I would agree. Making that type of engine change will have all kinds of challenges. The electrical side would be the worse. Depending on how new, reprogramming of the trans-computer and all the harnesses won't be fun. Assuming the block isn't cracked, much easier and cost effective to rebuild...

No surprise here. Some of the Ron Paul supporters are just shocked. Not sure why? Rand has a political career in front him and his father is retiring. It is obvious he has no chance to win, well except to some of the goofy supporters. Yep, watch for Rand to be out there holding the Romney flag...

Certainly doesn't look good. As mentioned, I hope that driver's injuries aren't too severe. It is a clear reminder of how things can go bad in a matter of seconds.

I think deep down, he wants to write his own constitution.

That comment on "miles" would give me time to pause. My preference would be to focus on the profitabilty. More of them "miles" at the wrong rate only means you are working harder and going broke much faster.

All I can say is OMG! Probably time for another reality check. From the carrier side of things, they are in the business of serving two customers. The shipper and the driver. Some like to think it is only the shipper, but capacity and constant recruiting ads with sign on bonuses tell a much...

I'm not sure why you res-erected a two month old thread, but my take is MUCH different than yours. One of the greatest assets of EO is the ability to vet current carriers. Both the good and the bad. With that in mind, I take offense to you considering other members "low lifes" because your...

We did half that number in a month so there.:p Oops....almost forgot it was in a straight truck.;) I couldn't resist. Just shows there is a carrier for everyone. And for some there are none.

I really think it is a trust issue. We will on occasion take a load where they are talking to the customer to determine price and availability. This might happen if we are the only truck in the area. They either know what parameter we will do something or they will call and ask. We give them a...

If looking at it today, they are probably right in that Obama has a lead there because Romney hasn't done anything there. I do think that might change as all of the people that helped Walker win, will be converting to the campaign for Romney. That gap may close if the republicans start dumping...

It goes to show that there is a large segment of union workers within the people voting. In this case, people are getting tired of footing the retirement bill and benefits of union employees when they themselves don't have that benefit. This will expand. Just yesterday, San Jose and San Diego...

That is a much different issue than knocking someone out of service for just a load refusal. Same thing with a driver that shows available but declines everything because their truck is being worked on. Those are different issues verses a dispatcher being an idiot.

You say they are "perverting the truth". What is the "truth" and whom decides that?

One could say that but that doesn't trump cats and dogs being safely secured in their seat.:eek:

With regards to Panther, I am not aware of trucks getting knocked out of service. They did have a rash of it three years ago but nothing since then. Is this a van thing? We run straights and this has never been a issue.

What else can you say?.....awesome. :cool:

Memo out of Panther to avoid this area.

Here is the latest from everyone favorite place. New Jersey. Exit 16 off I 95 they are pulling trucks off the road and sending them to a football field. Latest report is a six hour delay.

Kinda sad. Quite a few good memories at the Detroiter.

I would agree. As mentioned before, the Mormon issue isn't a deal buster for me.
