    Cheap Paying Freight!!!!

    OK, I was thinking about this today after I dropped off at the Mexican border and got to say something to add. You know with this talk of cheap freight and the competition within the industry, there comes a time when you start questioning the idea of helping others into this business because...

    Minneapolis bridge collapse

    Unorthodoxneon “But i see a pattern here. Government officals not spending money on projects that should be done until its too late. This bridge has been given poor ratings, has been said to have stress, corrosion and other faults but nothing was done until something has to be done.†This...

    Pets or Riders

    Yes as long as they are 21. Yes, as long as they are not ugly Ah, maybe that is the other way around? Seriously the pet problem others can discuss in more detail but it will limit you on the types of loads you can pickup.

    Minneapolis bridge collapse

    Sorry guys, but the blame sits with the governors of the state – no one else. They alone should be held accountable for the infrastructure of the state and the state should not at this moment turn to the federal government for funds to rebuild the bridge. Let Minnesota people pick up the tab...

    Congress and the war.

    “Greg..you must know I am just throwing things out there to get a grip on this left, right stuff....one side says this and one side says that...sometime in the future I am going to have to make up my mind what I think is right...†OVM, I understand that and I try like heck to confuse you, ah...

    Congress and the war.

    OVM, I understand that you think I am saying that the president has the ultimate authority to declare war, that’s wrong. What I am saying is that they have in every case followed the constitution to declare war on a country, even in the case of a non-war like Korea and Vietnam. The point...

    Warning!---No Food Or Drink!

    Well... yea of course. When you starve yourself and then slam down food in a hurry, especially cr*p food like 2 honey buns and a Pepsi, I would think even I in normal person your blood sugar would hit 250 or even 300 without a problem with all that sugar. I always eat before my physical...

    Two helicopters crash watching a car chase

    Leo, My point goes back to the media’s ‘right’ to be involved with a situation that could be deadly, meaning occupational hazard. I am in Phoenix tonight and have to say that there is a minority of people who feel that it truly is the fault of the news organization itself for this...

    Let me ask this

    I agree with Phil's first paragraph, I think fleet owners look the same to FedEx when selecting people for WG. What matters as I am told is the way you act, how you handle taking runs and solving problems and so on. If you are serious about it, it starts with can do attitude, and a a few...

    Phil, Sorry to hear that, I may have missed it. Maybe next year? I think it would be a great thing if you could do a presentation next year.

    How Low Will You Go? II

    28 hours of dwell? then 29 hours of dwell? Took you an hour to write this? Just kidding, Phil - really you have a good grip on it. You are right about the use of load boards and the opportunity of a lost run that is a lot better paying. Actually I never knew you could wax a weber...

    The PEN IS

    It is a lot easier to get in touch with your representative, most of the time you will get a response but sometimes if it is a major issue, you may not get a response. As for me, I have talked to, met and presented different things to politicians with both negative and positive results. and...

    Two helicopters crash watching a car chase

    Speaking of Paris, Her house is up for sale (I know big deal) but when I saw it on one news website, it was headline news and under that was "Housing Market Headed for a Crash"

    REFORM (means.. make your wallet thinner)

    You all missed something here. Hillary knows the secret, which the people we elected in Michigan don’t – do something for your constituents and you will remain in power. This is the way things have worked since day one. The ear mark thing with the Dems was a lie, they were not going to...

    Cheap Paying Freight!!!!

    I agree with some of this but not everything. This read really familiar, humm.... well never mind. My point is this, you as a contractor go into this business with eyes open, meaning that you understand that you will get X per mile when you sign that contract and if the company charges far...
