    Some new drivers

    Ahh, I dunno bout that. The only continent I haven't set foot on is Antartica. Been to all the States AND Provinces with my Expedite business, and, have nothing but time for "fun and games" 24/7 these days. I tink all that is because I didn't take time for "fun and games" when I shouldn't...

    Help new fleet owner

    yepper. Kinda like going from a trooper to really super trooper. It's amazing how you view things depending on what hat you are wearing that day. I certainly would enjoy watching more folks negotiating the "real" roast goose hunt and observing their evolution.

    Industrys failing

    Ahh Tude, don't worry bout how they treat ya on this site. If they ban you it'd be their loss. I got a nasty gram recently for a comment about paychecks. The recipient translated that as my calling her a "money hungry :censoredsign:". I guess it's all in your translation. Ya know douche versus...

    Some new drivers

    That's precisely the reason I have "cranked" on those clowns so much over the years. But, they don't wanna look in the mirror. Jes like ovm types, "batter up". guess we can suggest to them where the water is---- but---, you know the rest of the story. In hindsight, I shoulda not typed...

    Need to assess the level of abuse we just endured!!

    Really? That's an interesting attitude. I'm wondering how common is that train of figgure'in. Lets read it.

    I'll agree Lawrence. It's way too bad it has come to the point that we thank folks for using equipment from manufacturers you mentioned. However, myself, like the folks that bought from them, I actually enjoyed delivering their needed items, and avoided the UAW broken companys like the plague...

    Lift Axle????

    I wouldn't mess with a "used" lift axle. You just don't know how they have been used (abused). Saving a couple hundred bucks me tink, might cost dearly in installation and safety costs.

    It might also be, that if a couple weeks are that large an issue for you or, your drivers, then this may well be the time to "pull the plug". Or, take a looong hard look at where you may be better off doing things you/they don't wanna.

    Switching from Indy to Leased

    My $.02 would be that if you are not doing well as a Carrier with all the opportunity out there, your shortcommings will be multiplied as a Contractor to someone. I'd maybe look around your mode of operation a bit before taking any other action.

    Short loads are they worth it?

    Amazing! Ain't it? I guess being "outside" the box ain't all bad.

    Short loads are they worth it?

    Bruno, is this a roast goose question?? Yer "not gonna tie your truck up to help the customer or company"?? Yer correct. They prolly won't call with the 800 miler if ya can't cover the 100 miler. Aino roast goose.

    Have you ever been accused of being homeless.

    Yep. Most of the time that'll do it there Fast. Kinda interesting how they don't have a sense of humor bout tings. I guess their momma's didn't teach them to share. We are bout to get homeless with the camping machine in a couple weeks. I love that feeling. Boldly going nowhere in...

    FSC and publicly traded companies

    I guess I don't understand the issue with here is 62%. If it is not enough--don't run it. Pretty simple. why worry about who's doing what to whom. Getting into a contract in this dynamic business has to be suicide. I certainly wouldn't do it. Take each day as it comes, because like the...

    FSC and publicly traded companies

    I have never been a believer in a FSC. I had anticipated when some Companys started charging a seperate charge for fuel that it would open a can of worms for everyone involved. It would be much simpler to just quote a value to move the freight, pay your contractor whatever the percentage is...

    Speed Limiters

    I know, I know, i'm stewpid. However, seems to me it makes no difference whom sets the limit, as long as it is set. If ya wanna go to Canada once in a while i'd be looking for an alternative to being locked in to a certain speed. I never ran fast myself as a rule, however, once in a while...
