Darn...Why would you think S. Carolina would be a problem?...Look where I live!!;)

I guess some people are quicker at getting that "feel" for a carrier....your friend has done well!:)

If a fleet looks all new and shiny it's a great recruiting tool....It GIVES the ILLUSION that the owners are making money!!!:p

New and shiny doesn't pay the bills and I've seen some new and shiny on the back of a hook as well.... I've also seen some slick 5-7 yr old trucks out there... They should be recruited on a case by case situation...but that would be extra work for recruiters....and besides they usually know...

I have an aquiantence that has a 2004 and the BIG red E wouldn't let him lease on..they wanted 3 years or newer...go figure....I think some use truck age to weed out the people they don't want....the rule seems too liquid. you could also be correct ..if one owns the truck/van one could assume...

2 companies in 2 months eh? hmmmm....he's good but impatient.;)

I've seen more newer trucks break down then older ones at times....it's a mindset some carriers get....instead of taking the issue on a individual basis....they group old with old and new with new. Goes to show some of the ignorance of thier respective recruiting departments. They relate old...

The bill went down, 228-205, even though Paulson and congressional leaders proclaimed a day earlier that they had worked out an acceptable compromise in marathon weekend talks. Lawmakers were caught in the middle. On one side were the dire predictions from Bush, his economic team, and their own...

Unions have always been socialists....I can't believe they had such a big following down here....UAW...steelworkers, the trade unions....Its a socialist idea...take from the rich and share amongst the poor...everyone equal....yeah right! Ever see the minister or priest in a poor district...

Turtle said...."It used to be that when you became a US citizen you had to renounce your citizenship of your native country, but that hasn't been the case for a long time. An individual that becomes a U.S. citizen through naturalization may keep his or her original citizenship." Actually half...

If the price of diesel keeps dropping I want to see what these newer guys think when the FSC is down under a .10 a dime....right now the adjusted FSC is .20 cents for C/V's...a life without the FSC again...hard to believe with deisel average under 4 bucks that .60 fsc's are still out there...

so if I decide to take a load for .10 a mile and I am going bankrupt can I get bailed out too??? It was just a little bit of a bad business decision.

Ok now I jump.....You gave that one up??? !!!! ;):p sometimes ya just gotta let one go....*L* When the counts 3-0 you gotta take a pitch...
