    Conservatives will have a candidate in 2016.

    I don't think Warren has much chance either. She doesn't want the job either which is a good thing.

    Driver Cams?

    I think that is where the disconnect may come in. Using it on employees is a little different than independent contractors. I do see advantages and disadvantages. A possible compromise if for insurance/liability only, would be to have on facing forward but not at the driver. A owner operator...

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    There is no question about it. How often does the Attorney General rush to a crime scene?

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    That I agree with. There is no question that the department has issues. Whether Wilson was guilty or innocent is a different issue than all the problems their department have.

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    Umm, maybe. They made such a rush to get there just to find something and what they found was much different. They wanted to find anything, not just a civil rights violation. They did find departmental issues but nothing with this specific officer. It does come down to whether they can "prove"...

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    Not so sure on the state, but the DOJ went in looking for anything. Bottom line, they didn't find enough to prosecute. Doesn't mean there isn't racial problems within the police department, but the results of them not arresting the officer speaks volumes.

    It isn't censorship

    Wow, too bad. She has every right to protest it and they have every right to show it.

    Questions in the grand scheme of things…Part 1

    Just a quick take. Is it net income? Probably the biggest factor. If someone is splitting and saving the free Pilot hot dogs, net income would be the first thing. I read a article recently that surveyed existing drivers, and the number one item was respect from the carrier. I believe John...

    Moving up...

    Just straights at the moment. We have consider tractors again but many of the folks running them jump quite a bit from company to company looking for a greener pasture. I think if I did it again, it would be specialized dedicated running. With the nature of expediting, one or two bad weeks, and...

    Questions in the grand scheme of things…Part 1

    I don't really have a answer on vans, but with straights and tractors, the driver makes more than the fleet owner when looking at a individual truck. The fleet owner generally makes the money on volume. Multiple trucks if you will. Ownership by individuals use to be high but that is changing...

    Rightwing on the defensive in final week of Israeli election campaign

    He probably better start worrying. At last check he is trailing in that election.

    Questions in the grand scheme of things…Part 1

    Everything is directly tied to the rate. If a carrier is going to pay a fast food rate, that is likely the crowd they will attract. Vans by their very nature as mentioned require little skill. When that happens you are dealing with a more transient crowd. In that crowd you have retired folks...

    What would cause this?

    Probably too much weight. Good for some vanners to watch. Could also be a bad axle, wheel bearing and such. Which usually go bad from poor maintenance or carrying too much weight.

    When you see that kind of balance, that is when you have a problem.

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    That is probably true to some degree but if there is a racial component, that is a separate issue. Why? Because if it is just revenue, logic would pursue the white crowd under the premise they have more money. Of course if things are too trumped up, many might have the resources to fight it...

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    After reading all this, one thing is for certain. Their court system needs some oversight and they need to get cameras on the cops. Not a complete fix but it should straighten out some of the issues they are having.
