Happy birthday! [And sorry it's late - But at least it isn't the customer's freight!] We love to poke you, you're such a good sport - The flak you got, over just 'those shorts'! When you say "I've been thinking" It may make some people run, But most will hang out, [make popcorn!] And...

I hope the OP & others who don't know about the laws will pay attention, because if they get caught picking up & delivering within the states, US Customs & Immigration will impound vehicle and cargo, [and keep it] then declare the driver 'persona non grata' in the US. There are a few exceptions...

Funny, how some believe 'might makes right', when they also believe they are the biggest, baddest asses on the planet. But what if an enemy [or coalition of them] were able to carpet bomb, vaporize, or biologically decimate US?

The job of the US military isto defend the US - not to "break things & kill people" [what an immature attitude that portrays!]. The Ebola virus is a threat to the US, ergo, the military can play a role in defense. So can us civilians, by educating ourselves on what precautions [if any] we...

I recall seeing something on tv years ago about Ebola, and it was pretty frightening. Don't know if it was Preston's, but I will soon, the Hot Zone is on my Kindle now. That the basics of containing viral epidemics have been known for years is what is so infuriating with the Dallas hospital...

Yep. Until I couldn't find the Aviation Services bldg at the very small airport, in the dark, lol. That part, we're used to - it was just the demanding calls from the customer [not the shipper/consignee, they were great] that made it tough. Props to Neil for guiding me to the airfield [see...

Get over yourself - nobody's "offended" by the idea. Everyone is expressing an opinion, which they're entitled to, same as you. FYI: being offended involves hurt feelings and/or resentment - do you see that in any response? Or is it just the word of the week/month/year that everyone is using...

Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Given the lag in symptoms, I can't see a travel ban doing much good, if any. That's assuming the evasion of it by rerouting could be caught by Customs, but that's not a given by a long shot. Mostly, a travel...

Whoever said "the short ones are the biggest PITA loads" nailed it! At least 4 calls 'from the customer', beginning with " The customer wants to know why the truck didn't leave until 1740, when dispatched at 1640?" I was so surprised [not to mention: driving], that I didn't even realize that...

Hey - I completely forgot that I'd taken myself OUT of service, lol, after spending 5 days in service, with nothing. Not complaining, I decided to go to Florida [to see my granddaughters!] but I kind of forgot about the putting myself back in Hokey Pokey. I did accept an offer, but we didn't get...

Sometimes I wonder: if JFK's admonishment to "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" had continued to be our guiding spirit, how much better off we would all be today? It was terrific advice on the true meaning of patriotism.

You're only sorry if you let people who needle you for their own jollies decide what you want to do.

"The truck and all items inside the truck must be in the same condition as when this contract was signed" ? Do they make giant plastic slipcovers for it? :rolleyes:

Nurses are required to show proof of a certain number of Continuing Education Hours when renewing their license - if memory serves, it's 24 hours every 2 years. There is no such requirement for doctors. At one seminar, the doctors who were there [the only one where I saw docs, and the only one...

We'd be much safer if the military were sent to hospitals to ensure that the correct protocols are being taught and observed, and that the proper equipment and supplies are available to the staff on the front line of the fight against Ebola. At the Texas hospital where one patient has died and...

This obsessive need to say something disrespectful about the current POTUS [and liberals, too] is beyond pathetic, IMO. There's no substance behind it, it's just nastiness for its' own sake.

Yes, I do. By your logic, I [and millions of others] know the real truth behind the stories, because we're actually in the USA, and have even been to Washington DC. I've been half a dozen times, myself. Yet, you question our reality all the time, lol.:rolleyes:

Where all 'low information' people get their info: headlines, videos, photo captions, 'crawlers' along the bottom of the screen, and [maybe] the 'story highlights' alongside the stories they don't bother to read carefully, or question. It just kills me that a 'story' of one paragraph gets...

Where?! And did you ask if they knew what it read? It would have seriously startled me too, lol.

Pushy salespeople are a huge red flag: if their product or service is worth the money, they wouldn't be so anxious, right?
