FIS53, I agree with the problem of today's youth in employment . Look at the attitude of some young drivers coming out of tractor trailer school . But handing out senseless , overly harsh punishment doesn't exactly motivate them . Unless Jack's son had previous problems with the manager we are...

You may have a point but a 3 day suspension seems to indicate a 1 day absence wasn't much of an inconvenience for the employer . Normally , employees will work together to help out good management . The difficulty getting employees to work extra to cover for someone is usually a result of having...

Local report . Whirlpool Suppliers' Future Uncertain - NEWS 25 - WEHT: Evansville, Henderson, Owensboro-

Your son's service will be much appreciated . I hope he takes advantage of further traing benefits available to him . As for Walgreen's I personally moved my prescriptions from there over a year ago when they started using a supplier in India that was recently approved by the FDA . (We have...

Chevy has improved considerably . Ratings | J.D. Power . What I found interesting here is that Hino rated better than Freightliner . Hino is a good truck for what it was designed for but it wasn't engineered for OTR . It's a shame GM discontinued medium duty production . That line was poorly...

My 401K never lost money . It didn't really make anything last year either but it's gaining now . I paid no attention to how much stocks "lost" when the market really fell . Those owning large amounts of stock may have lost earnings but you don't lose anything if you are holding stock . Your...

I wouldn't waste time investing in schooling for a CDL A . There is a huge surplus of CDL A applicants . A Class B with Hazmat will be fine for expediting . If you do go with a CDL A and have the money to invest you might consider getting your own authority with a medium duty truck (used...

Are you saying voters are like O/O's that complain about low rates and surcharges but keep using the same shippers , carriers , and brokers ?

You may not catch hell but anyone following that suggestion sure might .

You may not have to worry about weigh stations but I'd be concerned with LEO's that don't understand what does and doesn't fall under FMCSA regulation . You're correct that you are exempt . In many states more trucks get checked on the road and at rest areas than at weigh stations . When going...

It's very understandable how it could happen without very strong discipline . An outfit takes heavy fire from a village with men being killed and injured and they attack the village to retaliate . The problem is the ones that were firing escaped in tunnels leaving only noncombatants to face the...

You're right . I had it backwards . Thanks for the correction . That's why my truck really needs a speed limiter or I'd be doing 100 m.p.h. thinking I was doing 60 km/h .

Remember the reports of dealerships being closed by GM and Chrysler being Republican supporters ? I wonder who the dealerships with rejected claims supported ? How many think Barry will be reelected ? Will Joe Biden be the next Democratic Presidential candidate ?

He repented because he was caught . If commendable soldiers hadn't taken a stand against his actions he would have done more of the same .

"According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, about 80 percent of clunker claims have been rejected and the rebate payout rate is a mere 3 percent." http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2009/08/24/story5.html?b=1251086400^1969491 'Nuff said .

The Connect is a little light for expedite service . Here's a European test of the Econetic . Ford Transit Econetic review | Road test and facts . The 1097kg payload converts to 2413 lbs. The mpg most likely uses the imperial gallon which is roughly only .82 of an American gallon .

No , the 6.4 will not fit in the E-Series engine compartment . The 6.4 is still a Navistar diesel . Supposedly Ford will be building their own diesel .

Just be careful . It drops back to 55 in urban areas .

We'll let you ride on the shoulder if you take John Kerry , Ted Kennedy , and Barney Frank .
