The process of binding arbitration is part of the CBA that both sides agreed to. Both sides agreed to binding arbitration before going into arbitration. Clearly, Chrysler needs to do the same thing MLB did after losing an arbitration decision with Ryan Braun, get rid of the current arbitrator...

The Qualcomm actually uses very little power. If it did, vans all over the place wouldn't be able to start in the morning. When the ignition key is turned off, the QC goes to sleep after a few minutes so save power. Every hour or so it'll wake up for 5 minutes, check messages, then go back to...

He didn't say your opinion was unAmerican. He said you were too green (in this business) and you are TOO American (the Sprinter is most definitely NOT American). You have to really and truly think like a European when it comes to a Sprinter, and that's on top of the special considerations that...

I hope so. It needs a splint of some kind, but curved, to keep my index finger curved like an eagle's talon or something. Same curve as when you're holding a soft drink can. I can move the finger and joint around just fine, unless I straighten my finger out like I'm pointing at something. The...

Looks like I picked a good week to slice up my hand. I really wanted to come back out this week, but 2 different doctor's told me the chances of infection were just too great, especially since part of the cut is right where I hold the steering wheel. Any defensive driving like fast turning, or...

You seem to think that brokers can only use the drivers which they, the broker, hired on. Fact is, brokers can broker out a load to any driver or any carrier they like. For example, and I'll use "carrier" to mean "broker", Panther, a carrier who also brokers loads, books loads which they cover...

It could also be argued that those who are receiving food stamps from the government are 100% dependent on the government for those government food stamps. :D

Careful. Someone might construe that as my helping out instead of breaking you down. I've got a rep to protect, you know.

When you contact OOIDA, be sure to tell them how the brokers are taking more money from the loads than the drivers are. In fact, I'd lead with that. That kind of stuff is right up their alley.

His own keen sense of awareness has failed to show him where the "Reply With Quote" button is located.

I think it should be pointed out that you can be "tied" to something without necessarily being "dependent" on it. For example, the "Certain percentage" of the 47 million on food stamps who can do without them, I, being a reasonable person, would not consider them "dependent" on the government...

It's not a matter of whether I like it or not, it's a matter of whether it violates the Code of Conduct, which you agreed to when you signed on here. If you would like to continue your multi-post rant, and to call people names, that's fine by me, but I should warn you that it will not go well...

Again, unless you can come up with a new argument and solution that's not merely a restatement of things you've already stated, then this thread is done. Your flawed premise hasn't changed, and you've refused to educate yourself even from the information to be found in this thread. We're done.

It comes from the Latin officium (official, office, : service, duty, ceremony, a position of duty, trust, or authority, especially in the government, a corporation, or a society. Both the military sense and the application to petty court officials date to the mid-16th century. The term has been...

The difference between flirting and sexual harrassment is whether or not she thinks you're cute.

Oh, great. Another expedite carrier owner who's never been an expediter.

Apaxx, there are several problems here. One is, you keep talking about the evils of brokers/agents like those evils are true. They're not. Some of what you say may be true for general trucking, but for expediting it is not. For one, brokers/agents don't hire drivers, much less flood the industry...

It's a little puffy and red around the edges, but I haven't banged it too many times and haven't ripped any of the stitches out. No leaking or bleeding, so I guess that's good. It doesn't really hurt unless I bang it, or move the finger the wrong way. I wanted to come back in service on Monday...

That's almost word for word what those dry cleaners would say.
