*rattle, rattle, rattle goes those chains being yanked* Greg said.. "But if we invade Canada, we won't have to worry about it, will we OVM?" The drop in the Ontarios unemployment rate and the increase in the transportation sector must be the result of the "extra" trucks put on hauling...

Greg said >Yea why not, invade Canada, at least we won't have a >language problem! Now your yanking my chain! And BTW you'd have to learn French. Its the law!!! At least Mexican ain't required reading yet down here.

Nope one other carrier for over 5 years!

Can/US Opening 01.026 Close 1.0185 Experts say theres no holding the Can buck back after to-days economic indicators.

an old saying: Dress for success. or You are what you eat!

In the good ole days 2 drivers would just have a punch out in the lot and go have coffee after that all things settled... with some of to-days crappy drivers they'd prolly shoot ya in the back!

Greg said "But this brings up another point, do you not pay taxes on what you make?" Don't we all? Usually works out only have to pay SS tax.

Used to have it twice till I moved here...Had the best of both countrys!!

Ark....We have turkeys in Canada too!! *LOL* Its a day of family get togethers same as you all down there. Minus the college football.

Greg...Yes that scenerio is a loss... My point is the opposite...If your contracted rate is .77/ mile and it actually runs at .85/ mile do you add this in as bonus and claim it as income for tax purposes?

My last carrier Dynamex has MINUS 5% mileage customers!! I always said to them find me a fueling spot that charges 5% less for fuel!!!

Greg When you say write off the loss are you referring to like Tax write off? And if you are, would you say we also should claim any excess miles as well?

Express-One uses Zip to zip and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. We're usually within 15 miles plus-minus. In a van that gets good MPG's it's not so hard to swallow since at the rate of FSC we actually MAKE money on the FSC end of the trip. The extra miles just bites into the bonus bucks.

I have to be honest here...My last 4 deliveries 2 at DC and 2 Ford have been pleasant. I was told to deliver at plant by NLM but DC wanted it at Logistics the linker actually mapquested it and directions! @ Ford(Torrence) my strap wasn't long enough cause I had to hug pallet instead of thru...

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...

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...
