    No Forced Dispatch

    Actually, all that's really necessary to present a more accurate picture is for the cheerleaders to post about the less-than stellar loads with the same whoohoo! frothy vigor they use for the stellar loads. Load 1 is an awesome carrier and I haven't considered going anywhere else. Other than...

    I can say without qualification that the online portrait painted by Load 1 cheerleaders was not at all the reality of Load 1. The portrait was highly Photoshopped.

    At most carriers it would be off-the-charts, bat crap crazy. But at Load 1 it works. As for my deadhead, it varies wildly. I'm currently on a load that's 123 DH for 397 loaded. It pays more than a buck a mile all miles, as usual. Funny how that works.

    Get ready for the shakedown!!!

    I think if I were diverted to a football field for hours that I'd have to go all Amonger on 'em.

    Fact check

    And yet not a single reason you listed can be found in any definition of the word cult. Not one. Calling them a cult is like calling "gay marriage"... "equal marriage", it's redefining the term to suit your own needs. Saying that they redefine accepted terms to fit their religion is one of...

    Every O/O is a small business. Businesses large and small fail all the time. Truckers aren't special.

    Isn't diverting you off the road to a football stadium for hours kinda.. sorta... restraint of trade?

    Ever read what the Load 1 Driver's Handbook says about turning down loads? It'll scare the begeezus out of ya. It's waaaay different from what they tell you in orientation. I think part of the problem is our first-posting friend came from a carrier where everything between dispatch and driver...

    Fact check

    And yet people continue to use the word incorrectly. They define Mormonism as a cult, but their reasons for doing so do not fall within the definition of a cult, regardless of which definition of cult is used, unless you also include all other religions with Mormonism. All they are doing is...

    Bathrooms

    After 16 years in the restaurant business, I can say without a doubt the women's restrooms were consistently far nastier than the men's restrooms. Men are particularly bad about leaving the sink and the area around the sink wet and nasty, whereas women will clean up the sink area when they make...

    What's the URL of the image? Go to your settings, delete the pic from the signature, and start over. When you start over, write down or remember exactly the steps you take to put it back.

    End of Era..Detroiter Joins Pilot

    I've parked there a lot, lot, lot over the last 3-4 years. Never had a problem of any kind. I simply drive through the pumps, right past the booth where big trucks pay to park, wave at the guard as I pass, and park in the very back in front of the concrete wall separating the main lot from the...

    End of Era..Detroiter Joins Pilot

    I think it's great. It used to be that when you bought fuel, any amount, you got a $2 shower. Then they changed it to 50 gallons. Now I can buy fuel there and get a free shower, instead of driving 15 miles down the road.
