    Multiple carriers.. beating a dead horse

    Sorry. Brain fart. I had just gotten off the phone with one of my relatives in Elkton and we had been talking about Russellville, so when I responded to you my fingers were typing Gilbertsville but my brain was still in Russellville. But yes, I know where Gilbertsville is. Sorry about that...

    Roaddog trucking

    A couple of years back a PBS television producer came here and asked for input about a potential new trucker reality show. The producer was unceremoniously virtually spit on and kicked out the door. It was a lovely display of expediters, lemme tell ya.

    Aim for gun laws that will work

    Because that part, and the rest of the Amendment including "being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people," is unnecessary to quote or discuss in these discussions. But here is it in its entirety. A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free...

    Child support claim rankles sperm donor to lesbian couple

    Why? As Dave noted, if the value of the job hasn't changed, there can be no justification for artificially inflating it's value, other than charity, a gift. The market, not longevity, sets the value of the job. If longevity made a difference, then you and I both would be getting paid more per...

    Yes, you provided the context necessary to understand the manner in which you used the word, but in doing so introduced a brand new and improved context, and then used that new context to challenge Amonger's statement. In some circles, they call that a Straw Man Argument. ;)

    I'm with Amonger on this one. Heterosexuals, as a collective group, they can reproduce. Homosexuals, as a collective group, A.K.A. they, cannot reproduce. In order for homosexuals to reproduce, they must go outside the scope of they by introducing a kludge (non-homosexuals) thereby becoming...

    Sprinter Particulate Filter - FYI

    I don't understand why it needs a new ECU just because the DPF got wore out and plugged up. There's no way that the DPF can cause the computer to die. I don't understand why they had to replace the Differential Pressure Sensor, either. If I run out of fuel, do I need to replace the fuel tank...

    I think Amonger is a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

    I seem to have opened a can of worms

    You're not only naive, but delusional. Not one person has said you aren't making any money, or that you're doing it wrong. Not one. Many, in fact have said you're doing fine, but that you could be doing better. The assertion that your way is the best way and that you're making more money than...

    My turn to ask a question...

    Simple answers to complex questions and to questions that come from a perspective of a certain naivety will usually result in misunderstanding and incomplete information, which generally do more harm than good to the recipient. You say you aren't naive by any means, yet your statements and...

    Battery question for Turtle

    Max output will be achieved by the proper voltage, which either the CD123a or the 18650 batteries will give you, despite their being two different voltages at the battery output. The mAh only affected for how long you can use the batteries before they need to be recharged. The 18650 batteries...

    My turn to ask a question...

    Just to add to the already great responses, when you say "broker", what that means to most people is someone who does nothing but obtain loads from shippers and then find a carrier to haul the freight. They have no trucks of their own, and they have no authority to haul freight. All they do is...

    I seem to have opened a can of worms

    That right there is the big red flag if righteous ignorance. You proved to yourself that running for multiple carriers is more lucrative than running for one good one, but you've never run for one good one, so you have nothing to compare. Others have shown you that running for one good one (and...

    Which? Murray, or Western Kentucky? LOL For years I had Murray, KY listed under my avatar, before the pond started filling up with pennies.

    Multiple carriers.. beating a dead horse

    Not really. Without knowing the number of loads, it's hard to know what percentage of them fall above or below 90%. For example, let's say you have ten loads, with one of them at $1.10 per mile, two loads at 95 cents, and seven loads at 85 cents a mile. 1.10 + (2 x .95) + (7 x .88) = 9.16 / 10 =...

    I happen to know a few gay people, too, and not one of them is the same as as hetero people. They're all hardwired differently than heterosexuals, and because of that they see most issues differently, including thinking homosexuality is normal. It's not. The very hard-wiring that drives the...
