Yep, keeeeep striking, keep pretending that you're worth $37 per hour to turn a lugnut, and the auto manufacturers will keep shipping those jobs out of the country until the Autoworkers Union is finished. Geezus, I've never heard of a more lucrative job for something so unskilled. It's not...

ROI? Aieee!:eek:

You think that there's a good chance of the driver getting hurt by just doing their job and therefore is entitled to all the income? That's really a reach to even bring that up. The truck (i.e. Business) must make money for the employee to have a job.

OK - I've sat on ye ol' sidelines long enough.;) There seems to be a huge gap between the employee and employer mentality here, and I'll tell ya, its the same in my business. DISCLAIMER: I have been an employee. I was a **** good one. I never expected something for nothing, I always worked...

Just heard reports on NPR of shutdowns, slowdowns, etc with drivers being ticketed for impeding traffic on the East Coast. I'll be checking the truckstop tonight for truckers shutdown and giving out some free beer! :D EDIT: CNN says that its only sporadic. dangit. This will be ineffectual at...

Humor? As far as I'm concerned, if you can't laugh at yourself, you have a serious character flaw. I won't even hang around anybody who doesn't have a sense of humor.:D Me? I'm a goofball and I think my blood pressure is lower because of it.:D

There seems to be something we're missing, this is a longstanding rivalry:rolleyes: I like Ateam though, I've met them personally and can vouch for their helpfulness and kindness. I do hope to meet more of you in the future.

No, sorry I didn't explain. Phil has his truck all decked out with Cameras pointing every-which-way and in his box, etc. recording at all times, I guess. He said something to the effect of the "just-in-case" someone says you damaged something or maybe got in an accident and needed some proof...

Here in Tucson, I have had first-hand accounts of people avoiding DUIs on technicalities (lots of friends of mine are police) by throwing their keys away, chugging the bottle when the cops come to the window if they're already parked and not moving, etc. And yes, its rather easy to get off of...

Es muy loco!:eek: ;)

This thread wins at Sherlock Holmes-ing what it's about. Mi llamo Daniel. Como se llama? Te Gusta Expediting? El acarrear de la pantera es muy codicioso. :D Spanish 101 is coming back to me! Or maybe not. Did I just say the Panther is a sweaty pineapple?

I guess, if anything, the shutdown will boost Expedited deliveries in the weeks to follow. I know that's not the point at all, just saying...:rolleyes: I'll go ask around at the Triple-T and see if anybody is planning to shutdown there.

Don't forget Government Cheese. mmm.:( They got the Coast Guard Right:D

nice news!

I second the idea that the "shutdown" would be more effective if it was a shutdown to cheap freight only. (The brokers) Just make a "per-mile" minimum and stick to it. That's an effective a shutdown as I have ever seen.

Have a couple. I have a Sig Sauer P228 9mm (law enforcement model) that has nice squishy grips on it and has such a low jam percentage that I can't remember how many years it has been since it jammed. Excellent gun. Too bad they don't make it for the public anymore. I also have a Glock 23...

So it happens more than I thought? Scary stuff.

Wow, suck. Do trucks get ripped off very often in this field? I would think there would be a very limited market for resale of the big trucks if stolen, but correct me if I'm wrong.:eek:

Weird, you've had people just up and disappear into thin air? Anyways, that sure isn't MY work Ethic. I lose sleep at night being a business owner of a different sort, and I think its pretty par for the course for any business. Oh, and what was your gross for the week for those 1100 miles? Is...
