    Gay discrimination

    I would like to comment on family disassociation. At Funerals many with unresolved issues, cry the loudest. My Dad and I didn't get along after my teen years, it appeared that no matter what I did wasn't good enough. I was lucky being able to make peace before he passed. Five years ago Dad...

    Marriage is dangerous

    My wife likes to watch those spouse murder shows, which scares the hell out of me. Haha "Behind every broken man is one ticked off woman," author unknown.

    How did you get Started in Expediting ?

    I guess the main reason is my wife retires from the school system in June and this would be the best way for her not to have all day to make honey do list. Just kidding. The real reason is to make a living doing something where I have some element of control. When I was in Information...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    My Mother, Dad, and Aunt, told us about what they had seen first hand. 1. Respectible people they had known that were Jews, disagreed with the Nazis, helped, and even traded with the Jews were dragged out in the street with their families, beaten, arrested or shot. They made everybody watch...

    CRAFTSMAN Hand tools are now China junk.

    Irwin tools have been my favorate brand since 2005, when I was wiring houses. I think they still arevan American company, Rubbermade now ownes them. I think Rubbermade is still American. As I allways say, over seas , manufacturing is a real national security threat. War, acts of God...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    Just before and early WWII, Russia did what they are doing to the Ukraine with Poland and many people were sent to Russian Work Comps in Siberia. My Grand Father was smart enough to move the family out if there. Only when Russia thought of Hitler as a threat they joined the Allies. Before...

    Was planning to call them on monday to see what they offer. My old forwarding coworkes do have some routes they can get me on, but I need the MC#, biggrr vehicle, and insurance to do them. The drawback is that while working there we would be slammed with work, which pittled out and then the...

    I appreciate all the feed back, would rather be steared away from problems than face them. So, now the question is what would be the best way to go about this. I do need a larger vehicle to at least try. The best thing about this forum is that it us full of useful information. Dead head is...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    My question is where is the UN? This is a repeat of history in which the Soviets keep repeating in Eastern Europe. My main worry is that the USA is too dependent on imports and we dont have the capibility to manufacture supplys for the military if needed. Of course, the Humanitarian...

    Thanks for the "heads up," that truck might not be a good fit. My little covered Nissan is good for only really small loads. I may have to go with a regular van and get rid of the Nissan, at least my tools will fit better if this fails. I've got a few contacts in the industry, who have told...

    I believe it has a gvwr 9400, max payload 4300, 5100 curb weight? 10000 max pull weight? These numbers dont look correct to me, I cant see pulling 10000lb trailer and cant find the gcvwr. Of course the scale and the door sticker wil give me the answer. It looks like a black uhaul and that...

    Just getting started and found a great 16' box truck, but it's a1993. The owner races cars and motor cycles. He replaced the motor, rebuilt transmission, overhauled brakes, suspension inspected/bad parts replaced. He installed chrome wheel rims and the truck looks good, just needs the Harley...
