    Well folks, i'd suggest IF the typer has been round the biz for 20 years, maybe you'd best read it the 4th or fifth time so's ya understand, because of the typ'in or spell'in. Same with da comment bout drunk or uneducated. If'n da fella's been round that long, you may wanna pay attention. I...

    Seems like that wuz a pretty quick whistle there ref. Really quick!! I guess I read an observation on the posters part. Nothing vindictive, personnal, didn't even mention it had happened to him. Coulda helped some of the marginal producers in this biz, stay in this biz. By learning what...

    Hello I am wondering which company to put a truck on with?

    This biz ain't fun every day. The "paid rv'ers" are still having a good time. But, why put up with corporate america "for a few dollars more"? They'll most likely stay in it till the truks wore out. Then?? Can't imagine being a fleet owner leased to someone is even "close" to being worth it...

    Where are we? April 1st

    atm: (and others that the shoe fits) Only a blithering idiot would be stuck (somewhere/anywhere) waiting for the qcomm to beep. If you are, a hobby prolly would be better. Three days? without an offer? or, actually running?? There is a difference! I kinda wonder what folks have done to help...

    Risk Management

    Seems that's the problem ya got when you are contracted to the larger "self insured" types. You end up carrying the empty bag as far as insurance goes. We always provided trucking liability insurance to our contractors, and required our contractors to secure their own coverage for the...

    need advice from the seasoned vets

    Why, Oilerman, Isn't yer word worth anything?? (really, just asking) All good tings seem to come to an end, it seems. If your owner is that cheezy to charge you for transportation, then seems he's THAT cheezy. It's jes too bad the way some squeze the nickel till the buffalo craps...

    TriState

    Problem is here, it seems that some are not "smart" enough to recognize what propriatory information is, and what it means to them. Fact is, ya jes can't give people information. They jes don't know what to do with it. Some need to be the "big man" at the truck stop (info is power), an the...

    Cross dock nightmare

    I seem to be reading a whole lotsa ( I, me, they) with some (don't wanna) mixed in. Seems like a bad combination to me. Why can't you people prepare yourself for the occasional glitch that YOU caused by terminating your mission short of completion.

    What Would You Do?

    And we're still getting plenty of exercise on this site. Jumping to conclusions, an such. How in the world are you going to git along if times git tuff, if'n ya git that bent fer a couple a late days??? Remember, in this business, ya gotta figgure what yer gonna do WHEN ya get hosed, not IF.

    Check Out who is on the Un-Insured Lists That Barry Don't want you to know

    Not zackly a newsflash but in the case of illegals, guess they wouldn't git fixed at home they shouldn't here either. Immagine i'll get piled on by the entitlement croud here but, can't really see why the rest that don't wanna provide when they shurely can for themselves should git fixed...

    I need help

    Big John, for what it's worth to ya trying to help many of em out there is in fact an attempt at futility. Over the years i've seen the wrong people with the wrong reasons enter this biz. Many are past the point of no return before they go on the road, and their bad news don't get better with...

    $1500 a Month??

    I guess I can't follow the logic of turning back a good qualified team that actually "wants" to work hands free, steada nurse maiding a couple dogs. Musta been other discriminating factors. Those of you that keep pets with you on the road must have waayy more time on your hands...
