    Jayman... I like the words of just a dumb expeditor. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask your government "What the hell are you doing TO us???" Or better yet, the words of a wise bumper sticker: "I love my country, but fear my government!" ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely...

    Convoy

    I wouldn't. The same idiots who deemed good buddy to mean gay, and cowboy hats to be Brokeback will likely consider you "funny". The old days are gone, and the new puppy mill drivers don't have a clue what nostalgia is. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Convoy

    On the contrary, I think everything has changed. Before anybody could just get a cdl and go, it was a TRUE brotherhood. The cb was your entertainment and news. Truckers worked together to get what they wanted. They had their own colorful language, unlike ebonics. I was wrong... one thing hasn't...

    Slow for everyone else ?

    I never turn down a chance for Laredo... unless I know there are 10 company trucks already in TX. I've deadheaded from Dallas to Laredo just on a hunch, and got out the next day. Answering the original question... if I'm posting a lot, it's either slow or I'm at home (which the woman hates that...

    A trucking brotherhood, you’re joking?

    I don't think the brotherhood is dead, but it is dying. I've helped, and have been helped by many big trucks. I've had a 53'er pull in awkwardly and partially block the main lane at the truckstop so they could give me a jump. I got a free jump from a tire guy on call, then lent my cables to...

    Slow for everyone else ?

    Laredo is like Atlanta... hot, then dead, then hot again. It cycles several times a year. The reason Laredo is hell is cause it's 800 miles to another freight zone when it is dead. That's why freight goes for so little there sometimes. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't...

    About national Healthcare

    Ontatio... I can see a lot of those numbers on the American side coming from the "ignorant class". Not to be confused with the lower class, the ignorant class may or may not have the means to pay for anything, they just choose not to pay attention to reality. Usually a case of "my bling is...

    Misconceptions in truckin

    If I could find enough minis around Detroit, that would be exactly what I want. I'm sure Panther has enough minis around Detroit, Chicago, and Nashville to keep more than a few drivers happy. However, they think they have to "spread the wealth". HAHAHA I kill me! TOOT TOOT :7 Race... believe it...

    Watch when they claim they are Christian owners

    RE: Watch when they claim they are Christian owner I'm also a driver, but I like the truck I drive to be in running order. With that, I need to get the truck in if something starts going, like a transmission and AN INJECTOR (ARE YOU LISTENING, BILL???). Things don't fix themselves. And I am the...

    Top 100 Most Influential Americans List

    Baseball was huge around Babe's time, which made him larger than life. He wasn't vocal outside of the sport, except when it came to kids he visited in the hospital. Ali, besides his war opposition, was just as big in boxing as Babe was in baseball. But because baseball was a way of life... go to...

    Misconceptions in truckin

    What you say is true, for the bigger companies. However, the smaller companies usually have a set price per mile, with FSC included in the price. And their customers are, more often than not, other expediting companies. When you have dispatch looking for particular loads, they can pick and...

    Cherry Pickin

    Well, Leo... since I started with my small company, my avg miles per run has almost doubled since I was with Panther. And that's solo now vs being team with Panther. The bigger companies are nice if you like a small run per day, so you can hightail it to the truckstop to get your zzzs. Most of...

    Top 100 Most Influential Americans List

    A couple are missing. Where's Mohammed Ali? Jack Johnson, the first black heavy weight champ, caused the country to search for a "Great White Hope" for the better part of a decade. I still think he could've laid out Ali or Tyson in their prime. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means...

    Top 100 Most Influential Americans List

    I agree about Walton and Gates. They should be higher. I was thinking the other day about inventors. In essence, they happened to be the first to discover something. It's only a matter of time before someone else would've come up with the same idea, or something similar. Bell was in competition...

    RE: ¿Querría cualquiera clases de español libre I like Larry the Cable Guy's idea: Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Spanish. How about a button to press to learn English??? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas
