Why isn't Flying J being sued over hot fuel ? They were the ones mentioned most in the original OOIDA article about a year ago . Funny though , similar articles quoting OOIDA never mentioned Flying J . Evidently Flying J has more powerful attorneys than OOIDA . Before falling for this membership...

As stated , this was not an effort by OOIDA alone . What happens when OOIDA takes opposing sides with ATA or PATT ? Has OOIDA gotten any changes on the split sleeper rule ? Have they had it made a law that the person buying the fuel gets the surcharge or even part of it ? I was an OOIDA member...

Thanks for the response , Frank . I used to be able to deduct per diem about 20 days a month . Now I do a lot of deliveries 200 - 300 miles out and am back the same night .

This may be a worthwhile service but drivers with questions should have their dispatch check their eligibility first . I had a 20 year old misdemeanor conviction and noted it on my application . Dispatch knew the ministry to call in Canada and verified I could enter with no problem . No fees ...

My wife and I voted . The dieseltruckresource.com forum had a poll and surprisingly over 23% did not vote . My opinion is that if uninformed voters choose not to vote it is for the better . It's unfortunate that the majority of campaigns are based on mudslinging and voters feel they have to pick...

Drug dealers , prostitutes and such buy stuff too . Pretty nice stuff . A comsumption tax would make them pay tax they are avoiding now .
