    Tolerence or Intolerence....

    This has been a very interesting thread. It went in complete circles getting away from the original subject and exploded into an argument that covered religion, politics and ROE during wartime. One thought I'd like to throw out about the original subject is that there are already several...

    Founders never wanted to block religious expression

    I'd really like to believe that but the history of the last 8 years makes me skeptical.

    Get out of Texas!

    The father will win this one. Remember the case a few years ago where a mother suspected her daughter and boyfriend of being involved in something illegal so she listened in to a phone call between the two on a house extension, in her own home? The daughter sued her for violation of right to...

    60,000 babies of noncitizens get U.S. birthright just in Texas

    Court cases don't define the Amendment, they interpret it. That's how we have come to interpret the Constitution and the Amendments to it by using case law instead of using the Constitution. The 14th Amendment was solely meant to prevent southern States from deporting slaves once slavery was...

    Founders never wanted to block religious expression

    It also needs to be remembered that the 1st Amendment was a restriction on the Federal Government, like all of the Bill of Rights. This did not prevent State Governments from establishing, supporting, or suppressing religions in their respective States, in fact several of the States had State...

    Obama restores rank of disgraced Vietnam general

    Sounds like the plot right out of Flight of the Intruder. Wonder where Coonts got his idea from? (I think I have the right author).

    The federal-government can do most anything in this country

    This is just what our current crop of politicians believe. They would just as soon burn the Constitution as to read it. They do not believe in the American Dream, they believe in personal power. HMMM sounds like a monarchy to me with all the little Dukes and Earls trying to outdo each other...

    The Soak-the-Rich Catch-22

    A couple of things to keep in mind with all this. First very few of the politicians in DC have ever run a business, or had to meet payday deadlines, or even been a manager at a business, they are career politicians, so they have no clue of what it takes to create jobs or produce a product...

    *New Political Party.*

    I agree with you for the most part. The only part I disagree with is the if Democrat vote democrat, if Republican vote republican. That thinking has helped to lead to what we now have in DC. We need to stop voting along party lines and start voting for the best person for the job, that does...

    2 Russian Nuclear Sub's of the East Coast Hmm

    20+ years ago when I was on submarines there would have been a pair of our own fast attack subs heading out to dog them until they left. Not anymore. So far I have heard no response from the White House on this. It's a sad state of affairs we are in now.

    FACING THE STORM

    As a fleet driver we made the decisions on weather. Our owner trusts us to make the loads when we can and to not wreck his truck. Nice thing was that P2 backed us up on our decisions, this was on a load to upstate NY last week during the lake effect around Erie. Load was 10 hours late but...

    Back Office Support ???????

    I had to reply to this thread. Since running with Panther we have hit every border crossing in and out of Ontario and a couple in and out of Quebec. Learning the system doesn't work. The procedure at the borders seems to change with each crossing location and with each shift. Not only that...

    Bear Buster

    Interesting thread. Original subject, radar detectors, easy enough, FMCSA says illegal, well then it's illegal. Circling the number on the ticket to indicate someone was using one being a secret code between the Trooper and the Judge, well don't we in the trucking industry have secret codes...

    Agricultural Stations

    Having grown up in FL I was used to the AG stations, they were on all the highways going in and out of the state. They used to require anyone that had the ability to haul plants or fruits to pull in, pickups, cargo vans, etc.... it didn't matter if they were commercial or not. Wyoming is not...

    Team out of Eastern NC

    We will be at the Mid America Truck Show. We are in a strange situation, we are working the truck show for our company. Like my better half said, we like the company and they have treated us great but they just aren't an team company. I guess the truth of it is that we are basically the...

    Team out of Eastern NC

    Just wondering what the opportunities are for a team out of the coast of NC. Currently we are company drivers OTR but we are curious about expediting and straight trucks. I'm also wondering how the freight is opening up throughtout the rest of the country. In the latest addition of the...

    To Die For!

    This is an interesting thread. I drive t/t OTR for a medium sized general comodities carrier and I've made the same observations that you stated on here. Unfortunately drivers are their own worst enemy. We complain about the way we are treated by the general public but we do nothing to change...

    Pros and cons

    What are the pros and cons of straight truck expediting and van expediting for a husband and wife team? Don't know where I'm going, but there's no use being late.

    Qualcomm technical question

    There should be no problem. Currently I'm driving a KW T-2000 and the QC bubble is mounted under the fiberglass air dam over the sleeper and I have no problem with maintaining a signal. Don't know where I'm going, but there's no sense being late.
