are far too many out there willing to jump in and take our spot if we leave. The carrier is not all that worried, warm...

Had to struggle? LOL! You mean STILL struggling!! :eek: That is not strange when large companies are involved. I am not saying that it is how it should be or even right, that is just how it is. When it gets too bad the company will start having problems with contractors, in our business, or...

We have the possibility of a hard freeze here, Sunday and Monday nights. Temps could get down to below 30 in some areas. Still too early to plant gardens. Not that we ever do being on the road all time.

Normal for many businesses. Throughout much of my life I seldom heard from bosses unless it was negative. Once a year you would get a silly "performance review". They were often "inflated" with "outstanding" rating for everyone. Performance rating should be done on an almost weekly basis...

I feel you pain. I am starting to feel like Greece. I wonder when those of us who have been bailing out big companies and countries are going to be bailed out?

These days I would not only get on the cell but if I was in the "big truck" I would hit the panic button. Thanks for the info.

Please give us some more info on this no stop thing. My wife was told in no uncertain terms by a PA State Trooper that she was REQUIRED to stop or she would be arrested. This was after I told her never to stop, more so at night, for an unmarked car. I told her to drive to a police station or...

That is more like it should be. The customs etc is Federal the rest either private or State owned. Keep the feds in their cages.

Well, at least they have a roof. :rolleyes: People in the '30's, often had little prior to the crash so losing a little was not as hard as it would be on today's spoiled babies. Also, back then at least in those people that I know, family was the main thing in life, NOT toys and "things" My...

Oh, I agree that the recovery is a sham and times will get MUCH harder. We have yet to see REALLY hard times. The BIG difference between the 1930's and now is people, generally speaking, were not nearly as spoiled and lazy as they are today. They also pitched in to HELP each other, planted...

Don't know, we have been out of service for a while. We did get a call a 6 this morning asking us to go back in service a day early. We were not able to help. Back up and running tomorrow.

Yeah, they are a cancer. The more we help and coddle them the more the tumor grows.

I ran into 2 at Laird Hot Springs in the Yukon a few years ago when we had that Alaska run. They said that "hoboing" was easy in Canada.

Don't forget West Memphis, those stops there are crawling with them.

And their lice, bacteria and viruses.

Europe does not react too well to things like this. The "sheeple" over there are so "programed" to their "freebies" that they are unable to cope without them. There have already been riots in Greece, a long time socialist country, there are reports of a few deaths as well. When Peter is unable...

The choice part is when we "salve our souls" at the truck stops and give them money or let them "work" for some. The "other" is properly discussed in that "other" forum. :D I have seen my share of "bums" up in Canada. They move up there in summer, then down south in the winter. They follow the...

AND often get welfare and food stamps and we fools subsidize them, by choice or otherwise.
