Sure they do. My carrier sets my rate. The carrier or broker with the last piece of the pie in their grubby hands sets the rate for the desperate drivers to fight over. True but the brokers and carriers will still be setting the rates. If enough drivers refuse the rates, the brokers and...

I agree but many carriers and brokers don't have a long term view. The country in general is embracing a culture of instant gratification with little or no concern for the future.

When I woke up Sunday morning I was 3 of 3 on a 2 a day board. I considered going home but never got the chance.

Two weekend loads, amazing! I delivered in K.C. Saturday night and then got a load Sunday going to Ft. Wayne for a Monday delivery. I've got till 15:00 to get it there.

Convoy might be the old Convoy car hauler reincarnated, again. They were based in Washington.

Treasury officials announced that other depictions of women and civil rights leaders would be made public in 2020 – in time for the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment securing women’s right to vote. Caitlyn Jenner will grace the front of the new 3 dollar bill. Next year Grant will be...

You omitted the compact disc (CD), an important link in the evolutionary chain of recorded music.

I've been down U.S 191 twice from Bozeman to U.S. 20 and there are no scales. Could be a scale in Wyoming on U.S. 20 but I doubt it was in the park. Maybe a scale near Cody. Last time I was through there was 1976 going east on my motorcycle.

I think of urban renewal, 60's style.

That is incorrect. In Montana you must scale if over 26,000 pounds or placarded. I stopped once at the scale in Wibaux. I weighed and was ordered around back and told to bring in license, registration etc. I complied. The scale guy was friendly and explained that since I stopped he might as...

Score one for Black Lives Matter! VIDEO: Officer Matthew Cammarn Saves Woman From Being Beat And Then Attacked By Crowd

No it isn't normal. My last Chevy needed new steer tires and an alignment at somewhere in the 60k range. It came from the factory out of spec. The ProMaster is front wheel drive. I would estimate that close to 90% of the vehicle's total weight when empty is sitting on the front axle which...

You will learn the system and once you do, it will change. You have to constantly work it and change with it. Not just any moron can succeed at Panther. It takes a special kind of moron and I'm living proof. For you, you will not only have to figure out the system but most likely teach your...

Panther fsc is currently .08/mile USD. It should change tomorrow as the price of fuel has gone up this past week. Leonard, I got your pm. I wasn't sure what you meant by "load board". What Dave said above applies to vans, except for the backhaul and brokered load numbers. You can use...

There's an old saying in trucking: "Don't lease from the man with the strings in his hand." When leasing to own from a carrier you are tied to that carrier. The carrier that dispatches you and is now holding the title to your truck, controls the loads you get and collects your monthly lease...

I file a joint tax return. My wife has a real job with withholding and I make estimated quarterly payments. This year was odd for us also, but the opposite of your odd year. I took almost 5 months off and my wife was between jobs for 10 weeks. We bought a house and sold a house. I bought a...

I've seen your van and noticed that the reflective tape on it is officially approved by the U.S. D.O.T.
