My wife, like many folks, is part native american (1/8 Delaware and 1/16 Cherokee). Whenever her family talks about Indians, it's either "with a dot" or "with a feather" for clarification. I get sick of the race card getting played. Can't we all just hate him cuz he's from Chicago and...

Was out fishing yesterday evening--just your standard bobber and crawler. My bobber went down fast and I pulled back. Thought I had a monster fish on the line--turned out to be a muskrat!:eek: When I got it up close enough to determine that's what it was (6-8feet away); the line broke...

The ones they have right over the bridge there for the tourists are garbage---I'd take a pot pie over those ones. I've gotten good ones further in at local diners. It's been a couple of years, but there was a place outside Munising that has good ones.

I came across a logistics company today out of Chicago called Echo. On their website, it states that they do expedite and that they will deal with individual owner-operators. Ever heard of em? Echo Global Logistics

Pasties---just can't get good ones around here. My Grandma was from overto Wakefield and made da best ones. She used Rutabagas instead of potatoes and usually mixed in venison and ground pork sausage. Definitely no gravy---gotta have the catsup though.

Could be----I talked to someone over there and was told that, but it was before Landstar bought them out. Could be a different story now.

I think you're right OVM. Alll Cash4Clunkers will have done is gotten people to move up their timeline on that new car purchase. Essentially, borrowing from the sales of the next few months. Still---it's nice to see some uptick in volume, however short lived it might be.

Not really any surprise is it? From USA Today Comparing presidents Obama will have done 124 print, broadcast and radio interviews by day's end on Sunday, according to a tally by Martha Joynt Kumar, a political scientist at Towson University in Maryland. George W. Bush did 40 and Bill...

They won't deal with an individual driver--ya have to be signed on with a carrier that has at least 10 to 15 trucks.

At the rate we're going, our economy will be on par with our southern neighbors in no time. Soon you may hear them complaining about Americans sneaking across the border. Maybe that's why they want to scrap the fence!

LOL Must have been a local channel, eh Greg? Try picking up one of the Toledo stations! Harper would make a better President than Obama, but then again, so would a host of other people that were born right here.

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...
