What's a drone box?

Regardless of the industry, that's the hurdle. Very few Tiffany's or Lexus. I paid 39 bucks at Target for a microwave yesterday, but don't mind bashing company's that take their job oversea's. I'm the problem and the solution.

The airports have booths set up for those who want to pass out literature. Certainly an option for the park service.

I haven't kicked a puppy today, but it's early. My only agenda on this forum is to learn about the expediting business. I look forward to reading the posts each day, it's almost become a hobby. My interest in Panther, prior to this thread, was as a prospective carrier. That hasn't changed...

Panther’s definition of Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment follows verbatim from their statements. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards...

Turtle, I applied myself to reading the 200 page statement and applying my superficial skills to the analysis of both their financial statements and various notes. My conclusion still stands. Bleeding is a pejorative term, but accurate nonetheless. I found the following in their statement...

It's cheaper to sit, shoot, then write speeding tickets. Here in Houston the PD sits under the over passes and writes tickets for seat belts, inspection stickers and registrations to vehicles using the U-Turn lanes. It's not about safety, it's taxation by citation.

Take a few minutes to watch the first segment of an interview of Dr. John Eastman. The website also has an interesting discussion on original intent including Supreme Court rulings. Page 1 of videos on The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution - Fourteenth Amendment - anchor babies...

When you're calculating cost per mile are you assuming say 10,000 miles per month and using that to establish break even?

The list is predominantly markets where housing prices were hardest hit by the recession. Detroit? Really?

I agree completely. Robotic technology, virtually anything that must be done more than once can be mechanized. Nanotechnology, the ability to create assemblies on a sub atomic level. Just like the Jetson's and Star Trek. What are we going to do to entertain ourselves, we all can't explore new...

Drone aircraft, cruise missiles, Metal Storm, stealth technology, satellite based weapon systems. Desert Storm proved the fallacy of large bodies of armored, or air supported infantry having a significant impact on the modern battlefield. Carriers are projectors of power, but are just 1 arrow...

The Brit's learned in the Falkland Islands that surface vessels are susceptible to missiles. FWIW, one of the last tests of SDI was launched from a ship in the Pacific. The idea that sinking an aircraft carrier somehow shifts the balance of power in the Pacific US doesn't make much sense...
