Doug, quit being such a tool!

A lot of things different would've happened if we had gone to Bagdad the first time... 1) We already had the Iraqi Army on the run. It would've been a lot easier to finish it off. 2) We already had bunkers busted and tactical targets destroyed. 3) The Shia in the south wouldn't have been...

A gallon is volume, oh shelled one, not weight. :rolleyes:

Thanx Padre! If it comes down to that, I'll make a call to one that you've sent. I was thinking about them myself.

The thing is, Cheri, is that local politicians now have the mentality of DC... give the ppl goodies, and they'll re-elect you. They have no problem paying for this and that program to make sure they have a life long JOB. I'm not even talking about welfare programs, which it seems you think I am...

Obama, as a leader, is a joke to our enemies. I think he's Carteresque in that respect... he doesn't have a clue diplomatically; but he is doing Carter's economic policies. Reagan was able to talk directly to the ppl. He was the best orator since Kennedy, and possibly since FDR. Reagan was a...

Knock it off, hdx! Anyone can see that for the thinly veiled threat it is. This is a debate forum, and there's no reason you need to stoop to that level.

They artificially lowered the interest rates, keeping the economy going good. But it was all just delaying the inevitable; and now things are worse than it would've been if they had just left it alone, and let the recession happen.

I wouldn't consider Obama naive; tho possibly Carteresque. He's more of an FDR, IMO; which is MUCH worse! I think he knows EXACTLY what he's doing... at least in achieving his ultimate goals.

Hey... the Dems would/still claim the Repubs want to starve your chirlins by cutting school lunches; take away old folks' healthcare; are racists because they aren't for welfare, etc. All untrue. Although overblown in the claims you post, what's good for the goose! All I can say is hooray that...

Ok... who are you, and what did you do with Rock? Ahh... I get it. You're yanking our chain too! :D 4) By and large poor people are poor because of poor choices. Chemical dependency, illiteracy laziness, irresponsibly having multiple kids, lack of education, and on and on. Probably 80% of the...

You'll have to look in the mirror for that one. You fell for the rock star's glitter, not me. And if that's all you got from that looooong drawn out post of mine, then... well, let's just say I hear ACORN calling... better get it. It may be your chance to shine! Hope n change n yes we can!!!

Dave, I understand where you're coming from. The best of both worlds would be the best scenario. Unfortunately, going with Panther is not in my best interest; and not many smaller carriers would give contractors the latitude to look for their own freight. The only other option there would be is...

Keep convincing yourself of that. Soon you'll believe he11 is a winter cottage down south.

Bravo, Star and Turtle! Let's see if MrG will respond to facts and common sense opinion. Turtle... as you and I can attest, just because the problem with Canada's homeless may not necessarily be visible from the on-ramp, doesn't mean it doesn't exist; OR that their system of dealing with the...

What exactly do you think Obama is? Working class? HA! No... he's an elitist. Anyone who doesn't believe that is fooling themselves. You were once a conservative? Hard to believe that one could actually gain compassion while losing common sense; but I guess it happened to Newt Gingrich, so...

More like too many dependent citizens demanding the government take care of more and more of their ills.

Great post, Bryan! I'm gonna steal something from Louixo in the Loading Dock. It's an editorial cartoon from 1934, and will illustrate just how true your words are - about everything being the same as then.

I'm not talking about fleet owners in general. I'm talking about the ones who aren't businessmen. They generally sit back and let the trucks fill their coffers, while not investing for either the trucks or the slow times. When times become bad, like now, they start cracking the whip so they...

I've been independent for almost 10 months now. I've had months that blew away previous bests as a contractor; but am now wondering if going back to a company, at least until things pick up, would be the best move. As any independent would know, the rates out there are close, or lower, than the...
