Unfortunately for us truckers, our Constitutional rights are superseded by the need to earn a living - most carriers and many customers prohibit weapons, and the states that don't practice reciprocity make it impossible for us to exercise our right to bear arms. If I could, I would.

Big Cat: I don't know the legalities involved, but it seems a case could be made for libel, slander, defamation of character, etc, if a site knowingly allows allegations [without proof] to be publicized. We've all seen enough of these 'warnings' to know they're usually long on complaints &...

The confusion arises when a commonly used description such as hazmat [or commercial motor vehicle] is widely used to refer to substances [and cargo vans & trucks] that are, by law, not hazmat [or commercial motor vehicles]. In both cases, the determining factor is weight. Below the threshold, it...

Chick fil a wasn't 'touting religion', and neither do most companies, whatever views are held by the CEO, because it can alienate potential customers, which isn't smart business practice. If they accept the risk, that's their prerogative, but most just don't. I'd have shown my support for the...

I can't see any reason to incur the potential liability, just because some people don't know what due diligence means. If a potential owner can't or won't provide contact info for other drivers who have worked for him, stay away. Potential drivers are required to provide their work history...

As great as all the prayers and encouragement are, nothing beats your statement: been there, done that, and now I'm going back to work. Priceless. :)

When it's above 100, it's tough for any AC to keep up - particularly when running [or parked] in direct sun. Can't do much about needing to keep moving, but it helps to park in the shade, and put the reflective windshield screen on the outside, not in. Sometimes, it takes both cabin and sleeper...

Excellent! She puts so much emotion into it, which is the way it was written, and it takes a lot of guts to sing it alone. I just wish people would let her finish before they drown out the end with applause & noise, sigh.

Kristi: I hope this speed bump in your lives is just a temporary shake up, and you both get back to normal [or as close as you were before, lol] very soon. Being ill [or injured] is a rough time for anyone, and it's worse for us because we're fiercely independent - it's a blessing and a curse...

I think the Cactus Cuties should sing it every time, and when they get too old, they should teach everyone else how it's done, cause they are that good.

No argument there - but the point was that if they were/are harming their children, why isn't it ever mentioned in the news? I have never seen even ONE report of a gay parent killing their child [but quite a few delusional religious ones!] or being charged with abuse.

Why ever not? If I can confuse AMonger, it's payback, as he confuses me all the time. Because he says homosexuality is determined by the deed, [a point on which he goes into great detail, I notice] not the desire or impulse, which gets very confusing. Is a happy hetero who resorts to gay sex in...

Arachnyd: I think the "two running with FedEx" you refer to are TeamCaffee [Bob & Linda], in a straight truck. Nick & Jenny run for Load 1 in a Sprinter. Linda and Nick both do presentation/seminars, and there's a lot of info to take in, but they both make it fun for everyone who attends.

My 'penny in the pond' is that married couples ought to be able to combine their points if they want to - it's tough to share a small space, and some leverage couldn't hurt. ;)

eb: I missed the flea market - but it was a good idea, and next year, we need to publicize it better. I also missed meeting you [again], and if you'll send me a pm with your unit #, I'll keep an eye out for you, cause I can use a couple extra airtabs - they get knocked off the roof by branches...

Morals are no more rooted in religion than other inherently human traits such as creativity, generosity, etc. They existed long before religion was created to explain the unknown. Aristotle is correct in saying morals are highly subjective, which is the point AMonger can't seem to get. He thinks...

And the right would NEVER try to enforce their ideas of 'family values' with legislation, of course.

I guess that puts you on the liberal side of the aisle, then?

Smithmark: if the driver who finished their 11 hours is sleeping in the passenger seat, they might as well log 'on duty', because they're not getting real sleep, and that's the bottom line. Without enough proper sleep, it just isn't safe to drive - in fact, it's nuts to try. Please consider a...

Too funny, your saying "just keep your private life private and don't expose anyone else to it", considering that you can't discuss the subject of homosexuality without getting very graphic in the description of what you so despise - almost as if you enjoy thinking about it.... And BTW: Whether...
