    Cargo Van Is anyone else slow right now?

    Short wheelbase cargo van, about 80 cents is what you're gonna run in to with many carriers, unless you're with one of the larger, more reputable carriers. July is always slower for expediting. Many auto plants and suppliers are down for retooling or are running reduced shifts. Cargo van...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    The theory that it dramatically increases your odds is not one that has been proven to be correct, at least not in terms of revenue. That's why the multi-carrier model is so flawed. Carriers who participate in the multi-carrier model tend to be chiefly bottom-feeders to begin with, carriers who...

    Very few women are emotionally damaged by, or regret having abortions.

    Unless you're the father, then you certainly have earned the right for some, uhm, input.

    It's just tissue

    Yes, of course. Without question. Whenever you have sex there is a risk of getting pregnant. Contraceptives do not eliminate that risk, they merely reduce the risk. The only way to reduce the risk to zero is, well, you know, abstinence. But if you are not willing to abstain, then you must be...

    Very few women are emotionally damaged by, or regret having abortions.

    Carol Browne has exactly zero to do with abortion. While I personally believe having to endure a waiting period to exercise a right is an infringement on that right, the waiting period on a firearm purchase has proven to reduce emotionally charged purchases for the purposes of killing someone...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    LTL expedite, possibly, or as xiggi noted, a decent carrier. If the only thing you have to offer is price, that's all you'll be judged on. If it's merely exclusive use of the truck and the delivery guarantee is only quasi important, then the cheapest price may be all that matters, but if...

    How should I call this, sabotage or discrimination?

    There are always three sides to every story. And it's virtually impossible to be completely objective when telling your side, even when you think are. Particularly when there may be factors at play of which you are competently unaware.

    It's just tissue

    Keeping in mind that I am most definitely pro choice, that statement is 180 degrees the exact opposite of responsible. Responsible is accepting the consequences of your actions, not erasing them so you don't have to. Abortion is what it is, let's not try and nobilize it to the point of...

    Keep in mind that those two 60 cent bids which you didn't get may not have gone to cheaper bidders.

    The FMCSA medical board also has an interest in the many other health aspects of the American trucker. But that in no way diminishes or dismisses their vested interested in sleep studies. The same holds true for the Bixby Center.

    Cargo Van Cargo Van Weight Limit???

    I have a bucket with a 5 gallon capacity. How much should I put in there? 5 gallons? 6? 8? :p

    That's why I suggested you flash them, instead. :D

    #FlashATruckerFriday

    I think Akks should start a new trend, of him flashing women drivers as he drives down the road. "Hey, officer! Look, wait. What are you doing? Women flash me all the time. I'm just returning the favor. Ouch! That hurts! What's the stun fun for?"

    Very few women are emotionally damaged by, or regret having abortions.

    The same reason the FMCSA medical board has a vested interest in having truck drivers undergo sleep testing, that's the business they are in. The Bixby Center's bread and butter is contraception and abortion. They're funded to do both, and the more they can do the more funding they get.

    They have to be punished somehow. Requiring it seems reasonable. <snort>
