This is becoming non-productive. If trucks and crews were allowed to "jump" over others it was wrong. That would mean that many others that were qualified were held back because of it. This arguement will slove nothing. Bashing fleets or carriers in public does little than cause ill feelings...

I do? On a regular basis? No sir, I do not. In fact, I have ONLY taken ONE very low paying load, and it only paid low because of a VERY long DH. I took that one for two reasons. 1. I was the only truck that my carier had that could cover that load and it was a long standing customer. 2. It was...

If they did, cool, I never saw them. I just don't trust ANYONE who, 1. does not trust me and 2. is trashing the Constitution. I would want more proof that they are his. HE assumes my lack of innocence under the Constitution so I therefor assume the same on his part. In addtion to that he IS a...

We have lost control over every government function. They just "stick in our ear" and we just smile and say "yes sir yes sir, three bags full" and vote them in again. Then when we do, and they screw up and us just as the last bunch did we are told to "give them a chance". Bull Feathers, vote the...

Of course you are "special" OVM, but your van is not!!! :eek: I know that there are exceptions to ALMOST every rule. We don't as a practice take everyday van loads, no reason to lose that much money on a load. Layoutshooter

REALLY Rocket? Ask Mrs. Layoutshooter. That kind of stuff has been going on in the schools for YEARS. Remember, my YOUNGEST is 31 and it was going on then. I had teachers teaching that the Constitution was written to spell out the "Rights" of the govenment. That the amendments in the Bill of...

:D:D I like that!! I want to see his college transcripts too. I mean the nation hired him to do a job based on them, I want to see them. Why would he hold them back? I mean, geez, you have to provide basic stuff like that for ANY REAL job you apply for in the REAL world? I guess he is just way...

You should be a hockey fan!!! HEHEHE You would be smart to be a Wings fan if you were too!!! GO WINGS!!!!!!! Layoutshooter

You got that right OVM. It was a constant battle with the schools when my kids were at that age. What bull they were taught and some teacher had the audacity to tell my kids that the morals my wife and I were teaching were outdated and wrong!! Un-Real!!! I once was forced to remind the school...

Does he have one? I have NEVER met a Dumb-O-Crat that did!! LOL, just kidding. Hey, Rocket, it appears that MICHIGAN based Detroit Red Wings really whopped the OHIO based Columbus Blue Jackets!! Go Wings!!! Just had to rub that in. LOL :rolleyes: Layoutshooter

I don't take true van loads. They are just not profitable for us. The ONLY reason I could ever see us putting on a load like that is if we needed to get home and that was cheaper than a long DH. MAYBE if it moved us into a better freight area. We have taken loads that would go on a van, weight...

At the risk of sounding stupid, which has never bothered me before, are we even required to carry the long form with us? Layoutshooter

I don't think that we have ever carried a van load that a single driver van could carry. Not yet at least, I WILL NOW THOUGH!!! HEHEHEHE Layoutshooter

It was the long winter up there, it turned him into a real meenie!!! LOL. He also is like that because he never learned how to shoot. :rolleyes: I be a pickin on ya buddie!! LOL Layoutshooter

WOW,What a meeny!!! LOL. Does that me that your NOT going to hire me to cut grass on your campground when I go under? You were my ace in the hole!!! :eek: Layoutshooter

Well, Keeshond0622, you are correct, BUT, it is possible to do it right and still lose. When we got put of of service we had a full 3 months truck AND household expenses in the bank. It is gone now. Our truck is not paid for, we have not been in the business to pay it off yet. Things will get...

This one MAY be for real. There are more and more drivers being taken off for 10 hours based on these check lists. There is a lot of talk out there on this from sources other than OOIDA. I even heard mention of it on a lawyer call in show NOT connected to trucking. They were discussing whether...

It is a result of the dumbed down education that is one of the main culprets Greg. Add to that most people are just too plain lazy to learn anything about government on thier own. Shoot, most people believe our government is a democracy, not a republic and if they have a vague idea that we are a...

Doug, Why don't you put up a copy of that letter and the check so we can all see this 2 for 1 deal that you got. We would all be very interested in seeing that. Layoutshooter

Gee Bryan, I used to repo for a bank, you seem to know stuff that I never heard of. PI? We never needed one. There is a secret, don't let it happen. If you are going under turn the truck in. It costs you much less. There are ways to protect important assests like your home. Failing at business...
