You know what else sucks for a solo? Detention. If we sit for a couple hours at the shipper, do we lose/swap the load, or fudge the time that we can no longer use the split sleeper to cover? If we wait hours to get unloaded, can we legally drive to somewhere to take our break? Did FMCSA even...

I can't copy it, but the publisher of the Journal News is identified on facebook, with her photo, lol. Her name is Janet Hasson, address 3 Gate House Lane, Mamaroneck, Ny, 10532 There's also a phone number, but that is probably already changed. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the info, but I...

Welcome, newbie! If you've been lurking a while, we don't gotta explain our sense of humour, right? ;)

Aristotle: it's not meant to be taken literally - it's a warning: when injustice doesn't bother you because it doesn't affect you, look out, because the perpetrators of said injustice may well focus on you next. Or maybe just because you know in your heart that it's the right thing to do.

We're searching [and researching] everywhere - but it's a little too late to go for illegal, sigh.

First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for...

The smart approach would be to find the cause of their needing help & eliminate it, IMO. Of course there will be some who are beyond help: lazy, stupid, whatever. But they aren't the majority. Blaming the unemployed is easy, but it won't fix the problem.

Whatever else you think, I'm not stupid - I understood that the first [and dozens of subsequent] time you said it. The question is where you get your news/information, and you clearly aren't going to answer. Why not?

There are more poor because there are fewer jobs that provide a living wage, and fewer opportunities for higher education, and our legislative representatives have been bought and paid for by those who profit from the current status quo. I don't accept that people don't want to work - unless...

You did NOT answer the question: where do you get your news/information? All you provide is where you don't get it - but what sources do you trust?

Also too bad we [nurses] were never allowed to do that with a drunk/high, noisy & belligerent patient. We could [and did] use restraints, but the duct tape over the mouth would have been a welcome addition. I never would have thought being a stewardess would have more job satisfaction, lol. ;)

Yep, I agree.

And in all the shouting, no one acknowledges that #4 is the root of the problem, aided & abetted by #52, made worse by #30-32. We can't fix the problem, if we don't know what it actually is - and it isn't lazy people who don't want to work. Just sayin.

Hope it's good news - keep us posted, please. :)

I'd be willing to bet that for every person who doesn't want to work, there are a hundred who do - but cannot find a job that makes financial sense to accept. For a lot of reasons: wages, transportation, childcare being the greatest, it would not improve their situation. In fact, it would make...

I have to agree with Los on one point: experience is special. So special, that 12 eyewitnesses to an event can recount 12 different stories, with totally different claims of who did what, and when, and the vehicle they left in, and every possible combination of factors involved. So much so that...

Well, Boss, I think you got a pretty good one. ;)

What I truly cannot, never could & [probably] never will is ignore the outrageous things you type - even though I know that getting you to back it up is like trying to nail jello to a tree. Sometimes, I'm just in the mood to try again.
