Dude, you're looking for 'love' in all the wrong places, lol. Expedite is where failure is not an option, and a van that old is a failure waiting to happen. Maybe you could do something like delivering phone books, where it doesn't matter if you get there or not. Just saying.

Is what I think: Obama was elected to 'prove' that racism has been largely overcome. It hasn't, and even if Obama were a great President, it wouldn't make any difference to the racists. Like Turtle says, we really can't make up for the past, [and the Indian reservations prove how little we care...

The media doesn't want us to know about a whole lot of things [which might embarrass people with the power to make the media suffer for their transgressions], hence the constant diet of random violence and celebrity gossip. Both subjects are a safe and reliable distraction, guaranteed to not...

Since the vid in the link no longer exists [wonder why, lol] we still don't know how to defeat the facial recognition software without looking like a bank robber. I gather it involves a hat with a 'halo' of infrared lights that are invisible to people nearby, but blind the cameras. That could...

Technically, the tag transmits the location of the object, which is useful in shipping [like the QC] and tracking [like UPS & FEDEX package delivery, and pharmaceuticals], but it's not a huge stretch to imagine tags being placed that can track a person's location, as the cellphone. Auto mfrs...

Yep, it's easier to be compliant with elogs, and compliance is what FMCSA is after. If there were any proof at all that compliance equals safety, I'd agree, but I'm pretty skeptical. The original suggestion from FMCSA, that those carriers & drivers with a history of bad behavior be forced to...

As Rumrunner said, most people considering expediting are advised to drive for an owner first, to see whether they can handle it - we don't do much 'drop & hook'. We drop and wait, and the waiting can drive some people over the bend. I didn't suggest it, because the OP indicates some knowledge...

I found this graph, which lists the top 10 causes of death [in the US] and gunshots are #10. Rather odd that insurance companies are able to charge higher premiums for smokers, but don't screen for a sedentary lifestyle & poor diet, which has a huge impact on the rates of cardiac disease, which...

If you find the facial recognition technology disconcerting, you're really not going to like RFIDs. Radio Frequency ID tags are implanted in a wide range of vehicles and consumer goods, [also pets and products for transport] so their location can be tracked by readers. Many tags contain much...

If passengers are a priority, don't forget to ask recruiters about the carrier's policy, because it varies.

It depends on your need for income and tolerance for aggravation [for lack of a batter word]. As the vehicle size increases, so does the income - but so does the aggravation. You have the most freedom in a van/Sprinter, but the lowest income. [Generally speaking - a Sprinter driven by a...

Carlin could certainly be rude, and profane, but he could never be mistaken for a fool, and I adored him. :(

Coming from an adult, that's just - um - uh - bizarre, ok?

There must be a brazillion versions of this song, but I like this one best: Brian Setzer Orchestra Baby Its Cold Outside - YouTube Brian Setzer [of the Stray Cats] and Ann Margaret. I also LOVE "The Little Drummer Boy" sung by Bob Seger - it will give you chills!

When you state "I'm bored", you made it personal, and I responded to that comment. Now you don't want it to be about you?

When a drunk acts obnoxious, or gets behind the wheel, it is all the same.

Then you should start threads for that, instead of hijacking the ones you're not interested in. Because the people who were discussing something don't appreciate the takeover when they have something that's actually relevant to add, but it's no longer close to where it would make sense. Because...

They don't advertise it, but McDonalds sells bags of ice for a buck. Even the drive thru, lol. :)

We used to do 'donuts' in snowy parking lots for practice, [and in the middle of intersections for laughs], but I can't imagine doing it in a T/T! A S/T, maybe.....
