    John Edwards indicted

    Nope I don't agree, they are not victims unless they become homeless and penniless which will never happen. They benefited from his and his wife's "success" and sympathy is lost on them. I feel sorry for those who lost a parent because of a sickness and don't have the staff of people who took...

    Gadget Addiction Leads to Selling of Teen's Kidney

    I understand, but your point aside for a moment, the problem I see isn't with Abortion or anything like that but the rights we all should share equally. IF a woman has the right to something over her body, a man should too. BUT the right has to be uninhibited, meaning it is not to exclude...

    Teddy roosevelt saw this coming

    Well the GM thing is simple, they would have survived just the same. Right now as I type, there is negotiations underway over the elimination of jobs so GM can shut plants down. They will move those plants off shore, most likely China.

    Jack Kevorkian dies

    Nope you are not the bad guy, I completely understand your comments and actually can't be offended by them as others are. The problem as Ragman pointed out is not the right to die issue itself but how it was thrust into the public spotlight by a bitter old man who never dealt with patients in...

    Well I forgot to add something else based on the above quote The problem isn't with unbridled corporate corruption but rather government's involvement into the corporate world where their regulations forced the corruption to be created. If we stepped back to 1900 and used those laws to actually...

    Gadget Addiction Leads to Selling of Teen's Kidney

    The point is if we allow one form of decision making to happen while not allowing another using the logic that we can't make hard decisions in the first place it is a contradiction.

    Teddy roosevelt saw this coming

    Be careful there OVM, TR was the guy who started all of this and he is the reason we have social security, welfare and a number of other entitlements. It was his ideas that we have to deal with today, it was his crusade that he was on to right the wrongs through enlarging government control of...

    Rate per mile?

    A lot of carriers offer base plates for their contractors and charge them back for it - it is the same with signage and other things that are charge to the contractor. The number of medium and large carrier who provide "micro-loans" for things like base plates outweigh those who don't. By the...

    Jack Kevorkian dies

    Look I've justified my feelings in the past. He has nothing to do with there right to die issue other than screwing it up for those doctors and patients who had the protection of privacy afforded to them by the system until he stripped it all away. His cause wasn't to fix anything but to screw...

    Building Your Business Plan Spreadsheet II

    Well Polly a few seem to like what I did, I describe it for others to get the idea of what I did and maybe that would help them. So I did something, gave it to others, what did you do to share info or help others out?

    Rate per mile?

    Well Scott, many are still all upset with the CSA program and many have bought into the BS that this will thin out the herd and cause a driver shortage. furthermore many think that the program will bring to light all the bad drivers out there, like roaches in the sun. In order for that to...

    John Edwards indicted

    Good, I hope he is found guilty and has to pay. He used his wife's sickness to further his political career at the same time screwing around on the side. I have zero sympathy for him or his family at this point because of his profession - trail lawyer and what he has done.

    Chris Christie takes state helicopter to son’s baseball game

    Well Polly, instead of repeating every thing you come across and take their word for it to be true or factual, maybe taking time out to look into the statement of maintaining hours as a commercial rotorcraft pilot (theres a hint for you) as an excuse to justify his personal use of a state owned...

    broker fees

    Yep it is a super secret thing to ask about people's money. It all depends what they collect. One example, I know of a customer who shipped a pallet of parts from here to South Carolina for BMW. The billed rate was $3.50 a mile from the broker. It went out to several carriers and...

    Rate per mile?

    Moot, this is a point I tried to make a while ago, when we have the conveniences in the truck to make them drive like a car, then we get drivers who can't drive in them. I lost my A/C last year and I said something to one of the "truck drivers" sitting next to me at the truck stop. He was...

    New Ford 3-cylinder engine and 8-speed transmission

    I think that if they would have brought the diesel they offer in Europe over here and put it into the Fiesta like they do in Europe, we would see the 60 MPG here instead of only there.

    Thank God he is gone. For the damage he has done, I hope his next stop is down.

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

    See it's like this, vans are cheap, I mean cheap to get into and if you are going to get into this business as a business, it would be a better fit for you to start out making as much money while learning. In fact many make this out as rocket science but it isn't hard at all. The hard part is...
