This is about RLENT, not about what he said. That is a personal attack. And being on the subject of getting banned for personal attacks from one who has been banned for personal attacks, it was stupid, too. That is just a fact. Asking how stupid is a commonly used expression of incredulity, same...

Phil Robertson suspended from 'Duck Dynasty' | www.ajc.com He also said that black people never felt unhappy about slavery or discrimination, because he worked along side them, and they were always happy. So he knows what they were thinking. And it goes for all black people, not just the ones...

I never thought I'd live to see the day when a fundamentalist Bible thumper is called a "free thinker" whose opinion is "different" - just saying.

Out of bounds. Uncalled for. Unacceptable. Do you think this is in ANY way a legitimate contribution? It's your opinion, yes, but it's also a gratuitous personal attack, for which you have been banned yourself. Really: how stupid are you?!

Now that you clarified, I agree, it shouldn't matter - to anyone else. But you know how people are: if you drive for Swift, you're dumb & inexperienced, JB Hunt: you're a traitor, FedEx, you're 'stuck up', etc. It's all malarkey, but that's what some people "know".

I agree that it doesn't matter what size you drive, but some seem to think that 4 wheels isn't a "real" driver. I left out that I also drove a cargo van, so I know better. I disagree about who you drive for, though, because that matters. A lot.

It probably isn't any help in this case, but a speeding ticket of 1-5 mph is not subject to CSA points, either. I think because the speedometers cannot be guaranteed for accuracy any closer than that.

If one takes 8 hrs in the sleeper, it extends the 14 hr deadline by 8 hrs, at which point one must take the remaining 2 hrs off, then the full 14 is available again. Example: Drive 1000-1400. [4 hrs drive time.] Sleep 1400- 2200. @ 2200, can drive another 7 hrs [until 0500], then need to stop...

The customers keep us confined to a cage in the entryway so we can't. ;)

Yes, we can still do a split sleeper, it's just that the first period has to be 8 [or more] hours, which makes it mostly unworkable. I've done it a few times, but it's ridiculously complicated, and nowhere near as useful as it was when we could take 2 hours and stop the [&#$!$@] 14 hour clock...

Actually, the s/t is a downsize - I drove t/t first. JIT is not what Deming's system was about - that's just one misconception that was expounded upon already. Deming's system was about producing highest quality [whatever the product] every single time, without wasted time, money, or motions...

I do believe Mr Shooter is ignoring my request for an explanation of his comments. Bad idea. Ironic, given that about 80% of his 28000+ [!] posts are about what everyone from public officials to the kid next door SHOULD DO! but when his own behavior is questioned? Silence. Doubly ironic, in...

C-F make the call to "Put Christ back [or keep him in] Christmas" pretty odd, when you know he actually wasn't in it to begin with. Same goes for Easter and Halloween: pagan traditions taken over by the Christians, who basically lied to persuade people to convert. Reverend Mather spoke the...

You can have mine! I'm going to be home for Christmas, and in our family, only the people get pickled. ;)

I'm sure they didn't realize it was still in progress - it's hard to know when the last crash has happened, and finding injured people was probably their first priority. Did the first big truck [not WalMart] get hit? It 's hard to see - but if he didn't, that makes it all 4 wheelers involved...

Hey - I was attracted to the 'lifestyle' 10 years ago, and I'm still here! Course, I was driving a t/t then.... If you feel bored or inactive, that's a choice you made, because there's a lot you could be doing instead. I listen to audiobooks [anything from Dickens to steampunk] and it makes the...

So, Layoutshooter: do you 'hit & run' when you're behind the wheel, too? :confused:

I can't answer the avg income query, [and don't know how accurate a projection for 2 years from now would be, because it's tough to project for right now, given the many variables involved.] I can toss some differences between expediting in a S/T and OTR as a company driver in a t/t, though. The...

A number of authorities have been pressing charges against perpetrators of domestic violence even when the victim changes her mind after the initial incident. Because victims often prefer to lie to cover for the guy, after the initial fear has worn off, than to see him in jail. Especially if...

He just asked a question - he didn't say anything about "Do this and then get back to me." Asking questions, we do all the time - it's that "get back to me" line that's insufferable. THAT'S a homework assignment, neh? :rolleyes:
