    CIA Workers Killed in Afghanistan as U.S. Steps Up Spying Role

    I find it interesting that the sources of information are former this or former that, speaking about a real time issue. I would venture a guess that this individual that blew himself up was known to the people that let him through, familiarity being the gateway. What we are told or what is...

    CIA Workers Killed in Afghanistan as U.S. Steps Up Spying Role

    Just an observation from a casual observer... There are a great number of individuals that perform tasks in or for the Military Services with no practical knowledge prior to training.

    What doyou think Expediting will be like in 2010?

    The fallacy of forecasting is that it is difficult to drill deep enough to provide sufficient analysis. Miss one factor and the results are worthless. The two most often overlooked factors are seasonality and month over month vs. year over year comparatives. Excel is great for being able to...

    Wingnut The post originated because a driver left a company in the lurch the same way he left a previous company...So per your statement, that would have been a known fact, but apparently it wasn't. My point is that we are attempting to mitigate liability, costs and become more efficient. You...

    Driver Referances

    Wingnut If the back ground checks were as thorough as you state, why are we having this discussion? The reason is that there are issues or behaviors that were not uncovered, and as fleet owners, this remains an issue for all of you. If the investigation performed by the Big Guys does not...

    As a business man, I am 100% responsible for the success of my new-hires. This includes a number of things: Did I perform a proper and thorough back ground on them to include talking to previous employers? Did I over promise and under deliver on their potential success or failure? Being fully...

    Mid-Atlantic Snow this weekend

    Depending on the local station, they either won't commit or are stating anywhere from 8" to 2', and the most significant snowfall in 20 years. The issue is that this area has so many transients that don't know how to drive in snow. It is a rule around here that if you have a 4 wheel drive, you...

    Remember laying in bed at night in the summer, too hot to sleep and no air conditioning, hearing the frogs and crickets so loud you couldn't sleep and slowly going up and down the AM dial of the clock radio trying to see how many far away places you could tune in? Remember having to jam...

    Tiger Woods mauled by mate??

    They will not speak publicly because anything that breaks the "Morals Clause" of his endorsement agreements could potentially cost him millions. None of us mortals, were we to get in the same predicament, would have the same exposure.
