Yes, it is. But there are several reputable carriers who will take on the inexperienced. Panther, for example, will take onpeople new to the business. And 2 years experience at a reputable carrier, such as Panther, is far more qualifying than 2 years at, for lack of a better term, a no-name...

Yes, they do. But you're asking the wrong question. The question should be about the criteria and qualifications an independent (as opposed to a "private," not-for-hire) owner/operator needs to meet in order to get loads from a major carrier. "Have van, Will travel" is not one of them.

Garlic pills, powder and oil will help boost the immune system and reduce colds (63% in multiple studies compared to the placebo group), but only the raw garlic will do anything for cholesterol (it'll drop cholesterol 10 points or better). The raw garlic needs to be crushed, minced, chewed, to...

I don't think it's gonna hurt, and it 'may" help. I don't do a lot of smoothies while on the road, but at home I have a Vitamix, so, yeah. I don't do a lot of protein powder in my smoothies, but once in a while. Extracted protein powders can be hard on the kidneys, colon and other things, so I...

What are you even talking about? Fox News didn't conclude Cain contracted the virus at the Tulsa Rally. All Fox News said what that Cain attended the rally and didn't wear a mask. That's hardly the same as flatly stating as a fact that Cain contracted the virus at the rally, which is what NBC...

I think it's worth looking into, but that article should be taken with a grain of may. Because there are way too many "may"s in it (for my liking). The last sentence in the article is the most important: "Though its benefits seem promising, more human research is needed." [emphasis, moi] Human...

Good news! A surgical cancellation! On Monday the 3rd I get to get tested again for COVID-19, and then on Thursday I get to go in and have the Chrysler Building shoved up my, well, you know. I'm excited. Can you tell?

Herman Cain has died of COVID-19. He was hospitalized on July 1 with some symptoms and after testing positive. He was 74 years old, and a stage 4 colon cancer survivor. NBC has determined, without evidence, that he contracted the virus at the Trump Tulsa rally 10 days before.

I'm shooting for the 10th, but I'll have to wait and see. I'm good right now driving around town (meaning, a mile or two), but diving 30 minutes to the next town, no way. The thought of a 500 mile run right now makes me laugh. On the upside, I've lost 2 notches on my belt and 60 pounds in the...

Update Update... After the colonoscopy consultation, it turns out they can't even fit me in until September. One of the surgeons is booked until December, and the other 3 until September. I'm not waiting around for that. I'll get that rebooked after the first of the year or something. There is...

First, Trump did not associate himself with that doctor. He plainly said he doesn't know her. Second, just because she's a wingnut doesn't mean her experiences with COVID-19 patients isn't accurate. Third, as usual, the media attacked the weakest link amongst those doctors, and didn't say a...

Update. Now they want me to have a colonoscopy, which I've never had before, and apparently I was supposed to have had one when I turned 50. What fresh Hell is this?

I suppose it could be characterized that way, but her choices weren't between Biden and Trump, it was between Biden and not voting. Her comment was made in the context of the uninspired activists of the left wing of the party (socialists, Bernie supporters, etc.) who face the choice of being...

Looks like I'll be back in a couple of weeks. Surgery went well. Had a rough time of it for about a week but since then it's a little better every day. Got most of the stitches out a week ago, and will get the stitches removed from the drain tube holes in a couple of hours. They told me after...

Here's a snippet from a CNN article (opinion) article about freedom of speech in the workplace... The use of "or even" is just laugh out loud hilarious. OMG, the horror of it all.

This is quite dated and obviously no longer fits the narrative that the Press was so desperately trying to create for a while there, but even so, I still think this is both hilarious and genius. I don't know who did it, but it's great.

On a not-totally unrelated note, for context... Do you remember when Bill Clinton refused to sign into law the Partial Birth Abortion Bill, that would have outlawed partial birth abortions? He was excoriated by Republicans (and low information voters). The problem with the bill was, it ALSO...

Granted, the Republicans have a majority in the Senate, but slow and incompetent responses from the Senate is hardly exclusive to Republicans. It happens every year with every mandatory deadline spending bill, regardless of who holds the majority. It even happened during Obama's first 2 years...

This is a graphic from 2014, and it hasn't changed much. It shows 51% of conservatives get at least some of their news from sources they don't even trust (presumably liberal sources), whereas only 30% of liberals do. Here's an interesting report from Pew on specific news sources, and the trust...
