    Oil continues it decline

    It's funny you say that, Dave. It seems that is exactly what you do. You know that the nations largest expeditor is now short a dispatch representative because of your attacks from the sidelines. It also happened to be one of those individuals who gives a d**n about the success of its'...

    Oil continues it decline

    I understand all of that, but it still does not support your claim. You are insinuating they made billions during their 8 years in office, but your data is mostly pre-2000 with the exceptions of their campaign contributions (which cannot be used for personal use). It is called...

    Oil continues it decline

    You're right, Bruno. Lay-offs are caused by high fuel cost! It doesn't have anything to do with... -Greedy, over-payed, lazy union workers pricing themselves out of the market. -Union forced regulations on the company to pay life-long retirement wages. -Lower corporate taxes on business in...

    Oil continues it decline

    And with the recent decreases, Has anyone heard any credit given to the BUSH ADMIN? Not very likely!!, but it is only fair right. All you "Bush-haters" blamed his admin for high fuel, Why not give him credit when prices drop?

    Present

    PRESENT Is this how our Representatives in the UN will be voting on proposals and resolutions? It seems it would be the appropriate display of respect for "The Messiah". If all else fails, we can direct blame to those that vote AYE or NAY. At least if we all vote neutral, we will never be...

    hope everyone votes

    I realize that, but how can you trust Sec. Brunner to "agree on procedures to verify provisional ballots across all Ohio counties", when she blatently refused to follow the ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals which required her office to verify those whose driver's license numbers or...

    Short loads are they worth it?

    Turtle, you are correct, but... This message only pertains to those who already have a first out. If the loaded miles of the next load offer are less than (75,100,175) and you turn it down, then you will not lose your first out. The actual rule is very simple. EACH truck could have a...

    Short loads are they worth it?

    Bruno, your missing my initial point. Only a Moron or TEAM Moron would pass on a load delivering into a prime freight area, like Chicago. I would rather go loaded (AKA Paid) to a major area without an under 75 or 100 than sit idle 100 miles away from a good area hoping for a better offer to...

    hope everyone votes

    Layoutshooter, you should move to Ohio. According to the Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and aslo upheld in District Court. You could register and vote on the same day, no I.D. required. Simply give them a name and the park bench where you slept the previous night. Thanks to ACORN and a...

    Short loads are they worth it?

    There are many times a 99 mile load would be helpful. Have you ever moved any of your fleet 100 miles to get to a better freight area? No need to answer, we already know. So let's say that a load op is delivering into Chicago area, it pays regular contract rate + reasonable fsc. Are your...

    Tipping

    As many of you have stated, I agree TIP's should be based upon the level of service. What many of you do not understand is that currently the FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE FOR TIPPED EMPLOYEES IS $2.13/HR. Yes, the states have their own, but it cannot be any lower than $2.13. Can any of you live off of...

    Tipping

    Moose, first even if you take 1 shower a day and leave $1.00... It does not seem like "a big annual fee". $350 bucks, woop dee doo. There are many that we see that, by looking at them, are lucky to get a shower a week. So, $1.00/wk, big deal. Pay it, if it deserved and above standard service...
