We keep hearing more and more about what makes an employee and this is interesting: What's the difference between an independent contractor and an employee? It's important to classify workers correctly. For payroll tax purposes, workers are generally classified as employees or independent...

Phil you hit the nail on head for how we look at the short loads. When we are offered a less than 75 which just pays ok but there are 10 trucks in front of us we jump on that load. Our ok though is always over $200.00 for a less than 75 load. We just did a lift gate less than 75 load and we...

Bob is thinking we paid $4500.00. That price was installed with wheels and tires. Later we added shocks to the axle which we wish we would have done at the beginning.

I have never heard of Elite Express.

We bought ours at a Utility Trailer place in Saint Louis where they also installed it. We thought the price was reasonable. Might be an area you can check to see if any of the Utility Trailer locations near you will install one.

Turtle I agree with you 100% I just cannot imagine calling in and saying we have dropped something off of our lift gate or we did not secure our freight well enough to handle a hard stop or turn. The money we are out is one thing but the blow to personal pride would stick with you forever...

We understand that FCC is running two dispatch systems at this time and the load opp refusals are on the new system. When you accept load this is shown on the old system. One of these days everything will be moved to the new system and then you should be able to see all the refusals counted...

With USX we had three load bars and if that didn’t hold the freight in then that is the way it was. We often picked up loads with only one load bar holding the freight or nothing at all and was a pre loaded sealed trailer. All of our loads had to be sealed, so often we never even saw the...

Bruno I thought you pulled all your trucks and the trucks you manage from FCC?

With chains on the top speed is 30 mph or at least that is what I have always understood. When I am driving with chains on 25 sometimes seems to fast.

I bet they just passed each other and am I glad you did that one from a very cool place in Indiana. I have had a terrible time trying to find a post card for that state. I have to be looking in all the wrong places.

We have always chained and continued on when the chain sighs are out. Each and every time we felt safer in those states who have the chain laws and use it. When we have our chains on everyone has to slow down and you can proceed at a slow pace. What I hate is when you are in a state on ice...

I cannot imagine the jolt of that stop! Boy they had to have hit rsomething eally hard.

I really thought we had sent one from Minnesota but it must have got lost in the mail. We have looked in two different places here in Indiana and have had not luck finding a card. We will keep trying though. Tell Diane thanks!

What the heck does color have to do with this election? The issues are the problems and I do not what to "Share the Wealth" especially my wealth.

If you will look closely at emergency vehicles and also school buses that have to drive in adverse weather you will often see them equipped with automatic chains. They are rather expensive but can sure help get you out of a bind. You can activate the automatic chains from inside the cab. The...

Well I hate to admit this but while we are looking for a house the proximity of health care is a consideration. On the road and ease of getting into Wal-Marts mean more than they should to us but when we are at home and we have choices going to Wal-Mart is a very low priority.

This is an email I received from my daughter today: Mom - here are the states that Kelly's class is missing. Tim (Nicki’s Boss) met with her teacher today...and she could not say thank everyone enough and she and the kids are so excited. She said this is the closest she has ever been to...

Wow those pictures are amazing! Thank you so much those pictures are sure appreciated.

I would love to go and see that mission again I was raised just south of there.
