It costs a LOT to live on the road. You WILL have bad days, weeks months or even years, you have to be able to live through those times. If you come in too light and hit a bad patch right away you will be in trouble.

How does it apply to this thread?

LOL Welcome to the forums. No, most old timers are not telling you to stay out to protect their runs. Things have changed drastically since this form of trucking started. You will see different ideas on what is a "good" year or "bad" year depending on who writes it, how long they have been in...

What is this book about? I have never made it through a Gresham book yet, so how about a brief idea so we know why this applies to this thread?

We have not finished our books out but I believe that this was our best year since we went into business despite all the "stuff" that happened. Our gross was up, all rates were up and our net was up.

I am SO happy to hear that your son is home safe and sound. I know how happy and relieved you must feel.

Vigilantism MIGHT not work but what we have now is NOT working. We have to stop excusing criminal activity. By the way, how do you propose that a 60 year old man "restrain" a 16 year old punk who is high on PCP? A 16 year old punk with a rap sheet as long as I75 and is STILL not locked up for...

In Michigan? Not likely. There is a VERY good chance that he will get reamed by the courts and sued by that THIEF'S family!! I mean, after all, not allowing him to rob and steal takes away their income!! They surviving family will be forced to become drug dealers or thieves themselves to...

You are right, you can't run them down and kill them. You SHOULD be allowed to run them down and STOP them, WITHOUT endangering YOUR life! Even in my home and on my property I would PREFER to "shoot to disable" but then I am likely to be sued by the THIEF!! Strange, thieves have MORE "RIGHTS"...

LOL!! Now tell us how you REALLY feel!!! Welcome to the forums!

Everyone has a RIGHT to defend their lives and property. Many areas have usurped that right. It has become very clear that the "authorities" are NOT able to protect everyone, every house at all times. I would have NO problem stopping a thief from stealing what I legally own. I would have NO...

Not the same. Under the current policy they must keep their sexuality to themselves. That will NOT be the same when they are in the open. Don't misunderstand, I am NOT opposed to gay men serving openly. I AM opposed to this repeal without a policy already in place. Most of the current serving...

So now women can't complain about men in their showers? No Greg, it is NOT as simple as you might think. Being in the military does NOT require a total giving up of everything. They are still human. Without the PROPER policies, in place PRIOR to implimintation, there WILL be problems. I have...

Any run that take us out to the Seattle area so we can see our son and granddaughter.

Just wait, vegan meals will be demanded soon. It is getting just too goofy out there.

I wonder just how much all those new shower facilities are going to cost, or are ALL barracks going to become unisex? I can hear the women's groups on that one! Men are going to be FORCED to shower with gay men, why can't women shower in the men's? This is NOT going to be as easy as Obama THINKS...

It will be interesting. and VERY costly. New barracks, regs etc. It will take time. This will happen but it will NOT be easy.

Maybe this should be moved to the SoapBox. MANY things in trucking, and most other things that involve government regulation, overlap forums. It is hard to confine some subjects to one forum or another. Regulation, by it's very nature. is there to control. Control behavior, or actions or...
