It's kind of like the guy running 2-3 sets of log books. It just ain't worth what you think you've gained.

You mean that a large carrier has a reach that a smaller carrier doesn't? No offense, but it must have been the recruiter that sold you that. My reach extends across upwards of 9000 pieces of equipment, if need be. Hundreds of agents as well. Now that's nationwide coverage.

Why the passenger? Heck, let the driver hang out the side. :D

Thank you. I've been trying to van drivers to understand this for some time. It works for the bigger vehicles as well, and fuel is usually way cheaper, especially if they AREN'T on the same exit as a truck stop chain.

Sorry folks. I won't be able to make it this year. We are expecting our first baby in the next few weeks.

Just wanted to get a real update on where people are encountering widespread flooding. I know Laredo is flooded. Anywhere else?

I highly doubt that the "purple people eater" depends on anyone for business. But there are forwarders and brokerages who do depend on the purple one. Did you ever do a Kuehne and Nagel load? Ryder? NLMI? We haven't really worked with them, but I know that almost every load we've ever...

It's a nice thought. If the fees go up, I fear it will ultimately be taken out of the driver's pay. Not good, huh?

Scuba, This bill is not even aimed at "scumbag" brokers. We've come across people who are in debt because they can't handle their business and are therefore poor payers. We don't do business with them. If a company does business with a bad broker, in spite of their bad credit rating, that IS...

If that unsaid driver is overly worried about getting screwed, then maybe they shouldn't be driving. Small businesses are the backbone of this country. If the FMCSA won't prosecute fraudulent brokers now, they won't when the fees are raised. This is a big government, reactionary solution to...

Moose is right. Casinos are usually truck friendly. Any kind of shopping plaza that has things you will want in the morning, ie. Starbucks or other good sources for coffee, breakfast and supplies.

You hit the nail on the head. It's a reactive solution to the problem. Rather than getting criminals off the street, let's mandate special burglar bars for the whole neighborhood.

Talk about sticking it to the little guy. $100k? Sheesh. Next question: How much for renewal each year? $300 to set it up. Do they want another $300 each year? The big clearing houses don't mind. They don't want competition. How about if an owner operator's base plate renewal jumped 10...

Good point. Plus you can wear those pants.

Unfortunately, these kind are trying to breed through the university systems of this nation.

So you mean that they formerly had to do BOTH the federal inspection AND a state inspection every year? Remarkable. Yes, Gov. Bob IS thinking straight.

I'm sure these expert CEOs wouldn't like it if the govt. passed a law stating that they couldn't work their salaried employees more than 40 hours a week.

They also ingnore the result of this nonsense, which is even less capacity, higher prices on retail, and then eventually MORE big trucks running down the road than now. Ralph Nader, while being an intelligent man, seems to lack many basic reasoning skills.
