    What Happened?

    What Happened?? Greedy politicians (republicans and democrats alike) that feel no responsibility to anyone but themselves to get re-elected and a welfare nation that depends on and votes for those politicians. Katrina is a perfect example. Do you think the govt. would have been responsible for...

    Is it really slow right now?

    I did three local runs the week between Christmas and New Years day. I left New Years day on a run and ran hard until the 11th, deadheaded home and was out of hours, took 4 days off and back in service tomorrow. Been good for me so far and can only hope it continues.

    Dale Jr. getting the boot ?

    I wasn't a Dale sr. fan mainly because everyone else was. I always pulled for Bill Elliot but did respect Seniors talent. That said, I didn't just automatically become a Junior fan by default. In fact I really didn't like him. However, over the last year watching him and listening to his...

    Buffet's

    Sorry for going off... I have to admit I am an online poker junkie. I play small stakes usually and tournaments. I put $25 in last August and have been playing on that since. I do win quite often so it would not last long if you didn't obviously. As Larry said Civilization is a great game...

    ATeam, As I have said before, teams, and even more so, white glove teams, have absolutely no clue, I AM GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN, NO FREAKING CLUE what it is like to be a solo driver in an Express truck. We are all thrilled that the white glove elitists are too busy to get any rest. The rest of...

    Healthcare

    Yes, come here and work. I am sure they do work that otherwise would not get done, but do it legally and if you bring your family with you then teach them the language that has been native to this land for 200 + years. The Italian, Polish, Greeks and all the rest that came here in the 20th...

I passed of got passed by at least 8 on I 40 from Nashville to Little Rock on Saturday. If we had a common channel I would leave it on that all the...

    I read as much of Chucks post as I could stomach so I may have missed it. I have no idea what a DAC is. I'm thinking the fact I don't know is probobly a good thing but my curiosity has the best of me.

    YOU HAVE TO QUIT EXPEDITING - WHAT WILL YOU DO ??

    RE: YOU HAVE TO QUIT EXPEDITING - WHAT WILL YOU DO Terry's and the other responses were correct to a degree. The water department takes care of residential devices but businesses are responsible for thier test. Most businesses will have three devices, one for potable water, fire or sprinkler...

    New Ohio Ban on Smoking

    There are exceptions to every generalization. The majority of OTR drivers I am exposed to at truckstops, pick ups and deliveries are not people I would invite to my house for dinner. The expedite world seems to attract a different person. Does that mean we are "better"? No, just different or...
