Not quickly. They would have to get a cdl-B. But they will infiltrate the industry if they do get amnesty. Vans are too easy to get in to so they would feel the impact first. Looks like it is already starting.

If they have not achieve their desired level of success then rather than complaining, they would be better served to find the ones that are successful whether black, latino, or whatever and follow in those footsteps. Most are not born successful. It is a learned trait.

That would be discrimination and not politically correct.

Just wait until they give amnesty to 11 million illegals and they can get drivers licenses.

Very nice.

If someone that is able body and unemployed, then they need to "take care of business". It may not "pay what they need" initially, but one has to start somewhere or you have people that resign themselves to "it doesn't pay enough so I will never work again and live off everyone else". As...

You aren't going to restrain the "greed" because that is who provides the employment. Restrain that like you see now and bang.....unemployment goes up....or that employment turns to part time. Just a reality that we live in. If someone is in a company that downsized, they have to change their...

Happy birthday!. Hope it is a good one.;)

Life isn't fair. Unless of course you are looking for a more socialist society. Capitalism has to thrive in order for employment to increase. Just a reality because they are holding the money. Most able body people that aren't working I find create their own situation. They either make...

Well...Obama did ask the NBA and NFL but they declined. I am surprised he hasn't asked the rap and hiphop folks. Maybe that is coming? Rates are going to go up. If you are going to insure 30M more that don't have coverage now, pretty good guess everyone will be footing the bill. And of...

"Be afraid, very afraid".:cool:

If one is contracting their services to drive, that is different than an actual vehicle lease. The first can be anything the fleet owner and the driver agree to. On a actual vehicle lease, Turtle is correct. The components attached to the vehicle would usually be included in the set lease price...

I wouldn't worry too much about it. They have carriers doing lease purchases that would be a bigger fish to go after verses fleet owners and that hasn't happened. But like anything, it could always change and if it does, folks will adapt. Since they already approved what we basically see now, a...

That is all true. But from a legal standpoint, they still consider it a loss. Additionally, when looking at workers comp on a independant contractor, that varies significantly depending on the state where the driver is from. For example, a IC from NJ can opt out of workers comp but must also pay...

I understand your line of thinking but the IRS or even the insurance industry doesn't view it that way. Case in point would be if a independant contractor was involved in an accident and wasn't at fault, a subrogration process would award "lost wages" for the time the vehicle is down. Doesn't...

Your are welcomed as well. Don't want anyone feeling left out. :p

It only says whether a profit or loss can be realized. If a truck breaks down on a load, the independent contractor would lose revenue, and possibly have additional expenses whether hotel, fuel, or anything else. It doesn't say it has to be "equal" in any regard. Inside or outside of trucking...

And each day it gets a little less.

Sure I did. We welcome everyone back. :cool:
