    Cut/GUT the Military Budget??????

    Think I would cut all Federal employees pay long before the military. But in all fairness, they need to get the spending under control in numerous places.

    Some honest questions about FSC

    As I said in another thread. One will know that law exists when companies do away with fixed or flat rate FSC programs. The ones that engage in those programs are usually keeping a portion of it. It is true that it is the bottom line dollar per mile that makes the biggest difference...

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    Bingo. Someone gets it. You will know when it changes when companies do away with fixed or flat rate fuel surcharges. Where do you think that excess money goes? Certainly not the one paying for the fuel.

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    The same as Phil in wishing you a better start. In the meantime, you are going to have to get a better grip on what you are doing. Based on past performance I would advise when seeking advice, check several places for confimation of your findings. Greg and Phil are correct. The points are...

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    May want to talk to these other teams and see what their situation is. That many violations should have been addressed by you. If the owner fails to correct them, You have a problem. No excuse for junk equipment assuming this is a legit post. If a truck has violations/or soon to be, that...

    barry set for more embarassment in Europe

    I do think we are at a point were the tax system needs a total overhaul. But, I think the only change coming is more IRS agents to collect for Obamacare. Maybe we will luck out and the funding for that gets scrapped.

    OOIDA Trucking Facts

    It depends. If things stay as they currently are, I believe it will be a good thing through rate increases. The big IF will be what happens with NAFTA and immigration issues. Make no mistake, when a shortage is apparent, many companies will be looking for that cheap (no DOT history) kind of...

    OOIDA Trucking Facts

    I think OOIDA is right in saying there isn't a current shortage. The article is correct in saying the winds are blowing in a way you know one is coming.

    barry set for more embarassment in Europe

    I think we have to care what China thinks because as Obama & Nancy keeps racking up the debt, China becomes a bigger player in our financial picture.

    Sleep apnea test ????

    This was addressed in another thread. Call recruiting as they had this for a short period of time and retracted from doing it.

    Sleep apnea test????

    Just a FYI I would recheck with Panther recruiting. That policy is no longer in effect.

    Who should pay?

    I would agree with that. I do require that once a team is in the truck, they get it weighed so we actually know what the truck is at prior to putting a load on it. Anything else should have been completed before it is picked up.

    Who should pay?

    If one can't afford to get to the truck, probably not quite the right time to be doing this.
