    What a dog !!

    I can't believe that Puppy Protective Services didn't charge the master with reckless endangerment, puppy abandonment, and puppy abuse. :D

    Mr. Dollar, preacherman

    Did you actually read the entire article at the link? I found no hint in the article of Yahoo or the world trying to slightly damage, much less destroy Christianity or those who live their lives by the Bible.

    Huning pigs in Texas

    It's like that place in the Carolinas, JR's or whatever it is. Billboards all over the place. It's a huge cigarette outlet. Or the big fish market. Or "He's a good fastball hitter." Anybody can hit a good fastball. <snort>

    June Locations and all the Banter who can post!

    Had a great load Thursday night. Sitting in Atlanta it was one of those "quick little run, easy, bang it out while we look for something better" runs. 9 mile DH for 50 loaded up to Cartersville. Sure, I'll do that. Load came over the QC: Pickup is Air France... You know how the shorter the...

    It's getting strange out there

    The article is a bit misleading. It's not a ruling, it's a recommendation based on the initial screening of the case. The biggest problem is that it was filed in federal court instead of state court. She filed in federal court in order bring claims under the Fourth Amendment for improper search...

    interference with commerce/forced dispatch

    The problem with the OP, and an alarming number of others in this industry who are ignorant about the industry is, they think the carrier is somehow obligated to provide loads for their IC drivers. Carriers are not. They are under no obligation what-so-ever to provide loads nor will they...

    No Forced Dispatch

    Cite the IC/employee tax law to support your position. ICs don't have customers. That's funny. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you don'thave a sense of humor. Who do you think contracts you for each job and pays you for your services? The IC Fairy?

    Your Sprinter Sleeper

    The Rule of Thirds still applies. Whatever you gross, about one third goes to operating expenses, one third goes to the truck, and one third goes to the owner/operator.

    No Forced Dispatch

    Didn't really think that one through, did ya. It doesn't matter what industry you are in, expediting, dry wall construction, cutting hair... if you turn down jobs often enough, people will view you as someone they can't count on when they need you, as being unable to be relied on, as being...

    You're right, of course, as usual. Yes, they are a forced-dispatch company. You've convinced me.

    No Forced Dispatch

    Most of the policies in the handbook were written long ago and many of them are either out of date or are solely for company drivers and do not apply to the independent contractors, at least that's what I was told by two people in the back building and Mike the Senior. There are several examples...

    No Forced Dispatch

    It appears the foundation of this problem is the redefining of "non-forced dispatch" to mean "I can do as I please with no consequences whatsoever". First you have to understand what "forced dispatch" means, and if you don't understand that, you have no hope of being able to accurately define...

    basic van outfitting

    Got the PM, but just haven't been able to answer it until now. I clean it about twice a year, give or take, with a deck brush and either some degreaser/detergent or just hot soapy water. Then I give the plywood deck another 3 or 4 coats of Minwax. Sometimes with a paint brush, usually I'll just...
