    The Judge Caved

    And then proceeded to state, "they already have 2 US military Generals that have joined the case and the 3 of them are now deciding how to bring it back." That's not true. The generals joined the case before the case was dismissed, and it's not even generals, plural, it's one General and one Lt...

    Logbook ink color

    You've got "a new pen in the works?" You know you can just go buy pens at Walmart and Office Depot, lots of places. Even trucks stops carry them.

    The Judge Caved

    You don't know what you're talking about. There was nothing to hear. Once the guy's orders got changed, the case became literally a non-case. Imagine the City wants to dig up your front yard for a new sewer line. You file a case for a TRO to prevent them from doing it, so that you will have to...

    The Judge Caved

    You said it right there, hear the case on the face. There was no face. The very thing the suit was filed for no longer exists. Like I said, what was the judge supposed to do, hear the case to grant a temporary inunction for a situation that doesn't exist? This suit wouldn't have determined a...

    The Judge Caved

    The judge didn't cave nor did he sidestep anything. The case had no merit. None. What was the judge supposed to do, hear the case to grant a temporary inunction for a situation that doesn't exist?

    Here we Tax Again......

    Taxing international profits as the money is earned, rather than when it's brought back here, is just stupid, stupid, stupid. He might as well tell all US-based international companies to move all of their domestic operations overseas and be done with the United States. Money earned overseas...

    cargo van pay?

    Far as I know, the new van contracts at Panther are for 70 cents a mile. Mine is 77 cents a mile. Some people are on the Structured FSC, which right now is about 12 cents. I'm on the Variable FSC, which ranges between 8 cents and 19 lately, but averaging out at 17 cents. So the new contracts at...

    Panther Transflow sheet scan

    I was initially scanning and e-mailing my stuff, too, until I found out they had to actually print it out and then scan it into the system. Seems like a lot of extra work when I can scan it directly into the system myself doing exactly the same thing as I was doing before, merely by using the...

    I get bored easy, do you?

    I get out of the truck. I used to stay in the truck when I was bored, but found myself often thinking about stuff like dry rubs.

    Any thoughts on this?

    OK, for argument's sake, let's say a carrier tried to implement this sort of thing. Top 5% gets penalized 10% so that money can go to the bottom 5%, and the middle 90% being left alone. Breech of contract would be charged, the top 5% would sue for unfair business practices and restraint of...

    I think Leo has lost it?

    I listened today to almost the entire day's questioning of the Supreme Court nomination, but in the middle of that I also heard the entire press conference of the committee that produced the draft of the Health Care bill. I wanted to throw up.... on Pelosi.

    Any thoughts on this?

    As written, it's a load of crap. Too many lease contracts would prevent it, for one, and for two, no way all 82 small carriers would agree to anything, much less something that would quickly reduce every single one of them to a fleet of one power unit. Why make something like this up, post it...

    cargo van pay?

    One way to look at this is, you should, realistically, be able to pay yourself 32 cents a mile, or there abouts. Add 15 cents per mile for fuel, and you're looking at 47 cents per mile that doesn't take into consideration your other costs per mile, like tires, insurance, Qualcomm, licenses...
