The President is not authorized to make hostilities, either. Only the CIA can do that.

If you buy 50 gallons in one whack they show up right away, buy if you are accruing those 50 gallons over the 5 day period, the way us lowly vanners do it, the earned showers won't show up until after they do the batch run on the overnight.

Awesome. :D

You know how we are out here constantly trying to cut costs and increase revenue? With many poeple, food stamps is a way to do that now. Gotta make ends meet any way you can. As for moving to England and raising your family right, I say you don't have to move that far away to raise your family...

What are the other reasons for raising taxes, other than to increase revenue?

A Sprinter is a van, same as the one you're driving now, except you can stand up in a Sprinter. Nothing changes if you go to a Sprinter, other than you can get dressed standing up as opposed to on your knees. You need a CDL if you want a HAZMAT endorsement, be it with a van or a Sprinter...

There's also the "park-n-ride" crowd who want to park their cars at the truckstop and then carpool it to work. As for the showers and points, when they have to be added by hand, they aren't credited until someone calls those in. I agree that's something that needs to be automated. But even out...

“I just thought he had gone too far,” said RLC President and CEO Charlie Davis. “He was funny the first 10 or 15 minutes, but it was inappropriate, it was getting ridiculous.” One joke was pretty funny, tho, where he said that Newt Gingrich’s approval ratings are dropping “faster than Anthony...

I thought 07 and later Sprinters, the big nozzle wouldn't fit. Never seen a later model getting fuel out back, anyway. "As a noob, to me, the final cost per mile is more important to me than the MPG because its factoring the cost of fuel." As a non-noob, you will find out that you cannot...

It may be a breeze, and you may understand the industry, but in order for either of those to really be true, you'll have to grasp the notion that having commercial insurance is not what makes your vehicle a CMV. <snort> :D Everybody who gets into expediting says that.

Because when you say the word "FDCC" it's not a word, but when you say "FECC", it comes out as fecees. :D

I'll play. The inaccurate analogy is the equating FECC with the Titanic. FECC isn't sinking, even for the contractors. FECC may end up looking different, but it'll still be floating. The false assumption is that you must jump ship to a lifeboat in order to survive. There is no indication...

The thing is, when a contractor posts here with the "concequences be ****ed" attitude, they really and truly don't care what the consequences are. They've exhausted their options at going through preferred channels. They're FedUp to here, and they're not gonna take it anymore, or something like...

Almost certainly, yes. The difficult position is, "Things just ain't what they used to be." Not all that long ago one of the contractors in question, and maybe more, stated that the more specialized your equipment is, the better off you are. That assumed many things, namely that FedEc would...

I don't see any ranting, nor the airing of dirty laundry. I see legitimate concerns of a changing carrier and a changing industry being discussed which are widespread in scope, and not of the personal airing of a gripe or dirty laundry. You want to know how this helps fellow drivers, well, it...

Well, I certainly hope you find him in there soon. If he had folded the top bunk up, that'd be the place to look, but now I dunno. Good luck in finding him! :)

I don't think there will be, either. But if they tip their hand too soon and reveal their plans, there could be, and that's what I was getting at. They won't reveal their plans until they are prepared to handle a mass exodus, should one occur. They leave little to chance. They want to make sure...

I agree with you, they should, but they won't, as that opens things up to chance, or at least too rapid of a change before they are prepared for it (like a mass exodus). Rumor and conjecture, and "bad times" (including being dispatched around) better enables them to predict the rate and...

FedEx leaves nothing to chance. They are more anal than Phil, if you can imagine that. Do you really think they don't have a clue about how many trucks they are losing and why? Whey know precisely how many trucks they are losing, and they know why, and they have a pretty good idea at what rate...

Nope, not much. I just think it's a little silly to blame the recipients of a system that we created which encourages people to participate in the system. It's like blaming the players on a Major League Baseball team for making too much money which results in higher ticket prices, when...
