    Amonger, if Bolt paid the truck and the truck was owned by Big Al, then his son would be paid by Big Al not bolt. If their son leased the truck from Big Al then their son leased it on to Bolt then their son would be the contractor. This is from Big Al's OP History, we were leased to Bolt last...

    100$ EO members give away!, HOS .

    Slo-ride, FMCSA cannot push it to a later date because of the lawsuit still pending in federal court. If FMCSA ****es off the safety groups then the lawsuit they have going will be before the same court. If they **** off the trucking companies, which is my bet then they will sue the FMCSA, but...

    Stay away from Nations Express !!!

    I have been doing the expediting thing for 6 months and I figured going in it would take a long time to get it down and boy was I right. I have good weeks and crappy weeks and I still screw up all the time. Doing TT for 20 years is a different ball game all together.
