Yeah, there's a fine line between refusing to run cheap, and in letting the fleet dry on the vine. Pick it while the picking's good instead of being too picky.

If the carrier or the customer is willing to pay the ferry toll, I'ma do it.

Here's a thought... instead of Saturdays, between now and Christmas for the Twelve Days of Christmas, you could watch these 12 Christmas-themed movies, one each night.

"America isn't even tryyyyiiiiinnggggggg!" I've read that little whine du jour in at least a dozen articles over the past 2 weeks. In every case, it's not about gun control that will actually do something, that will have an impact on mass shootings (that have been going on for decades, BTW)...

Laredo, Tejas is a close second.

:welcome1: :givemechocolate:

I didn't go in and take the tour, I just drove by it. Definitely worth driving by. The traffic waiting to get into the place was just nuts. Looked like about a 30 minute wait to get in. I'm parked less than a mile away, in preparation for an early AM pickup. I looked it up...Remaining days are...

Dr. Everett Piper, the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University finally had enough with everyone trying so hard to be offended. "This is not a day care. This is a university!" is how he put it. Basically, he told his university students to grow up, grow a pair, suck it up, and deal with it...

That's true. For most carriers of any size. The dispatchers and most everyone else in the office lives on email. They can read and respond.in seconds whereas a phone call can be minutes,so email is the priority. Plus, someone on hold will eventually go away, but not those emails.

Well, the Detroit Zoo is certainly all lit up and festive. Pretty awesome.

Homeland Security will be wanting to interview you very soon.

It's what we do best here at EO, shatter people's dreams. :D We're just bluntly honest here, because sometimes that's what it takes to jolt people back into reality. Yes, all recruiters lie, but these days, especially in expediting with far fewer opening truck slots than applicants, they don't...

Well, gee, I don't know. I don't know who "they" is, what carrier they work for, if "they" is the recruiter or the fleet owner, and I don't know everything that Leo posted in Post #5, followed up by Wolfeman in Post #6. Are you getting 40% on a 60/40 split, or is it 50/50, or 70/30? Is the line...

Per driver? Probably not. Combined? Sure.

Don't Mess with Texas

For a fun experience, like Tom Sawyer, there's the Dorena-Hickman Ferry that across the Mississippi River between, oddly enough, Dorena, MO and Hickman, KY. Missouri and Kentucky are the only two border states in the US that aren't directly connected by a road (because you need to know important...

One million dollars. That's what it would take. And even then I'm gonna want a perk or something.

Well, driving through Chicago from Manitowoc to Ludington is a stress-filled, harrowing 6½ to 7 hours. The boat trip across the lake is a leisurely 4 hours, plus you probably need to be there an hour before the boat leaves and it's probably an hour by the time they get you off the boat on the...
