You speaketh the truth o sage.Retire and see the world(Amrerica at any rate)and get paid along the way!! Why do so many try so hard to make this brain surgery.

As an owner,and not a driver(anymore)I certainly do not encourage my teams to turn down an art load because of a ride along courrier,even across country.I guess I'm greedy,but these loads generally pay very well,and the grief of a ride along (if there is grief)is not forever. I consider ride...

I both own and lease.Advantage to owning is obvious.Paid for and the deal is done.No residual.One drawback to owning is the depeciation lessens with each year over the life of the loan.With leasing,the monthly payment is treated the same as a rental,a total business write off for the term of the...

Bragging again........... I handled the international moving needs of(at 1 time)the largest mining company in OZ(as the locals refer to it)BHP Minerals(now defunct) I travled to OZ every year for 15 years.Saw the ENTIRE country(Perth is my favorite,followed by Port Douglas,on the great Barrier...

Your right,I guess the Church of England of the 16th and 17th century was just a loving and tolorant place of worship,a mild mannered counrty church in the woods. I still have that ocean front property in Arizona Greg.Interested yet.........

I went to Europe for 3 weeks in September and turned control of my 5 trucks over to one of my old buddies who is on the road with Willie(the singer with long hair)He did a fine job.In fact,the trucks made more money while I was gone then when I'm home!!Planning another trip this summer!!Plus,the...

A very brief comment.After six years with FEDEX,I have achieved,and most years,exceeded my goals.However,there are dry,rough times in this industry,and I am forever warning newbies to make certain this is what they want to do. Don't know a thing about vans.

Keep in mind our forefathers were rebels from the same intolorance's that are driving the world today.By any other name,intolorance derives and springs from the same ugly place today as it did 200 plus years ago.It is why our shores and borders are forever convulsing with those trying to get...

I think your right Star,it may be many years before this situation is resolved.Let's hope our kids and their kids find a better way to resolve religious and social difference's. If we teach tolorance and acceptance at home,and in our schools,it's a start.We did'nt have a civil rights law in this...

You maybe right Ace,I just don't understand how we are sure we are winning.This enemy cannot be measured by traditional means of measurmeant.If making Iraq look like Vermont is the measurmeant,I would say we are losing.Remember,our President has been steadfast in insisting we are fighting the...

Just a few comments. Civil war now seems a very strong possibility.Yesterday, Rumsfeld and Rice asked for another billion or so(whats another bill at this point)without clearly answering questions about "what if"this things goes to hell in a hand basket.Rumsfelt's answer was something like:it's...

AS you all may or may not know,as of March 1,Carrier is the only approved and only authorized dealer(s)to sell and work on Pro Heat equipment in the US.The Pro Heat name will go away as well. I found out the hard way this week.Had a unit out and dead headed the truck several hundred miles to...

Public television in San Francissco was running 'Don't Look Back",the Dylan documentry, last night.Compared to the bright lights and super hype(too many comercials)of Idol(not to mention the limited entertainment value),Dylan ,at 20 years old, remains the best America had,and has,to offer for...

Great minds stink alike?Did I miss something?

Stay away from this business if you need to be home more then 1 time every 4 weeks.Paticularly as a solo.You can do better driving a cab and staying home.

I currently own 5 White Glove trucks,(reefer's,tags,lift gates,big sleepers etc.)These are very expensive units,and require much research on various purchase options and performance specs. If your not going into a unit like this,and will not need all the extras,listen to the various opinions on...

Great post Leo,now I have a migrain the size of Vermont,and it's all your fault! Anytime you want to talk expediting,where to get a good deal on tires in California,or my suggestions on how to save on fuel,hollar at me.Leaving politics to the politicians for the time being. Be safe and God bless.

I believe pic #1 is part of the New Panther 2 Green Glove Fleet(fresh air reefers)

I never disputed the facts.As I said before,the internet makes us all historians of the first degree.I still get my facts from books,old school. In any event,I maintain,just as the Repub's did under Clintons 8 years,if it's your watch,tough s***,you signed up for it,and history will remember and...
