    About That GNP thingie ....

    Kind of easy to be dismissive based on where things currently stand. If Romney even felt a little bit threatened by the "revolution", he would start spending money in that direction. Not a penny yet but interesting to watch. Who knows, maybe he will convert the Gingrich crowd to votes since he...

    About That GNP thingie ....

    It would be fun to see Paul and Obama go at it. Not very likely though. I think the site references from a Paul supporter is more wishful thinking than anything else.

    XPO Logistics ?

    Insane is right. But they get some of the bottom feeders to run at those rates. Of course they die a slow death, but are quickly replaced by the next batch.

    LRT, Landshark, or Errands 1st

    May want to move where the smaller companies can get freight. Like in where the larger companies are likely to run out of trucks.

    Hope & Change, Fundmental Transformation, Now its.. Forward..

    I think "Forward" is ok. We are moving "Forward" towards more debt, spending, mandates, apologizing, taxing, and so many other things.

    LRT, Landshark, or Errands 1st

    I would do some heavy research on all of them. Most are reliant on the big carriers for their freight.

    Miami-Dade County Misplaces 298 New Cars

    Maybe Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was going to give them to the GSA. After all, she is from Miami. Oh darn, I forgot. She is worrying lately about what Romney's wife is wearing.

    LRT, Landshark, or Errands 1st

    I think I would just go and run "Errands". No point in chasing any of them for cheap loads or chasing the pay. Never heard of a company called Errands.

    I like this guy!

    Considering he is in fourth place currently it really is a very long shot. Like he needs them all to drop out. At this point I am not sure he can even beat Santorum who isn't really in the race at this point. Might get past Gingrich but that isn't saying much. I don't really see a way for him...

    I like this guy!

    Well let me ask this question Rlent. Without links, pictures, or anything else, do you still think Paul is going to win the nomination? Just have to wonder at this point.

    I like this guy!

    I can't argue that. Maybe that is why they aren't voting. They are still sleeping.;)

    just a few questions for the senior expeditors

    Can't say anything on Bolt but I can say at Panther, 1.60 a mile would be a average for many depending on what the contract is since there are many. Straights just on the base rate are at 1.20 to 1.40 for a dry van plus FSC. .30 cents extra on Government jobs. Reefers are 1.55 to 1.75 on the...

    Hit by Lightning

    We had that happen and it fried the QC. Big burn spot on the top of the truck but no other damage. Don't know who you have for insurance, but it should be covered.

    Cat Coolant in Fuel

    Not sure if it helps your situation, but we had a similar situation and it turned out to be a cracked injector tube. Very difficult to detect.

    Supposed non force dispatch.

    That is usually the biggest problem at many carriers including my own. The recruiting side is disconnected from the operational side. As operations sends people out the door from goofy game playing, the recruiters are throwing cash to try to subsidize it. Some spend way too much time...

    I like this guy!

    And there is his problem. He can gather a crowd but can't get them to vote. If so, he wouldn't be in last place. I guess the good news while a little late, he may be able to finish second since everyone else dropped out. Instead of a half hour speech at the convention they may give him an hour...

    Supposed non force dispatch.

    Recruiters are only there for the "First" pieces of information on a carrier. They should not be there for the final decisions.

    Fedex Flagship from MATS finally hits the road

    Awesome ride! Including the heated seats.;)

    Landstar Agents

    Most of what we have done has been manufacturing. Don't think we have done anything that was automotive. Easy to work with and Panther is already set up in their systems. One call basically does it all.
