Yeah we will sleep in the van tonight and wait to see what kind of news we get tomorrow. The van has the notorious 6.0L turbo diesel which they said they have seen a lot of them and went over some possibilities when I told them what happened. I did some research on the 6.0 before I got the van...

I figure its just a dream but maybe next time. Imagine how much money a unionized solar energy plant could get? Probably more than the half a billion that we just got ripped off for. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

No they didn't want to work on the van, sounds like that is a good thing. I was going to try them first because when the van shut down I pulled off on exit 66. We ended up having the van towed to Complete Automotive Repair, they are going to try and get it looked at in the morning so I know what...

I don't care which president or party does it but they need to make the US a friendly place to do business especially for manufacturing. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Apple has been missing him since he left. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Sounds like he is getting a lot of miles in and seeing a lot of the country. Hopefully he gets to drive in snow with his trainer so he has the experience with someone to help, its different than being in a car. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

You won't be far from Alexandria and you may be able to get a hot shot load for an oil company. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

If you feel that way then get your own call and organization started. There is more than one opinion but the one being expressed in the call and what the OP believes is against the ban. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I would like to know what studies they did to show restricting cell phone use for commercial drivers makes anything safer. How many studies have been done to know that this will not cause drivers to become fatigued due to boredom? Why is the ban not being recommended for all vehicles given the...

I don't think it is, I haven't posted on anything other than my phone in a long time. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I think it really depends on your level of experience. I think the more experienced guys make the multiple carrier idea work better than someone without experience. I believe it is better for a newbie to have the perks and company support of working with a carrier like FedEx, Panther, Bolt, etc...

Contact Frank the tax guy, he has per diem sheets for van drivers. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

It is for real, they want to make sure you aren't going to leave. Phones are actually quite expensive for the cell phone companies. The article below lists the component costs, then there are all the other expenses cell companies have to pay for. The companies are selling these phones at a...

The maintenance jobs I am thinking of are machine maintenance mechanics, not janitors, although some janitors would still be needed. I think we pretty much agree, I think the unions fought hard to keep robots out of factories which made it a much better idea to just move the positions overseas...

There are maintenance jobs, shipping/receiving jobs, managers, QC, etc. The idea is even if the robots are there to do the repetitive tasks there are still plenty of jobs to go along with them. We manufacture more than cars. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Exactly, we can even focus on green technology or building the robots. Even if repetitive tasks are done by robots there are still plenty of jobs that go along with them. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

It looks like manufacturing and construction are doing better than expected. I find it odd we are pushing companies to outsource manufacturing jobs and insource construction jobs when they are so important to America...
