I said sometimes, like when I pick up at one of the refrigerated warehouses that is teamsters represent here in the area. A couple drivers who found out they were overloaded complained after hitting the scales and that went to the union rep with hope he would side with the drivers. I said hope...

I think you proved my point. If the union stood for safety, then why are you worried about overweight tickets?

Yes that is all true but like the democrats, even after they are told. It shows the true colors and level of intelligence in the party to the public and will pave the way for not just Obama but possible a BIden running and winning in 2016.

I didn't think Rlent or I or Layout took a vacation I hate it when I don't get those memos.

I don't mean to bash any hard working people but if you ever saw the show "2 Broke Girls", the diner's owner looks a lot like the new leader of NK.

So I assume that you would mean the republican candidate field? If so, does that mean if Gingrich or Romney gets on the ticket, you are voting for Obama?

If we experts were to finish the story, we wold outlaw sprinters.

You know what would help, having a campaign to get these truckers to vote or register them to vote - seems to get the attention of congress with other groups.

God don't they get it? Listening to some "conservative" talk show, they were discussing the idea that if Paul doesn't win the nomination, the voters that he "controls" will go with the republican candidate. One caller was kind of on the money by calling the host a fool for thinking that the...

Linked to Comdata? I seem to like the idea that comdata works. I've had others, t-chek and others and most of the time they were nightmares to deal with.

If the sprinter is to be considered a c unit, then it should be treated as a truck - logging and all. A truck is more than 20% over the cost of a Sprinter to maintain too. So with that in mind, if a van gets $1.20 a mile, a sprinter gets $1.44 a mile then a C unit should be getting $1.75 a...

OVM, If you are going to provide links to some article, make sure that we don't have to be a member to see them. :o I agree with Phil, if there was anything close to a driver shortage, we would see freight sitting on thee docks. I feel the fallacy is more of a driver who is willing to work...

I understand your point but it isn't what makes reality in the world of trucking. Not to be offensive, but yep it is. If you don't have a clue what the truck weighs or how much it can handle, then you should not be driving it. You don't take the word of the company but do Due Diligence to...

Don't need to answer this but how much money do you make right now? Is it near what you think you want to make? If it is, stay where you are. The problem with vans is that some do really really well and make that number before taxes while others struggle to make half of that.

The reasoning that people are fighting EOBRs is this is an intrusion into the cab and prevents them from doing their job. When in fact it is another tool that is used to be complaint and prevents the driver from "modifying" the log (other words cheat) to fit their situation.

I am not disagreeing with you on the timing but rather would like to know what you see we will lose if we accelerate the process.

listening to Fox this morning and they seem to ignore the Paul gains and over on MSNBC, they seem to be thinking that it is a good thing. The funny comment of the day came from CNN, they said Paul has less chance of winning against Obama but Romney may beat him if Obama doesn't run. Talking...

But what will we lose? Our trading partners? Our ability to be the world's cop on the beat? What? I don't see the losses in contracting off the world stage, what I do see is p*ssing people off who want our money and our stablity to stabilize their own country because they can't/won't do...

I think that the best solution is a blanket and warm socks.

Just to be argumentative, it is always the driver. there is absolutely no excuse that it can't be the driver - he is the one who is in charge of that vehicle and is responsible for the safety of that truck and its contents BY LAW - not the carrier, not the guy who loads the trailer, not the...
