    Tea Party at a crossroads

    Exactly what I am saying. All of this euphoric championing of these possible candidates leaves us with the same old party who is determined to play with the big kids down the street because they are desperate to be included. There are only a couple of people who are thinking outside the box...

    60% + fsj + unknown fleet owner

    OK I will call operations to get the right FSC, but I already know that they have a tiered level for their FSC, not one flat rate because if they had one flat rate, the SuperBs would be making a million in short order. By the way just wondering, are you a third party capacity provider or a...

    What does the S&P downgrade Mean to us?

    The blames sits with us layout and they are doing their own bidding. BUT to answer the OP's original question - nothing. The reason for this is we needed an increase in the interest rate, it would not hurt but we also should not care what Moodys, S&P or that other one says because there are...

    Was 9 Pallets - Now hauling 15

    Lugnut Yes I have done a lot of loads using my shoring bars and plywood decking. I would never even consider a load bar for this. Because my box is setup to take some weight on the etrack, I ran into a problem where I was in the process of decking a load and the dumba** forklift driver...

    Fleet Owner Reviews and Ratings Service

    That's what I did, I have a "cheat sheet" with the description of every important term in the contract, it also includes the outline of the contract and I have a contract with notes in the margins that I use with the driver(s) when we go over it. This way there is no mistaking the what ifs and...

    Free cellular... only for welfare recipients

    I can tell you they are not easy to get, which makes me ask why are people complaining about one thing when they will not willing get off their a**es and help others outside their own families? I know a few of you know what I have been doing for others, well for those who don't know I have two...

    Tea Party at a crossroads

    Yep you're right, but irregardless point is it is his attitude that we need in congress and that is what the republicans are fighting against every step.

    over weight on steers

    Thanks, I forgot all about them. I know where they are, I get parts from Fleet pride down the road from them for the trucks in the yard. I will tell John that Guido said I get a big discount - ok?

    Well if I had to do this all over again, I would have gotten my class A, do the OTR for a year and jump right into this with my own tractor and trailer. When others are slow, ltl can keep it moving and with 3 to 4 miles difference between a straight and T/T setup, that extra floor space does...

    Layout, where are you at and can you use a 8X1 with an interference nut (no nylon)?

    Tea Party at a crossroads

    OK Here is what I think of the tea party - it is a great a start of something positive. I believe that Marco Rubio (or someone just like him) would be the choice to lead the republicans in the house because he took the RIGHT approach to the entire matter when he was elected - saying at his...

    60% + fsj + unknown fleet owner

    Yep they pay 47 cents a mile if I had a tractor but most of the fleet in LEA the last time I looked were straights and they don't pay 47 cents a mile. The load board is rather subjective, they (agents) throw a FSC in the mix to meet their contractual requirements but overall it is the all...

    Here is a bit of advice - stick with the tractor. The reason is that you will compete with vans in a van, vans and other straight trucks in a stright and with a tractor and floor space, you can capture more than just chasing pennies.

    over weight on steers

    Guido, where around here did you take it to get that work done? I have an issue with my truck right now that no one up here can figure out.

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    Well I wasn't yelled at, I was ripped into something really bad by the guy in the booth for that even after I told him that they directed me to that land then he had me held up for two hours being "inspected". I noticed this morning coming back from Sarnia the Canadian customer people were...

    Free cellular... only for welfare recipients

    Wow and people complain about me? Well Cheri, I agree with some ... well almost all of what you said but I have to wonder about something, how many people who are upset with this stuff actually get off their a**es and help others who are not family? I bet not many in reality but they are...

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    They may be different in who processes them but they asked for it and I gave it without any problems - all my info just popped up.

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    Why would you need your SS card? The FAST card is all that is needed when I came back to the states, they didn't even ask for anything else for that matter.

    60% + fsj + unknown fleet owner

    This is an important point because this is where people don't get the idea that things can go bad and they need to have an exit stratigy. Depending on the company or the owner to get you home is wrong, and with that preparing for the worst situation possible without the fund to make a trip home...

    fuel problem

    Well hate to say this but the choice isn't there at some of these places, it is either biodiesel blend or no fuel at all.
