Mjm: the customers who got ripped off were the carriers & fleet owners who a few of the top mgmt suits considered either unsophisticated or unattentive, not any individual O/Os. As Xiggi pointed out, boycotting might just result in some of the low paid clerks getting laid off, or reduced hours...

I've noticed that many 'luxury' cars and SUVs have incredibly bright lights the past couple years, and my west coast mirrors aren't powered. When someone is approaching in the next lane, it can be blinding. It's particularly annoying when they just 'hover', like they don't want to pass, but they...

I have a small window shade [roll up] affixed just above the driver's side window. It works for sun and those annoying superbright headlights, too. It has a suction cup on the bottom to hold it in place - I just need to remember to loosen it & push the button to roll it up before putting the...

With more than 10K members of EO, there could be an awful lot of potentially interested drivers & wannabees reading.... I've never been a recruiter, but I think I'd want people to have an accurate impression of whomever I represent. I could be wrong, though - wouldn't be the first time, lol. ;)

Brisco brings up some excellent points. [My fingers did not want to type that, lol.] I'd be interested in the recruiter for HW's response, because they are legitimate concerns, not 'he said/she said'. If there are reasonable explanations, we'd like to know. I'd also question the inability of...

Xiggi's correct: keeping your BP within a decent range is critical - don't blow it off because you don't 'feel bad', especially if/when the meds work. Lisinopril is well known, but if it doesn't work, there are others - sometimes it takes a bit of trial & error with different meds/dosages to...

Glad to hear you're making progress, lol. There's just so much that is unknown about the human brain, and how various chemicals affect it, and it may be entirely different for me than for you. For example, there's one antibiotic [Cipro] that gives me nightmares, literally. Anyhow, keep moving -...

I will surrender my rice cooker when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers! ;)

Maybe some recruiters could chime in, but IMO, most carriers are more interested in your experience than what school you attended. With no experience at all, I'd suggest finding a someone who has experience and is looking for a co driver. Or you might find an owner who is willing to go out with...

Knock off the snark - I raised my daughters, not the village or society, and I did a damgood job of it, thank you. It is a parent's job, but when the parent fails to do it, a civilized society does not allow the innocent babies [the ones you're so concerned about, when they haven't been born...

If public schools are teaching anything under that category that isn't factual, I have to think there'd be a whole lot of parents pitching a hissy fit, right? And I haven't heard a peep on the subject, so.....

It just amazes me how some 'myths' just never die. If poor women ever had babies for the welfare payments, that practice has long since been stopped by the states who actually decide how much money a welfare benefit will be. Because states have tightened the eligibility rules, and clamped down...

When it comes to science, there should be no 'indoctrination' to any agenda, except the facts. If they called it religion, that'd be honest, but calling it science is indoctrination, and that's inexcuseable.

Don't mistake the pragmatic approach for approval - I don't believe teens should have sex. And I certainly agree that it's the parents' job to teach them why they should wait till they're more mature. What I'm saying is that the rate of teen pregnancies & STDs says that parents are failing to do...

Can you explain how the first article shows "why schools need to be turned back over to local authority"? The zero tolerance policy for explosions may have been federally inspired, but the responding LEO who called the prosecutor was definitely local, as was the prosecutor who advised charging...

LMAO It's not what Dave meant, but it's funny! ;)

As the number of teens who don't get pregnant or contract an STD includes those who are just plain lucky [don't ask how I know that] as those who have good parents, I think the number of teens who do get pregnant, or get STDs is more important. Until we, as a society, figure out how to ensure...

Each driver has to make his own choice, but I wouldn't include the Tramadol because it's not going to show up on any drug screen, [it's not an opiate], and while it is prescribed, it is for use PRN - as needed, meaning one may take it some days, but not regularly. Like aspirin. As for DOT...

If my argument sounds "sweet and caring", it's missing a lot - I was trying for pragmatic, lol. I just don't get the belief that parents are generally wise, committed, loving, in the face of so much evidence that so many aren't any of the above. And the point remains: if parents have been doing...
