    Makes sense to me. Don't listen to it though. I need a good supply of cheap used Vehicles to choose from. Year 3 of my $3800 sprinter...

    Uber and Prime just in time

    I'm a little afraid of this. I've made better than $25 an hour doing courier and its a hell of a way to make a living. Seems to be chipping away at rates. Would you rather drive a single skid across town and do nothing but open your door, or run around like a madman for 10 hours trying to hit...

    Wondering whatever happened to this great idea!

    Hey, I know what skyraider meant, I just don't really think Canada was ever all that great to worry about saving at least what they've become in my lifetime. Some accomplishments of the islamization of canada Sharia Law in Canada — Current Status Those who live in a populated area and aren't...

    Wondering whatever happened to this great idea!

    I don't see the people as the problem, maybe the nature of Islam. Don't mistake it with any political correctness, the religion says believe and worship in one way only or die. The "radical" muslims are the ones that don't take it that way, and are normal people not on a "god quest" to kill...

    Effect of $15 minimum wage

    Well boil down any gov program (including SS) and if they just let us keep the money, nobody would need the program. Of course, gov survives off the administration of those "helpful" programs That's not a solution to somebody that's been contributing for 45 years of course. No danger its going...

    Effect of $15 minimum wage

    Why is there a minimum wage? If somebody wants to work for 3 dollars, let them. I personally wouldn't work for $15. Gov should find something else to do and let people compete. Who does setting a "minimum" wage benefit? Things get entirely too mixed up with regulation. The "minimum" wage might...

    Rates and Rants

    I'm getting a small hint that some may be upset about the rates as well, and thinking I'm trying to tell them what to do as a driver. This is aimed more at carriers. Its my way of saying smarten up before you force everybody out and have no option but to buy equipment and hire employees. If...

    Rates and Rants

    Its likely I would not. Some Americans don't want anything to do with the border. Is it because of our $4 a gallon gas and $15 takeout meals? I dunno Locals here are all paying over 1.20 US tho. This thread is just a rant of mine, mostly over the fact that I can't make a decent rate over in the...

    Rates and Rants

    Trying to make a point, Moot :p The former management of a well known company I used to work for, and its ilk, were fully aware their practices would force drivers to below minimum wage rates. Some drivers quit, some went bankrupt, some sued. The contracts were repeatedly broken to puff up...

    Rates and Rants

    Should we as expediters be paid more or less for being on call 24/7 and driving in all types of weather than the office staff sleeping in their own bed at night (lol) or the local drivers that do the same? For me, the 70c thing triggered a move to local

    Rates and Rants

    Dare I say any offer under $1 should be ignored? What year is it? How much does a new van cost as opposed to 10 years ago? Has insurance gone up or gone down? If you have a residence, have your costs gone up for utilities and taxes or gone down? If you rent, has it gone down? Is your food cheaper?
