after i took the test (doing things backwards) i was fingerprinted, pay my $60 or so and waited for 21 days. once i had the letter (which actually says i am no threat, LOL) i went back to our lovely SOS and went through explaining what HazMat means.

Dave they are the same as Toyota, Honda and any other company that is on our shores making cars, they are foriegn. I got this thing about calling Chrysler a domestic car company, they are not, haven't been since the take over. A lot of their production is in other countries, Canada (most of...

You know, the UAW (as much as I hate it) is only a part of the blame. BUT remember all of this mess is about domestic auto share, not world wide auto share. The two remaining domestic auto companies, A.K.A. the big two, still have the mentality that they had twenty years ago, build it and...

Ok if you want to get into this, I have a few pieces of advice. First is read everything you can, most of your questions will most likely be answered here. Second is take your time in finding a carrier, it matters, especially if you have the means to support yourself during your quest...

Leo I need to correct you; I will try to be tactful. There seems to be this rumor going around. I personally think it has been started by one of the APU manufactures to sell more units. I talked to someone I know about this issue last year (seeing I heard this last year and rnning on a tight...

what? excess of 100%, ok?

WOW a great bunch of answers to my rhetorical question. I do have something else to say. Actually I have a response to Highwaystar. Look I think that quality did improve a bit but not much and being frank, since the selling point for the Japanese was quality when they hit our shores but they...

How I miss real radio.

I second Broompilot’s comments, where’s the bridge? Stern is a piece of s***, over rated and plain stupid. Not saying how his show is today, but what I have seen (heard) last year it has not changed a bit since he was here in Detroit on W4. As a person he is scum. I not only met him, my...

As many expediting companies depend on auto freight as their exclusive means of revenue, Ford will announce in a matter of minutes of this post the plants that will be closing and some of these plants will affect those companies greatly. As it goes in the US auto industry, who has suffered...

Phil I find myself in a bit of a quandary. As much as you make a valid argument with your points and I think you have a good concept, you have completely missed my point and insulted me at the same time (that takes skill, bravo – everyone clap now) and I can’t continue to defend, explain...

RE: Introduction To Expediting; Now Available in . Great work, I have only one more suggestion, as a writer I find that a little more about the author is always helpful to the reader. Now I can save it, print it and it will look good.

You’re welcomed. Here are a couple of other things; Performance accountability, just because the driver is in the truck, the truck is there to make money, not sit. So if the driver turns down almost every load to get something he/she likes, shouldn’t performance accountability be defined...

I blame this whole mess on one book and one man, Dr. Spock and his "The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Careâ€. I wrote a lot about the failing schools and that book a while ago and don’t want to revisit that horror. But my experience is similar; there is a McDonalds on Conner Ave in...

Leo, I have to tell you it seems to be a losing battle with some issues. But I suggestion placing in a contract the following; Termination of a contractor, with details of responsibilities; i.e. will the contractor drop the truck off at a specific location and if this is not fulfilled, who...

I have been thinking if I should reply; mainly because I don’t anyone mad at me for my longwinded comments. But I am because I see the importance of this thread and especially this subject – contracts. Phil I understand your point, it is valid and completely reasonable, but I think you...

Ok I decided because Oprah’s book club has decided to redefine the definitions what a novel, memoir and autobiography is; I am going to write my autobiography. So as I outlined my life for this project, I find that some of it is rather pretty boring and need to make it more interesting...

I got to say something. I am NOT trying to beat anyone up here but I am going to say it again and stress it this time: When you all deal with any type of contract between you and a company, fleet owner or even the company down the street to move stuff for them, get a lawyer. Have them read...
