"right" is in the eye of the beholder also ya know. Makes no difference to me, however, some may choose to differ.

Ya gotta understand tho, they are a bit of a predatory, bottom feeding operation when it's all said and done. Is your seven year old truck a class eight?

The only thing I could add to this is... I wouldn't throw away my money for a frontend alignment, without doing the other one, or, two axles. Front end alignment is OK (kinda) but, lining up the whole thing is mo-bettah.

I dunno bout that? Butttt????

Whattt???? Do you think there NO gasoline powered trucks on the highways????? Git back!

Way too bad i'm not still in the business. Wouldn't a been a problem here. I'd suggest you get your eggs outa that "bigger" company basket. It should be obvious to you what your equipment means to them. Someone will certainly appreciate your efforts. Go look for them.

Nope! Not me! I sold out last month. I don't leave the area in anything but the camping machine. An it don't/won't haul much.

I'd suggest it's because as a rule (unless someone slips thru the cracks) they only sign "adults", with a serious trucking background. Eliminates lots of heartburn for them that way.

Watching all those "pretty" trucks sit on the side of the road or in a repair shop lot makes me real thankfull for my wayyy pre emission 1992 tree thousand dolla Farmall. She wern't pretty, but, knew how to git R done.

I'd say it means most of the contractors and drivers i worked with will wish they had stood a bit closer to the plate and hit the ball a bit further, or, more often, or, sump"in more. The $crew'in the pooch in more ways than just work ethic, prolly'll come back to roost. Sooner than later.

You prolly will. I wuz gonna, but got a better offer for excitement.

As others have mentioned, SO What if your company don't advertise on this site. Way too much credence given to that requirement to be an expediter. But, given the remarks made to McClain on anuther thread Jazbo may not consider you or your company expediters either because of not advertising...

More n likely won't help yer delema much. I can see this scenario happening; An Agent talks you into a load that goes too far an you run it. Then, the big Landstar in the sky, spanks you later. But, good luck.

Why do you think you want or need a change??

Yaabutt, you guys kinda work at it, don't you??

Yes, without your common sensical approach to all that foolishness I certainly wouldn't have put up with it as long as I did. I moved on and did my own thing in this business, and just sold my business last month. I'll certainly second that emotion about "real" retirement. Your old cronie...

Amazing ain't it there hotfreight? Been with a company supposedly since christ wuz a corporal, an don't know what their rules are. Pretty amazing.

Hey pj, there is that employee attitude rearing it's head again. Waiting for someone to tell you what to do. In the example you gave, being THE Carrier, YOU write the contract. YOU don't allow yourself to be spoon fed. YOU cover your bases. YOU!!!!

Ahh Bruno, I feel you have it wrong here. It's harder to find drivers, because of the drivers. Not, a company problem, just a driver problem. Guess yer finding out just exactly what seniority and loyalty pays these days, eh? Did I read you are managing a fleet for an owner whom works...

Greg, are you getting tutoring fees we don't know about??? Or, are you just severly bored?
