Well, we all need our kicks I guess eh?

Yes, agreed, and too bad for all the 'nobodies' who don't have a hope of fighting the b*stards, nevermind obtaining what was rightfully theirs to begin with.

I couldn't agree more. You have NO idea how much work and time it took to get out from under our carrier's 'ownership' when we wanted to do our own thing. If we had kept our license and insurance in our own name to begin with, we would have saved an awful lot of time, money, and frustration, and...

Some of us have just become so mean and nasty. It's pretty obvious to everyone, the OP included, that there should've been a contract, that it was their own fault for not having one, etc. If it were a no-name, unheard of, fleet owner, one wouldn't take a chance... however this one was...

That is great that you got it looked after in the end, however it is still very disturbing that you had a problem to begin with. What exactly was the problem? The company's adjusters were not trained? Insurance coverage or lack of it, can only be tested when an unfortunate incident occurs and...

That's what I have been wondering for years actually. 'They' are really pushing it, and trying to make it seem like it's all for 'you'.. but as with everything else, they only have their own financial interests at heart. Either way you do it.. it can also be done both ways.. get it in the mail...

Call it wages, profit, labor-expense, all-beef-bologna, doesn't matter, as long as it exists.. otherwise one is simply buying themselves a job. If labor is required to earn the revenue, and couldn't be earned without it, IMHO the expense of said labor should be considered in determining...

What you're proposing then, is to have OOs sign on with a carrier (say yourself), operating under your authorities.. and your insurance.. and your safety histories.. etc.... ? You would pay for the various expenses, such as load boards, (which can be very expensive depending on which packages...

Oh man, that is brutal! I figured ANY computer nowadays.. no matter how old.. should be able to effortlessly read and print and save a pdf file. Which company are you with, do you mind saying? (Bunch of antiques working there?)

Hello? You got THAT wrong! Traitor!

You make it sound simple (well, actually you don't, IMHO), but trust me, it's not... at least not for many of us who know a lot less about technology, infrastructure, wiring, and all that behind-the-scenes stuff, than you do. I am kind of mid-way techno savvy, knowing just enough to be somewhat...

Nothing personal. But allow me to enlighten you people on the other side of the line about how much you will enjoy a duvet. From Wikipedia: A duvet (RP IPA: [ˈduːveɪ], GenAm IPA: [duˈveɪ], from the French duvet "down", IPA: [dyˈvɛ]) is a type of bedding — a soft flat bag traditionally filled...

Thanks for sharing, I'm sure that will be very helpful to many who may be considering the move to independence. It's good to hear that things are working out well for you too! Congratulations!

People just stink.

This won't help your particular situation, however it's a good thread to post something I learned.. One of my printer/scanner/fax/copier things is a cheap Brother model.. It has 4 ink cartridges.. if one of the 4 runs out of ink, it refuses to print. Even if I only want to print B&W, if the red...

This topic is a great example of why people really need to read their policies and compare companies, policies and rates before deciding on an insurer.... if some are way cheaper than most other policies... there are reasons! Make sure you know what they are! ('If it sounds too good to be true...

Ha That reminded me of something. Ya but.. why ISN'T my computer worth $4000?? That's how much I paid for it in 1987 and it was only used for one month, it's virtually NEW????

roadeyes, I see you are also in Canada. The Americans are allowed to claim their per diem whether or not they are incorporated, whereas here, it is not allowed. Sucks.

IMHO, your thoughts are exactly why this business generates the slogan, 'it's not a job, it's a lifestyle'. The different ways in which people calculate their financial success in this business varies WIDELY. Of course you are absolutely correct in that your profit is your pay since you are...

Ya! That pretty much sums it up right there!
