    the real Hillary

    It'll be awhile before they confirm or dispute much of anything. They tend to be rather thorough in their investigations. But yes, the video is there. It can be seen here YouTube - Message from President Clinton It's not really a question of how much of the article/essay is factual, as some of...

    the real Hillary

    Just so you know, though, not a word of that was penned by Dick Morris. Just a cursory glance will tell you the writing style is not that of Dick Morris. Plus, Dick Morris has written very little that wasn't picked up by most all of the major media outlets. He sells. Nary a snippet of any of...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    Gray matter? At Panther? Puhleeze.

    Using Freight Brokers and UShip for back loads.

    Every time you haul cheap freight to cover relocation costs, not only does it keep cheap freight around, it pushes down the other rates, as well. It amazes me how so few people can actually see that. If you take a load to an area where you will likely need a cheap freight backhaul to get out of...

    Are Recruiters Really the Lying Scumbags Drivers Say They Are?

    It's probably just a figure of speech, but since you have used the same exact phrase twice, by quoting yourself, I'm gonna respond to it by saying, I suppose it was real thoughtful of you to go out of your way like that to give them a "chance to respond" to something that they'd be caught...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    Dunno. Make sure you are actually showing a manual First Out on their screens. Oftentimes you have to ask (remind) to make sure they give you one if you have it coming. Call 'em and find out. Then, ask why the other driver got the load and not you. Helps if you know the other van's truck number...

    Next Terrorist Attack

    Wow. First of all, nuclear weapons are offensive weapons, not defensive. They are defensive only with regard to a deterrent against others using them against you. Mutually Assured Destruction, A.K.A. MAD. "If you launch your nuclear missiles at me, I'll launch mine at you, and we'll both be...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    I don't think the IT department at Panther is competent enough to design a Go, No-Go screen. They still haven't been able to figure out how to differentiate between a driver with a perfect record and one that is late every other load.

    Drivers Council Meeting

    "As a first step in the communication process, we are instituting a “Panther q&a” which is a recorded message from the executive team at Panther addressing relevant issues in the expediting environment and answering some of the questions submitted via email by drivers and owners." Silly me for...

    Are Recruiters Really the Lying Scumbags Drivers Say They Are?

    It is kind of bizarre post. And to what end? The better educated and prepared a driver is, the better their recruiter is gonna be. Because, the recruiter will be able to answer specific questions that matter. An uneducated and ill-prepared driver is going to have a bad recruiter, because the...

    Politically Correct Names

    The US was going to have a Miss Ebonics Beauty Pageant, but they finally had to call it off. They couldn't get anyone to be Miss Idaho.

    Drivers Council Meeting

    If the "Q&A Session" that was just posted to the Web site is any indication of what the Driver Council has to deal with, and I think it is, then the Council might as well take up head-banging as a hobby. There were no questions, there were no answers. It is a six minute reading of a prepared...

    Truck Friendly GPS

    An inside source? No, not really. They caught my attention several years ago when they made a big splash about ultra-cheap tracking devices, so cheap (and small) that you could place them in just about everything you own, so that if something got stolen it could quickly and easily be traced. A...

    Truck Friendly GPS

    Teletype's stuff is mostly junk. The software is buggy, the mapping is terrible, and the routing is even worse. They are a small Boston based company that banked highly on people putting GPS tracking units in everything they own, like their laptops in case someone stole it (good idea), or their...

    Maybe all threads should immediately be locked to eliminate the possibility of bashing. No one got bashed. We're all adult children here and we can settle our differences in our own way. It's easy enough to do in this particular thread - he simply got you and hondaking confused - as you two...

    I think (I think) that's the same as Verizon's Mobile Web, a web portal optimized for cell phone use. No fancy pictures, no fancy java scripts, just the simple text. You can buy a data plan from Verizon and hook your phone to the laptop right now. The phone becomes the Aircard. But, if you do...

    Cat Eyes

    Should be no more than about $5 a tire. That's the most I'd pay for the Sprinter or a passenger car. Might be more than that for truck tires, but I'd shop around, 'cause if it's much more than $5 even for a truck tire, they're charging too much (for a passenger, Sprinter, light truck, the...
