As an outsider, you missed it. Dood drives for Panther and is on a contracted rate per mile, not a percentage of the load. What he said in the all-caps portion that you quoted makes no sense whatsoever, EXCEPT and UNLESS you know that he drives a truck for an owner and splits the load 60/40...

Do you know where the Department of Motor Vehicles is in Rhode Island? It's at the mall. I'm serious. :)

If you drive a cargo van for a fleet owner, there is no good carrier, because regardless of the carrier, the driver and the owner will have to split cargo van money, and there's just not enough of it to start with in order to split it up like that for either the owner or the driver to make any...

The 95% will fall off, but the ding will still count over the course of 6 months. So after the 6 months, if you ran 80 loads and delivered 79 on time, then you would be at 98.75% and would fall below the "at least 99% on-time service" for qualification. You'll need 100 loads and no more than a...

Good point. Hypocrisy. I usually pick on that. I'm slipping. :D

Well, no, what I said was that I wasn't worried about it. But now that you bring it up, no, I'm not really enthusiastic about it, either. I might be if it were my project, but it's not, so I'm not. I'd have to classify myself more as apathetic or indifferent. Couldn't care less one way or the...

Proud (and pride) can be a funny thing. It's only relatively recently been linked to self-esteem, but it's origins come from prȳde (cognate with prȳthi) and a derivative of prūd, which means, essentially, a pompous and stately arrogance. There's nothing wrong with being proud to be an...

A Sprinter is a Sprinter is a Sprinter. Other than a few cosmetic difference like the grills and the name on he back door, wheels, steering wheel, and front cover of the Owner's Manual, they are identical. So if they work on Sprinters at all, which brand of Sprinter is irrelevant. I had my...

The suspensions on MY02 to MY06 are identical. MY07 and later have a heavier duty anti-sway bar that adds more stability (as well as several other changes), but the earlier models weren't any more susceptible to actually tipping over. I added a heavy duty anti-sway bar to my 05 which helped a...

Clearly Mr. Greg, you do not understand the difference between "assume" and "presume", because you keep using them incorrectly, and largely interchangeably. Again, the definition of "assume" is to take for granted as being true without proof. The definition of "presume" is to assume as...

I could see someone freaking out over a suspicious character hiding a box in a nifty hiding place somewhere in Trafalgar Square, under a bush at the west side of St James Park, or under that really big clock at the Palace of Westminster (you know the one), or even under the cucumbers in a Tesco...

Greg, you're all over the place in there. First you say that, "law enforcement and anything outside of court does not have to assume innocents but can assume guilt - this include the public's court of opinion,". But if you can assume guilty, then there is no need for a trial. Then you say, "It...

Wetherby, the small town of 11,000 people within the City of Leeds, in West Workshire, England. It has a long history, as do most English towns, but this is best known for centuries as a popular stop and staging post on the Great North Road, being exactly 198 miles between London and Edinburgh...

I don't have a problem with kids being taught the accomplishments of gays. One example used in the article is "Alan Turing, a mathematician who helped crack Nazi Germany's secret codes by creating the "Turing bombe," a forerunner of modern computers." It's an important part of history. I...

Actually, she was innocent from the very beginning. The jury merely confirmed that fact by finding her "Not guilty". That's why they call it "innocent until proven guilty". That's why you aren't guilty just because someone says you are, or charges you with something, or because they come up with...

"Why doesn't Obama fight for American truckers?" For the same reason Clinton and Bush didn't.

Did you not read that? :D It's a reachable goal for solo everybody, really, but it all depends on how many loads they offer you and the length of line haul for those loads. I'd much rather meet the Gold level for miles than with the number of loads.

Why did Clinton want it? Why did Bush want it?

I just installed the Amazon app and it worked fine. Make sure you 1-Click address is complete, make sure you have 1-Click "settings and payment method preferences for address #1" set, make sure you have a payment method set up. Make sure you are logging into the app with the same e-mail address...
