    Abortion and women

    No one with an IQ larger than their hat size needs to make up such a ludicrous response - there's more than enough evidence without resorting to lies, much less such preposterous lies. Judging from advice [in another thread, but germane] to "make it about a concern for safety, rather than...

    Abortion and women

    That's according to one small group of volunteers in NY. If the ridiculous statements of one small group out of hundreds could delegitimize the larger group, the Republican Party would have disappeared long ago. When science reaches the point where trans men need to terminate pregnancies...

    That JimBob Duggar doesn't see molestation as "unusual or cause for concern" is appalling. Even more so that "Most of our friends in church said their sons did it too" doesn't raise a red flag regarding the education those kids are getting. And these people are held up as role models?!

    Shipping Hazmat, Help please.

    While I just finished a 2000 mile load that was marked HM and required placards, keeping paperwork and emergency contacts in plain sight, stopping at RR tracks not marked 'exempt' - the whole routine. I did not, however, flag [or stop] at predictable intervals to inspect the load, as that was...

    Caitlyn jenner

    Society has everything to do with gender roles, which are assigned according to one's apparent gender. Society has evolved to the point where I can do any job a man can, [in theory] as long as I'm capable, but not to the point where I can say I actually am a man, inside, and be accepted. But...

    Caitlyn jenner

    Even though I drive a truck, I have no way to understand feeling as if the body I was born with is the wrong gender, I literally cannot imagine it. But I've seen and read of enough medical mistakes and mistaken assumptions to know that we don't know anywhere near enough to say whether it's a...

    The Duggars

    The Duggars aren't your average Christians, they're members of an extremist ideology. They homeschool their kids, and minimize [if not eliminate] all contact with people who don't subscribe to their beliefs: no dating without chaperones, no physical contact [except for a 'side hug'] before...

    Caitlyn jenner

    I'm not understanding why it MUST be one or the other: genetic or societal. Why can't it be both? Like being left handed: it was society that stigmatized it, because they had no way to explain it, and mostly, different is viewed as wrong. That being said, how about we forego the labels like...

    Been stuck in an office for 26 years......

    I forgot to mention that I was offered a load as soon as I finished delivery [Las Vegas to Tucson], but I couldn't accept because my flimsy license plate did a frisbee routine, and I had to wait for documentation before moving again. A load to Las Vegas would be sweet, I've been a few times, but...

    Been stuck in an office for 26 years......

    Great! Delivered to the Proving Grounds in Yucca, Az, which was cool - but they made me sign a nondisclosure agreement, so I can't say anything else. They were extremely nice, though, and efficient, so it was a good delivery. Still waiting for a load, but I expected that going in, so no big...

    Why i no speaka dee ingleesh so gut..

    Ok, Windsor, sorry - I couldn't tell that you were joking. I love the various cultures and food and customs that we've added to our own, thanks to immigrants, but I firmly believe that we need to choose which of them we adopt. Language is one we don't want to change.

    Thanks, Diva, but it's the plate itself that doesn't hold up to the wind shear, looks like. I'm going to try reinforcing it with a couple more behind, until something better appears. I used zip ties for the wreath on the grill, that held very well, until I was ready to take it off.

    One Man Fight to Save the Expedited Trucking Industry

    You misread Xiggi's comment, where he said he doesn't let the crazy things others do make him crazy too, as a statement of not caring what other people do, and you got flack for that, because Xiggi is known to us as one of the good guys. I don't drive a Sprinter, but if I had the info you have...

    Why i no speaka dee ingleesh so gut..

    We do, and rightfully so. Being unable to communicate puts other people in a difficult position, and to do so by choice is just rude. Particularly when those other people need to communicate to do their job, like hospital & emergency personnel. American English is a crazy language, no...

    Shipping Hazmat, Help please.

    Anyone who logs should [and probably does] know about that, it's been official for awhile now. Those on paper logs no longer need to fill out the DVIR [Daily Vehicle Inspection Report] unless they find a defect that can affect safety.

    What a horrible woman

    I used to arrive for work early & sit in my car for a few minutes [enjoying the music] before going in, and seeing apparently healthy people park in the handicapped spots really irked me. So much, that I lettered some post-it notes: "Ignorance is a handicap, but not for this parking space" I...

    June in Load One land

    In Kingman Az, waiting for new plate to be overnighted. Having been cited for plate on front bumper years ago, [because they don't care about the state requirement that it be there], I moved it to the rear, under the light, and it was sheared off by the wind. Does anyone have a simple way to...

    More Insight Into Baltimore's Crime Problems

    You can't see how the list of a systemic and sustained effort to devalue the working class affects everyone because you apparently feel, like many "successful" people, that your life is fine - anyone complaining must be doing something wrong. The wrongdoing is in the systemic and sustained...

    More Insight Into Baltimore's Crime Problems

    If they haven't already, [and I find it hard to believe, in today's environment], they will, eventually. People in positions of power dislike being told "You can't", by anyone, [regulations suck!] but most especially by those who are subordinate to them. About those laws and regulations: if...

    Former Maryland Governor O'Malley announces presidential bid.

    I think youse guys need to quit paying attention to the mainstream media and talking heads and their 'polls', and try reading a wide variety of letters to the editor and comments after articles, because people [regular people] don't agree with any of that. Hillary is not much loved among...
