    Fuel Surcharge & Carrier Obligation

    Lot of gaming going on out there. Some worse than others. I guess your reference of $1.12 per mile is directed at a MI based carrier.

    Equiptment use fees

    I'm not saying one way or the other is set in stone. In our case, one of the three is a specific tax attorney. Or, how do you argue with the actual IRS agent? Very tough call as much is open to interpretation. Certainly not trying to dispute someone elses experience. Funny we have a different...

    Fuel prices

    Value of the dollar is becoming a bigger problem every day. As DC keeps racking up the debt, the value of the dollar drops. Since its value is less, it takes more dollars to buy the same barrel of foreign oil. Of course we are so smart we give billions in loan guarantees to Brazil so they in...

    Equiptment use fees

    I would side with Bruno on this based on previous IRS audits. Many parts are really open to interpretation from a field agent. We use two attorneys. One is a hired gun and the other is a family member. It is more of a matter of adding layers. One can call the IRS with a question ten times...

    If a bulletin was issued I would at least get it covered under a warranty repair.

    Problem with van

    I don't know if it is common as I haven't seen this problem posted. Keep in mind that I don't drive a van but know a thing or two that may give a point to look at. If they changed the converter, then I would proceed to the yoke, drive shaft (could have thrown a factory weight), u-joints, and...

    Removing and Locking Out Threads

    I hope the folks complaining are preparing & sending the moderators investigative fees. Investigating he said and she saids is time consuming and expensive. Waiting on the check at the mailbox. :rolleyes:

    Business tax cuts don’t spur more capital spending, study shows

    It isn't just the federal tax. It is a combination of that and state. Illinois just raised the state corp tax to 35 percent. They are paying that plus the federal. That is the reason Cat wants out of IL. When the US is competitive with foreign countries on those investment dollars, the money...

    Removing and Locking Out Threads

    Darn. And just when we thought everyone was happy. On the serious side. Posts that involve personal problems between a carrier and driver just don't work. One doesn't know who is right or wrong and if you allow one, then you allow others and before too long, we would be investigating every...

    A Natural High When Driving a Truck; Do You Get it Too?

    Using a tailpipe as a personalized bong? Hadn't thought of that.

    POLL: Did You Have ANY Delivery Experience BEFORE Expediting

    Have to admit, that is funny.

    Business tax cuts don’t spur more capital spending, study shows

    Investment dollars are on the rise because of a variety of factors including but not limited to previous tax cuts. The reality is much of the investment is moved overseas because they pay little or no taxes on that investment income.

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    That would be my thinking in the rare instance it ever came up.

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    Then leave it there. We do Elite loads acrossed numerous trucks all the time and never have this problem. Just don't see it as an issue that serves 140 plus posts.

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    Has to be an EO first. 140 plus posts dealing with throwing a pallet in the trash. Nothing like complicating the simple.

    DPF and cummins ISC

    We had ours replaced with new ones. Of the new, one was leaking. Had to have that replaced. It may be because they don't have new ones on the shelf and have to order them.

    And that is why you hire or obtain an attorney.

    What is a "hex aS backup" company? Your post makes no sense.

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    I'm still going with the blood pressure as the unique qualifier.
