I wouldn't worry too much about the trip packs. After all someone took care of them before DHL came along. What concerns me is the thousands of little yellow vans that are going to look for a place to go. These drivers are going to need to find someplace that will take them.

I agree with Leo on this one. If the owner would pay for this insurance it would take an average of 10% of the drivers pay right back out of the owners pocket. That brings the owners pay to 30% or less.

WOW, such a big word to define a person with mixed race. Mulatto, I'll just bet that less than 1 % of the people ever use that word. I never knew about it until I read it here. You say racism elected him. Well would you say that as many people voted against him because of his color? Sure...

I never fails to amaze me how some people will yell the loudest, "I am not a racist, it is not about race" Keep telling yourself that and someday you may convince the rest of us. Most of the world is celebrating today because of what happened yesterday. Anyone who thinks that our entire...

If the shipper, don't have a clue, and don't have the proper plaquards, then I would wonder if they even know what they are shipping. With the possible fines up to $25,000.00 plus jail time, I think I would pass on their load. Maybe the dollar amount and jail time is only for air...

Well for one thing, you will not really be a "C" unit so i don't see any company paying you C rate. However I can see them expecting you to carry C freight. The second thing is your empty weight. Even with a GVW of 12,500# you wont be able to carry much more then 3000# I know that logging...

I don't know about tha owner making all that much money. I have been there and know a little bit about a 60/40 split. The owner can make money only if the driver works. If the driver just uses the van to make enough to get by on, then the owner is going to loose his caboose.

The first thing a person should do is let someone know that they are sick, and where they are. If nobody knows to check on you then you could die in that truck. Well you could anyway, but if, say you was supposed to check in every day and you didn't, then your friend could notify the local...

Sounds like a royal pain, but with somewhat of a happy ending. Sure glad the service contract worked for someone at least once. Anytime something was covered under warranty for me, there was something else that needed to be done that really put some profit in the dealers pocket. I won't...

I'll just bet ya that if you stopped at a Radio Shack and asked that question to one of the youngsters you would be fixed up right quick. Those kids know how to do just about everything.

Thanks Turtle, but by the time I got all that figured out I would be retired. I'll take everything to someone smarter than I am, that shouldn't be a problem, and let them work your deal out. I haven't forgot that I still owe you that cup of coffee.

Thanks again, but I was told by the maker of the program that nothing could be done to make it run on Vista. Of course they have a new and improved camera that will run with Vista. The cost is only about $490.00 and then $35.00 per month for the rest of a persons life. And then get this...

Thanks for the reply. I think maybe I didn't explain my complaint very good. What I should have said is that I have no sound at all on the XP Pro side, (sometimes). It's not just the one program, it's the hole darn side. When I start the computer I have the option of running Vista or EX...

You do a good job of proving my point. The Republicans was in total control for the first 6 years. Bush never saw a spending bill he didn't like until the Dems sent him one, then he cried that they was busting the budget. Just once tell me when the Republicans worried about spending more than...

If even part of what you people say is true, then it will be an easy thing for you to keep him from being elected to office. After all, everyone knows what a fine job the Republicans did during their 6 years of total control. Blame the liberals for everything, lets use the drill here drill...

I was held up coming back from British Columbia once because the truck in front of was loaded with Bananas. Customs came out with some kind of hand held unit and held it against the side of the truck for a couple minutes and then let the driver go. Now as to why bananas were being shipped...

I was talking about driver turnover. If company A has a turnover rate of 50% per year and company B has a turnover rate of 40%, then company B would be the one that I would want to go with. The entire industry has a high turnover rate so a person can't say Panther has a rate of such and such...

I have no facts to back up what I said. I was only going by what I hear on the road from other drivers. If Jim has the facts, then I accept what he says as true. Maybe if someone had some facts about what the turn over rate is from each company, that would be a better yardstick

I have a Compaq Presario C769US PC that came with Vista. One of the programs I run will not and cannot be made to work with Vista. I installed Windows XP Pro along side of the Vista so I could run this program. The problem I have is that sometimes when I am running the XP Pro I have no...
