    Farm subsidies and world food shortages.

    Explain to me how they compete when they all sell their produces in different ways? Isn't farming a business?

    the **** advertising tab

    I've complained about the same thing and get lame posts about it. Excuse me for saying this but EO's advertising revenue directly depends on us, not we depend on them. The way it works is simple - the more popular the site is, the more ad space they can sell, the more hits that the site gets...

    Farm subsidies and world food shortages.

    1 - we have enough farm land and enough resources to farm what the entire world needs right here. This is not the 1800s where we didn't get the idea how to take care of the land, we learned and in many cases forced changes to stop the erosion that led to the dust bowl. 2 - the wheat shortage...

    Obama opposes raising the debt limit

    True. The problem is this as it was with Bush, it seems many only think (including many right here) that the president is KING. He can do the damage, put the country into a tail spin and shape the country to be a socialist utopia but all of that takes congress. Well are you guys not doing the...

    Fleet Owners.... 2 Cents Worth

    In order to enforce it, it has to exist. The existence of one means evidence of what you were asked to do, but it does not mean that it is an automatic win in court, even small claims. Protection is afforded by those who have one and refuse just to sign one. I think that the feds require an...

    Aug 01 Question of the day

    So I would assume that because you are driving for a cheap company that needs to work a 30% margin on every load when others are working with a 15% margin, they are incapable of actually setting themselves up to have constant cash flow and have to capture any and all work from load boards by...

    Aug 01 Question of the day

    If I worked for Load-1, Express-1, Panther or FedEx, I would expect the company to eat the cost of the tolls.

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    The fact is the program is incapable to effect a downward trend in rates compared to the Canadian truckers already operating in the US. The numbers come from the source that controls the border which they are estimating a 3 to 1 ratio of trucks but reading the notes, they are saying right now...

    Obama opposes raising the debt limit

    Yep it means little which is something that the people need to get a grip on. I think we should take everything and just cut 10% across the board - no exceptions except military pay. [/COLOR] BUT at least he is saying something. Instead of having a closed door meetings about this "crisis"...

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    Here's a fact. A lot of what is floating around is speculation with no supportive facts. Many of the article writers refuse to use actual regulatory information from Mexico or travel there to find out first hand while also adding assumptions of the industry south of the border that is not...

    Fedex C.C.

    I don't know about some of this, the carriers are not the police of sub-contractors and like this site, which seems to be misunderstood about their purpose and what they do or don't do, the carrier needs to keep the hell out of any dispute between an owner and a driver - period. IF there is a...

    Fleet Owner Reviews and Ratings Service

    Well I don't like the government regulating anything, let alone what we do but you said it - we needs them to protect ourselves from our own neglect - how many times have drivers actually gotten together and protested something? Invested how?

    NFL player shunned for reading

    It don't matter, it is amazing that anyone actually cares after they crapped on their fans by not playing and acting like million dollar babies.

    Question of the Day

    I said ... I hope you enjoy your ticket. If it is a legally marked handicap zone, you can't park there. Next time just park somewhere else - problem solved!

    You mean those NFL players can read? Who would have thought?

    Fleet Owner Reviews and Ratings Service

    This is a business..and some research MUST be done... BUT see OVM, the problem is this isn't treated as a business and for those who are either desperate to make money to pay the bills or want to jump into this quagmire of a profession, they fail themselves by not even considering the Due...

    2012 looks brighter already!

    Well I think the ones who are narcisistic are in congress and those are both republicans and democrats just the same. Obama has no real chance to compete with them. The miracle will be if he loses, not if he wins and right now the people seem to be fed up with both parties which will be a...
