Bye, Beemer.
Ya, my money's on your guess.
And Inkasnana, that'd be why the Beemer got banned to begin with.. threatening behavior.
Bye, Beemer.
maybe it would be a good thing for everyone to fill in ALL the info on the profile and NOT just leave things blank
Hint hint to the forum GODS
It was fun folks got to run . I got this great load.
Maybe a one-time $5 fee for new profiles? It would certainly get rid of 99% of the problems we're talking about.
ALF = from a different planet?
Or is it
ALF = Association of libertarian feminist?
I wanna give a shout out to inksana for correcting mr. vango. My little girls (6 + 3) are expecting ME to "be a man", and some of the most influential people in my life gave me the same great advice. If you would like I will gladly share my story with you right now I am at the J in Laredo. Am I your enemy because I tell you the truth? I haven't posted because I got a run while you were typing. All I am saying is this nation has 2+ generations of fatherless children and while our mamas did a great job it takes a DADDY to make a man strong or girl for that matter. I am not talking about the back yard brawl, spit, and cuss kind of strength you refer to but a strength that comes from within a place way down deep where most folks are afraid to look. I have seen the enemy within and the enemy within is ones greatest adversary. Any fool can start an arguement. I will give you a hug too a big manly, it's okay son you can do it hug. If you want pity you will not find it here. There are soldiers coming home in bodybags everyday, with sons and daughters who will never get that hug from daddy. If you want to cry and vent do it somewhere else then come receive some sound advice.
Ive been reading the board for a while and its getting a little deep here. The drivers getting 2-3k a week are straight truck drivers not the cargo vans. And the straight trucks are taking van freight. How do I know this? I drive a cargo van for a man that drives a straight truck and he says 1 out of 3 loads are van loads. And this isnt a case of no vans in the area. He even asked 1 of the vans drivers why they turned down a decent load and he was told that it wasnt offered to him. This has happened several times. The board numbers I dont believe are accurate either. Ive spent the last 2 months in texas and the south. I go on a board thats says it does 1 or 2 a day and I sit there for 3 days and nothing moves. This happened week after week after week. I came up to Chicago after finally getting a run to Peoria and sat there for two days on a 1 a day board. Finally friday on friday after getting paid $88 for a run that I did two weeks ago(atlanta to gadsen al) I dead headed up to Chicago friday pm. Got offered a discounted run sat am that I had to refuse because I have cats with me and it was going to a power plant and they wouldnt allow me in with the cats. Late sat pm they sent me a 140 mile run from Ohare to the airport in Champaign. I ran it and cleared out my savings to dh back up to chicago instead of being 3rd on 1 a day board (probably less than 1 a day but they dont give out less than 1 a day average and round up to 1) so I am 8 on a board that supposed to do 14 a day. great should get out early afternoon. Nope only 3 got out on Monday but the average stayed the same . I finally got a run offer at 7pm tuesday going to cedar rapids. 254 miles with a .10 fsc. that will likely be my last run this week. a total of 394 paid miles. This is the average for me. And before you ask I have 100% on time, 100% safety, 100% in service and 100% acceptance for 7,14 days and 86% for 30 days.
The reason some of you guys on this board get more and better runs is your companies know who you are and you are fed more runs or better runs so if someone complains you can respond "I get good runs you just must be having bad luck" It wouldnt do the companies any good if the spokespeople on this board were able to badmouth it. So your guys are benifiting from being on this board all the time. Every driver I speak to( and I havent seen a whole lot of drivers recently) seems to be a week or two away from quitting
I have spoken with one of the company bigshots and he keeps replacing fleet owners drivers because he is afraid that they will take thier trucks somewhere else. Where the heck are they going to go? Noone is hiring. But they insist on replacing the drivers and starving out the single o/o and drivers Its not fair. Ive probably taken a 60% cut in pay since last September. But I'll bet the executives are still getting 100% of their pay. but not the drivers. But what what goes around comes around and they will get theirs
I said nothing different this time. What is the difference in your mind? Is that a not so veiled threat? A person who would threaten lives over anything especially an expedite forum needs serious counsel. Now you are going to talk about God?
