    Actually, the long and short of this thread is the fact way too many people "wait" for something to happen rather than "causing" something to happen. Myself if I were in that predicament, i'd of spent my reserves to git myself back on the road rather than "waiting" for someone else to drive the...

    An Expedite Upset in the Making?

    Attention Minnesota Expediters

    I for one tink it should make no difference if they are considering some fool that overextended himself by buying high dollah leather seats or pristine equipment (that can't/won't don't wanna) take some freight because of paw scratches or tape residue. OR, some fella that APPLIED for the grant...

    need info

    That is correct (not). There is a general misunderstanding about just how diversified the equipment is that is utilized by smaller companys. After all- - Small companies can haul ANYTHING, from ANYONE, to ANYONE, ANYWHERE their permits allow. Jes like the biggies. Ain't it amazing????

    Ability to See Your 'Pals' on a Board

    In theory, transparency is a good thing. In practice (because of human nature) - it is not. Way too many people don't handle too much information very well, and the other thirty percent don't get the message. Whomever devised this program, will find they have opened a LARGE can of worms.

    "Could you move your truck so I can park?"

    Good story Joe!! SEE, there are people out there that have learned to "cooperate and graduate", unlike some of the whiners on this thread. It may supprise many, someday, to figgure out, that the world really don't "revolve" round their toy truck, or them for that matter.
