    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    If it has been that long, think I would hire an attorney. Most will work on a contingency if it is a fair amount of money. Also, they might take you a little more seriously if they get a payment demand from a attorney.

    What has our Goverment

    Quite a bit if you are one that pays no taxes.

    just some thoughts

    It is really hard to tell where that breaking point is. Just now starting to see these tea parties, but I think they will have to get much bigger to be effective. Maybe that will happen when folks actually have to start paying for all the spending? Right now it seems so many are stuck in that...

    just some thoughts

    Yep...the new carb tax that is coming will be a nice additional tax everyone is going to pay that no one talks about. The only difference is, it will be paid through the pump and your utilities. I really think this country is in need of a third party. I think it is the only thing that will...

    9 week shutdown

    They need to put a little space of time in before receiving the next requested bailout that we all know is coming. NBC is reporting the 9 weeks is just GM. It will be interesting to see if others follow.

    Using the F word... fair warning

    Surprisingly, most of the illegal immigrants aren't in agriculture. That may change with the economy, but most were in the service and construction industry prior to the economy tanking. As for entitlement programs, I believe it was 35 percent shouldn't be on them. This was prior to the...

    explain how this is fair

    I believe on vans it changed March 1st. It only applies to new contracts which is your case even though you have been there for awhile. Not sure if they would make an exception or not?

    So you wanna be an expediter?

    Didn't think of that.Once again I have overlooked the obvious.:D

    Using the F word... fair warning

    I would say Turtle is spot on. I think he stole that from me. Our illegal immigrant problem is a testament to it. We had numerous jobs available several years ago, and too many "didn't wanna". Rather than actually working for or towards something, too many feel they are entitled to it right...

    Using the F word... fair warning

    I think you have a twisted sense of economics. The "rich" as you call them, are the ones that create the wealth and jobs. Those "outrageous prices" are the result of a high tax system on business that supports the "reduction in crime, teen pregnancy, drug programs ect". Hate to be harsh, but...

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    If they were switching from a bi-weekly program to paying weekly, wouldn't that put your money in your hand faster? Not sure why that would stall money already due? Just an observation.

    How do you get rid of pet oder??

    Pet odors can be lurking a lot of places. Depending on the truck, I would change all of the interior air filters. There is a filter or a additional trap on your bunk blower and likely one if you have a genset. We used a removable mattress cover that can be washed if your dog gets on your bed...

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    Re: Is Bankrupt in future for A NC company I am a thinking that any other load hauled would require cash up front before I delivered the load. A tough pill, but you don't know when they will pull out the rug. Maybe already did based on what your post says?

    Winter's over. . . . NOT!

    Then it would have been worth the effort. A load from just CA to CO I would have scrapped.

    So you wanna be an expediter?

    Your right on the business plan. That is why I think they are a waste of time as I have said for years. They only have a value if YOU are controlling the income. In many cases, it is the carrier that is controlling those numbers, not the driver. Drivers can control some costs, but they pale as...

    Crooked Drivers Too

    We have been fortunate and not had that problem. We take a lot of steps prior to hiring someone. Two of those biggies is not hiring two people that aren't in a relationship, and sometimes hard, no drivers without previous experience and references. In our case, I'll park it until I find the...

    Crooked Drivers Too

    I relly hate to see that kind of stuff happen. There will always be more drivers complaining about fleet owners just because there is more drivers. There is good and bad to both. The only other odd thing is how the person you are leasing the truck from can hold a settlement? Usually if you...

    Winter's over. . . . NOT!

    I quess I will ask the dumb question. Why did you go to Denver in the first place? I would have to think there are loads going to another location?

    So you wanna be an expediter?

    Maybe? I wouldn't spend 180K on any kind of truck.
