I would probably take the easy route and just ask them.

I don't know Cheri. I don't think you are going to fix a thing until people take on some personal responsibility. Everyone wants to start at the top with big money and little effort. When jobs are offered, people either won't relocate to them or it is beneath them to take a lower wage. Easier...

After 95 they started using aluminum bushings on the springs. Those are now replaced with brass ones. Not too hard and not a expensive repair.

I believe much of it is driven by new high priced junk. Nice looking trucks that have questionable reliability. I believe that is what is driving the used market. When JD Powers states 67 of 100 new trucks are plagued with problems, that is going to drive the used pre-emissions market.

They tend to be the same questions when the origin is from the same person.;)

Really no clue. Just reporting the news.

NBC news is reporting on Nightly News that Herman Cain is now the GOP frontrunner.

That would be my take. Just go with what works.

Yep...that is one of them. Another coming around the first of the month.

Well that is true. They have been good for the stock investor. Although I did hear this week that Fred said their revenue projections were dropping. Still a good stock in my opinion.

Just for the sake of clarity, might have had a impact at Roberts, but not so much at the Fed. Our length of time on the latter was short lived. When it became apparent that they were going a different direction we left. Their perception of a fleet owner/carrier relationship was and still is much...

Under Reagan corporate taxes were cut and taxes were raised on the lower half in addition to cutting out some of the tax shelters. Under Obama, it is just have the ones 200K and up pay more. On investments, it is 15 percent, but a income tax was already paid on the initial money it took to...

Anything that is "fixed" by the carrier translates into a profitable "fix" for the carrier. Not for the contractor. It is either gaming by the carrier, or their inability to consistently find profitable freight or both. With that said, it really is more tied to the overall rate. Would we...

I would read Phil's posts. I think he explained his reason. I could care less actually. My comments are directed at your post concerning your complaint of hearsay. If you can't explain it, yet you state you know what they are doing, well.......you are going to get hearsay. Nothing complicated.

Maybe because they are former contractors or know some that are still there? I am not understanding what you are being so defensive about? I don't personally have a dog in the fight unless they want a photo of me for the Fedex dartboard.:D You stated they have a "new form". May want to go up...

I will go with Phil's thinking in that one doesn't have to be with a carrier to observe or understand certain events. In the interest of eliminating hearsay, it would be beneficial for those concerned for you to describe the "different form" coming in the future.

With all the changes, maybe those people are no longer there? Just a thought.

Naw.....just have to carry several on the trucks at a time. :D

You may want to ask Camper.

Quite a few on the Alliance board. We delivered yesterday in Laredo, but loaded out the same day for Chicago.
