    New Strategy

    One thing my granddaddy always told my was the HOS were first put in place to protect the drivers. See all that went down before things got so screwed up. Now no one is really concerned about safety. The Feds and States make rules and regs that are hard to comply with in hopes of catching you...

    States push laws to require paid sick days

    What I was saying was SSgt never complained about being from Monroe. I wasn't saying you were, just that he didn't. He was proud to be from Monroe.

    Roof top A/C

    I have no issue. Just joking around a little. He said you were a genius on page 1 and I replied saying you were a spelling bee champ. Kinda a pun at the we you are always "tinking" something instead of thinking. Guess it was a bad joke. Sorry.

    Educating Illegal Immigrants

    Well first of all the Mexican government isn't good for it if you ask me. I just don't see it getting paid back. Plus if the laws that are one the books now were getting enforced it would make a big difference. What gets me is when people who are untrained in Immigration, like us, know where...

    Educating Illegal Immigrants

    I don't think anyone could make it to the position you Mother did without a formal education. That's just what I think though.

    I don't know if you noticed, but we also have a border crossings forum here. Some things you maybe wondering about may have already been answered there. Just a thought I would let you know.

    States push laws to require paid sick days

    Actually that TA wasn't at Monroe it was north of Detroit somewhere. At least I think it was a TA. I had a Staff Sergeant when I was in the Marines and he grew up in Monroe. His family did quite well there. His dad owned a d unit or 2 and a jewlery store. I never heard him complaining about his...

    Educating Illegal Immigrants

    I know some people are going to disagree with what I'm about to say and I am prepared for that. I think every American should be able to get a good education if they want one. that's somewhat the case once you get to the college level because one can take loans or whatever they need to do to...

    Random thoughts on Life, Liberty, etc.

    There is only one thing I think land owners should get that others don't. See where I live the land owners' property taxes go to the public school. I feel like if a land owner wants to send their children to a private school they should get some portion of the tax sent to the school for tution...

    A sign of success

    If I had to guess I would say that is pretty much a small RV that can handle 1-2 skids of light freight. You know the drill. As long as the truck pays for itself were happy kind of thing. More power to them is all I can say.

    Random thoughts on Life, Liberty, etc.

    So having the ability to secure financing on a piece of land makes you smart enough to vote? Get real. I know people that own thousands of acres of land and carry a wad of cash big enough to choke a mule and they are dumber than a box of rocks. They just have what they have because daddy or...

    How much money do you make?

    Well the DOT officer's salary is public information. My sister is going to be starting as an elementry school teacher next semester. She said she doesn't mind when people ask how much she will be making because it is public knowledge. Another thing have you ever thought that may be asking...

    States push laws to require paid sick days

    My brother in law drives a school bus to supplement his youth pastor income. The school he works for pays him 50 bucks a day. He only works about 5 hours a day though. So it really isn't bad if it is to supplement something else, but if that is all he and my sister had they would be hurting...

    New annoying ads

    I'll be honest I think the ad Bolt has here is pretty cool. Where the recruiter pops up and is talking to you. I guess it's just me.

    States push laws to require paid sick days

    When I worked for the state we had sick days. I was working in the prison. We never got to use them though. Because we got our overtime paid on a seperate check. We got 4 of these checks every year. One overtime check every 3 months. What the State of Arkansas would do was when you take a sick...

    Expediters part of this year's Great American Trucking Family

    I didn't know that. I read the article and posted what I read. I just thought it was interesting to see expediters winning part of a national competetion. Even though the whole family isn't leased to an expedite company I thought it was EO worthy.

    The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA)

    Well I apologize for getting upset. There is some what of a stigma that goes along with being disabled because so many scam the system. Then they make things hard the ones who are actually disabled. Those that know a little about me know there is very little I wouldn't trade to be back in a...
