Of course nobody can know the 'real' reasons Shah, and I'm not saying you're wrong, but don't be too quick to pin something on the color of one's skin, or any other number of perceived prejudicial factors. You can see from the posts on EO that probably every driver has occasion to wonder at...

It may seem like it makes sense, but we're talking about business people, like Turtle mentioned.. they're not thinking that they would have to list every possibility, some things are just taken for granted that business people dealing with business people would 'know'. If they had to do that...

Let me start by saying don't get me wrong, I love dogs, I have a dog, my dog is right up there on the same level as the rest of my family members, and I can understand a pet-owner's willingness to forego income opportunities to allow their pet to live with them on the road (at least to a point)...

Aside from the issue of not really knowing how much you are really losing by having an animal on board with you, since you won't know how many times you are passed over by dispatch because they know you have a dog... what if you put a muzzle on it (would that prevent it from barking?), and put...

I just wanted to mention that altho 'dedicated runs' might sound great, they are a two edged sword. Great to know that perhaps you're going to get a certain run(s) every week/month, and great to know that your carrier has enough confidence in you to offer you out to service their regular...

Ha, I heard a good one... (teehee) They came out with a new enhancer drug... called.. 'Tiagra'... for when 18 holes just aren't enough!

What I'm talking about is that if ASE or any other carrier cannot afford to pay their partner carriers, the ones paying the actual immediate expenses of carrying the loads, in a timely manner with their own cash flows, perhaps they SHOULD have paid for factoring services. You may find it...

That's really interesting. I remember a few years ago someone was talking about pedophiles, men/boys, and I was really confused because they weren't mentioning homosexuality.. and to me, the two went hand-in-hand. I was told that pedophiles don't see much difference between boys and girls, it's...

This maybe should have gone in the Soapbox Forum, but it's kind of on subject? Mods are welcome to move it if desired. There was an article in a nearby local newspaper (Ontario, Canada) last week which reported changes to take place this September to Ontario's elementary school province-wide...

I just gotta say, this place is better than TV! Thanks for the giggles :D

I just wanted to say that often the President of a company won't necessarily know specifics of the day-to-day accounting of his company. I'm not sure how large ASE is, or how many employees. Often the payables department will do their own thing in determining who to pay first, etc, based on...

Speaking of avatars, why are my horses not running today?? :confused:

Here is an attempt at making it more square within the allowable parameters, but if you have the original, you could possibly get it to be clearer?

Do you have the original picture? Was it originally larger? If you have the MS picture viewer, there are basic editing tools in there... but your picture is so little, it seems like not a lot to work with (at least on a basic level)? If you have the original and it's larger, you could try...

It amazes me how people tend to see with narrow vision and seem only able to consider what might be an immediate impact on only their own very small world. Also one thing to see narrowly, as we can't all think of every possible outcome of everything that happens in the world, but to boldly...

I haven't seen any stats on this but perhaps the stats-analyzers have determined that any resulting carnage will not be that much greater with the 7831lbs, vs the 3500lbs. I'm thinking that if it were, vans would have been regulated by now.

Ain't THAT the truth?? I could consider myself a little 'racist' now, but do not feel that I was as a young/younger person, because I have 'learned' to be a little 'racist' when it comes to certain 'races'. This is not due to what I immediatley see, hear, or smell, but due to 'learning'...

whinnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyy

Independent contractors often work at company sites, and while there, they must adhere to the company's rules. If contractors choose not to wear hardhats or steel toes or safety harnesses or whatever else the company might require them to do, the company will lessen their liability risk by...

IMHO 1800 paid miles per week average is too high to count on for preparing a biz plan/budget. IMHO you should base your number on 48 wks vs 50 wks - things tend to die off a few times per year. IMHO unless I am missing something, you have taken the 'profit' of $0.30 and multiplied by your...
