    Iceland summons US envoy over demand for MP's Twitter details

    I think Iceland should just stick it. Twitter is an American company, it is on American soil and it should not matter if the person is a MP or the King of Iceland, the warrant is not being issued for her on Iceland soil. IF the problem is of privacy, then there is a limited expectation when you...

    Pic of the Day....

    We do not have anything near a democratic process in this country, and we never should approach it - ever.

    Will the D-12 defend this?

    I think if they made the movie like the book was written, it would have been a better movie.

    Outta here!!!

    See Layout, you and night and others here are not the issue, although it is funny and sounds like a sexual aide, the problem is professionals in the media being lazy and drumming this issue as it really was important. The radio and TV stations did this to the 2.5 million in their...

    American congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot in the head

    The judge wasn't the target, the intended target was the congressman who is part of the state. Again whether or not the guy is a judge should not come into play, it was a crime committed outside of the District of Columbia (which is the feds real jurisdiction) and on state soil, so it should be...

    St Paul MN truck stops

    Do you have the same problems as others seem to have with the chandelier and the marble floors in your sprinter?

    Outta here!!!

    You know Night I am not trying to offend you but the guy's name is Rich Rodriguez, not richrod. Since this has happened, the lazy and somewhat dimwitted newscasters (among a lot of sports fans who are naturally dimwitted) keep saying richrod <-- just like that ... running the words together...

    The Rights of Our Over-indulged Children

    Well I don't see it as an intrusion, it started back in 1938 and if you know the history of the ICC, FDR and other things surrounding it, then you can understand the following - not many people who are alive today ever worked under conditions with no hours. BUT if you really want something to...

    American congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot in the head

    Whoa there layout, The point I'm trying to make is that crime happens everyday and whether or not giffords is a congressman should not matter one bit but it does from the media falling all over the place about it to the law enforcement groups spending a lot of time on it. I really don't think...

    If you are in a Tractor and sit more than a day with any company ... there isn't any excuse.

    American congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot in the head

    It isn't just one stupid democrat, a number of them came out and said her hatred put the cross hairs on Gifford and others. I find it ironic when you have democrats and talk show hosts (Randi Rhodes anyone?) who are calling for the killing of a president on the air. I see this as one of them...

    where are the loads

    Well not really... most reasons for a tense relationship seems to happen on the part of the dispatcher who for a lack of a better term is a controlling sh*thead. What I mean is that you have yet learned the most important fact in this business, you need that driver and you have to respect...

    company question

    Landstar? That's that company with the blue star thing, right? Seriously, it is a good company for those who are willing to learn the business, it is between being independent and being a contractor with the other companies. The system is simpler than many out there, you don't get loads from...

    start up questions

    Hello ... the first question that needs to be answered - are you in the business already like driving for someone or are you starting fresh? As stated every state is different but I can tell you I paid $823 for my Apportioned Plates from the state of Michigan. It varies but overall it averages...

    I think it was the conversation that he and Moot had that triggered it, too bad he seemed to provide some good info/entrainment.

    The Rights of Our Over-indulged Children

    I didn't say eliminate sports out of the kids lives, I said eliminate school sponsored sports. There is a bit of a difference there - if you don't see it. I do agree that sports teaches kids all kinds of things but when it comes down to the control of the sport by the school that is more...

    Class 7 or 8

    I would go for the class 8 but I would consider other ones too. In getting a truck, any truck, follow the practices of those who buy and sell a lot of them. 1 - get an oil analysis done. 2 - get a dyno done with blowby 3 - get an ECM dump 4 - if possible get a vischeck 5 - go to the...

    why landing gears ?

    SAFETY Many 'expediter' trucks allow forklifts on them, where P&Ds don't. The forklift, some small ones weighing up to 8000lbs can cause the truck to shift laterally and in some cases actually cause the truck to move forward if the driver is an idiot and races onto the truck. Chocking the...
