    Ron Paul. The Nursing Home Walkaway.

    Here's what everyone needs to know about that CNN interview w/ Gloria Borger: Gloria Borger is married to LANCE MORGAN. Mr. Morgan is the chief communications and crisis strategist for POWELL TATE. Powell Tate is a Washington D.C.firm that represents and lobbies for the very same MILITARY...

    New HOS Rules are out

    If ya don't like it, it's time to call your Congressman, and OOIDA know that this isn't funny. It's no surprise that this went down so close to Christmas, and when everyone else in Washington is concerned about a payroll tax deal.

    Ron Paul. The Nursing Home Walkaway.

    I saw that interview on CNN. Did anyone notice how Gloria Borger was basically apologizing for asking that same question over and over again as if it were her responsibility to ask over and over? IMO, it was a dumb interview and she knew she had crossed the line and was attempting to save...

    Preserving your mental/emotional well-being on the road

    After talking to one of my new drivers this morning, it got me thinking about how important it is for anyone driving over the road, to preserve their sanity. Being away from home for days or even weeks on end can take a tolls on one's well being, in a mental/emotional way. I have found that...

    Penske

    I don't know if the used Penske truck guy is normally on here or not. I do know this. Many companies have employees whose main job is to monitor social media. They do it to preserve the reputation of their brand. My brother-in-law started working as the creative director for a hotshot...

    Fedex delivery

    Why should the owner contact Fedex privately instead of posting on Youtube? This is the age of open source intelligence. This isn't the Cold War, where guys in the CIA know a bunch of stuff about folks that no one else knows. This one video will do more to raise the bar of excellence in...

    The Iranian Threat Evolves

    High tech, then low tech. First they have nuclear capability, but then they can't bring down a drone. Which is it? They seem to change their story from day to day.

    Hoping the apple fell far from the tree

    Here's how to know who is actually an "electable" candidate. First, you win one of the primaries or caucuses. Then you win another. Then you win another. The primary season operates differently than a general election for a reason. A candidate doesn't need to have great support everywhere at...

    Police Harrassment

    My friend and I were pulled over many years ago in I-75 in Houston County, GA, where we were sited for "speeding." (He said we were doing 69 in a 55 zone. My friend had the car on cruise at 55 the entire time.) He seemed VERY nervous with his hand firmly on his sidearm, as he even made initial...

    You'll take it from my cold dead fingers!

    Of course. That's why I commented. We think we will somehow be exempt, just because we use a headset. But yes, I still hold that it is a violation of our liberty, because it is merely aimed at one sector of the community. TRUCKERS. My right to use a handheld phone certainly ends when...

    You'll take it from my cold dead fingers!

    I was surprised at how many people on here thought it no big deal to have this kind of violation of liberty passed, simply because they thought it was a decent law and they already used a headset. It's a slippery slope that has no business on the books.

    How to avoid fax charges

    Hey BigCat. Where did you get a fax sent at Walmart? I've had drivers go in several times and different locations, and we've NO ONE at Walmart that knows anything about a faxing service.

    How to avoid fax charges

    If you don't mind a DIY station Staples Office products has free self faxing. Since our office fax has a toll free number, I have found that many receivers don't mind taking a moment and faxing it back to help the driver. I didn't know about the Walmart one. Where do you go for that...

    Going Independent

    If you don't have a handle on any income streams for a company right now, it's not gonna get any better when you get that letter in the mail from FMCSA. Keep asking around. There are few who've tried it on here and found out that it's not golden out there.
