    My Battle of the Bulge

    Hopefully the spring time helps motivate you and gives you more energy as you enjoy the sun. I always notice a big change as winter ends and spring begins. You can always hold yourself accountable by posting in here every week or even every day about how it is going. You did it once so you know...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    The law of supply and demand applies to wages too. When people in our industry say that people should stop taking cheap freight it's the same principle for hourly workers. That's a really easy way to force wages up without even trying to force the government to step in. The obvious problem much...

    Is it slow all over ???

    I think they might start showing up again as we see more vehicles following a European design. I have seen a few of the old ones that have been restored and they are pretty cool.

    Well, wouldn't you like to one day see a woman president?

    The cabovers are great for newer drivers but no fun in your situation.

    Problems Managing Your VA Benefits? No Guns For You!

    Are you referring to a pension or something else?

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Those guys have shown the way for aspiring musicians. Just claim that you are for the average person and the rubes will throw money at you while you grow your massive multi-million dollar business. I would say that having a net worth of $30 million like Morello or $300 million like Springsteen...

    3 years in prison for driving fatigued

    “The message that is being sent is if you are to kill somebody, do it with a semi-truck and just say you fell asleep, he said." I'm not sure why he would think that the idea would be to say that you fell asleep. The sentence is actually pretty strong given the way many traffic deaths are...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Yeah having an ID is really going to suppress a huge number of votes. :rolleyes: If they can't get a few dollars together for an ID card over the course of a year then they weren't going to be able to afford to vote anyway. How many people don't have a photo ID? They are needed to cash checks...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Yeah she helped energize the fans. I think Romney and McCain lost because they ended up looking like stereotypical old, rich white guys to the left and they looked like a RHINO to the right.

    Speaking of substandard education...

    If the parents did take on the responsibility then there is no need for sex education classes. That is my point. It's the same thing as saying parents should be more involved in their kids education. They should be but they aren't. I understand that parents aren't doing what they should and that...

    Welfare, the next sequel

    She made the current discussion a posters past threads. I addressed it. The endless attacks on religion, CEO's, and conservatives is the exact same thing. I addressed the topic that was brought up by the poster. It was not some random insult. She brought up every post where he was against...

    Welfare, the next sequel

    So you seem to say that you don't bring up things from other threads but then go on to say that you do but you keep it in context? You mean like accusing someone of being prejudice based on previous posts when it had nothing to do with the thread? That's your opinion, but now I know that...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Wouldn't you rather have the guy that is honest about his views upfront instead of changing his opinions depending on which crowd he is talking to? A guy that completely caters to the right will never become president. The move to the left in this country was done slowly and moving things back...

    Welfare, the next sequel

    Yes, and you do that too so again it's following an accepted behavior. The almost exact same words were used by one member as mine. Both my post and the other were directed at the poster but yet we see the difference in response from you. Oddly enough you have a history of defending that same...

    Welfare, the next sequel

    I took that to be the meaning of your original post. I don't believe that you think anyone here would support that particular person's demands but that people don't want to reform the system at all to weed people like that out because it might stop someone else from getting help that really...

    Brokerage credit rating

    I believe it's based on the MC# but if you know of such a broker stay away because they are a danger to your finances. They will have higher expenses because the cost of a bond will be much more for them and they obviously can't manage money so it should be a major red flag.

    Welfare, the next sequel

    I used the opportunity to point out the hypocrisy which addressed the post, not just as a personal attack. Ragman took exception by stating his opinion without attacking the poster but the other post clearly was an attack. You have no problem with the personal attacks on Leo then for what...

    Freightliner business class

    I know Cummins has been having a lot of problems with their newer class 8 truck engines. It's a shame because they used to make one of the best engines. I believe Detroit has done the opposite. If I remember correctly they were known for their older engines running backwards occasionally but...
