ARK: I did am leaving your post here as an example, a BAD EXAMPLE, of things that are appropriate for inclusion in a serious discussion about the application of law. You repeatedly talk about your illegal vehicle operation and suggest that other people can follow your lead by failing to take a...

An Army guy is sitting at a bar wearing a shirt that says "Marines suck". Sure enough, two marines walk up. One of the Marines says, "WHAT DOES THAT SHIRT SAY!?!?!?!" So the Army guy responds, "Thats the first thing I hate about Marines, they cant read." The other Marine growles, "What...

Moot: We might have a disagreement here. My contention is that the driver of a cargo van, not hauling HAZMAT at any time during the past seven days, is Off-Duty for the purpose of logging. The driver does not log any work related activity on the day of the load until such time as dispatched...

As an under 10,001# GVWR van operator, you aren't subject to logging nor do you fall under the DOT regulations...Until that moment you accept a HAZMAT load with a gross weight 1000# or more. You need to create a single log page showing off duty for seven days then start your next log page on...

An Army Ranger was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana and he wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking. After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the...

Howdy Geezers: In addition to following the Old Old Prof's advice, check out the following link that will give you myriad questions to ask of a prospective carrier or owner. http://www.ooida.com/Swimming_sharks/help_list_owner_ops.html C'mon back when you read a few of the posts and checked...

I don't know where we come up with a number like 26,000. It comes out to 11793.4:)

If Fred were to win, "Hail to the Chief" would be replaced by "Boink, Boink"

You're right about the sad news, but the good news is that's only one station in an area with a tough taxing authority. We are still 4 cents cheaper on the national average. We're still not happy that we all are approaching the 3 dollar mark. Probably be there by the 4th of July holiday time.

Hang on to any of the new Arkansas Quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The US Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Arkansas quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. This action is being taken after numerous...

Bad news for our Canadian colleagues and it would be equally unwelcomed news for us vanners in the U.S.A. Our standard meal allowance deduction, or the actual meal expense deduction for the gourmand among us, has been a large contributer to our bottom line. This Canadian message might be an...

I have been approached by a producer of a nationally syndicated radio program who came to me via the The ExpeditersOnline.Com Dining Guide. The producer is interested in interviewing a driver who enjoys looking for the "unusual, out of the way restaurants" where you can get a meal that is...

The Revs Al and Jessee ensured that Imus stayed in the limelight all day and they won't give up until the networks relent and Imus fades into the sunset. It doesn't matter the Jessee and Al have tossed their own epithets with impugnity.

65% to the driver is a little better than average. 60/40 is more common, so I'd say you are getting a good deal on percentage. 80% fuel surcharge is 20% too little. The purpose of the FSC is to bring the effective cost of diesel fuel to $1.25+/-. A carrier should be givving 100% of the FSC to...

K_S: I've dredged up this old post because I think it's an appropriate response to your rather generalized question. I repeat it for your consideration. Of particular interest is the OOIDA link at the end; it's worthy of a review. Not a week goes by that someone asks, "what's the best carrier...
