    RE: Broom made a response about what your time is I agree with most of what you are saying but let me say this as a business owner who has had a lot of sucess in the past; Being savy is not an answer it is all about knowing the basics. Simply put - Setting realistic goals Knowing how much...

    Rush Limbaugh attacks Michael J. Fox

    I see what you are driving at, but it is fruitless to try to make a point where there is so much a lack of knowledge and propaganda being thrown about. As for Bush, remember that even though he may not speak very well - we have had presidents who have been worst than him when speaking.

    Team Truckin' Wanna-be's

    This thread leads me to a question, why isn't there any schools that will teach you staight truck skills? or is there? To add to the advice, I think RichM's advice is the best. You can rent under CDL trucks (GVW <26K) with air brakes to get air brake experince. I would also say if you never...

    How Do You Figure Reefer Payback?

    Not to be insulting to anyone but my accountant is laughing. I too want to get into a bigger truck, maybe with a reefer, maybe with a lift gate but going through all this stuff does not seem productive and can lead to a real big stess headache. I made my decision not based on anything other...

    Military Commisions Act of 2006

    Well you are right about the list but you left out McCain. Read some history man, the Dems have had a long history of coruption and subversion - they are the destroyers and they are the party of hate, they are the people who want to make all of us slaves. They would rather have the thought...

    Rush Limbaugh attacks Michael J. Fox

    Ok, first understand that many who want to have unfettered access to stem cell research have no proof that the present bank of stem cells needs to be expanded. They have made gains with what is there but some researchers have put more time into finding more sources of stem cells first than to...

    Tcall posted earlier about how all guns are bad in

    RE: Tcall posted earlier about how all guns are ba Guys (and Gals) I think you miss a very important point. Many of the pro-gun control people don't understand or want to understand the cause and effect of removing weapons from society - all they know is that people kill using guns - hence...

    How Do You Figure Reefer Payback?

    I think that revenue is based on the business model of the owner operator or a combination of the owner and driver. Also Deadhead to and from a location for PM and Tval would be hard to pin down for a couple reasons; one is CPM of the truck per the business model and the other reason is the...

    TallCal, You said; "The big difference between him and the guy in Australia,or Canada who decides it's the day to go crazy and execute children is the gun in the safe.No gun,no execution.Seems pretty clear to me." Well I can't speak for Australia, but Canada has a problem with gun crimes -...

    OK that makes sense but then how do you figure the cost of the reefer box/unit when you purchase a used truck? Or do you?

    How Do You Figure Reefer Payback?

    I am going ask something else that may be also an important factor - When the unit out of warantee, do you figure in the cost of an extended warantee or in Carrier's case Extended Major Component Coverage program into the cost of operating?

    Military Commisions Act of 2006

    Good evening TallCal. Well, I do see your point and Leo’s also for that matter but let’s step back on the subject for a moment to the real problems. The laws are only as good as the enforcement of the laws. I mean that until we get serious about true court reform, reinforcing a proper...

    fedex rates

    Well talking to a few other van drivers, I find that things may be picking up for them. I am optimistic about getting out of here (home) sometime before end of Tuesday but it maybe a case where I am sitting here for more than 40 hours before the phone rings. I am not complaining about this...

    CDL ?

    Outlaw, First thing is that the state of Michigan is somewhat messed up, the class C commercial license and Chauffeurs license is something that could be interchanged. The state never really defined differences between the class C and Chauffeurs license and for you to have a class C, you have...

    fedex rates

    When asked why so low, these words were used in some of the load offers; It is a contract tarif This is a contracted customer It is discounted because it is a contract tarif Is there a pattern here? Out of ten, I would say 5 had some of these words in them In a meeting we had not too...

    Entering the USA

    Mike you may have a reason that you don't have a passport but I find that there are a lot of expediters who won't get one and make a big deal out of it. I am still trying to figure out what the big deal is with people getting their passports? I mean it is easy to do; get a picture at...

    Military Commisions Act of 2006

    Well I had a nice reply for you stanley but it got lost - dont ask. First thing is that we have more to worry about than this law. Your fears are well founded but you miss one important point - we already lost a lot of rights by allowing laws, court cases and things like FISC to exist. You...
