    As bad as it seems?

    The easy way, sometimes (very rarely), is the way to go. If you are on vacation. No pain, no gain, is the way i've generally heard it.

    Breaking News From CNN......Mike Vick gets 23 mths

    RE: Breaking News From CNN......Mike Vick gets 23 But. Yous bleed'in hearts gotta get a grip. A dog is a dog. It ain't people. I see some people today treat people like dogs, and dogs like people. What a shame. Vick just had some work'in dogs that didn't work. If work'in dogs don't work...

    How do you broker your own loads?

    Yep, Dave. Someone is misguided here somewhere. Did I in fact read "I have my own Authority, and something about MY Carrier"? what a waste. I guess i'm confused.

    Barn doors vs. Roll-up doors

    Thats a good point Leo, don't settle for "because thats how they came". Build your tools for max usage, and you will profit for that extra effort.

    Cost of hiring a new driver

    From what i've seen, it will remain way less expensive to recruit than to practice a successful (read welfare) retention program. With all the agendas I observe from the driving pool ( barn sour, knows it all, knows nothing, lazy, unable, etc.) there would be no bottom to the hole in which you...

    Dispatchers?

    Won't work for them either. Incentive or otherwise. Look at the expediting force. How many you know that realize their floor each week, then roll craps for home?

    Dispatchers?

    But, only IF, they understand the gap. And, really choose to fill it, steada having something to do for a while. Never know when that "homerun" will pop up. You may watch for 18 hours straight, and at 18 hours 8 minutes, there is the home run. Just 8 minutes after the puter goes off...
