    Yes it is sad, I think the guy was rather entertaining and put a spin on educating kids. To my surprise there was a few minutes of contemplation on the local tv today on how such a animal rights avocate and VIP could meet with such a horrible demise (ISYN) - goes to show Detroit TV is still...

    rough starting out

    Earl, Sometimes it is a b*tch starting out and you got to just live with it. I would suggest you try this for a while - as long as you are paying the bills and makes some money and see where it leads. As I learned a long time ago, sometimes the situations that you don't like lead to bigger and...

    A little confused at the ad, what does this mean? "There is a fee, but there is no cost" Isn't a fee a cost? I have three different discount cards that I don't really use and put in the SDB so my wife don't get any ideas. Two were provided by my employer and one I received when I owned part...

    gps antenna

    I assume that CO-Pilot is a PC based package. If it is and you plug the GPS unit into the USB or Serial port then I would have to say YES it should work. I have two GPS units, on came with S&T and the other I found in a parking lot. Both work rather well with all my software.

    Finding your own loads

    Well As t-hawk said Panther would have said too bad and may also terminated your lease. The thing that I am wondering about is what if you get caught carrying household goods in your truck and the carrier is not registered to do so? Also thinking about this, the insurance maybe different on...

    Are you true owner operator? with FCC

    Dave, I see your point but I have had one problem where the idea that calling the customer would make it a big mess. It is far easier to let dispatch handle it and blame them for a screw up than to hear the customer telling you to leave and not return.

    Are you true owner operator? with FCC

    I would rather not talk to the customer directly, If there is something wrong or i say od misunderstand something, it could mean I lose money. I would rather have the burden on FedEx to straighten up the mess.

    Phil, I am surprise - ouch. Well I am not going to defend FedEx, but as someone who is used to working with and for very large companies - this is life in the real big business world. I won't say anything else because I will p*ss people off.
