Yeah, I agree with you on that one. The entire Constitution just screams the rights of the individual, not the collective right. It's a valid interpretation, I think, in the context of the well regulated militia, and I understand it, but I think it is an incorrect interpretation regardless...

Snarkiness is in the eye of the beholder, and it's at the very least a tad snarky for a non-moderator to jump in and try to moderate, in effect telling the moderators how to apply the rules, especially since the part of the Code of Conduct you quoted didn't even apply except in your own personal...

Actually, the OP is the most informative post in the thread.

They do, though. They don't go looking for anything and everything that violates the Constitution and then defends it that way (there's only so many unconstitutional infringements that one organization can deal with <snort>) but if something gets brought to their attention or someone asks for...

A pretty informative thread, really. It's probably a good thing the only qualifications to be a mod here isn't whether or not they've slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Because they can. And so far because they can get away with it. The ACLU isn't always bad all of the time. Civil Liberties is an important thing, despite the fact that the ACLU will defend civil liberties even when what they are defending isn't popular, like prisoner's rights and the rights of...

Keep in mind the OP asked about expediting "in that area," not about getting loads "out of" that area. A load going from Cali to Ohio isn't exactly expediting on the west coat. If someone wants to relocate to California and be an expediter, they can certainly get a load out of California, no...

In this case you should be standig right there with the ACLU in outrage against Big Brother. Mich. State Police confiscate cell data at traffic stops; won't say when or why | ITworld ACLU: Michigan cops stealing drivers' phone data | Crave - CNET Device lets police 'extract' motorists' cell...

Actually, you wrote cryptic, incomprehensible prose and then got denigrated when you got mad at everyone when nobody could understand what the heck you were talking about. The failure to name names had nothing to do with it.

Most of the RV conversions are the dually wheel models, which doesn't leave enough room between the wheel wells for a 48" skid, so the wheel wells will have to be modified. But 14 grand for a 35,000 Sprinter is a good deal. Just have a very competent Sprinter mechanic go over it with a fine...

It should be in the 32 cents per mile range, give or take a penny or two. If the base rate before FSC is 80 cents a mile, then 40% of the 80 cents would be 32 cents a mile. So it's in that range.

Possibly, but I don't think so. It happens where I miss the whole point on occasion, but it's pretty rare. If my attempt at communication in this thread is that confusing and pathetic, I apologize, but I assure you I don't think that's what it's all about at all. To clarify things perhaps, I...

The key is to get as many ideas and garner as much from the more experienced as you can, and then apply what works best for your situation.

FWIW, I voted YES in the poll because I delivered newspapers when I was a kid.

All I know for sure is, where the "tools of the trade" come from and who provides them is not the litmus test for employee versus independent contractor. If the tools such as straps and pallet jacks come with the truck, then as OVM said, they are part and parcel of the lease on the truck itself...

If I were president for a day I would pen an executive order declaring the Constitution null and void and make myself dictator. Absolutely. :D

Wrong. Dead wrong. And I'll tell the IRS, your accountant and your lawyer if you want me to. You as an owner can provide anything you want to an independent contractor and they will still remain independent, as long as you don't mandate to them the things you provide. Take tie-down straps...

Load locks, straps, pallet jack, GPS, TV, Refrig, Microwave, CB, Inverter or anything else in or on the truck is hardly the litmus test for employee/independent contractor classification, any more than an owner-supplied seat cushion, floor mat or tire gauge would be. An owner can charge for...
