I will throw out a alternative option that you can consider since I have done both. If your ability to obtain business or undercapitalized for a full blown operation, I would suggest leasing to a carrier (my shameless plug for Panther) or one that lets you run their freight but lets you book...

If the injector cups are bad you likely would have deisel mixed into your coolant.

That is what I was thinking. How closely tied medical lobbyists are to that panel will answer some of that. The other thing unconfirmed is this 15 member panel will have no medical background. Not sure if that is true or not?

I do agree they won't be making decisions on individual cases, but I am not sold on how this oversight panel is going to work. Or, I haven't heard of a good explanation. Have to wait and see. You are correct with the Palin claims. I wasn't really referencing her comments.

I'm surprised they are back in business. Well...maybe not surprised.

No not really. As it currently stands, the insurance industry followed by state and federal regs control what is decided. But make no mistake, it is still money driven. There are still alot of checks and balances and when they go to this board, those will be eliminated. Or.....there will be...

Just a matter of what to call it. If you are going to have a panel of 15 appointed government policy makers made up of people outside of the medical community to determine costs for procedures and at what point they are received or not,........what would one call it? The right calls them "death...

Very true. It gets very tricky when science butts up against the religious or moral side of things.

Until you have the answer to "when life begins?" the battle will rage on.

Don't blame you. I heard about a hour ago they may close it around Beckley.

Had a truck doing a pickup to Roanoke Virginia and the truck developed a problem that prohibited us from doing the pickup. May have been a blessing in disguise? Running through WV looked to be a challenge tonight and tomorrow.

And there it comes back full circle to the question that can't get answered. "When does life begin?". And when does it not? That drives the arguments for those on both sides of the issue. Do you force someone to do something, or do you not? And at what point and by whom is that decided...

I would be there but it wouldn't be until spring.;) Move it to Florida and I am there. :cool:

Had times through my life when I have had it, and times when I didn't. Probably like many others. To me it is more of a state of mind verses hard currency.

What facts have come out have all been negative. Still alot of unanswered questions and regardless of the answers, they still look bad. I wouldn't say it is a full blown coverup, but each day it seems to be inching closer to that outcome. Obama is probably the only one hoping on that hurricane...

Coming from a heavy democratic state, that kind of article would be expected. As for your welfare chart, that of course is a much bigger current problem.

Well of course. I woud say that as well in that scenerio. I would say that most businesses would say the same thing when they shift business to China. Ask Apple or GE.

Can't say. Haven't done a Nissan load since mid summer, too busy with the other kinds of loads. Haven't heard anything lately but don't really follow the auto stuff.

That is how it starts. Just ask GE. No one is better than Jeffery Emmelt which is Obama's job czar.

They are probably starting to look at a hard reality as other auto manufacturers are. Your in a global economy fighting for basic raw materials that are climbing in price. Add union wages and outrageous EPA standards that keep getting more expensive to operate, and you price yourself right out...
