    Dallas

    Actually Austin, Memorial Day flood of 1981. But sure is appropriate for what's happening now. May is feast or famine for Texas Rain. Let it rain rain rain. Gotta fill up the aquafer. May is to rain as August is to heat.

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    I will add this. The last steel mill closed in I think it was 2012 or 13. Baltimore has been on top 20 list for places to visit according to the tourist bureau. That brought in big bucks to the city. With the new visitor center at Fort McHenry, the war of 1812 celebration and the tall ship...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    From one of the comments in your link: BillyShields 4/30/2015 5:55 PM EDT "Baltimore hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1967. Four of the last five mayors have been African-Americans. Going back to 1959, seven of the last ten Maryland governors have been Democrats. The third Republican was...

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    If you think that's bad, don't get a room (if you can find a vacancy) anywhere in or within 40 miles of Augusta, GA. during Masters week. A $70 room will cost over $400 per night. The locals get upwards of $10000 per week for their home. The nicer and bigger, $30 to $50k for one week. Add on a...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    The next time anyone is in Baltimore, stop at the TA and park. Then walk up the hill east about 1/2 mile. Our tax dollars at work! (Caution: don't do it at night.) And the city is spending 100 million dollars on the Red Line to transport the residents of this area to downtown that already has a...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Having lived in Baltimore since 2008, the best move we ever made was moving out of the state. Maryland is not a business friendly state. Baltimore is the "burbs" for DC. 63% of the blue collar is black. The state, county and city are predominantly democrate party. All 3 are in financial...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    That's your opinion and I respect it. I believe however they have a moral connection. A confusing moral connection. Too kill or not to kill! Pick one for convenience and the other because it's not right. There in lies the dilemma. When is it ok morally to take a life. I have a hard time...

    Dedication to the 9's

    They still got it. One move was missing tho. Prior to inspection, while in the "Dress right position", they would do a right face then flip the M14 with fixed bayonets to the man behind them. The last man would flip his to the inspector. Then the inspector would flip back while the rest flipped...

    Questions in the grand scheme of things…Part 2

    When I was at one of those carriers, If the rate was on the low end I would ask who the billing customer was. If it was the in house brokerage, more money or no go. Not gonna pay them 30 to 40% + to shuffle paperwork.

    Questions in the grand scheme of things…Part 2

    IMO, it's always about the money. For everyone. The shipper wants to pay less and the o/o wants more and the middle man wants the biggest cut they can get and to get that pay less to the next in line. The higher the percentage of ROI the more the o/o can maintain the vehicle properly and...

    Questions in the grand scheme of things…Part 1

    At Landstar the rates are way above average. For standard freight the rates to the van all in are at a minimum (if accepted) $1.15 and up from there. $1.35 to $1.58 is not uncommon for general freight. When I say general freight, that does not include auto. We don't do it. An A&E or hazmat is...

    $80k for 100k all miles might be doable for some with very limited expenses. $65k, no way fast way to the welfare office. Me, $1.17 for all miles and my DH is higher than normal (kinda like yours prior to CRE). Cause when I get the hankern to go home, I go no matter where I'm at or how far it...
