    Birth certificate forged?

    You know the thing that many may not know is that some state health systems will create a PDF file on the fly with signatures and watermarks. It is done often in database reporting systems and even with some DMVs. The databases I use, MySql and MS Sql Server have scripts that kick off each week...

    "multiple expletives" ACLU

    Yes, and so ... what's the point? If the conservatives would also jump on board with sticking to the constitution, not much of this would happen but they, like the liberals are as much to blame for how our prison system works and the 'rights' felons get as much as the ACLU.

    Fair Per Mile Pay (gas + labor) for Newbie ?

    My question is this, did you ever think about buying a van and bypassing all the BS? Why would I say such a horrid thing? Because vans are cheap.

    Did you pay with a credit card? If so, call the card company and file a complaint that the work wasn't done right.

    zoning board to property owner: tear down house or go to jail

    I understand that Texas has no zoning laws, if this is true, maybe we need to seriously look at how they are surviving without them.

    Don't we only care about the stock market?

    Govt to lose $14B of auto bailout funds

    Well what is not being said is Chrysler and GM are both paying back loans by using grants and loans from the EPA and the Department of Energy. ALSO if you have bought a post bankrupt GM or Chrysler product, you have nothing to complain about, you benefited from the losses the tax payers have...

    Most Dangerous Cities List ala FBI

    Well I would agree with you but part of the problem is also a race issue, this is a divided region and it will be for a long time. This issue is one that has allowed people to justify behaviors, not just of those of one or another race but everyone. Tie this to the mentality that the union has...

    Operating under an LLC or an S-Corp?

    My co-driver? Don't have one. In the past I took a percentage of money for payroll for both of us, minimal mean wage for the job, and then took the rest as dividends with cap gains taxes to deal with. A good accountant will set it up for you.

    Joplin, A Quick Story...

    It matter when people make claims that it was an embarrassment to the country of what happened to one city where we as a nation have no control over the actions of their elected officials. When you have civic leaders making claims that the feds didn't care while they themselves prevented people...

    Building Your Business Plan Spreadsheet II

    Well I was put off by finding a locked thread so here is where I will post. This has been done, a few years back I took the OOIDA spreadsheet and extensively modified it. I was ****** slapped for saying anything here on EO, I think the poster said it was a pathetic attempt. Well last year my...

    Joplin, A Quick Story...

    What happened after Katrina is a national embarrassment. Yes it was a national embarrassment not because we didn't get aid to them but rather because we as a country decided to not hold their elected officials accountable for the slow response to the disaster and allowed them to reelected those...

    Women breaking barriers in Navy, not SEALs yet

    This may sound sexist but the problem with women in combat are two fold, one is the men who work with them and the other is the problems related to the enemy -- any enemy. I won't mention other issues that impact readiness, standards and consistent performance. As much as I would love to see...

    Building Your Business Plan Spreadsheet

    Pjjj, I'm a bit puzzled - don't people already have a spreadsheet for this?

    A depressing prediction

    You know you guys don't frink'n get it - the republicans have no one who appeals to the independent voter at this point and they are too far behind to put up a worthy candidate who can actually topple the messiah. All the idiot talking heads on the entertainment channels and politic advisors...

    the new cruise control

    You have to find a dealer willing to go outside the system (meaning the VIN system) to find the info, not too many are willing to do that but it can be done. As for Ford, who exactly did you talk to there? Did you by chance look at the F250 for the parts list. I have to also ask Instrument...

    Garden Corner 2011

    Well it is a wash now. I lost the other two gardens I had planted, one was wiped out by a nice old pine tree that toppled over right on the garden (it was on TV with my little plant signs sticking out of the branches) and the other was washed out thanks to the people pumping out their basement...

    Flat rate vs Percentage dry box. Part 3,456.

    BUT as part of the FedEx system, the way I understand it works is simply they have a separate dispatch system with a different purpose - trying to keep the trucks loaded. IF this is the case, the idea of moving to an 'active freight' location becomes a moot point if they keep you moving or...

    Building Your Business Plan Spreadsheet

    Well I don't know where you've been but I have disclosed my revenue a few times in the past. It isn't like people can't find out what others make in this business as I found out from an EO member who knew my exact numbers and my loads and offers while I was running under my FedEx contract. He...

    Building Your Business Plan Spreadsheet

    Comparably speaking, it doesn't have a dispatch system, it doesn't have much to do with rates. The rates are generated by the sale people (agents) who contact the truck directly and make the offer. If I don't like the price, then I tell them that. I have worked with agents who give a solid flat...
