Bob, During the late 30's when the war was going to start, a number of WW1 vets told the public that we should not get involved with another european war. What we did instead was supply the europeans with arms and stuff to fight. We didn't sit on our hands but actually was a participant...

They offer it at say 1.20 a mile?

There is a bit more to the Landstar story. I won't detail it but it isn't that simple and I do believe that if Phil had to face their scrutiny, he would be saying the same thing about them as he says about FedEx's safety guy.

I understand that they have to register with the US DOT to obtain an MC number but do not need to have a full authority in order to do cross border work or deliver into the state from Canada.

I can guess who that was that made that offer.

I was entertained by it. It reminded me of the stories I heard about what they did in the field to keep them running. I've got a book somewhere in my collection that describes the organization in the army that put these things together during the war and how they actually did the work, it...

Rlent, I know I know... There isn't much of a difference. But the national sales tax that is talked about is also being spun as the vat tax in some parts of the media (Fox). Diva, A couple years ago I went through and kept super records of everything I bought or had done. Using the fair tax...

I think it applies to owners, do yo own a van? And if not why? They are cheap.

THIS is a really really interesting comment. Maybe the word favoritism has to be used to illustrate the issue a lot of us have had with the fact that owners who contract with new freshly licensed drivers are the real caused of these problems and maybe enforcing their own policies equally may...

You should have a contract before you get near the truck and sign it after you inspected the truck.

well here is a rather odd two questions; We have Canadian drivers operating here in the states, does a Canadian driver who gets inspected here and violations get CSA 2010 points that count against their Canadian carrier even though the Canadian carrier does not have a US DOT authority? Does...

6% will not cover the revenue, there is a serious downfall with a national sales tax and nothing else. I don't want any flat tax, I pay enough now and this will increase my tax burden enough. Flat tax would work only if it is actually applied fairly which it would not be. Look at the Fair...

No, making them bad comes from the helicopter parent disease.

THIS is a UN operation, not a US operation and it is important that we understand that the UN is running the show, not the US. The issue of freedom isn't even on the table because of the push by many in SK to have some sort of reunification. See here is the thing, we can't continue to...

Bob, there have been a lot of issue with toys and other products having too much 'chemicals' that can harm kids in them. The last one was glasses made for I think Burger King that has cadmium in it. It is like the Brazil kitchen and dining products of the 80's where the glazing used...

So? What's the big deal? See Dennis, I can't blame them at all. We are too stupid as a people to see that the terrorist won on the issue of rebuilding too. We should have just rebuilt the WTC as it was, let the insurance companies deal with the rest and that was it. Instead we should not be...

Different congress. Funding for operations comes from Congress not the president. He can pitch a b*tch about it but if congress says NO, it is no. About Vietnam, they were overrun by the north and we pulled out because there wasn't much of a choice. We almost won the war a few times but...

The TSA sends you nothing, they are not the one who tests you, it is a carrier thing. The certificate is for your pleasure, the number is just to say they did their job.

Then lets put an end to the billions spent and pull our troops out. We need to reconsider our position with the UN and how we do their fighting. It may be a good thing for those in the UN but if we need to cut back on budget needs, then considering we never declared war, it should be on the...

But Bob, why do we even need federal law enforcement outside of the INS and some of the FBI, US marshals? Isn't the states able to do this? I would consider cutting back on the FBI, US marshals (which are used by the states for fugitive recovery) and eliminating the other upteen federally...
