    Woman faces life sentence for traffic deaths.

    Involuntary manslaughter should not be a life sentence. The motorcyclist was also at fault, driving too fast AND following too closely. There is nothing that can be done to fix the stupid part of that woman. That was just a total boneheaded move on her part.

    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    Re: Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border. First off, it is NEVER any countries problem to take care of kids. It is 100% the responsibility of those who produce those kids to care for them. PERIOD. Second off, they could not get into this country if Obama would man up, do his...

    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    Re: Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border. Right on topic again. The problem at the border has NOTHING to do with "birth control" and EVERYTHING to do with Obama NOT doing his duty and controlling the borders. Obama is the problem, 100%. What is taking place is not an...

    How Detroit went broke

    Then you KNOW what is USED to be, and how FAST it went away. I KNEW miners, salt miners, who live in River Rouge, in the early '60's, and what happened to the area they lived in. I REMEMBER, Ecorse and Inkster, when they were GOOD places to live, same with much of Taylor. I played at the...

    How Detroit went broke

    Young was the least stupid of the stupid leaders of Detroit. He still sucked. I am old enough to remember Detroit BEFORE Young.

    A "hero"?

    FDCC drivers HAVE to BY LAW, attend "Blow and Glow" classes every so often. Mrs. Layoutshooter and I just completed, and passed, such a class on Friday. FedEx makes sure that we know what we should do in such cases. We are grateful for that training. Yes, it's boring. Yes, it's repetitive...

    How Detroit went broke

    Detroit went broke, due to LiBeRaL economics, unions and total stupidity. You cannot spend money that you don't have. THAT is how Detroit went broke. They borrowed against an uncertain future. They lost.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Obama's very public use of certain "executive orders" made it quite clear that the United States was not going to return "children" and other "migrants" to their home countries. Human traffices know this. The obvious lack of enforcement, on the part of the United States, as ordered by Obama...

    They are not "fleeing" anything, they are being encouraged to come here.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    The greatest threat is the threat to this Nation that is caused by NOT controlling our borders.

    What Country best fits your personality?

    I got New Zealand. I would love to visit there, I could NEVER live there. There were a LOT of very goofy questions/choices, as per normal for these things.

    A "hero"?

    Gasoline does not generate it's own heat, organic peroxides do. 50F if I remember correctly. We have not carried it for several years. I also believe that there are different temps for each product. Organic peroxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    A "hero"?

    One of the most overused words these days. Monitoring you TCU while under load is a required part of being in the temp contol business. That driver upheld his responsibility. We have carried that product in the past. Nasty stuff. NOT the worse stuff we have had on the truck, but getting up there.

    Say Hi to July

    Finished our "Glow and Blow" class, both Mrs. Layout and I got 100% on the test, like that was hard. :rolleyes: Now we are home for the weekend. Back at it on Monday morning.

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    An employer, regardless of what the feds want to demand, has the right to hire the most qualified person for the job. It is also the right for that employer to determine what those qualifications are. IF that employer determines, for what ever reason, that being able to read, write and speak...

    Say Hi to July

    The equipment that they were using yesterday would cost me a FORTUNE. From what I saw replacing a spindle is not a job for this guy. It took that guy, who does it for a living several hours to put that spindle in place. WAY over my head. What's a truck?

    Say Hi to July

    There is nothing more boring than sitting at a repair shop. I can promise you that once I am out of this business that is ONE thing that I would NEVER miss!

    Say Hi to July

    Yeah, it was the only place open when I got down there and I was HOPING to salvage the two runs I was dispatched on. THAT did not work, I was there 38 hours. That is why we decided to take off the rest of the week, get that class in, and not have to take off MORE time in Aug.
