So then the iPhone becomes the same as the built-in WiFi of your laptop. Then you'd be able to connect to WiFi with the built-in WiFi on the laptop, or the one built into the phone. WiFi on the iPhone (or most Smartphones, Blackberry's, PDA's, etc.) enables you to check e-mail and do Web...

It's the best out there, sort of, for getting an accurate number of miles, anyway. And depending on the modules you buy (Streets, HAZMAT, Fuel Optimization, Tolls, POI's, Zip Codes, etc), it is the best there is. Somewhere around 85% of all trucking companies use PC Miler, as does the IFTA and...

Louisville is back. And now there's an Auburn, KY board (about 16 miles NW of the trucks stops in Franklin).

The Brewers have to have several things go right in order for them to even contend. Ben Sheets has to be consistent, and healthy. Far from a certainty. Kendall needs to be a significant upgrade over Estrada, and in some ways he will be, but probably not in others. The Bewers have no closer...

When you connect to the Internet through a tethered cable or a Bluetooth connection to phone, the phone becomes the Aircard. The $50 a month has got nothing to do with whether you use an Airdard or your phone to acess the Net. You still need a data plan in order to do so. At Verizon, the data...

All Garmin units have the "truck" setting. All units with the same software have the same routing and maps, as well. There are settings for car, truck, taxi, motorcycle, ambulance (which will take you down the wrong way on one-way streets). Higher end units are more bells and whistles. I think...

McCain's a grouchy old man. At his age, he has every right to be a grouchy old man, but I don't want a grouchy old man's finger on the button, just the same. Ralph Nader is even older and grouchier than McCain. Plus, plus!, Nader's parents were immigrants from Lebanon. Do we really want an...

We never had the understanding that democracy means having a mutual obligation of any kind whatsoever. Democracy doesn't mean mutual obligation. Socialism does, tho. Utopiansim does. "-- that we cannot measure the greatness of our society by the strongest and richest of us, but we have to...

Shippers may or may not care, consignees may or may not care, but the paying customer usually does, as exclusive use of the truck is part of the higher cost for expedite, and it's usually part of the contract (often understood via prior arrangements and loads) of the load with the customer. Most...

Walgreen, CVS and the other pharmacies have these, as well.

Professional courtesy in what manner? This is an open forum on a Web site, not a loading dock. Simple courtesy and civility is one thing, but I cannot see how professional courtesy plays a role here, other than in discussion regarding the profession itself. Moreover, this simply an open forum...

Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that you said if you have a hyphenated race, then you're not a full blooded American. Last time I checked, "American" wasn't a race. Then you gave us the definition of Native, ostensibly, I guess, to mean that "someothercountry-American" just won't do for...

A locomotive engine burns roughly 4.5 gallons per hour at idle. The US Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) provides fuel consumption data for locomotives and shows that overall in the US trains got .06 miles per liter which translates to .14 miles per gallon, or about 7 gallons per mile...

Did you know that if you have your own well and your own mini refinery in the back yard, if you make your own fuel you still have to pay the taxes on it. Same with making your own biodiesel for collected chicken grease from KFC, and from being a trucking company that owns its own refinery.

You can't offer owner/ops fuel like that, not unless the refinery comes complete with an oil well next door that's hemorrhaging crude. You gotta buy oil, by the barrel, just like everybody else. Nice thought, though. One can wonder why the oil companies don't own the trucking companies. Next...

I don't check online every day, 'cause I can mainly look up at the sign and see the price of fuel where I'm about to buy it. But when I do check, here's where I go. http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/ TruckMiles.com - Daily Fuel Prices by ProMiles Flying J: Current Diesel Fuel Prices Pricing

The media doesn't quite know what to do with Obama. They refuse to treat him even the way they treat Hillary. They hammered Bill Cunningham (WLW radio, Cincinnati) over the use of Obama's full name, including <gasp!> his middle name, in a McCain rally warmup speech. The national media went nuts...

There have been many issues brought up here on this forum. I would hope that a Council Member would be able to recognize any relevant issues seen here and not have to wait for the same issue to be found in a duplicate message via the Panther Web site. Not being in a TT I cannot read your...

Then why constantly bring up Farrakhan and his connection, real or imagined, to Obama? It's skirting the issue. In the other post referenced here, it's easy to sing the praises of some other black candidate when the other black candidate isn't even a candidate. It certainly gives the impression...

The Astros have taken a giant leap backwards, the Brewers are stumbling, the Cardinals are fluttering off their perch, and the Pirates are adrift and floundering. (sometimes I crack myself up). I think it's between the Cubs and the Reds, with the slight edge, at least on paper, going to the...
