I stand with you brother!

I heard the guy from Double D Expedite took his toys and went home. There may be an opening or two...

Huh? I'm saying every dispatcher isn't looking at the same board. What are you talking about?

If o/o "x" signs on with 3 or 4 carriers who all get their freight from the same place, it's their fault if the load gets bid down. There is much more to this way of life. It isn't simply "bait and wait". You are trying to compare apples and oranges. Two dispatchers bidding on the same load is...

I appreciate your attempt to discredit my way of doing business but the fact is I don't run for four carriers, I run for two, both of which get freight in very different ways. There is no cross bidding of freight as one of my carriers does no bidding, they exist only to book freight for a...

I don't know who runs that cheap but I don't. My rates are higher now running multiple as they were 5 years ago running for one big carrier, not to mention I have no tracking costs, i.e. QC, etc. I also make enough to cover health insurance. I know of many "big carrier" drivers who cannot say...

Exactly my feeling on the Sprinter. When you add up all the services, general maintenance, and inevitable breakdowns this vehicle will experience, not to mention the rates paid per mile vs. a cargo van, I am sticking with the gasoline van. I can buy an excellent used cargo van for around 8K, run...

C.I.S. is my insurance agent and I own a multi-carrier fleet. Shelly insures all my vans, fully, with all the carriers we run with. I only bring this up because I am sure she is not condemning running for multi-carriers, only the alleged "bad" ones.

Hmm.. Thank God you drive less and make more.

So many scream about Capitalism and lost freedoms, too much competition, etc. until freight gets slow and rates go down! Then they want price supports. LOL.

Clearly you did not read what I actually said about the declaration. It reflects how I feel. That is all I am saying. The UN is chocked full of meaningless protocols that have never been ratified. Knowing this does not change how I feel. I'm a Liberal ya know. We feel things.

Honestly, other than your disdain for the U.N., what is your problem with the UDHR?

Let's hope it stays that way.

Not irrefutable and, furthermore, What you are accusing me of can be characterized as exactly what this forum is here for. You're welcome and thanks to you as well. I agree. I didn't say it was a treaty or law of kind. All I am saying it is more in line with what I believe. Sadly...

I am sure the rates are less than you are accustomed to being with Load 1 and all. We don't mind though. Our philosophy is drive more make less!

Beware the Military Industrial Complex.

I just did. The costs are out of control because of the law suits you describe but also because the HC providers know they can load up the procedures and they will get paid. A lot. I think this will be reduced under the current plan. Answer mine and I'll answer yours. Good question. When...

Oh great! A confederate sympathizer! Not at all surprising.

I'm not much for the health care plan but I agree something needed to be done. The insurance companies and HC providers are out of control with their pricing. I don't believe the concrete is dry on it yet. As far as redistribution goes, unless you are on the very top or the very bottom it isn't...
