    Liberal News' Biases and Double Standards.

    Like this one, you mean? "A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed." Deuteronomy 22:13-21 And people worry about Sharia law?! :eek:

    Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Owner?

    Re: Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Own What you asked was based upon the assertion that Tom charges 'rent', which is incorrect, plus an incorrigible desire to see how much trouble you can cause [aka 'poking']. Not gonna play along, because it's...

    New Driver or trying to b.

    Duwayne, there's plenty of dealers who would love to give you a chance to show what you can do: with no money down, just 800%APR for 17 years, no problem. :rolleyes:

    Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Owner?

    Re: Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Own He takes a % of the layover money because the truck uses fuel, which he pays for, and incurs wear & tear, has to be insured, and isn't making money while parked. I have no problem with that.

    Re: Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Own Forgot: what was the bonus for, and why wasn't it shared?

    Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Owner?

    Re: Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Own Choose drivers who understand that if the fleet owner doesn't make enough, the driver will be pedalling a Big Wheel instead, and it's not a problem. You don't need to "train" them, if they can't grasp the...

    I wouldn't say they're afraid of him, but they have enough reason to despise him. Like his approval of a raise for the state troopers of 17%, [?!], while other unions are limited to "negotiating raises equal to inflation". It's surely a coincidence that the troopers union is one of the few that...

    Frosty February 2015

    Only a driver would ignore the "fare tell the tx boarder" and zero in on the 'i'75, lol. ;)

    Thanks for the correction, don't know where my brain was there....:o

    Liberal News' Biases and Double Standards.

    Afraid of Walker? Not likely. If they spend a lot of time on him, it's because the Republicans do - maybe because of a little thing coming up in 2016.... It's amusing how often the attribution of 'fear' sounds like wishful thinking, lol.

    Liberal News' Biases and Double Standards.

    One wonders if Breitbart knows what happened when Ronald Reagan was called to testify for the HUAC [House UnAmerican Activities Committee, chaired by McCarthy], when Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild: he sang like a canary, repeating every bit of gossip, innuendo, and tittle tattle...

    Honey

    I like honey in oatmeal, Lady Gray tea, and once in awhile, in plain yogurt. I finally found some Tupelo honey [after loving the Van Morrison song for decades, lol] that's excellent. It's almost gone now, and it's a seasonal thing, so I was wondering about where I'd get good honey now. Turtle...

    February Locations and Banter

    Maybe the fender mirror on this Freightliner was made of "pot metal" too - it just fell off, driving through the J in Mt Vernon, Il. Course, it was full of the the most horrendous islands of choppy ice I've ever seen anywhere, and I felt like a rowboat in a hurricane, but still, you don't expect...

    The Brian Williams saga.

    So any reporter who was covering Ferguson can claim experience in a war zone too?

    Deadline for signing up for health insurance is February 15th.

    Good grief: "It's difficult to get people to cooperate at a traffic light"? Where are you driving, on race tracks? Also: if 'co-op' smacks too much of collectivism, socialism, communism, et al, clearly no one told all the midwest farmers that - I don't think they'd be so willing to join all...

    CDLs for CVs

    Having a CDL does not subject the driver of a cargo van to HOS, logs, or scales. If they are required to enter the scale, it's because the state requires it, and it will be posted: "All vehicles over 6000 lbs must enter scales". HOS and logs are also determined by the GVW: 26,001 is the...

    Big Rigs and those pile ups.

    If I got a text asking for my status, I think I'd be unable to resist responding with Epilepticus. Or maybe just Quo. Seriously, do they know what can happen if the driver they text is in a wreck while reading/replying to their texts? Because friends & family are often unaware that you're...

    Big Rigs and those pile ups.

    You realize that it's the "customer" who wants the info, right? I totally agree, dispatch shouldn't need to call for info, [and at Load 1, they don't], especially to ask where you are, because WTH good is a satellite if they have to ask? and unless you've indicated a possible delay, they should...

    Chinese attacking personal computers

    That's one way to bypass the profanity software, lol. Don't try it on facebook, though - Zuckerberg learned Mandarin Chinese last year. ;)

    Big Rigs and those pile ups.

    It depends on whether they are determined to be at fault - if so, they are fired. I know one driver who wrecked a truck, when dispatch called shortly after a pickup, asking for info on the BOL. Driver reached for it, taking eyes off road, then saw the truck heading towards the shoulder [the hand...
