ONLY when they bother to look at who is, or is not, compliant. We are flagged 'not compliant' but get one or two load offers for California each month. They do, of course, count against us as "turn downs".

We may WANT more money, BUT, we are NOT SEEING more money. Rates continue to drop on those high value, temp control, loads. Hard to justify a truck that costs upwards near a quarter of a million dollars in an atmosphere of over regulation and declining returns.

They don't want it to work. This is ONLY a step to total government controlled health care. You have not seen taxes yet until that happens. We will soon see a MINIMUM 50% FEDERAL income tax, a "VAT" and tons of other "stealth" taxes. This is ALL designed to keep us in our place, under control...

NO California. We are researching other options. Costs are going up and rates are going down. Soon it will no longer be profitable to continue in this business. At least not how we are doing it right now. Too many silly regulations are adding to the mix that make this business less attractive...

We DID have good, usable, affordable health care PRIOR to Obama Care. We were lied too, we are NOT allowed to keep plans that we have now and like. Our current premium is $287 per month, $2500 deductible. NOW we are seeing rates closer to $660 per month for a HIGHER deductible and less usable...

I like it when they KNOW you are unable to accept loads, we were not able to clear the border and there was no time estimate on when we would clear, and they STILL were sending out load offers, bad load offers, that we had to turn down. It ONLY took 3 phone calls to get that stopped.

Don't know, we have been out of the country. Will be checking on that later today. I will pass it along.

Delivered this morning in MD after a nightmare at the QC/NY border. Took 28 hours to fix it. Lost a good load in the process because we were unable to pick it up due to the border mess. Now headed up to PA for a Mon pickup to OH. It is SO nice to be back where they speak 'Mercian again!

Medical condition? Drugs? Drunk? Too many strange hand/arm movements. Seemed lost, confused. Maybe it was not a good idea to wake him up and let him drive in the first place. Should have called EMS before waking him up.

Sure looked to be more that just asleep.

According to this article there have been 14 MILLION health insurance policies cancelled due to Obama Care. That may be a greater number cancelled than new policies issued to before plan uninsured. We could very well end up with FEWER Americans covered that before Obama Care was forced on us...

What kind of straight truck? Dry box? Reefer? What qualifications? $2.50 is a good starting point but hardly a fair rate.

Finished up in NYC. It was a MESS today. Two working fires on Broadway. Fire trucks were having problems getting to one of the fires and firefighters were having to walk three blocks, in full gear, just to reach the scene. Now in NJ, picking up here in bit, heading for QC. Then tomorrow, if...

Soon to finish our ON to NY load. Then it is NJ to QC, then tomorrow it's QC to MD.

LOL! Watch out for that thin ice!

A person's time is a commodity that can be bought and sold. In my case, I have FAR less time available to me than I did at 25. THEREFOR, since my time is a rare, and getting more rare with each passing minute, it is worth FAR more than it used to be. At the rate it's going, it will not be long...

Not just immigration.

There are the real problems too. We are both over 60, health problems are more real with each passing year. No real insurance, age, is a recipe for disaster. I just felt like I was kicked in the balls, twice, once when our policy got cancelled and again when I saw what we were going to have...

They can kiss my .................. :mad: No more! I am done. I have no more in my budget. IF they are not going to hold the "Liar in Chief" feet to the fire and restore what we CAN afford, well, the hell with them. You can't get blood out of a rock.

"I found this on the web. Trying to figure out where all the entitlement programs and mandated programs fit in this. Seems they are providing not promoting. Guess that's what gets the votes!" What we have is laziness and irresponsibility being rewarded and hard word and responsible living being...
