    Is it slow all over ???

    I think many that run for carriers with inadequate coverage are clueless as to what they should and shouldn't have. It is usually the same people when ask "what is your cost per mile"?, you get a deer in the headlight look. They just go for the cheapest.

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Way too early. I don't think a lot of that matters. It will comes down to who has the cash and plays well to the camera. Have to remember, even small mistakes by a Republican will be magnified ten fold with the MSM. They need a story because Hillary isn't talking. lol.

    Financing

    Keep in mind that undercapitalization is the number one reason for any business failure. Did I mention I gambled $5.00 and won $1000.:D Have to look at all sides when jumping into this with your circumstances.

    New Terrorist Plot

    With all the stupid stuff we do on a constant basis, nothing would surprise me.

    Welfare reform in Maine

    A trucker at 43k wouldn't be paying 28 percent. As far as CBS getting a rebate, well it is like NBC. Have to look at the whole picture. lol.

    Dealership service horrors

    Their dealership in Ringgold is pretty decent as well. Been there several times and good service every time. Quite a few dealers in the Freightliner network could take a page out of their playbook.

    Expedite Expo 15th Annual Expedite Expo!

    Ah yes, I remember beautiful Woodhaven. Tents and fans. :) Still had a pretty good time and enjoyed meeting so many folks. Even had the little red wagon there.

    Forced Dispatch

    I would agree with your premise but I don't think it is reflective of most businesses.

    Obviously deportation doesn't work.

    If he keeps coming back, he will eventually get his benefits, ,free education, and free healthcare

    sad sad day

    She will be a formidable candidate because we are dealing with a ill informed electorate. They just want the first woman president. My personal opinion is "just say no".

    NAFTA? Where'd it go?

    The auto freight is still there. Only difference is that much of the parts that came out of Canada, now comes from Mexico. Border towns like Laredo are still pretty busy. From a labor standpoint, you can get two employees instead of one.

    Welfare reform in Maine

    I would agree with what is mentioned. The typical business doesn't plan to fail but external changes often are the reason. Could be competition, change is state or local tax structure, demographics change, all the way to lease issues. Many of these type of stores actually lease the location. So...

    Welfare reform in Maine

    I think it is just liberal spin that people eat up on business. It is true they are closing 200 under performing stores. What they leave out is they are opening 200 stores in better areas. Good grief...

    Welfare reform in Maine

    Whether a business received money or not has nothing to do with personal responsibility as I see it.

    Welfare reform in Maine

    Seems pretty simple. Provide assistance for a prescribed period of time if they aren't disabled, and then cut it off. If a family member decides to volunteer their money or resources, nothing wrong with that. They are volunteering. That is different than mandating someone else pay for it. That...

    Welfare reform in Maine

    Welfare has its place but it should have limits on it. As mentioned, shouldn't be a career path. Corporate welfare exists and it should be contained but entitlements/benefits is the largest part of government expense. Either control it now, or someone else will be controlling since we are...

    100% FSC, Really?

    Have to make sure you are looking at the whole picture. It is the total rate for ALL miles. If a company is paying DH, relocation money, layover, detention, all of those things have to be factored. Some essentially use the FSC for those so it is a matter of, are you in the same place? Maybe...

    whats panthers current fuel surcharge?

    That "B" unit rate is for a straight that can only haul 5k or less. They are not talking about vans or sprinters.

    It's About Time...

    While Fox News has its faults, I don't think I would compare the Rolling Stone mess to "it happens all the time at Fox". Just not seeing it.

    "I'm entitled to my beliefs, so you're required to be ruled by them"

    I wonder how some would square this topic with the Supreme Court ruling on Hobby Lobby vs Ocare?
