Hope so. Seems many get plenty of exercise jumping to conclusions and rushing to answer these days, without tink'in bout it.

Ah well, guess that's life in the big time.

Cherri, ya jes can't quite get that pitty poo drivers hat off, can you? Maybe blaming the victim in this and many other cases, is spot on. Moot, sounds like you got er handled. Used your grey matter, an went with the flow during the whole event. An yer a good shot, seems like.

As in Arks case, all the more reason to minimize your time at truck stops to minimize your exposure. As in Caffees case a simple trip to a pay scale and eight bucks is way better'n a grand. To answer your question tho, carry what you can afford to loose, have nuther grand or so available...

In reference to Terrys post, I can't imagine someone refusing a load because it would place them overweight. There are a hunderd other mealy reasons like my second cousins wifes birthday party, but, not "it'll put me over weight", unless, the really intend to shoot themselves in the foot. Think???

Good luck ther fast!! Now that you have opened up a whole nuther can of worms, I hope you'll type to us some about your heartburn from the perspective of that "different pair of shoes".

There is probably way more to this story of woe than we will know. After all the info was it seems picked up by overhead conversation. That being typed, if you'd get outa the "poor lil driver" thought process and put the dispatcher/company hats on there isn't a one of you that would "allow or...

Certainly is a cake taker Coco. Can't imagine someone thinking "home" is the only place one can get medical attention when you obviously REALLY need it. It's very unfortuneate. The lining in this story, as others mentioned, is it's a good thing he wasn't going down the road in a 80,000lb...

BTW, if da fedders gets fluffled to much, i'd hang out the olive branch and offer a nuther "tour" of the ol'e Farmall. Might make ya feel betta.

Aw cummon folks, give the Senior Field Editer a break. yer pile'in on. Tis thred started as pretty much bs, but, has morfed to sumpin kinda entertaining. Hell, we might all need that fund fore it's finished.

Also, you may want to consider your equipment. If you have taken the advice from many on this site, most recruiters, truck salesmen, etc. And drive a cookie cutter expediter ie single axle, roll up door, 22ft, 12,000lb capacity, then you look like 90% of the trucks out there. Differentiate...

Seems three of these lessees have given you the "school book" answer according to their experiences with either lazy drivers or, having someone else dispatching them. One has given you an option to consider. If you choose. There is in fact, lots of liftgate freight available IF you...

Sounds like it's getting slow for quite a few out there? But, it is getting time for a thinning of the herd followers. Most cases i've seen, it's not the company it's the herd. Y'all kinda wish'in you'd run whenyou had the chance a while back??

280 HP should be plenty adequate for a single axle application, and what weight you are carrying. Might want to try setting up there and driving it, stead a pok'in the cruise and kick'in back. Specially in the hills.

Could be you have a seemingly high refusal rate while on duty at home. No telling. I'd thank em tho, only one downtime to get two birds.

Only 22?? Whatsa problem there?? Be warmed up in less than a couple minutes. Go get a cup o joe, stroll back out an walaa, cumfy. Yes??/ No? Maybe?

I understand the cold weather real well, but, by all means IF you have not been running very well, make certain he turns down a great load to be home for Valentines Day, it will make it all better.

Well I see today Hilary has replaced a "Patti" with a "Maggie" as Campaign Manager. Guess thay was not any boyz near good nuff?? Imagine a Admin type female as Chief of Staff for our Military? OMG!!!! We'll just replace her with a Betty or Jane if she don't produce or gets too many killed or...

OMG! Must be slow? Turtle is dat you in your post? Takes boff hands? Whatta stream!!! Moot, yer relat may be onto something. yepper, after some fella with some miles on HIM (an old fart) is relieving himself from some, many miles in a run, an you choose to interupt a unfortunate...

Guess if they don't need d's any worse than that, i'd be look'in
