    How is your week?

    I was thinking the same thing. I believe it was Nightcreacher? Maybe selective standards?

    I received the call, from US Xpress

    My understanding was that it was expedite. But if the van rate is .70 per mile and a .15 fsc, might as well be LTL.

    Voters say Washington is worse than Wall St

    Other than wanting things for free, I haven't heard anything that they want. They say they want liberty and when ask what that means, the reporters get blank stares.

    Looking for a Broker

    I really think a read through some posts is a excellent idea. The minute one says they dropped 20k on Sprinter repairs and has been doing this for four years is a wake up call. Don't for a minute think you are too good to learn from some folks that know that side of the business. I have...

    I received the call, from US Xpress

    Just a FYI One of my brokers I work with said they will be adding some units to cover the Christmas rush via Amazon. Sounds somewhat seasonal based on the information I heard. May want to check that out prior to pulling the trigger. There's my community service announcement for the day. :)

    What now?

    They are pretty common. If they were real, I would have been thrown in jail years ago. The real ones will only come US mail.

    Occupy Wall Street?

    I don't know of a plan that would be 100 percent everywhere. But at least it is better than the foolishness we have now. Just passing out checks leads to more of, passing out checks. Not sure one would have to go "through the system" to figure that out. Granted it may put them in a job...

    Occupy Wall Street?

    There are some obstacles for some, but I do like the idea Gingrich is pushing. Two years of unemployment, but you must take classes for a career that actually has a demand. If one elects not to attend, they get nothing. Help people help themselves. What a concept.

    Carriers and privacy

    I would probably take the easy route and just ask them.

    Occupy Wall Street?

    I don't know Cheri. I don't think you are going to fix a thing until people take on some personal responsibility. Everyone wants to start at the top with big money and little effort. When jobs are offered, people either won't relocate to them or it is beneath them to take a lower wage. Easier...

    Lil red truck poping noise

    After 95 they started using aluminum bushings on the springs. Those are now replaced with brass ones. Not too hard and not a expensive repair.

    Jacking truck prices up.

    I believe much of it is driven by new high priced junk. Nice looking trucks that have questionable reliability. I believe that is what is driving the used market. When JD Powers states 67 of 100 new trucks are plagued with problems, that is going to drive the used pre-emissions market.

    We O/O's have to MAKE a profit

    They tend to be the same questions when the origin is from the same person.;)

    Is Herman Cain the new target?

    Really no clue. Just reporting the news.

    Is Herman Cain the new target?

    NBC news is reporting on Nightly News that Herman Cain is now the GOP frontrunner.

    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    Well that is true. They have been good for the stock investor. Although I did hear this week that Fred said their revenue projections were dropping. Still a good stock in my opinion.

    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    Just for the sake of clarity, might have had a impact at Roberts, but not so much at the Fed. Our length of time on the latter was short lived. When it became apparent that they were going a different direction we left. Their perception of a fleet owner/carrier relationship was and still is much...

    Reagan Rule

    Under Reagan corporate taxes were cut and taxes were raised on the lower half in addition to cutting out some of the tax shelters. Under Obama, it is just have the ones 200K and up pay more. On investments, it is 15 percent, but a income tax was already paid on the initial money it took to...
