    Obviously deportation doesn't work.

    If he keeps coming back, he will eventually get his benefits, ,free education, and free healthcare

    sad sad day

    She will be a formidable candidate because we are dealing with a ill informed electorate. They just want the first woman president. My personal opinion is "just say no".

    NAFTA? Where'd it go?

    The auto freight is still there. Only difference is that much of the parts that came out of Canada, now comes from Mexico. Border towns like Laredo are still pretty busy. From a labor standpoint, you can get two employees instead of one.

    Welfare reform in Maine

    I would agree with what is mentioned. The typical business doesn't plan to fail but external changes often are the reason. Could be competition, change is state or local tax structure, demographics change, all the way to lease issues. Many of these type of stores actually lease the location. So...

    Welfare reform in Maine

    I think it is just liberal spin that people eat up on business. It is true they are closing 200 under performing stores. What they leave out is they are opening 200 stores in better areas. Good grief...

    Welfare reform in Maine

    Whether a business received money or not has nothing to do with personal responsibility as I see it.

    Welfare reform in Maine

    Seems pretty simple. Provide assistance for a prescribed period of time if they aren't disabled, and then cut it off. If a family member decides to volunteer their money or resources, nothing wrong with that. They are volunteering. That is different than mandating someone else pay for it. That...

    Welfare reform in Maine

    Welfare has its place but it should have limits on it. As mentioned, shouldn't be a career path. Corporate welfare exists and it should be contained but entitlements/benefits is the largest part of government expense. Either control it now, or someone else will be controlling since we are...

    100% FSC, Really?

    Have to make sure you are looking at the whole picture. It is the total rate for ALL miles. If a company is paying DH, relocation money, layover, detention, all of those things have to be factored. Some essentially use the FSC for those so it is a matter of, are you in the same place? Maybe...

    whats panthers current fuel surcharge?

    That "B" unit rate is for a straight that can only haul 5k or less. They are not talking about vans or sprinters.

    It's About Time...

    While Fox News has its faults, I don't think I would compare the Rolling Stone mess to "it happens all the time at Fox". Just not seeing it.

    "I'm entitled to my beliefs, so you're required to be ruled by them"

    I wonder how some would square this topic with the Supreme Court ruling on Hobby Lobby vs Ocare?

    whats panthers current fuel surcharge?

    They pay by the mile but someone else will have to chime in on what the rates are.

    100% FSC, Really?

    Not all, but most carriers skim the FSC. Usually one of three ways or a combination of all three. Carrier gets a kickback from the fuel provider. Can be quite substantial. Use a flat rate and pocket the difference. Often that is where DH and relocation money comes from. Use DOE as a base but...

    Best used semi truck for 15-25k?

    I would agree in that price range, you are looking to gamble. Odds may be better in Vegas? On that age vehicle, you will at a minimum need 10k in quick access cash. Why? One major tow bill and repair could easily burn that up. If running the US, no guarantee that breakdown will happen close to...

    What would rather have?

    I would have to go "comfort" since the wife would be coming along. Could be rough if it was just limited to the other two. :)

    The State of Hate

    With all the issues going on at the state level, I not following why they are even spending time on this? Too many other things to worry about.

    Conservatives will have a candidate in 2016.

    Lot of money in the "green business". Why do you think Al Gore jumped into it? I did say Republicans got money from the banks, but a greater number of those dollars goes to democrats. Talk about hypocrisy. Just ask Hillary who recently got 300k for a half hour speech from Goldmans. As for...

    Conservatives will have a candidate in 2016.

    I think if one is honest and really looks at the current problems, both parties are to blame. I would hardly call it a problem of only Republican makings. Obama had full control for two years with a Democrat Congress and accomplished nothing but run up the debt. Of course Bush drug us into a war...
