    Comng to YOUR Kids School Soon??

    I have happened to meet many 'Christian' families in my lifetime, and it puzzled me at first why so many of them happened to also 'home school' their children. It has since become very apparent as to why this is so. You would think that these issues (all the freakish gender issues that could...

    Thanks A Team, sure hope you were right!

    Hypothetically, if a Fedex OO had an average of 30% deadhead... (or would the average be more than that?) If a load was say 1000 miles, deadhead at 30% was 300 miles on that trip, no tolls on this one.. the compensation would be $1716. Divide by the 1000 loaded miles, the rate is $1.716/LM. How...

    The Government of the USA

    God help us EnglishLady, it 'seems' like not too distant (based on conversations), but it's not happening for a year and a half!!! There is no way the government can stop being involved, since in many cases, it seems to be human nature to not take responsibility for oneself and do the right...

    Rates for CV's

    Yes sure... but... how do you figure that fuel is the only cost when determining profitability? :confused:

    Rates for CV's

    When JackBerry replied to you, he suggested that you call the company to do your own legwork. Carriers don't normally post their expedite rates online anywhere. If you're getting calls from your carrier asking if you'll run for a rate less than you're supposed to get, it is because they know...

    Rates for CV's

    How are you calculating your break-even point? How do you figure anything over 25cents/mile will be profitable for you?

    Panther load board

    Many independents can't get (or afford, even if they could get) insured for hazmat. Panther will still accept you, assuming everything else is in order, and you have everything set up with them.

    Higher Down Payments

    Not trying to scare you or make you feel bad, but you might be surprised what the guy taking the money is willing to turn a blind eye to, and lead the buyer to think it won't matter. Unfortunately the guy taking the money isn't in a position to decide what matters to all of the other entities...

    Muslim in chief wants to eviscerate Israel

    Normally you do not do what? Get involved in USA/Israel Soapbox threads? Moose, I watched that youtube and wow, I thought it was great (but maybe I'm missing something)! I thought Mr. Bush was impressive, well received, etc. I'm confused about your statement above though. Could you elaborate...

    Princess Beatrice wedding hat auction bids pass $29,500

    Does anyone know why it says bidding has ended (even tho it wasn't supposed to end until Sunday, I believe?)? And why it says zero bids, even though last night there were lots? And why it doesn't say the winning bid, and only states the starting bid?

    Seasons

    Expediters will often mention periods of time in which the industry generally slows down more than other times. Like the first quarter (ok, so that would be Jan through March); and then there is the 'summer slowdown' (assuming that would be July and August?); So that is 5 months of the year...

    Muslim in chief wants to eviscerate Israel

    I don't understand that. Are you saying that a mod's authority only applies in certain forum sections? Secondly, if you have a healthy obsession with getting people to follow the rules, then why would it be a wise decision to not give you mod status within the Soapbox? Thirdly, I'm trying...

    Rates for CV's

    He didn't ask 'how' the rate is figured, but what the rates 'are' that are currently being bid for CVs for expedited and non expedited freight. Since you know the answer on at least some of the loads out there... why don't you give him a range?
