You get paid for the risk...except Fema stuff and boxes get wiped out..:rolleyes::eek: it is the same premise as giving a carrier 12 feet instead of 8 feet and not getting paid..people say well you got a load before others did so the 12 feet did pay...nice in theory but business ain't like...

On average it doesn't usually snow when the temp is below 0...only when it warms up to the 25 degree and above "on average" A warmer winter in that light would dictate more snow...

I can understand Scuba's concern..I really can.. Dave has the best answer for you big guys...don't go in bad weather.... and just transfer the load onto me and we'll be all set.... Joe you don't sit long enough in Joisey to worry about it...*LOL* and if it does snow a little...just drive...

Be my guest...I'll even volunteer driving directions for you to pick it up...;) Turtle...Correct....beside jumping the que...there is no other renumeration for the risk....if the load sprouts a leak I could be OOS for days or weeks depending on the spill...and just whom will pay me for my...

In this supposed rotten economy? and considering the amount of trucks our carrier has put on lately....You are doing good!!

Leo just how much snow remains after a 300 mile trip into Joisey? Not in Joisey...maybe over the weekend....but whats the odds of any accumulation worth worrying about? It think this is partly dramatization.... And are you kidding me? Swift keeps all their equipment moving? Haven't you ever...

ya heat up the inside of the van and then hit the inside of the roof....and most slides off when you hit the brakes in the parking lot! *L* If I were Tval I'd heat up the box and do the same thing...

And NJ is not the snow capital of the world... Snowfall can vary even more year-to-year. The average snowfall is 23.4 inches, but has ranged from as low as 2 inches (in the winter of 1918-19) to as high as 76.9 inches (in 1995-96). The heaviest snowstorm on record was the Blizzard of 1996 on...

I am sorry you sit longer...then vans in NJ... My reference was to stored trailers that sit WEEKS in a yard or them containers that sit for long periods...

I don't have it and never will....Since I can carry up to 1,000 lbs without it..and the under 1,000lbs stuff usually requires a bulkhead which I want no part of... I can live without it...Which of course is personal preference in the way I carry on my business. There is no right/ no wrong...

Since Greg wants to involve me into this fray I can step in here.... I can see some minor infractions should have expiry dates especially in Gregs example of the blown light..If'n he was 25 years old..it is not right those 12 points stay on your record for the next 40 years!

I side with Humble...many moons ago I was ignored by the Feds, Bolt. TriState and even my carrier now...E-1....go figure...and I did initial contact thru this site...:eek: Bolt..AnneM that is did call me on 2nd try to her credit... 9 years later Fedex has still not answered my enquiries, nor...

I've seen permanent snow scrappers installed at some UPS depots.....they just drive the truck thru slowly and it takes it down to a couple inches deep... I think the worse ones are trailers that have sat for weeks in a yard and the snow is like 3-4 feet deep..those should be cleaned off... I...

that puts me beside myself..*L* Changed oil and took out the turbo filter! Holy cow....grasshoppers galore! I may get better fuel mileage now...

I am not hard hearted by any means...BUT This is a business and many businesses fail everyday....just the way it goes.... Sometimes failure is a good thing IF one learns something...they'll come out a stronger person for it next time if they have the grit to try again...:D

Sympathy in the dictionary comes between sh!t and syphlisis.

I guess maybe the newbees have an interest. For me...you don't really have to justify anything too me... You say all is well and U R happy..that is all that should matter... If U R bull crapping us then that is fine too... another one will bite the dust... I'll miss you for a minute.;). Then...

speaking of which..when I was coming out of there the other morning...and TT was going out the in lane...*L*

Isn't that the way it is supposed to be done? If I am not going to run hard and hustle...why bother to be out here at all? We ARE Independent operators so I also take whatever time off I desire.
