Most of it is a mixed bag. Petes and Kenworths have higher resale, more durable, and better service network. Volvos are light on service and have a heavy front end for straight truck applications. Freightliners are cheaper and have a larger cab which teams like. They do have many service...

Ok....what lies and misconceptions are being spread? So far the ones I have heard appear to be true.

That was precisely my point. We will all find out eventually.

The information is likely coming from a carrier. Shelley did a great article addressing some of the liability problems with the multis. Just a matter of how much exposure a carrier wants. Case in point, I am aware of a wreck involving a multi that had shipments on from two different carriers...

Have to keep an open mind. If one specific religion was the "right one", would we all not be practicing it?

Ummm??? Sounds like that is the same way some nameless carriers operate. :cool:

As anything government, things could change. As the law is currently written, these large carriers that opted out, can still sell policies. Either ones that meet the minimum requirements or those that don't. If and when they go to single payer system, that will be the end of them. But.....save...

I don't think you are following. Their risk pool would be different because they don't have to cover everyone. In the extreme, they would have to offer say maternity, but only insure people over 50. That would cost them little because there wouldn't be that many participating. If someone is...

The premise of companies outside of the exchanges can decide who they want to insure. The coverage would have to be the same or a policy holder would have to pay the non insured penalty. For some, that may not be a bad trade off. In those cases, the policy could be written to cover anything...

What may be of interest to some and Joes article touched on it, is whether large insurance carriers outside of the exchanges offer a better deal to consumers. Many of these are large companies that chose not to participate in the exchanges. The indication is that many will be better even if...

Could be a crack in the back flow valve. Fuel pressure at ignition start is different than a clutch start. My advice would be to pressure test the fuel system with a set of gauges. It could be a leak in the lines all the way to one or several of the injectors. That type of leak won't likely...

He is talking about itemized deductions and depreciation. Basically the same that a straight or tractor would use.

I will send you a PM.

Not sure what your question is? Are you looking for someone in contractor relations?

Only part of the money for unemployment comes from the Fed. Most comes from the state. Same with workers comp. Those are administered through the state.

It does but the dollar number is much less than people on welfare. You start adding in free housing, free medical, free utilities, free food, free education, free internet, free phones, free cable, free clothes (although it only provided 50.00 dollar shoes instead of the 200 Micheal Jordon...

Umm...no. Now they say "my unemployment is running out and I need an attorney to get me on social security disability". If I say "I am mentally unstable", I am in.

I am ok with unemployment because workers pay in to that system. That is different than welfare, snap and all these other programs.

I would agree. With regards to say welfare, I think we should as a society should help people out. I do however think there needs to be a time limit for providing that service. Once people realize there is a time limit, then they are more motivated to do something for themselves. This...

Logic would say the more credentials and or items on the truck like a reefer or liftgate the more prone you would be to that or they could use any truck.
