    Senate candidate fights driver's licensing

    Really? Maybe we need to have a discussion of what we need to do to restore those rights we lost. In the sense of slavery, there is no comparison unless we have a frank and truthful discussion about it in the context of the times.

    1099 misc from lrt

    Ok here is the thing, you can use a estimate of your pay, but document you not getting a 1099. Do the taxes as if you got one. If there is a large number of people not getting their 1099, it will trigger an audit.

    Obama's War On The Catholic Church

    Sometimes it just gets silly. As I listened to a great mind on her talk show talk to one of the Senators, both seem to think that this is an attack on the church and a violation of the 1st amendment. BUT this morning I was reminded of something, the ist amendment doesn't cover religuious end...

    Fuel may sky rocket

    I just see this as another shakeout of marginal players. Like the last time fuel hit record highs, a lot of people left the industry and there were a few crying about the losses of carriers that the industry incurred, The good thing with reducing the ranks means for those who stick it out (or...

    Writing an article is like describing how vanilla tastes to a rock, you have to attend.

    A&E shipping wars LOL

    I don't know if anyone watched that comedy show - Gold Rush? if you have, maybe you noticed that they all got inspected one day out of the blue? I expect those who are watching the show and maybe in charge of some DOT officers will tell their people to look for them and really give a good...

    Fuel may sky rocket

    Don't think we are going to go to war with Iran, it may be a very short war, they will most likely unleash more problems for us than we can for them. BUT I already paid $5 plus a gallon a bunch of times and survived so I don't think it's going to stop some of us.

    Jimmy Carter Redux - Obama Leads from Behind, Middle East Implodes

    Thank Reagan and Carter for this, not Obama. Not that I need to appoligize for the guy, he doesn't seem to know what to make of it, but the facts bare out another reality - we don't need to be part of nation building when we already have no respect from most of the middle east, including our top...

    Arizona Supreme Court Bars Candidate from running...

    Its not a case of discrimination but it is a case that there is a standard that does not really fit the needs of the voters of that district. If she appeals to a group and speaks enough english to get by, then languge is not an issue, be it the the groups language is spanish, polish or arabic...

    who all shows a loss on 1099 income

    It does not matter if you use a trucking accountant or someone who knows business taxpreping at this point. Even Turbotax will help you straighten out the mess. You need to understand the difference between using the vehicle for business and pleasure, in any case, if the van is used for this...

    Finally! A presidential candidate we can ALL agree on!

    Well she may do well enough to throw the election, I think she should name Penn as her VP.

    Logging on

    You may have a wait on that one. Like the spell check, my other system with the other browsers have the issue with spell check but this one with the outdated Firefox is working great. I still have that stupid bar at the bottom of the page which takes up screen space and beside the log in...

    Largest sign on Bonus I've ever seen

    Well here is what I'm getting at. The market of drivers/owners seems to be saturated and a lot of bad ones are floating around while they go from one company to another, a company like Panther is going through a lot of them to find people who perform well. The shortcut is the incentive of a...

    truck stop questions

    There are no stupid questions just stupid customers. Ok first there is a myth about freight lanes, many just don't seem to get that this is not mainstream trucking and most of us expediters are dependent on the carriers and not on the customers. Freight comes from three places, one is the...

    E350 & E450 difference

    The frame to start with. Then Axles and then as Chef said GVW. If you are going to go that route, get an E450 with the highest GVW. You are going to log anyway and the long wheelbase will allow you to have a good size sleeper where you can actually move around. I am looking at one right now...

    Mechanic looking for expediter straight truck

    $1000 for a dyno? Must be a east coast fleecing. Dyno cost less than a couple hundred at most. It has to include a blowby test which will tell you the conditions of the cylinders. If the thing produces an average of 65% of the rated HP, then it is a truck that has been used, but you want to...

    When signing bonuses are offered, it seems that it is something to substitute for revenue creation.

    Panetta: Israel May Strike Iran This Spring

    Nope not really, I'll give you a couple, Wounded Knee and Thanh Phong. I know there are a lot more, most of which took place in the last half of the 19th century while some of it took place in the first half of the 20th. Nevertheless, you asked if we did, and yes we did. I do think that...
