Hey, I am wondering why people run their sentances together when typing? Everyone is not a Steinbeck or Shakespeare and this is just a forum, not a MESA meeting. Sorry, I appoligize, I could not help that.

Ok I am inspired by the Hollywood types and just finished watching Cameron Diaz on the TV talking about how important it is to become Carbon Neutral, so I thought about this for a while and realize that with the property I own and my friends’ property with all the trees we have planted on all...

Well Actually the law that says we have to pay does exist, not a falicy that many would like many to believe. The admendment was passed to allow the laws to be codified and these laws are in Title 26, Internal Revenue Code. Many of you don't realize that our tax system is unique in many...

Steve, Maybe I mis-understood you, but many times a lot of these new drivers don't know their limitations which makes them very dangerous. One reason I am all for drivers licenses at 18 instead of 16(14 in some states for hardship cases) is that many kids have no clue about their limitations...

I can not believe anyone, I mean anyone would turn over a vehicle to someone outside of a friend, relative or employee without a contract. I have a lot of horror stories I can tell about equipment and problems that are directly related to the issue of a lack of a solid contract. Many people...

Favorite movies? So many so little time. Oh boy…. I got a long list but most are older films but a few are relatively new. Here is the short list - Stalag 17 Twelve O'Clock High The Lady Killers (the original with Alec Guinness, but the Tom Hanks version is almost as good) Monsieur...

One issue that I heard about from D-C is the design of the mounting of the headlights themselves where they multiply the vibrations of the road that the bulbs take. I know that the van is not intended for the cr*ppy roads we have here in the states and a few things have been changed to reflect...

Well I got to say that the level of professionalism in trucking is sure low. After reading about this, I came to the conclusion that there are absolutely no mitigating circumstances where there would be a need to feel sorry for the truck driver. He killed someone because of his stupid judgment...

Yep nothing more invigorating than having a 29,000 lb truck end up in the ditch during a snow storm because you can't see a d*mn thing out your windshield. Yep, you are the man, be proud. LOL S A F E T Y F I R S T

Cheri, Between the two runs I got ten of the 'are you loaded yet' questions. Terry, I am not only dock high but also have the required height for the box. The only thing I could see was the inside height of the box, where the ones carrying the racks were higher. They too were lifted to the dock.

Last night I had back to back auto loads (I jinxed myself by saying that FedEx doesn’t focus on auto shipments), the first being transmission parts and the second being a special tooling both for a downed production lines. The first one went as it usually does, everyone is working when I...

I have cingular or is it AT&T? What ever it is, I have dropped calls a lot but I also have the da*n phone forward my calls to my VM box which is not set up. I have worked with Cingular to fix this problem and they have concluded on 4 seperate occasions that I; need a new phone, need a new phone...

They closed I80 again? I was stuck doing the detour thing up 11 to 29 over to 81 to bypass everything last week. It was nasty but not enough to have a nice drive up 11 with 150 other trucks. Not to berate you in any way but you should pull over in a safe place and wait out the weather. No...

OVM - "The the CAW here since they disconnected themselves from the UAW are heads and hands above the UAW in so far as working with companies and governments for concessons and the such." Yes, I agree with this 100%. The UAW - Gettlefinger to be exact, finally admitted to the failure of the...

I can't speak for wingnut's situation but I can tell you what personal use means to me - simply that they use it for a purpose other than what they are contracted for. I know that this is a little different but the same in a way; I have had employees who for what ever reason decided to take the...

Well Canada is a foreign country, not part of the US. The products built in Canada are foreign products - not domestic products. The workforce is equal to the US workforce. No better, no worse. The reason that Cananda is seeming to employ more people is the export agreements are different...

>He did get elected. Who?

RE: Independent Contractors/owner operators: what' You're welcome. But I do have a suggestion which comes from a newbie looking around the site and asked to pass on, please add a signature line saying who you are and what company you represent. She seems to be confused of who is a recruiter...
