Did I actually do it?

I was with a company that had a clause that said something to the effect of a Qualcomm not being required. I wonder how things would have gone if I didn't put one on? Shoot, it was the pits with it.

I think it's because they think if a driver quits, there will be less of a chance that they'll have to deal with "disgruntled former O/O" kinds of retribution. You know, the kinds of things that have so many of the companies we go to in a "lock down" mode. Boy, how nice a guy am I? I even...

Reading Turtle talking about the perception of internet use being a problem reminds me of when we got our kids their first Nintendo. At the time, there was all this concern about video games isolating kids from the rest of the world. At our house, that was far from the truth. After school, a...

No, they sure don't. And, ain't NOOOBODY guaranteein' me diddly squat right now. The last 10 days have tanked for me. I was just using that as an illustration of the CYA clauses that can be found in carrier agreements. I understand it and was making no judgment.

Many lease agreements have language along the lines of, no guarantee to provide freight and the lease can be terminated by either party without cause. Having said that, I think they would prefer the O/O to quit, rather than be fired.

The short answer is, things are tough right now. More so for some than others. Most successful expediters stay out longer than 2 weeks. There are exceptions, of course. Spend some time going back through the threads in Newbies, General, and recruiters. You'll learn a lot.

Shocks and tires ... Soup and sandwich... Baseball and hot dogs... They all go together.

Can't you find someone else to pick on? Geez...

Back somewhere around Y2K, Ford had a prototype cargo van for expedite that never went to production. Am I warm?

I'm not sure what problems "we" have, LOL, but that was, in no way, shape or form, a personal attack. It was simply pointing out info that was false. And, you were, after all, the one that posted it. This is a glowing example of something I said in another thread this morning. Disagreement taken...

Actual attacks are rare. Disagreements? Oh yeah, there's plenty of those. The problem is that some people take simple disagreements as a personal attack and then it just goes downhill from there. Personally, I don't see the need of an announcement. Rather than leaving for an extended period...

From pennyless pauper to ranting windbag. What a success story! ROFLMAO!! Seriously? Lonely trucker dating profile?

The nerve of you, snubbing the grandiose drama of the announcement like that!

Man, that's a whole lot of forehead. He looks a little like that martian in the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

When my ex and I moved up north, we bought a small, 40 acre "gentlemans" farm. I didn't do much of any actual farming. The ex had a couple horses and we let the neighbors hay it. I did buy a couple of charlioux(sp?) steers to finish and butcher. We took a half and other friends took the rest. My...

Hmmm, let's see, a spring break like the Profs, or a spring break drinking beer and looking at college girls hooters? Hmmm... Glad to hear you made it through O.K.!

So, Mr. Vango, or whomever you are, (that all got by me, I didn't even notice), you say you've been in Chi Batmans shoes. Did you go on the internet and complain about everyone that you perceived to be your problem, without any mention of the role you played in your situation? Or, did you do...

You know you have to be a union member to do that.

Exactly! One of my best friends is a hillbilly, a fact that I remind him of very regularly.
