I agree with most of what you called out there. Yes, the fleet owner is the one that owes you. Only comment I'd add is on being sent out to a bad freight area. I think when you sign on with a carrier you owe it to yourself to find out what their primary lanes are. If dispatch is asking you...

I worked in shipping a couple of years ago and we did a fair amount of expedite. Just like your operating cost may be more or less than anyone else on this forum, so it goes with carriers. Carrier A may pay their dispatchers more, have software that costs more, more expensive rent, etc...

If Obama tries really hard, maybe one day he'll be as great a president as Carter. Hopefully he'll follow in his footsteps come next election.:D

May 22, 1856 Senator Charles Sumner of MA attacked with Cane on the Senate floor by a Rep. from SC. Calling Obama a liar seems rather gentile in comparison dontchya think? C'mop--the guy apologized already. Asking him to apologize to the the rest of Congress is like asking a drunk that...

Crying? I haven't heard any from the Buckeye fans I know. They were what, 7 point underdogs going into the game and showed they could hang in there with them. Losing to USC by a few points is sure a heck of a lot more impressive than beating Notre Dame by a few. I'm not a fan of the big 10...

They played a tough game---more importantly, they beat the spread!:D It's been a long stretch since any of em beat USC (Penn State back in 96), but it'll happen again.

$1.30 per mile when you are supplying power only doesn't sound so terrible.

Go Rockets! :D Fingers crossed for pulling an upset on the Buckeyes. Okay, I know that's crazy talk, but they beat U of M last year.

I think Dieter Zetsche (former head of Daimler) hit it on the head a few years back when the Ford and GM started offering long no interest loans to boost sales. He said something along the lines of "they are mortgaging their future sales. There are only so many people at any given time that...

I think the real question is: At the end of the day, is he better off where is he's at now?

Okay--I was bored and playing around on the FMCSA website and came across proposed changes to the scoring methodology. In the "CSA 2010--Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010" document, there is a scoring section for Driver Fitness. One of the penalties listed is section 391.11b2 "Non-english...

Nice photos Jack! We were heading south over the bridge a few months ago and had to do a chinese fire drill out in the middle (wife was driving and got sick). Fortunately didn't hold traffic up too bad. When I stepped down out of the passenger side you could see right down through the metal...

snopes.com: Handgun Safety and Registration Act Snopes has the claims in that email listed as FALSE

Disappointed (not surprised) to find nothing new in the speech. The shout of "You Lie" was amusing, but uncalled for. Just as bad as Obama's ridicule of the Bush administration after taking office.

I'd rather hear it from him firsthand and come up with my own opinion. Trusting the political pundits seems like just a different flavor of Koolaid dontya know.

Yeah--but this time I'm afraid to hear "the rest of the story.":D

East Germany had the Staatsicherheitsdienst or Stasi for short. Program that neighbors spying on and reporting each other. I was reminded of that when I read of the "flag" email set up by the White House.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have never owned, fired, or thought about firing a hand gun. I've hunted a little and have rifles, but no handguns. I like the idea of the bedside gunsafe as well as the flashlight. Greg--to your point, we live in what I think is probably considered one...

Obama Jugend! Jeder Zeit fuer den Krieg bereit! Win over the hearts and minds of the nations youth. Appeal to their idealism and prey on their naivete. Scare and intimidate the elderly by threatening their fixed incomes and medical access. Create distractions for the rest of the...

:) We should get a dog and she always locks up at night---I know for the most part it's common sense stuff. It's just unnerving to have it happen so close. Nobody was hurt next door---they didn't even wake up until they heard the burglar (s) close the door on their way out!:eek: They made...
