    Deer Are Pests

    Scared might be a much better term description of deer behavior around roads than stupid. It is not the deer's fault that man has put roads and highways through the middle of their homes.

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    I did. I said that I did NOT INTEND to ridicule the BELIEFS of the Muslim religion and then said that if I had I apologize for it. I take it you missed that post. I DO knock what some extremists are doing in the NAME of the Muslim religion. That post was an email that I got and should NOT have...

    Less Than a Buck to laredo

    I don't know what other trucks are seeing but our truck does LESS business at the end of the week, not more. It is common to get a Monday load on Friday and even sometimes on Wed or Thursday. We have not waited 48 hours this year during the week. We have if you took a weekend into the mix. I...

    Those really low paying loads are often van loads. They are seldom White Glove. They can be surface loads with some dead head too. We have been seeing a lot of runs offered with extreme dead heads as well. Far more than in the past. By extreme dead heads I am talking about 6-800 miles. We have...

    I would have to look at the load to determine why it comes out low. Often it is because of very long dead heads to the pick up. That will often bring down the per mile rate. We see that often. It makes things look bad when they shoot these loads out to trucks that are long distances away. Now...

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    I could not find out their names but it seems that the last Catholics to be crucified was in 2009 in the Sudan.

    Happy Father's Day!

    My sons don't live near us but I will get to spend this Father's Day with my Dad. He is 87 and doing well.

    I am not aware of how and why FDCC sets a rate for a load. Competition comes into play. So does their profit margins. It really does not matter that much to me. I know what I need to move a load and will not move that load if I am not payed what I need. If, because of that, the load does not...

    Obama hits the links again.

    Nothing needs wiped out, just fixed and that would NOT be that hard to do. The problem is there are just too many lazy people that want cared for and catered too rather than earning what they use and need.

    As stated before, we turn down those "silly" loads. If a load is close to paying enough we will put the price that we would run that load for in the "reason" section when we decline that load. Twice last week we got loads for the price we said we could run that load for.

    Obama hits the links again.

    Most likely true. Many reasons for that starting with the two so called parties controlling who gets elected. Too bad, we could really use a real, solid candidate for a change.

    Obama hits the links again.

    I think Obama SHOULD be playing golf, everyday, day in and day out. Maybe then he would not have as much time to do so much damage to the country. I don't care if they have stress, they ASKED for it. Lots of jobs have lots of stress. If they can't handle it they can always leave. Not one of the...

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    Only governments can destroy true faith, or at least they can try. Russia could not do it. China has not been able to nor has any other government. This one will likely not succeed either, despite what some might wish.By the way, who was the "last Catholic" to be crucified?

    I do not believe that it is all that simple. Our rates are up for the year. Both loaded and all miles. It is all in your control. It is up to you to control your business. If FDCC does not meet your needs, move on. If FDCC does not accept your needs, they will tell you to move on. No matter...
