Man am I good then...We were as one says positioned at the Loves just outside Decatur, Mississippi when a load order was processed for a Sprinter in Decatur. And I thought I was lucky.

I think we need to toughen up and start deporting moms, dads and kids!! The feds also should change the law that children born here from illegal parents ARE NOT U.S. CITIZENS. Just start rounding them up and tossing their butts slowly and methodically. And should the Mexican government...

By The Associated Press PIERRE -- Gov. Mike Rounds is asking that flags be flown at half-staff Wednesday in memory of South Dakota's latest Iraq War victim. Decorated U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Zachary Tomczak, 24, was shot to death last week while on a patrol in a Baghdad suburb. He joined the...

For the record...I give the ATA no crediblity at all after all this HOS crap.

Kinda like W.V increasing weight limits for coal trucks last year on highways...

Well if the Mexican trucks pass U.S. standards there should be no problem? Correct? And when them old rigs start breaking down here that'll help U.S towing companies. And since there is going to be a shortage of drivers in the U.S. according to the ATA. This should help with that problem. Most...

I was thinking and this popped into my head to address alot of issues. When Mexican trucks enter the U.S they will be parked for 10 hours to start their clock on the HOS. After which ALL HOS rules must be followed. Upon leaving the U.S. log book will be audited and any fines paid upfront. 3...

Thanks for the intro Moot. Terry has it bout right.. Vans are at the bottom of the food chain to understand this is important to the vanner. However the Sprinter has created a new species to the chain. We cannibalize off the C's & D's more then the vans. There is a growing market somewhat for...

It could be said... The more I am exposed to the government processes down here, you guys are almost as government controlled as in Canada.

Why does the U.S have such long patent rights? Is that the pharm companies lobby at work?

RE: October 4 the day change the world forever >You really have to yank my chain over that, don't you! Like a dog after a bone...*L*

About the prescription deal: Most of mine I get at Walmart under that 4 dollar deal for generic and the ones that aren't I get from the internet in Canada for less then half the U.S. cost INcluding the shipping!! Lipitor goes on the generic list next year and the FDA just refused the maker a...

Further to quote greg from a thread Sept. 27th/08 "This business is really about how you leverage your opportunities with your equipment and most of all luck – being in the right place at the right time. Any "experts" want to refute the luck theory?

RE: October 4 the day change the world forever Lets see... 2006 October 4th Jennifer Grenham gets nominated for best Governor of the Union?????

greg said "You do know that the reason they have reset all the lights and raised the speed limits was not because the people wanted it but to use more fuel so to collect more taxes, could it be true?" That would be the most childish and most immoral action they could take if true.

Greg is right...nothing builds a country better then a good old fashion war...Iraq sorry to say is NOT a full blown war more a police action and does little for our economy... Look at history and correlate the economies after and during a Great War.

That is screwed up... Michigan being a water state you'd think marina fees would be taxed. With some of the roads being so bad you'd think auto repairs would also be taxed...these 2 alone would generate alot of income for the state. They've taxed alot of stuff that creates small...

Experts??? Our income, there is a direct correlation between the length of load and load frequency and our pay cheque. EI: My load value $250, next guy out gets $1000 trip, My next trip is $450, next trip out is $900.. My total pay $650 the other guys $1900....This is experience? Or dare I...

True...to a point... You can correlate all you want but if your previous load doesn't clear close to when the next customer calls your sol. Or yet if the next truck gets unloaded a half hour before you HE MAY get the next load because he pod'd before you because my lift trucker went on...

Sometimes I think I outsmart myself thinking where freight is available and move when I shouldn't and stay when I don't. When your new things just happen for no rhyme or reason. You can do chart and graphs all you want, but good ole fashion luck figures in more times then not. But knowing where...
