    Please welcome our two new Moderators!

    Congrats tukens, and let us hope you turn out to be more than tokens! So are you guys supposed to be THAT good that you are replacing twice as many outgoing mods? (Or did I miss another announcement of 2 other new mods?)

    What do you like and dislike?

    This is one of those times when I end up being confused and finding you guys to be contradictory. Just because you are business owners doesn't relieve you of your responsibility to your family to provide or replace income in case of accident (unless of course, one is independently wealthy?)...

    What do you like and dislike?

    Just wondering if it ever happens that a driver has a problem with the payout on a load, after the fact, and if that ever happens, how is it handled? As an outsider, I would have to imagine that just as there are times when one might be surprised by the generous remuneration, there must be times...

    is this a good deal?

    Language and math need to be clarified: In this case, Scenario #1, which you have said is 'your' scenario, you have: -Jung carrier pays out to the truck owner -Fuel is deducted -Owner takes 60% and pays driver 40% of remaining balance In Scenario #2 below, this is how it normally works...

    Speaking Freely on EO

    In fairness to Briscoe, I did not get the impression that his statement had anything whatsoever to do with anyone's choice of career path. I took it that he was pointing out that in many cases, personality traits in existence in high school kids, can still be found in those same people many...

    Would real expediters?

    <pjjjjj> comes out of the closet, slowly and shyly raises her hand and says, 'don't be so sure about that' :( At least one of us here on EO is severely technotarded and does MUCH better with a paper map.

    Re: West Coast Runs Reconsidered

    I understand what you're saying, and it makes sense to a point.. but I believe the thing you may be forgetting is that carriers are choosing to escape many costs to themselves, by contracting with OOs, instead of paying for their own trucks and all associated expenses, and hiring employees to...

    'SlutWalk' marches sparked by Toronto officer's remarks

    Right. Agreed. But the streets of America are not lions' dens. Humans are supposed to be of superior intelligence. Agreed. Personally, I can't imagine why a girl/woman would want to be ogled by seedy, dirty, old, disgusting men... but to each her own I guess. Doesn't mean they get to rape...

    'SlutWalk' marches sparked by Toronto officer's remarks

    That's right, it isn't her fault. I really can't believe you are saying this. Aren't you one of the people who doesn't buy into the 'buy now, pay later' trap? One who touts personal responsibility? One who believes things should be earned rather than expected? If you see something you want in...

    'SlutWalk' marches sparked by Toronto officer's remarks

    Because *some* men and *some* male judges are controlling and want women to dress within certain boundaries? (I would like to hear what they are). Do *some* men have difficulty understanding the difference between *sex* and *rape*?

    Stone Cold Hard Core Tucker

    Can I ask what the average pay-to-the-codriver would be? (historically speaking, of course). Why does the co have to wait until you're finished working out, to have a shower? With all due respect, it sounds like perhaps you might be better suited to be a solo. Are you referring to your co's...

    Obama Saying No To Release Of Pics...

    I'm surprised they didn't keep that recording that OBL did a week ago under wraps and release it in a week saying, 'hmmm nope, not dead!'

    Yes, hence the turning-around-to-bite-one-in-the-rump part. The (lib) party is barely alive now.

    Cargo Van Pay

    But it's the same thing. You still can't say for certain if the $1 to $1.05/LM is the gross or the 62% of the gross. I would really hope that a larger carrier who contracts with OOs is not doing loads which average only $1-$1.05/LM gross all-in to the carrier???

    Bleeding Hearts Speak Out

    Well let me help. The moron who the Liberal party chose to be their leader failed his party so miserably that the party had their worst showing since confederation. The other guy is NDP (democrat), and because of the failings of the Liberal's choice of leader, now have their largest federal...
