I would have thought that $1.40, including FSC, was kinda low. I was not comparing it to TVAL rates. $2.69 could be a good rate, depending on the load. If included a long DH out it would not be all that good. It is quite easy to lose money on a load that pays $2.69 per mile. I wonder what that...

Is it just me but does anyone else find the rates being quoted in this thread rather low? :confused:

Take up what with McDonald's? You are right, no one should be paying for their health care, except themselves. Our government is the primary cause for the lack of jobs. There are, however, plenty of jobs out there. One just has to have the skills and go where they are. They are STILL...

So what? That has nothing to do with what individual franchise owners are paying their employees or how well those franchises are doing. Those who work at those placed don't work for McDonald's or Burger King. They are employed by the franchise owner. Those franchises are operating a razor thin...

What are the individual franchise owners making? They are the ones who the cry babies are striking against. McDonald's does not pay their wages. There is no context there.

It's 77 here, never made it to 80. I am NOT looking forward to driving into hot nasty weather again.

Or it could be "riggers".

Nothing has changed. It was very bad in the '70's. I got out of the army in '73. Could not find a REAL job so I worked several at one time to make it. When that stopped working out, I moved to find work. My grandparents moved from Europe to find work. My Dad moved from PA to MI after WWII for...

They are, for the most part, individual franchises. These duds are not striking McDonald's or Burger King. Walmart is a much different animal and it is not comparable. These "organizers" are nothing but Obama shills, running around, causing trouble, continuing the class warfare BS. All for...

I learned to nap in basic training. I often nap while waiting on freight. One trick is not to plan to sleep. I just lay down and wait. I often just drift off.

We had problems like that. Took several times to find it. The M2 has wires laying against the frame, often unprotected. Several had worn through the insulation. Good luck.

Welfare is not a government function. Much of the mess we are in is because of the welfare state. The idea of personal responsibility has been forgotten by many. What makes people think that because they CHOOSE not to have needed skills or refuse, for what ever reason, to move work that pays...

Spent parts of the last two days working on my boat. I put on 4 sets of Bert's track and rod holders. 4 ratcheting and 2 fixed rod holders. I bought the stuff at a place called Northwoods Outlet in Pinconning, Michigan. The Bert's ratcheting rod holders are $92 every place else, they were...

If all you do is beat a dog when it does wrong, never reward that dog for doing right, that dog will, sooner or later, end up biting you.

Why does that not surprise me? :p

You are no fun today, I am PICKING on you! LOL!!:p No, this is not "business". This is being organized by leftist (Obama bums) community organizers. It would not surprise me to find that it is being funded by taxpayer dollars. They care about those workers about as much as they did that...

It represents Hilary and Huma. NO self respecting WOMAN would stay with disgusting scum like their husbands are. That makes them no better than the crud they are married too. Just a couple of political "gold diggers". (there are other words that fit better than "gold digger" but I am in a...

I did NOT say anything about "Canadian". You have a complex about that :p The socialist part is the idea that EVERY job should pay a "living wage". That is sheer BaLoWkNeE! Jobs should pay ONLY what the product or service that covers that wage can support and still allow for the owner to make a...

Sounds like you have a problem understanding value vs. skills vs need. They is zero comparison between a expedite cargo van driver or a burger flipper. I think the REAL problem is that you are so steeping in the socialist all is equal doctrine that you can't see the forest for the baseballs. :p

The auto industry has not been small franchises, other than some dealerships, for a VERY long time. Fast food stores are often individual small business, not much different in many ways than a one truck expediter. Yes, markets change, there is always change. Change seldom comes without a lot...
