    On the Democrat side...

    If that plays out and Rubio wins the nomination and Trump goes totally renegade and runs as an independent, the Republicans don't have a chance of beating Hillary and neither does Trump. Trump would siphon off too many Republican votes. True, but I don't think he has a real chance at beating...

    This would be the year for a viable 3rd party candidate to win.

    On the Democrat side...

    320 million people live here. About half are over 35 years old and of age to be president. Of this half remaining, roughly 160 million; felonies, birthplace, residency etc. will reduce this number. As a conservative estimate there are about 100 million citizens legally eligible to become...

    In general, if loosely applied, that 48 hour limit can be a decent time limit for sitting. Again it depends on the carrier, your location, your financial situation, day of the week and lunar phase. If you are with a larger carrier and number 5 of 5 on a 2 load a day board and after 48 hours...

    new guy on the block.

    Somehow tomorrow became today. For me it has been a strange day. I spent today with some friends I went to grade school and high school with. We grew up in south Minneapolis but visited a friend that now lives in Mora, Minnesota. We toured a small, way cool FM radio station, KBEK in...

    No. What I said was get several years experience in a tractor/trailer. If you feel you can make the leap to a van, do it. If not, do the straight truck thing for a few years. You have that backwards. Your question should read: I still don't get why the straights don't use the knowledge they...

    Panther drivers... I could use some advice.

    I believe T/T for just about any expedite carrier will be kept busy, provided you are a team. The team thing I can understand with straight trucks. For a tractor/trailer though, you are pulling a company owned trailer, why not do relays on longer runs? Maybe they do but it seems like everyone...

    Tremors, that movie is so bad I have watched four or five times, though I probably have only seen it in its entirety once.

    Panther drivers... I could use some advice.

    Hey, I'm a Panther driver. I've been a Panther driver since 2006 and know just slightly more than nothing about their flatbed division. I have never seen a Panther tractor pulling a flat. Several years ago while laying over at the Pilot in South Bend someone from Panther called me and asked...

    new guy on the block.

    Moving up to straights? Going from a van to a straight truck is a downward movement on the expedite ladder. Many of us started out driving tractor/trailer and after 15 or 20 years of experience moved up to a cargo van. Some, like myself skipped the straight truck phase and made the leap...

    The Trump Card...

    That's because there aren't all that many solutions. 1. REDUCE GOVERNMENT SPENDING. 2. Raise taxes. 3. Both 1 and 2. We would be 9 trillion dollars less in debt which would make the country financially stronger. I think you should be able to answer that question from your own personal...

    The S Word

    I don't have a problem with Panther's 16 hour. It's some of the stupidity as to how it is implemented that bothers me. Aslo, not being up front with actual delivery times. I have done longer loads that deliver in the morning when the consignee opens for business. I have 18 hours to...
