Re: diesel fuel: why isn't it cheaper than gasoline?
I wouldn't be surprised if some of his biggest campaign contributors were from
Saudi Arabia and/or other OPEC members. The Bush's made their money in oil so
they can't ignore their arab buddies now can they? Iraq was all about making
money for Halliburton and Cheney's buddies.

If they are leased out to JB, Schneider, et al or ar JB/Werner/Orange
company drivers or are UNION PROFESSIONAL drivers like YellowRoadway,
they are driving legal or pretty close. There are OOs driving legal
too...they are usually in specialized areas though, or are
exceptionally good business people. No question, if you are making
late model chrome wagon payments and hauling brokered dry van freight
it's past tough.
I'd love to see the DOT do to the two-log 20 hr 7 day artists what NY
State did to people drag racing for money on public streets-take away
their toys and ruin them and make them flip burgers. Just a few of
them to scare the daylights out of everyone else. The two log artists
are crashing and killing people and depressing the freight rates for
everyone else. If you can't make money legally-and I'm talking
substantial compliance, not work to rule-it's time to do something
else or do it differently.
They do not have a constitutional right to drive 20 hours a day 7
days a week.They are not heroes or freedom fighters. They should be
stopped and the DOT and Highway Patrol are right to do it. I'm not
advocating putting people out of business for minor infractions, I am
advocating forcing people who have gone to great lengths to endanger
all road users, off the road.
And for the record, MBZ and Peugeot and other foreign diesel cars had
zero, zip, effect on diesel prices because their market share is so
low. MBZ hasn't sold diesel cars here for the last three or so years!
The Cummins/PowerStroke/6.5/Duramax hillbilly wagons burn twenty to
fifty times as much...but they have no major effect either. Class 8
trucks, construction, ag, and stationary account for almost all the
diesel fuel flow.
And ULSD is inevitable because refineries sell so much of it to Uncle
Sugar-who calls it JP-8. Put everyone on the stuff and make the few
operators of diesels that don't like it-I hear RoosaMaster pumps
don't-refit hardened pumps or add Power Service to every tank. Making
ALL diesel pumps go to a hardened config would create a good
aftermarket business and give us 90% of a multifuel engine at
reasonable prices.

Teamster, who? I don't know of any "over the road" transport
company that doesn't lease 100% owner/operators. The last store to use
their own drivers was Safeway, about twenty five years ago.

Re: OT: Not Every Trucker Runs Two Logs
LTL companies are still largely union. TL companies like Schneider,
JB, Werner, et al, are nonunion but they own their tractors and
trailers, they also have OOs under lease. A condition of lease is you
have satellite (Qualcomm) terminal installed. They track you pretty
carefully and while you can pull a few minor shenanigans, they will
catch and fire gross violators. Company trucks are watched much
closer. What keeps 'em in line, more than the DOT, is the insurance
companies and the specter of huge liability. There are too many people
in manufacturing states who would dearly love to bend JB and
especially Don Schneider over for unionbusting for them to get a jury
pool that wouldn't kill them. And can you blame them? (Let me rephrase
that-could normal humans blame them??)
