I care. There's just not a whole heck of a lot I can do about.

My apologies if I'm misinterpreting here. I don't like the guy and I hope he gets voted out, but your comment comes off somewhat as a veiled threat. I hope I'm wrong.

To say that he would try and make himself king is just wrong. We all know he would want to be referred to as Chariman, Premier, or Supreme and Benevolent Leader.:D Really though, I don't see him getting another term. I doubt we have to worry about him trying to pull something like that...

In order for you to change someone's mind, you first must ascertain whether they have one in the first place. or Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get ya.

Fred Thompson or Clint Eastwood At least we'd have somebody that could act the part and the last actor we had in the white house worked out okay!

One of my college profs was 10 when the wall went up. Her family left everything behind to get to West Berlin. When the wall first went up, she said parts of it were pretty makeshift. They would use buildings in some sections as part of the wall--brick up the windows,etc. They jumped off of...

Jung seems like a decent outfit from what I have seen/heard about them. Business for most carriers is down the first couple months of the year. I wouldn't base what your whole year will look like on Jan. and Feb.

Surprised they haven't tried to force the sterilization of any undesirables. Barry could easily make the claim that various genetic diseases are too much of a strain on the system. Then declare that being a political conservative is a genetic defect---he could breed out the competition if he...

Bush, Clinton Debate At Radio City in Feb. Could be interesting.....personally, I'd rather see them have a steel cage wrestling match. Bush vs Clinton, Palin vs Pelosi, and Hannity vs Colmes.

ROTFL New lyrics for Whitney Houston: I believe that children are our future Teach them well and let us spend away. Let them see what Barry will decide Give them a false sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be Because the greatest...

Why the need to take the shot at Letz? I know the guy doesn't need me to stick up for him, but what was the point really? It didn't add anything substantive to the article. I'm not trying to get down on ya Chef....I'm just saying that it wasn't needed. 5 yard penalty for unnecessary...

Sad news indeed. I met Paul before on a couple different occasions. He wasn't that old of a guy--was surprised to hear about it. Thanks for letting us know.

75 bucks on automotive loads

I was going to wait for Layout to say it, but here goes: Vote em all out! Witness---I can appreciate you posting those links as a counterpoint. I don't think there is an unbiased news source out there anymore. Normally, I like watching the CBC news to get an outside perspective that...

Another thread out here (something along the lines of Dispatchers say the darndest things) got me thinking: There are great and lousy dispatchers, just the same as any other profession. If you were on the fence about taking a load offer or if it was an offer you might normally turn down...

I was asked once if I had any trouble going over the border (I was going from Cleveland to Flint). Thought maybe she had me confused with somebody else, but nope. The young gal had never been outside of Wayne county.

I'm sure it was good to run into some other drivers from that company. Hopefully, you exchanged contact info to be able to compare notes in the future. If that is the way they run their operation, I wouldn't hold out much hope there. Even if you and a few other drivers raise a stink...

From the Detroit News: Detroit mosque leader killed in FBI raid Detroit mosque leader killed in FBI raid | detnews.com | The Detroit News

Sounds like you're getting hosed there. I've never heard of a carrier not being able to tell you what the load pays. The customer has to provide them with either a vehicle request or with pcs/wt/dims, so dispatch should at the very least be able to tell you if it is a cargo van or straight...

Heading back from Alpena.
