    Interesting observation

    Some one really nailed this down correctly.... This is very interesting! I never thought about it this way. Perhaps this is why so many physicians are conservatives or Republicans. The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers’ Party. Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is...

    got screwed

    It does beg the question as well as to whether the owner was force dispatching you? Why would you take a load to an area with 13 trucks already there? Then follow to an area that had eleven?

    Be Mature

    I would have to disagree with your post and its implication. The idea that Christians are immature is based on what? Some may be, but not any more than any other sectors of society. I also don't believe they find themselves any more of a vitims role than any other group. I don't think your...

    More jobs bite the dust..1,500

    Seems like a simple solution. According to Obama's whitehouse site, they created 50 jobs with one lawnmower. Take some of that stimulus money and build a half million of them and the unemployment problem will disappear.:cool:

    Need a Reality Check

    One thing I do wonder about, if we drive for a fleet owner, how could we end up with loads that cause us to go in the hole? I read that somewhere. I thought the owner paid all expenses for the vehicle repair and fuel and that most pay the drivers 40% of the revenue, so how can you lose money? I...

    Have a few questions about bolt??

    Probably would have been a good idea to ask these questions PRIOR to signing on with someone.

    Just like the Energizer Bunny

    Thanks for the update. I loved the posts you did during the building process. Thought it was the perfect setup then, and you really confirmed what many thought. I would still go your route long before I would get a Sprinter.

    Bad brake job, have some Q's..

    Never heard of brakes needing to burn to be adjusted? Might have been the bearings were too tight and they were smoking. Have to go back and adjust them properly if they aren't damaged. If so, replace the bearings again.

    Banned Member Reaches A New Low....

    You would think some would have something better to do. Sadly, some don't.

    Am I Getting Ripped A New 1?

    In his case no. Everything is in the owners name. The owner would get ALL of the write offs. At this 45 percent, it is a overinflated wage that he can't write anything against, thus my recommendation of 20 percent wage and that is it. His only real write off would be the daily per diem. There...

    Am I Getting Ripped A New 1?

    The owner is cleaning his clock because he is taking the write-offs for all the expenses and the truck yet charging the driver for a half that he can't write off. . He says it is a 2005. A whole lot of repairs can be racked up on a vehicle of that year that this guy would be paying a portion of...

    is there any hope for cargo vans

    When I look at the investment verses what they generate, I would have to agree.

    is there any hope for cargo vans

    I believe there is a place for just about every size truck. Just a matter of how it is utilized.

    Rent To Own!!

    Ok....I'll guess I'll have to answer this one. There is NO truck rental program going on at Panther. This is from Jeff St. Pierre this morning. Sorry, but it doesn't exist, and no plans in the future for it to happen. There are lease purchases available from some fleet owners. You can call...

    My truck was abandoned

    Well witness23 sometimes you will get those responses when partial information is provided. If you look at the first post and then look at post 25 that actually explains all the circumstances, it became much clearer. It took almost 24 hours to get to what really happened. Thus, the reason for...

    Saying Good Bye to Trucking

    Really sorry to hear about the sudden loss. As others mentioned, I would take time for yourself and then look at it when the time is right. You guys have been great over the years. He will certainly be missed.

    GOP Health Bill Analysis

    It is 1998 pages. They stopped at 1174. They forgot to read almost half of it. Kinda like those people in congress. They haven't read the whole thing.
