The no-kids-allowed movement is spreading - Parenting on Shine An article regarding buisinesses that are banning children or setting specific hours that children are allowed. Personally, I am in favor of it. I'm CBC and getting old and less tolerant of rambunctious children whose parents...

Absolutely. No concern for the wellbeing of the genre in which you are part of. What affects one will eventually affect others, including yourself. I have noticed this business does work very well fot the narcissistic. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" ...

THANK YOU!!!! That is what it all boils down to... "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

No one can predict "emergency freight". This isn't an occupation for the impatient, broke, or timid. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

Forgive him for having a standard. He won't be party to driving rates below poverty level and being taken advantage of, and thus contributing to creating a more difficult way of life for expediting. Union mentality? You say that like it is a bad thing. You bet I do. Granddaughter, daughter...

I didn't mean to imply it was status quo. It isn't...but it sure is out there and on several of his confirmation faxes. If it was the norm, he wouldn't be taking a hiatus from the business. He wouldn't run for under .93. Apparently that wasn't unreasonable because HE GOT IT. All one has to do...

Considering what a lot of carriers offer, it is very good. Hard to come by, and can't make the full living off it because the loads aren't daily. Most of my boyfriend's carriers paid .95-.98. A couple would always try to get him to haul for .75 or less. Can't blame them for trying, but when gas...

No it isn't. When he contracted with them, their pay was stated as $1+ per mile. They always lived up to that, too. They get hot freight, true emergency freight. Things that had to be there yesterday, semi trailer overflow...cargo that is so urgent it is paid dearly for and it appears this...

There are bigger fish to be caught outside of expediting... "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

My boyfriend, with his trusty cargo van, carried his own insurances and in the last nine months ran for carriers paying $1 - $1.08 per mile and with reasonable deadhead. The one carrier who paid the highest consistently also got him the most freight and somehow secured good paying loads out of...

"Fixin": to prepare, get ready or on the precipice of performing an action. Short for "Fixing". Proper Southern U.S. usage example: "I'm fixin to go to WalMart" "Fittinabee": extension of Southern U.S. "Fixin". A term used throughout U.S. 'ghettoes'. Proper Ghetto usage example: "I'm fitanbee...

Marijuana is labeled the "gateway drug", but frankly, I think it is alcohol...I have never known anyone who was strung that DID NOT start with alcohol when they were young. I have a dear friend who has been sober for 22 years, but in their active addiction days, no matter what drug they were...

Do you know what "ouchonder" means yet? If you like the southern 'fixin', then you will love the ghetto 'fittinabee', which just expounds upon 'fixin'. Defines it just a bit more clearly. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

It is an eclectic mix of personalities from many different backgrounds. Environment during formative years plays a major role. I normally type differently than I speak. I was raised in the 'hood with southern parents. So you understand I at times have a little SEMO/ Ghetto slip through in posts...
