OH here we go again - driving is a privilege not a right and the fine should be $5000, not $2500.

Many of you never sat in the chair of a dispatcher and many more who have never actually had to work in the environment that has a lot of pressure. An article is meaningless because there may not be anything that you can relate it too. THIS is the freight business, not a police or fire or EMS...

Well now I get what you are saying but I would say no. A vet is a volunteer. Not to be harsh or slam any vet but no one forced them to sign up. This also can apply to gays too, no one forced them to be gay and try to force their lifestyle on to anyone else. With that said, there is a...

Well that's considered a utlity, not a retailer or service provider. A toll is a service, much of it paid for by federal funds and that is one reason why they have to take federal currency. If I go to a gas station and put $45 worth of fuel in my car, I have to complete a transaction which...

Chef, There is so much bullsh*t about this subject and the truth is lost among the worries caused by the propaganda that has been put out there by the media and these stupid blogs which just repeat the same old crap about the subject. The fact seems to be; 1 - much of this is written by...

Never heard that. Something new?

I didn't say I didn't worry, I asked you to give me a reason why I shouldn't. Beside who said I was going to go there and what does it have to do with the Mexican drivers coming up here?

But where's the proof? I keep hearing this but I don't see it happening. I can tell you that the ones I met a few years back were paid better than I was and they spoke good english and drove better trucks than I see around here. They were working from San Diego up to San Joaquin Valley hauling...

'98 is a long time ago and things have changed too much to make a comparison. For that matter, the number of companies that went under are not explained to who and why, it just seems to be an aggregate.

Yes, they use Asian carp for it. There is some company I think in Illinois or Wisconsin that process it and exports it to Israel and Russia.

Well you haven't given me a good enough reason why I shouldn't.

Wow we still are heading to h*ll in a hand-basket in this state, our senators are worried about the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and a fish? Solution - promote gefilte fish exports and declare open season on all Asian carp with no license needed and no limits on the catch - with the stipulation...

Opps Let me edit this ... Why shouldn't I?

Great! Congrats... now go celebrate and buy a van!

John, you are talking about FedEx delivery, and even then there is a lot of small cutaways being used. FedEx CC doesn't seem to use them as much, I don't see them often as I do good old GM and Ford vans.

Outside of union based rhetoric and some of the 'right wing' trucking blogs, not one thing has been actually talked about a real impact to the industry AND my bottom line. Most of the stuff, from uneducated people driving screwed up trucks to the price of fuel has been regurgitated so much that...

Well Highway I understand if there were no parts in the warehouse or at another dealer, then yep you're screwed BUT a lot of times the person can do more than accept the "we can't get it here until X" type of answer. I ran into this problem with my pickup, being stuck in BFE Iowa and told that...

I think they need to get a Pulitzer for the title of the piece - Fire Torches Plant ...

I'm amazed. Just utterly amazed.

They have been fact for a long time. I don't see it as a big deal or affecting my bottom line. We have other things to worry about in this industry than a few Mexican drivers on this side of the border.
