The old reefer debate rages on. Regardless of who is in or isn't, it seems be becoming a tougher go in that segment. With new fully equipped reefer trucks well over 200k, I don't see consistent rates to support them. As mentioned before, that doesn't mean you can't make money with one, but why...

I believe we are better off with Obama on the course.:cool:

I think they are a good option depending on where you run. Going out west or remote areas, I see a few issues with them. Trying to find one late night or on a weekend, certain areas can't get them right away or you have to wait on a Michelin dealer. Many are 8 to 5 only. We had a few road...

No need to complicate the simple. If a carrier had 1000 trucks and 900 left, you have no turnover if you haven't replaced the 900. You are now a carrier with 100 trucks with no turnover. My phone is now ringing with a new recruiting opportunity.;)

Good advice. A plan "B" should always be in place. If things go south with the Cat, I plan to remove the translucent box roofs and haul watermelons in Florida.:cool:

If they leave and don't come back, that isn't considered turnover.

I would agree. No one can touch our current rates and we are running up against the 72 quite often. The more "miles" concept just doesn't work unless you have the rates to go with it. On the other side of the coin, Panther can be challenging at times, but if you have some patience with some of...

Turnover numbers have little value unless you know what the number represents. As mentioned, are you talking contractors, independents, or something different. Then it gets more complicated if you are trying to blend or compare the truckload industry to that of the expedite industry. Even on...

Happy birthday Chef!

That is true. And don't think for a minute that illegals aren't voting. That is the premise of a current lawsuit in Florida. Florida wants to purge the illegals from voting, and homeland security is refusing access to the database. Now one has a lawsuit against the other. Another waste of...

Just more pandering by Obama. He needs to get as many illegals voting as he can. For a sitting president, the current polling numbers are looking pretty sad. Could have done this when the democrats had control of Congress, but he wouldn't have got anything out of it back then. Now they will...

That is true. ABF and the Fed have very different business models.

You can't unionize independent contractors. As far as ABF doing expedite, they do that already. I don't see exclusive use loads going on pups. But one never knows, look at what happened at the Fed.

I thought all politicians seek the advice of Twisted Sister's Dee Snyder?;)

And I thought my day might be ruined by a "more miles" E1 purchase of ABF.:eek:

That is just frightning. Then again I wonder if Witness has his TV set to record Fox News?

Not hard at all. Most can be done with basically tools although as I get older, a air ratchet is my best friend. If he is a novice, when dropping the starter, tape the wires and mark in case he forgets how it is wired. Or....take a picture with a phone so it can be referenced when installing the...

I would give them a pass as that show is shot in Hollywood. Do you really think they know or could remember who or what George Bush looks like?

All I was pointing out that you put out something that you say is fact based and it is like the others, nothing more than ones opinion.

I don't know Witness, that is basically a opinion from a blogger. Here is one for fun from your same source using MSNBC. Wonder if Fox snuck over there for an hour. ;) Probable Cause Affidavit in George Zimmerman Case Woefully Inadequate - South Florida Criminal Lawyers Blog or...
