    Barney Frank to retire

    I'm not sure honest is the category I would put him in. I am surprised the Occupiers haven't went after him. He basically ran freddie and fanny into the ground and continues to destroy it right up to today. Just like the banks, he is giving out huge bonuses and at the same time asking for more...

    Legal or NOT?

    Guess it is time for a reality check. You were sent a empty move prior to the second load which you get 100 percent of. When they loaded the second run, that distance to shipper converted to deadhead which is a higher amount and paid by the carrier to the owner. You only get a percentage of...

    Legal or NOT?

    I would agree. The answers he is looking for are right in their contract. I would advise reading it carefully, and consult the ACTUAL fleet owner you are driving for since the contract is in his/her name. The fleet owner should be addressing your issue. Save your money and forget the attorney...

    Legal or NOT?

    Seem to be some holes here and you have to understand what your offer actually was that you failed to do. First you said you weren't paid for the actual load, and then follow that with you weren't paid for the empty move. Panther does not pay for a empty move and deadhead on the same traveled...

    Tonight's debate: Newt Gingrich/Wolf Blitzer

    Starting to look like the republicans are going to be choosing between Newt or Romney. I don't see the others getting traction fast enough to be a contender except for Cain, and he is dropping right now. Once the media goes after Gingrich, he would be the closest to advance because he is third...

    Thread is starting to look like the 99 percenters verses the 1 percent.

    To incorporate or not?

    A whole lot goes into making that decision. Everything from your personal finances, how much paperwork are you willing to do, to how much would you actually save. You are right, depending on circumstances, I wouldn't incorporate for the sole purpose of escaping liability issues. A competent tax...

    I wonder if Landstar recruiting has relocated to Green, OH yet?

    Police evict protesters

    I think you may be misinformed. The democrats want to increase taxes, not reduce them. They want a increase in the top tier in addition to letting the Bush tax cuts expire. That is why this super-committee can't get a deal done. I am not even including the round of tax increases that are coming...

    Backhauls what does your Carrier you for them.

    One can call it a backhaul or just simply "driver secured freight". Doesn't really matter. What matters is the profitablity of the load(s). Nothing more than that. Some of those loads can be dirt cheap all the way to paying much higher than anything advertised on this site. With regards...

    Contractor Lawyer Needed

    I would personally recommend someone that is actually in the state in which you reside and operate out of. Many different reasons that your hired attorney will tell you.

    Waterboarding is torture says McCain

    If by chance I was in a situation to save 3000 of my fellow citizens and time was limited in securing information to save lives, it is a no-brainer assuming you have exhausted all other options. I would gladly drop to whatever level to get it done. No need to complicate the simple or "worry...

    Police evict protesters

    It is that reason and about 100 others as to why the Federal Government shouldn't even be involved in education.

    Straight vs Sprinter vs Cargo

    I would have to say the numbers may be close for a solo van verses a solo straight. For teams, it isn't even a close call. I have yet to see a team van gross over 200k or even get close. Obviously the net matters, but even with expenses figured, you still wouldn't be close. Of course, how...

    TriPac APU

    It is likely a low voltage cut off switch. It also prevents a overcharge of the batteries as you would have two alternators running.
