    The Health Police are Coming

    But, but, what happened to the $246 billion that tobacco companies paid to the states or the $1 per pack federal tax and the $1.50 average tax per pack the states rake in?

    Why is it?

    Whatever this force or power is, it also directs rocks and pregnant June bugs to the eye level section of the driver's side of the windshield.

    Any idea who this is??

    No QC fees, that's an extra $35/week. I'm not sure if that will offset this though: -Insurance requirements: $1,000,000 commercial liability/$100,000 cargo

    Question for Musician Expediters

    It would probably sound similar to the way it appears on paper, especially if transposed for the kazoo.

    Fuel Costs Paid

    If in your original post you were quoting ad copy from a specific carrier, then sure, the wording was misleading, that's what advertising is all about. FedEx is misusing the term "fuel surcharge". A fuel surcharge is an extra charge levied to the shipper (paying customer) to offset the volatile...

    Fuel Costs Paid

    I think most here would agree with that. I certainly do! Many carriers today use fsc as a profit center in the form of charges to their customers and fsc programs paid to contractors. Okey dokey,now what is your point? As I stated, Panther pays fuel cost from point of dispatch, not the entire...

    Fuel Costs Paid

    I agree. With a van I watched my fsc take a huge dive, almost always at or less than the structured fsc. I was pretty much coerced into going with the structured plan or leaving Panther. One thing with the structured fsc, it removes one more variable when deciding whether to accept or decline...

    Getting Started. Advice Please. Out of Las Vegas, NV

    If obtaining a CDL B is no problem, then do it now, before you go looking for a job with a fleet owner. You may not want to hear this, but you have no experience and therefore nothing to offer a fleet owner other than that you are fresh meat. At least with a CDL B you are improving your...

    Dave, are your trucks still on the variable fsc program?

    Fuel Costs Paid

    Panther pays for fuel from the point of dispatch to pickup. Unfortunately what they pay for deadhead per mile is less than what my mpg is. Currently Panther is paying .18/mile for a cargo van from point of dispatch to pickup. My cost for fuel currently is about .22/mile. Panther's fuel...

    Pro Death

    I agree. You can't have it both ways. If you are pro life and believe in the sanctity of life, all human life, then you can't support capital punishment. Would the system that imposed the "lawful sentence" on the guilty be part of the same system that made abortion legal? Scuse me while I...

    Pro Death

    I don't and I don't have the slightest idea why you even asked this question! You pressed me with the adoption question and I felt I needed to qualify my answer. I never said I wanted you dead. You are the self-proclaimed realist with real concerns about overpopulation. I'm trying to help...

    What about this El Paso Place?

    Whenever I deliver to a place that is a long way from anywhere I ask for some extra money up front before accepting the load. This alleviates some of the pain to get back to anywhere.

    Remembering Jack Berry

    I never got to meet Jack and Gracie but traded some private messages on E.O. and we shared a few interests outside of expediting. While many of us were saddened by Jack's passing, some have benefited. Wolvurine was able to capitalize on Jack's death by getting a few extra loads to keep his...

    Pro Death

    None, but I do donate money, infant clothing and toys to a local charity that assists pregnant women and women with infants. I'd be happy to buy you a lifetime membership in the Kervorkian Society. Send me your vital statistics and relevant personal information and I'll see what I can do...

    A Pakistani bot? Not that it matters. Once we get rid of all you foreigners, Wolvurine will have so many load offers he can't handle that I may even benefit.
