Out of all the pictures I have taken on the road, this is the best yet.

Well Layout, it is both administrations. The loss from the IPO has been determined to be about $5B without adjusting it but once adjusted for interest and other costs to the tax payer, it is more or less $15B. There is still talk about debt forgiveness and many are forgetting that Chrysler...

Well it is not the problem of the press or the public what a company does with their money. If it is an issue, everyone buy shares of the company and complain then force a vote to change the execs - most likely you will make a profit.

Well maybe this will weed out the accidental expediter like it did in the past. For me, I'm on a fixed income and my entire budget is set for $4.65 a gallon and I use 80 gallons a week. I sleep well at night.

Who's picking on Reagan?

Leo, IT is not just liberals, conservatives are at fault too.

Because it seems that if they start getting involved with what is actually petty stuff, it just opens the door for more and more regulations that hurts everyone all around. So for you, how often does this happen? Every 5 loads? Every 25 loads? 1 out of 100 loads? Certainly...

Layout, I think you need to settle down a bit, I'm on your side to a point. The problem is the "I deserve" mentality that drives many who are involved for only what they get out of it, which is not just the military but other places. You among others preach about how bad it is with many...

I have yet to find one under $150 from any dealer and that didn't include the Purge Valve or the Cummins kit for the holset QC compressor.

Why? I mean so things get messed up but having the solution from DHS or customs opens the door for other things from them. Maybe if the driver is selective and proactive about making sure the process is followed for those carriers who treat the driver like a kid, things may actually change.

Do you actually want the government involved with detention time, dock issues and all that? I sure the hell don't. There is no solution to this but on the other hand what is the percentage of time through the entire year you actually spend waiting while being on time and it bumps into...

Most likely you have a bendix air dryer, and if it looks like a big can on the frame rail, then it is most likely an AD-9. If it has a spin on type filter looking thing on top, then it is something else. They still install AD-9s on trucks. Bendix has a chart, Air Brake Component chart that...

What company are you with? AT&T and I wish I wasn't. Does their coverage area meet your needs? Not like I would want it to be. Sitting in Ft Wayne can't get a connection for my laptop but I can sit on the toll road in the middle of no where ohio and it has better speed than my home...

Did you actually read what I said? There is a bigger more important contract - the constitution - and it has been broken too many times to count. If we can not bring ourselves as a country to follow it without exceptions and hold the government to what they are supposed to be doing, than what...

Yep and that's the problem. They seem not to care enough to train their people to do the right things first. This goes to a mentality that the contractor is a child, who can't be trusted. It isn't brain surgery, it is customs.

You know Layout, there is a more important contract with the people which has been broken more often than any one that has been made to individuals. There is some sort of excuse that had been made to justify the existence of programs like Social Security but that is not a social contract as it...

Well like I said, it is the carrier who needs to step up and do a bit of time management with some intelligent planning. I have to make a pick up in Windsor, the carrier I'm doing the work for has the paperwork for the load in their hands before the pallet is wrapped, they check it, call if...

Go through a customs training course and you will learn all about what happens and how the process works. Shippers are the ones who are ultimately responsible for that shipment in the eyes of the customs people, but the driver can be the victim like the broker. There is a lot of problems...

Wow that's slow!

Yea and? What am I supposed to do with any d*mn PM thing? I just got rid of the other 5 someone else sent me and one was ripe and had little PMs, so I ended up with 10 of them running around my hard drive. You know unless they are house broken, they don't use the litter box in the computer...
