If one needs or wants the advance ...thats fine! In my case it is No Thank you....:D

There is no real good solution...it comes down to what works for your truck and your style of driving...everyone will have a different version of what works for them and the conditions they commonly drive in....

If anyone sits 10/12 days...to put it bluntly...they are "stupid" and don't deserve the time of day! Just "stupid" I almost quarantee you no member here in good standing would ever/never sit 12 days without his/hers doctors advice...:eek: and remember we are talking Van vs straight truck as...

Unfortunately "deep" does little for traction when the wet/icey snow impacts into the "deep" The ability of the tire to throw the snow out of the tread is what gives you traction...so the lugs should be further apart to accomodate this action...So in essence "deep" for bite and wider set lugs...

That is not a bad thing...especially in some areas we go.... Some parking lots not being plowed out and virgin snow.... Then there is that stuff that clogs up the sipes on the tread and turns them into racing tires and you can't move!:eek: IMO you are doing the right thing....Some of them all...

I put a semi aggressive tread on the rears in the fall...and hope they make it till the following fall... And no..I don't rotate my tires....never had a problem not doing so...I do get them rebalanced tho when they are off for brake check up...doesn't work for most guys but does for me...

By Kevin Woster | Posted: Sunday, November 1, 2009 When Ken Knuppe got his old D-6 Caterpillar stuck in the mud, he naturally turned to a neighbor for help. The neighbor lives 50 miles away. "When I called up, his wife said he was working cattle," Knuppe said. "And I said I didn't want...

Mead Gruver .... CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- There have been far fewer reports of elk attacking cars in Yellowstone National Park during the elk mating season this fall. The reason is last winter's demise of elk No. 6, a large bull with sprawling antlers. Elk No. 6 was famous for attacking...

Oh...Lying..that I have had plenty of...and lets call it distortion of facts...that too... I have found every dispatcher has their unique way to present a load...some are better then others...some should be snake oil salesperson,,,while the next could sell Amway...*LOL* Me being a Sprinter and...

Most contracts specify when one is paid Dave....very few carriers pay at POD....If not specifically noted you are not entitled to anything before such time as to what ones contract mentions... 15% is high...there is no argument there... And we advise newbees to be financed for what? at least 3...

DD will probably say too long...*LOL* I don't know what carrier you are with...but in 9 years I have experienced nothing of what you described.... So my turn... Have you been doing this long?

I find it confusing when in here we advise newbees on the virtues of being capitalized and yet we bestow the virtues of com data advances which flies in conflict of the former...:rolleyes: And maybe just to add...the 15% is set so high as to discourage it's use? To make people think financial...

And that nails it....:D

Rlent..your inbox is full..I can not send you a PM!!:eek:

Pay advances should NOT be allowed IMO....If you can't afford to run you should not be in this business...It is a user pay system and you pay the piper when you have your hand out for money you have not even earned yet.:eek: Waiting 3-4 weeks should be not a problem if one is properly set-up to...

Basically CV's are bottom feeders....No real investment, just a regular driver, no special skills, and a dime a dozen and easily replaced.... Do you really think our carrier cares about us? Know your place in the food chain and deal with it.... That is one reason there is such a heavy...

All these "little" wins for true conservatives have to show the number watchers that things are not swinging their way...and some soft conservatives will lean a little back the other way... Maybe you and the wife won't have to bail out yet Hawk!!*LOL*
