I will not support Obama if he wins. He stands for everything that I spent 20 years of my life fighting. Wars my hind end. These are little brush fires. You have not seen a war. Russia is expanding again. Iran with it. China will join. South America will fall soon. It is coming. I might not know...

Turtle, I don't know the Constitution as well as most but I know that somewhere in there is a clause that states that is not legal to take money from one citizen to give it to another. Not the exact wording but you know from where I speak. This government has been usurping the power of the...

Good luck to the both of you and welcome to our forum. This is a very interesting business and lifestyle. I took six months of study before I jumped. Take your time, there is no rush. You really should drive for an owner. We did for two years before we bought a truck. Try to find an owner...

If it walks like a mallard, quacks like a mallard and flies like a mallard it is a mallard. Do not fall for it. You will start with this and that. Then there will not be enough money for it (you know like Medicare and Medcade are) sooooo, a V.A.T. then added fuel tax, then "special taxes" like...

I will not put anything aside. I am a freeman. I will stay that way. I refuse to pay ANY more taxes than I pay now. I don't want socialized health care, won't pay for it and will not follow any rules, laws etc that go with it. I don't believe in Marxism. I lived in a country with that kind of...

Leo is right, no matter who wins we lose. The only way we can really win is to cancel the election and go without a president. Get rid of the Congress too and we will be on our way. Health care smelth care, more socialist garbage. You just wait and see just how much more it will cost you and...

We are looking forward to a good year in 2009. We had many wierd things happen to us 2008 that affected our bottom line. It is very unlikely that those things will repeat themselves next year. Sump pumps don't fail all that often and with the new back up system we are confident that we won't...

In case anyone was wondering, there were 135 fires in Detroit on "Angels Night", 65 of which were classed as "suspicious". It took 35,000 volunteers on the streets to keep the numbers that low. If you can call that low. They wanted to get 50,000 out but fell short. I tend not to tell people I am...

WE have noticed the drop in the FSC as well and I know that it accounts for some of what we are seeing. We look at short mile loads the same way that you do. We have a good idea what we need to make per day, more important to us, than what we need per mile. A $4 dollar per mile load that is only...

We run on the same idea. We don't like to take too many short loads in a row unless they pay very well. We once got stuck in CA running one day loads that paid good per mile but it was a pretty bad week in the end. It is not always an easy call. The best of this bunch we turned down was barely...

Sounds like fun!!! I will bring the ice cream!!! layoutshooter

Not worried, just a little surprised. Some had a lot of dead head some did not. We are at least at home so waiting is a lot easier with home cooked meals, a clean shower and your own bed. We have an appointment on the 11th with Morgan to go over the specs for the new box. I am quite sure we...

I agree but I have NOT ever seen 11 in a row. That is how many we have turned down since Friday. It will turn around. We too have had a rough year outside of the business. Home problems etc. Now we have been out for a week with a dumb repair. Oh well, 2009 will be here soon. Layoutshooter

Anyone else been getting goofy load offers? Like WG loads with all the trimmings that only pay $1 per mile? Last 4 load offers have been that or less. We are home so we won't take loads like that. In fact we hardly ever take those kind unless it brings us home after we have been out for a long...

I think that every adult relative I had whopped me from time to time. Extended family. It has helped me as a driver, I have life long callasus on my butt from all the whoppens. Layoutshooter

Ok, but don't let it happen again or three wacks on the kuckle with a nun's ruller. Layoutshooter

Let's see, this is really too easy. Barstool economics is what Ted Kennedy goes by? Layoutshooter

Sure Russia will go in, in thier own goofy way. They are ready to sign a gas deal with Iran. Watch out, it is comming. Layoutshooter

We have been training them for years. It is one of the things we have been working towards. The problem is politics is soundbites and the real world takes time. Look how long we had to occupy Germany and Japan after WW2. Look how long we fought Russia after they started the occupation of eastern...

Strawberries too. Layoutshooter
