Gingrich is ahead in most polls but I doubt he will be able to hold it. As boring as he is, I don't think I would count Romney out only because he has deep pockets and hasn't really tapped much of it yet. Have to admit, I like the Obama-Lite comparison.

That is why we are the world's police. :rolleyes:

That would also be the position of the current administration. Obama has been against them on this since he has been in there.

They probably will get sued by someone over this depending on how it is implemented. On the surface it appears to be another enhanced revenue program.

As I said earlier, you still have to have probably cause, contrary to another post. Now of course, that can be abused, but as I mentioned earlier, it is tougher through the use of a dash-cam. Still a lot of abuse either through simple Barney Fifes to promotional cash grabs that cities enforce...

I am sure that is true, but I have to think there is less of it because of the police dash cams.

That is correct on the police dog. That doesn't give a automatic green light to a search. Maybe in Chicago?:rolleyes: As for Chicago, it has a rich history of corruption that goes back decades. A google search will bring more hits than one could read in a day.

It is all about the money.

We met the same way at one of the expos. Wishing you both all the best through a challenging time.

I would say Phil is correct as things are a changing. One likely sees some movement in percentages with a larger fleet owner because their overhead is higher and climbing. Especially when you start adding non driving positions, that revenue must come from somewhere. Truck pricing and some...

As far as I know unless you are doing a LTL or courier load.

Welcome to the right side of things here at EO. We have known each other for a long time, and you are right, there are some bad apples out there. The good news is they seem to be shrinking in numbers.

Some people pay for that experience. :eek:

Good luck, I am sure you will do ok. Just relax and have fun.

You can't have it both ways. You complain about not being home, followed by it is your choice to stay out. It is not a employee/contractor issue. It is a response to your posts. For some reason, you come across as if you are unhappy and getting screwed? No one is saying you don't work hard and...

Gee...I must be the only one? If a truck is in a accident and is not at fault, I don't charge the driver. If it is the fault of another driver, the fleet owner sure recover their losses via the insurance carrier. If it is the driver that ran it in the ditch, then they should be responsible for...

Well, I wouldn't be one to deny you anything, but I believe you need balance which based on your post is lacking. If accurate and only being home 8 days for the year would be a problem. I would shut your truck down and send you home to recharge. I think that is the source of your problem...

Are you sure you are in the right profession? Just an observation.

That will likely be followed by free bus rides provided at the taxpayers expense. What kind of people would we be if we didn't make it easy for them. :rolleyes:

Panther will usually pay the tolls. Just have to request it at the time of the run and send the receipts in. They did say no a few times, and we just decline the load. All in all, they are pretty reasonable with it.
