    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Please share this info. It would be interesting to see another side because I have never seen any statistics or studies showing anything different.

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    There are a few reasons for it and I think it's a combination of theories and not just as simple as saying it's socio-economic or it's an acceptance of a violent culture. The claim was made that facts don't support that blacks don't disproportionately commit violent crime but the facts clearly...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    The facts support that blacks are involved in a disproportionate amount of crime. I have never seen a single report from anywhere that shows blacks making up 13% of the US population were only responsible for 13% of the violent crime. In fact from 1980-2008 they were responsible for 52.5% of...

    Buying trucks on Ryder ..

    The way to work with Ryder on used trucks is to shop somewhere else. They are way overpriced and you can do much better looking at another dealership.

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Under funded companies are a plague on the freight industry. It doesn't matter if it's on the broker or trucking side.

    The media send reporters out to be used like those whacky waving arm guys at a used car dealership.

    Tax Deduction Question

    Basically it's based on you getting a hotel room that is reasonable for being work related. If you get a room at the Motel 6 in BFE, Nebraska then it's deductible. If you book the penthouse at Trump Towers for a week then it's viewed as a vacation or not ordinary. A hotel room is viewed as a...

    Best used semi truck for 15-25k?

    The whole idea of owning 2 trucks so that one can pay for repairs has been a method that bankrupted more than a few. What happens when you buy the new truck and it breaks down followed promptly by a massive repair on the truck that you have now? You should really slow down and get focused on one...

    Best used semi truck for 15-25k?

    Too bad someone didn't warn you before. ;) Expect it to continue until you can get the bugs worked out from sitting and whatever the previous owner didn't want to fix. Hopefully the next repair is cheaper and is further down the road until you can build up more capital.

    The other prisoner might have heard him getting bounced around or falling out of the seat. We really just need to see what the medical examiner says at this point.

    Solo or Teamed?

    That makes sense. I didn't know if anyone had figures. For instance if as a solo you can earn $35k or you team and make $40k it seems like going solo might be worth the $5k for comfort and the ability to sleep without bouncing down the road. If it's a $15k difference then that could be a...

    What do a small fraction of cases have to do with anything? Talk about a straw man argument.

    Solo or Teamed?

    Have you guys really looked at the difference in profitability between solo and team and compared the lifestyle? Is it a $5k yearly difference for each individual where it might be worth it for some to solo?

    bunk conversion

    Time to find a better place to get a fully loaded Sprinter or not set the thing up like an RV. Sleepers are relatively easy to set up and do on your own so it shouldn't be anywhere near the cost of a straight truck.
