How soon can we implement a congressional debate and then an congressional agreement to get those additional cheap barrels here to bring fuel...
Good point's both Ron's. Finally we can have a discussion. First, let us not forget that it is not "our" fuel. The fact that shippers have...
You should have pointed out to the supervisor at OOIDA that her wimp boss (President of OOIDA) is supposed to be one of our leaders. If the...
Nobody pays FSC because there are guys like you that don't make them pay it. If every shipper had to pay and every truck had to collect the same...
Sorry to hear that. Any owner can sympathize. It's been a difficult economy to operate in for a while now. Roadmaster is cranking out drivers so...
You say you don't want public pressure on "congress". Isn't that the govenment? How many decades has congress debated opening ANWR. For over 20...
It's obvious your having a hard time following discussion here so i'll try again. Freight rates are of no relevance and not the reason truckers...
Don't worry brick, i'd never give you credit for the mandatory FSC. If fuel is what's making it difficult for us to stay in business, pass it on...
Brickman, most have agreed that it is the fuel problem that is causing problems for the trucking industry these days, not tires, truck...
Well spoken Ron. Not practical, but well spoken. The solution is in the institutions that mandate the regulations that you currently fall under....
Unfortunately, there is no way to get full disclosure without government assistance. However every driver, broker, and trucking company is...
I've got three trucks. Were is your solution. As usual another myopic driver. Go stand around and hold hands with ronmars and together your...
You can strike all you want but your strike has no plan other than to hope that someone gives you a handout. The trucking industry needs...
Finally somebody puts forth a reasonable set of solutions that are practical and feasible. It is not a perfect or complete fix but we need to...
Once again it's not the cost of tires that are putting us out of business. You don't stop and buy a set of tire once every couple of days. I...
Your freight rate could be the same as was 20 years ago because all costs are relatively fixed except for fuel costs. Making a flat rate for...
How are they our fuel bills? That's why you're going out of business. JB Hunt and Swifts rates never put small companies out of business. The...
Short term, probably. A lack of vision put the trucking industry here in the first place. I hate to tell you but it took years to complaicency...
This is actually a reasonable idea. I don't know how effective. Truckers hate to wait in line for a few minutes to fuel. I can just imagine the...
Let's say you did block up downtown, what then? You go to jail and your truck goes to the impound and is your state capitol going to cut fuel...
