And the learning continues.... It may not work for that/those specific independents, or that type of independent period? I guess what I'm asking, is that just because those independents fail, won't there be some more warm bodies that fill their void when they do, in an endless, ugly cycle?

I'm fairly familiar with our carrier's use of outside contractors to haul their freight. I became familiar when sitting in Woodstock, Ontario, and asked why I turned down a fairly cheap load. After I told them we wouldn't move our truck at that rate, they replied that if we didn't, they would...

Gotta read the terms of service, and you were probably told why, sem63. You have less than 10 posts, which qualifies you as a 'drive-by' poster when posting negative content. Say "thanks for the tip," and then you'll have 7. Get the picture?

As the guy with orthopedic shoes, I stand corrected. Maybe indirectly; maybe sometimes directly. On occasion we do get offered bid board loads. Guess I should look at that differently. Learned something new today. Thanks, Charles.

Yes, but is there an incentive to get involved....like many of the bigger players causing a stink with Sylectus? Obviously, I don't have a dog in this fight, but the downward pressure on rates would drive me, and my contractors nuts. I'm just curious.

How much did you spend on your truck, CM? Next, how much time did you do in Surface Expedite before you put that WG/TVAL truck in the fleet? Now, do you get Greg's point?

If you were on your way to Massachusetts, you were probably on I-95, and that is the George Washington Bridge. If it makes you feel any better, it's a lot better than it used to be. Wonder how you'd feel if you were getting bounced around in a tractor cab and learned you had to pay $65 to...

You guys are so far ahead of the curve. Where's that 'envy' button?

For the last month, TAB Bank in Utah has been promising "big changes" on their website. Apparently, these changes were started last weekend. We have been unable to log on to our account online, and their customer no-service number has either dumped our calls, put us into a voicemail box that is...

Out of the blizzard....in Iowa now....on way to Missouri.

We're a little north of you. NB lanes were closed last evening. We stopped in Watertown last night, after we went sideways 2x, but the conditions were improving, so we trudged on. Woke up just a bit ago, after stopping to sleep at a rest area, and it's uglier now. Still going to...

I bet he's got some of that FedEx-Qualcomm action, too. While we're at it, I bet his thumb's into Caterpillar, as well.

Nicely played.

Algae can be grown vertically, Moose, in the desert. Algae production doesn't compete at all with feed stock, or grazing land. One of the reasons I believe it holds so much promise.

Can you please define 'compensation', Leo?

I know little about it, Joe. Got any good materials on it?

A two-term president has 728 days in the middle of beginning and end days of their presidency. My memory is fading a tad, so maybe some of you can help me remember who was the president in the middle of 2008 when gas was well over $4.00/gallon. I realize that gas prices toward the end of a...

Worthy of some popcorn. I'm gonna go get some. Full disclosure: Myrian nor I have ever owned shares of Orville Redenbacher.

That's a negative, cupcake. Pretty certain that Cheri is the holder of said decoding device. I think she told me in your case, it would translate Panther Speak to Yamoo-ese. Hope I wasn't unclear.

Not defending Fyda (never done business there), but the labor guide for our engine says four hours. It seldom takes three. Hope that helps.
