    How to get a load

    I'm not sure? The wife and I drove it for awhile and had a team in it for several years. Sold it when it had 950k on the clock. Who would have guessed a baby Cat would last that long. Was running well when we sold it.

    How to get a load

    No. That particular truck wasn't from Jeff Jones. I bought it from a amateur stock car racer that was using to haul his race car. It had 16k on the odometer. I pulled the original box off and sold it and used a box off of a freightliner I had. Took the FL and turned it into a tow truck and sold...

    Sure is. We had that truck in the truck show at the beautiful Detroiter. A big red tomato.:)

    Lowes answer to 15 dollars an hour

    So, if these robots are successful, the company stands to make more profit in ND? Might make a good stock pick if they show promise.

    Businesses don't create jobs?

    I would agree, that raising the minimum wage nets really nothing at all. The difference between 8 and ten dollars an hour still means you have the same amount of poor people. If the problem is ever to be fixed, you have to remove the handouts and replace them with training in jobs that pay...

    Businesses don't create jobs?

    Sure you do. They are the fastest growing economies. Just for the reason I stated. Small and large alike. Less regulation and labor is cheaper. Much easier to launch a business there than it is here.

    Businesses don't create jobs?

    Sure. Happens all the time. Just have to know your market. How Big Companies Thrive In The Third World (COKE,PEP,AAPL) Business will continue to thrive there because there is less regulation and labor is considerably cheaper. Substituting "your reality" doesn't change the actual facts.

    Businesses don't create jobs?

    Saying that business wouldn't succeed without government would be a socialist concept. Turtle is correct, roads prior to government involvement has been completed by private industry. Without the taxes of those companies now, you would have a problem maintaining any of them. As for the welfare...

    Is It Worth It?

    Panther has changed quite a bit since then. I am not aware of anyone waiting 30 days to get paid unless they didn't turn their paperwork in. Depending on the contract it is 7 to 15 days unless you are on "quick pay" That is instance but you pay for that. With regards to large companies that...

    Businesses don't create jobs?

    Without a doubt. I do think they really believe that. That is why they have so much problem governing. Sadly, some fall for it hook line and sinker. Business can survive with minimal government. The same can't be said for the government.

    Businesses don't create jobs?

    It is amazing where they get the thinking that they do. You are right, I forgot all about the whole Romney thing going on at the time. I did give Obama a pass back then because he knows virtually nothing about how businesses operate.

    Businesses don't create jobs?

    Without business, government won't have the money for those roads and bridges. The idea that the government is the job creator is pretty arrogant no matter how they try to spin it. As to whether Bush taxes cuts created jobs, it depends on your source. Republicans say 8.1 million and the...

    Should I get back into Expedited??

    What you would see now is radically different than the Roberts days. Well except the rates. They are about the same as they were then. ;)

    How many is too many?

    No. That was tied to other issues. With regards to Panther mileage variances, they have gotten better over the years but do still occasionally need to be challenged. Especially when nautical miles are used verses practical.

    Is It Worth It?

    That I would agree with. Pros and cons to each. We have done both so always looking at both sides of it.

    Is It Worth It?

    Very true. That was just a easy target on my pad at the time I posted it. My point being that those loads exist but cargo van loads over 1000 miles and paying over two a mile are not the norm. Again for the obvious reason, if they did as they send emails out, everyone would be grabbing them.
