I need some advice. In December my wife and I will have been married for three years. I know that doesn't seem like much for some, but we have been through a lot in the past 3 year. More than I have space to get into here. It seems that almost everything that could have happened has happened...

I bet Wichita for a D unit is like that Mississippi gumbo mud was for me in that loaded Peterbilt hauling rice off the farm a few years back. You go to get in it to get the job done, and once you get there you're going to be there for a minute. I just don't think a big John Deere tractor will do...

What you are saying is basicly what I was taught growing up. Everyone makes mistakes. An adult admits to their mistakes, and tries to fix their. A child tries to cover them up. So I guess Congress is basicly a rich kid's junior high?

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. I think everyone knows that will some people will pass on maintenance if there are no checks in place. Heck, some do it even with the checks in place. Whether you were referring to me or not it doesn't matter. I wasn't downing a certain carrier, I was...

Well a lot of times when people say courier they are talking about short hauls between an airport and consignee or shipper and consignee. Some couriers deliver legal documents and such that can't be sent electronicly and the customer doesn't want to send them through the postal service. On the...

Whoever it was they were blaming it on his Ambein sleep aide medication. I never knew they sold Ambein in glass bottles, in liquid form,and with Jack Daniels labels at the Liquor Store. I guess you learn something new everyday. :)

I'm still not convienced that the Canididates themselves actually pick thier running mates. If you ask me the powers that be are the ones that make those choices. Those power brokers are obviously smart enough to stay out of the spot light so don't you think they would be smart enough to not...

The way the temps were a couple weeks ago I thought we were in Global Cooling. The deer were really out at dusk were they hadn't been so much because of the higher temps. I like reading, studying, and learning, but sometimes you can learn alot just by being open to the world around you.

I think the companies have to require some sort of inspection regardless of what type of equipment it is. If not there would be more junk on the road than there is now. Personally if I ran a company whether a vehicle stayed in the fleet would be on a case by case basis. If it was older, but...

I thought Teddy got in trouble a couple of years ago when he was out driving at 2 am and he hit a jersey wall near the Capital. Something about he was high on Ambein. Then you have the Congresswoman from CA, also a Democrat, that assualted a police officer near the Capital building because he...

If someone wanted to start a courier service would they need a DOT authority? I've been looking at the FMCSA website and I can't find anything on the subject. I would most likely be using my Dodge Dakota Sport which is no where near heavy enough to be considered a Commercial Vehicle. Maybe...

That is just plain sad. I figured Teddy Kennedy's name would be on that list somewhere, but I didn't see it.

We have a bunch of evacuees here in town. A few of the churches have been feeding them free hot meals. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer to see churches and civic groups help people more than I do just the government. Mainly because I feel churches and civic groups can do it cheaper than the...

I think Global Warming is a bunch of bs. Last month we had one week where the temps. were in the 70s in south Arkansas. It's usually pushing 100 that time of year. During the first quarter of the year we got snowed and iced on 4 or 5 times which is very rare. We tend to get it about once a year...

I don't know if you realize this or not, but 90% of the "Ban the Van" talk is a joke. The person who coined the phrase is a Van O/O himself, so I seriously doubt he wants to see the van banned. I think he just wants to have a good time and poke a little fun.

Unemployment rates don't really mean much to me anymore. You can go up to Michigan and hear guys crying about not being able to find work. Then ask them if they have any welding experience and one or two will say yes they have worked for x amount of years as a welder. Then you tell them there...

I somewhat agree there. It would rid the industry of alot of the people that just want to be out on the road. At the same time it would free up some freight for those that needed to be out there. If someone was going to try and get someone off the road I think you should try and get rid the ones...

The reason they have such a hard time keeping good help is because of what they pay. They don't pay squat. My sister and brother in law live right up the road in Ashdown, AR. Pretty much anyone that can pass a drug test can get a decent paying job at the Domtar paper mill. I think my brother in...

What I think is so funny is McCain said they were going to distort it. They must really be worried about getting beat to keep on the same thing. Although all politicians in any race have been guilty of this I'm sure.

I'm with you on this one Pelican and Broom. it is much easier to back and drive a straight truck all day. So what if the rules are the same? The rules are the same on a lot of things. I've been in both places and a t/t takes it out of you quicker than a straight does, imo.
