    Idleaire in trouble

    Lawrence, I agree wholeheartedly, that IF folks NEED those neat things, and NEED to be at a truckstop, they should support the industries that support them. As long as the industry don't try and take a seat at your table (as most do). But, the ones that need those neat things, didn't support...

    60/40?/fair?

    The real problem with all the non negotiating attitudes is.... when you start nickel and dimeing each other, you find yourself walking past dollars to pick up dimes. Question is, would you rather wait a couple hours for the freight to be loaded, or, be setting at a truck stop, wondering where...

    Why do people get into this Business and take off 25% of the year?

    The "because we can" thing is the problem, generally. Many "shouldn't". But that is the nature of the beast. Folks get to some neat places in this business, and don't have the sense to enjoy where they are at. All need to try and take meaningful/quality time. Not for things like having a...

    60/40 revisited?

    yep Joe, geographical cost of living has some to do with it. However, i've had folks come to me and say they need a grand a week. No problem, thats do-able. But they show up in a ten year old car, I find they live in a trailer, or still rent an apartment, and "need" a grand a week. Thats a...
