Umm... their employees can get injured lifting people out of wheel chairs. There's always a chance for injury on the job. That is a lame excuse they gave... and one that won't hold up in court when they get sued out of a job.

That's what I see as a problem with the FMCSA "one size fits all" mentality. Straights and T/Ts are two different beasts, yet have the same rules. Different sectors of the industry have different needs, yet get the same rules. Bus drivers get different rules. Oil riggers too. Other than those...

Lately? As long as I've been driving, truckers have been on the trashier side of humanity. Have you been to Detroit lately? I'm guilty of breaking a few of those from time to time. Belching at the dining room table doesn't help. Now, our whole family does it. LOL But for the most part, I...

I can tell you how I felt, after I walked the walk. It felt good to have the power, when dealing with a LEO. To know that they can't do anything unless you give them cause or permission, I felt like a human being talking to other human beings. I felt on level with them. My confidence will be...

I know I use semi-colons and commas incorrectly, sometimes. I'm not saying I'm perfect. But I like seeing that someone else gives a crap to attempt to keep standards higher than where they are. I know that grammar, words, rules change. I'm not at odds with that, as long as the standards don't...

Grammar is one of those standards that keep us a 1st world nation. When you lower your standards, by supporting crappy education, allowing 3rd world invaders in, and not holding people accountable, pretty soon, we'll be another 3rd world country. Grammar, logic, manners, cleanliness, politeness...

If I got wokman's comp, I'd make even more oriental food!

"A 911 dispatcher pleaded with a nurse at a Bakersfield, Calif., senior living facility to save the life of an elderly woman by giving her CPR, but the nurse said policy did not allow her to, according to a newly released audiotape of the call." She knew CPR. Just didn't give a damm enough to...

Not a heck of a lot of choices up that way. You have the TA in Greenland, the Pilot in Sturbridge, Mr Mike's, and there's Flynn's in Shrewbury. Also, you could head down to Springfield, which would put you smack dab in the middle of NE. But Mr Mike's is my place if you have to idle, or want some...

I get all that. I'm talking about getting people to listen to us. How many people will actually listen to a libertarian? Ron Paul was their best at getting people to listen. He was frank, but not in your face; calm, and not condescending. If you look at the Freemen videos on youtube, you'll see...

Regardless of how long you've been with a company, or how much you love it, there should always be a life boat waiting, just in case. In a situation like this (or like ConWay), you want to be the FIRST gone, ahead of the pack of distressed contractors looking for anyone who will take them on.

I didn't know that. Thanks! I even used it in my last paragraph. :)

I couldn't blame him.

"Drivers? We don't need no stinkin' drivers."

Watch vikings AND zombies... 13th Warrior!

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at...

Perfect timing then. Walking Dead is on in a half hour.

Have to agree with AMonger. If you talk to law enforcement, about anything, you are waving your rights. If you slip, and admit to something illegal, they have a duty to arrest you. While, if you keep your trap shut, and don't say anything, they have nada. Similar to my ordeal. The DEA wanted to...

Yeah, but I would sure like to try those 11 herbs and spices on some pork loin. I believe the Colonel's secret recipe would make some awesome tonkatsu! BTW... KFC tastes different from when I was a kid. They had a different "herb" in there, back then. My guess, something illegal... like "herb"...
