    Its official as USA and Mexico sign pact to screw American truckers

    20 cents a mile? How much do you think a starting driver makes for one of those big companies? I am looking at one rate guide right now and it says 30 cents per mile starting. I base my net on 40 cents a mile over 1000 mile.

    And away we go .....

    Well if I took any of the offers I got this week, I would have been in BFE SD or somewhere in the desert Utah. It seems to be typical forth week to me. Oh and enjoy your time out of the van.

    Good, or bad?

    OK Dennis, I guess if you want to run with the crowd and play it safe by repeating the same things, go for it but I see something different and refuse to react to the idiocy that others keep screaming about in their press releases. If anyone would venture to research the issue, look at the...

    Closing arguments on Anthony trial

    I know, I'm tired and it is the first thing in the morning. But see with all your wisdom, you are lumping both law enforcement and the judicial system all in one when there is a difference between a court of law and law enforcement. The court is where the charges are filed and adjudicated...

    Its official as USA and Mexico sign pact to screw American truckers

    Well I'm all for throwing up a wall on the Mexican border and later doing the same on the Canadian border. With all those illegal Canadians coming over here and working at the tim hortons, we need to protect our dunkndonuts somehow.

    Terrorist Bomb in..... Wetherby?!?!

    English version; Ch Insp Mick Hunter, who was in charge of the response last Friday, said: "Police don't want to spoil people's fun and if people want to geocache then that's great. "But in placing the caches, what I would say is, please apply some common sense to where you put them."...

    Only in California...

    Well so did we. We have a history too, more so in some cases than the soviets had. If we compare their atrocities to our, we come out second but not with clean hands. Now we are a stupid country, who in their right mind would hint at let alone put out a news release that we are operating in...

    Its official as USA and Mexico sign pact to screw American truckers

    What can we do? look at what other countries do to attract business and follow their lead. There is an assumption made that because we are the UNITED STATES we don't have to do much to attract business but the reality is we are on the edge and can fall over unless something is done politically...

    Only in California...

    Living in a fascist world maybe but not living in a soviet world. The odds were against them to begin with. As for the subject at hand, I don't have any kids in the California school system and if this happens here, I won't have kids in the public school system which is going to happen anyway...

    Its official as USA and Mexico sign pact to screw American truckers

    I'm sorry but it seems no one wants to actually learn what is true and what isn't. If you fall for the BS line that the teamsters and others are propagating in the news, then I feel sorry for you. I can only see the negitive in this as it would affect us in the way it already affects us. It...

    Closing arguments on Anthony trial

    Actually Turtle, you are a bit wrong. You can dispute this with the two judges who explained it to me if you want to. The jury did not find her innocent or confirmed she was. They found her not guilty on some of the charges and that was it. They don't confirm or deny the her innocents in...

    Only in California...

    wow I clicked on this thinking it was about the Chinese language ballots that were printed. I think that translating names into other languages and messing them up is a bit more important.

    Good, or bad?

    Well see I look at it differently, much of what people say on this subject seems to be on the side of BS with no facts to back up what the claims are - one BIG issue is how the rates will tank. HOW? You can't operate a truck for nothing, can you? When a truck gets 6 miles per gallon at...

    Fed Ex and can't see the forest for the trees

    Well I guess my point in another thread has been mentioned here and no one seems to get it so I will leave it alone.

    What would you ask?

    Well I for one want to see France's system of education come here - the money follows the kid. This means that the public schools system will have to change drastically or just go out with the public trolley system. School vouchers are not enough, it is too restrictive and doesn't afford the...

    What would you ask?

    Ft Wayne, not to beat you up on this but the problem with the kids going to college is that we need to seriously look at why the cost is too high. I beleive the loan and grant system is the exact reason why tuition is no longer in balance with the education that one gets. I listened to a...

    Its official as USA and Mexico sign pact to screw American truckers

    Really? I think that the problem many point to isn't with the Mexicans or the preconceived notion that they will ruin the country with their presence on this side of the border but rather looking at the "players" of this issue, like the teamsters who can't benefit from them being here because...

    Another Ill. lib dem stating how he really feels

    Can we also apply this to the last president and the one in the 80's too? Texas politics at its best ... Hollywood politics at its best ... Every president has done the same thing and been asked to do the same thing. No difference other than the name on the door.
