Just a few months ago 10 cents was reasonable. That was then... My problem is that the vast majority of my surcharges don't even approach that. I've been busy enough lately to get some doubles and that has helped. It was much better when doubles meant making money! Turning down any freight being...

We're being told that most of these people are so down-trodden that they did'nt have the resources to move. While watching CNN today I could'nt help but notice that quite a few people were smoking. Smoking isn't cheap. It seems to me that someone who can afford smokes and has their wits about...

I think you meant to say UNDER 10,000#. And then there are some states that even want them to come in.

Good point on the funny papers jaminjim. I've seen that too. I think you're right Tec1959, this has probably gone far enough. Maybe we need to take a poll. I think this is a very civil forum and a poll would show very few, if any, people offened by anything going on here.

My personal pet peeve here is lack of punctuation. At least use a period once in a while. As far as the masked profanity, I don't think it's over the top at all. It seems to be, for the most part, just used when someone really wants to express some extra emotion. Kids can turn on the T.V. and...

I am an OOIDA member. But, the reality is that since OOIDA began the trucking industry has taken an incredible downhill slide. Just compare rates and expenses in the early '70s to present day numbers. I'm a member because I think we need a voice, just like LDB said. But what have they done for...

"Overnight regional LTL." Isn't that just a cheap expedite?

I've heard stories about this "honeymoon" period from people with every carrier. I've only been with 2 companies. The first, I did crappy from day 1. Stayed for 9 months waiting for this mythical "busy time" I kept hearing about. When I changed, I did good from day 1 and 6 years later am still...

Just to clarify, I believe you're talking about 1 BOL for 2 trucks. How about it RobA, sounds fishy to me.(Or is that "how aboot it?")

Testing, did I do this right?

LDB, you have to be thrilled to come from that gene pool!!!! Best of luck to your Dad. You go Boy!!!!

Give TryHours a call.

Companies have no legal obligation to pass FSC money on to the contractors. The recent highway bill that was passed was to contain FSC legislation, but it was eliminated at the last minute.

Yes. Otherwise you have to cross in Sarnia.

I would never consider an unexperienced driver. When I was driving big trucks, my boss asked me to train a new guy. I showed him the basics and spent 5 hours with him driving to our warehouse and switching trailers and he was doing reasonably well. There were 3 switches left to do and I left...

That girl sure is flexible! Hmmm......

It's a shame to see the industry lose one of the good fleet owners. I've never driven for an owner, but we've all heard the horror stories. I've given serious thought lately to jumping back in a big truck. I really like expediting most of the time, well, quite a bit of the time. I guess I'll...

RE: What is the philosophic objection RE: Health Miko, being on the road as we are is one of the best reasons to have Blue Cross, it is recognized everywhere you go. It does'nt matter whether you're working or hurt playing football as far as treatment for your injury. It's even recognized in...

Asked Kathy D. to go out with me in High School!
