    Most productive congress?

    Checked the link twice, goes right to the AP frame with the Detroit News form of the article. The AP has some new crappy rules they are enforcing about redistribution - something like taking the fair use statue out and shooting it.

    Most productive congress?

    OVM, Amity Shlaes wrote a great piece in Imprimus this month about the history of the depression and the game Monopoly. It is not yet in the archives. For many it will explain a great deal of what happened then and now (and show you what will happen) plus it adds the reasoning behind the...

    Note to newbies about guns in truck !

    Well I think there are signs that say NO FIRE ARMS. Nevertheless, this is an ongoing discussion, some think you can while others don't. Dividing it up, there is not a reason I can think of to carry one. BUT on the other hand a lot of the former men in blue still carry and think they can...

    Truck Stop Blimps

    I think you missed the point. The ada does apply to trucking, there have been already issues with disabled truckers who got waivers and are driving, even a few in wheelchairs. The problem is that it circumvents other regulations that were put there for safety reasons and take up parking spots...

    2010 T/T Expediters Question

    I think the biggest issue is sitting. Regardless, there is sitting. As I think about it, I can't understand why people would get into this working for an owner driving either a van or a tractor - both are cheap to get and use.

    Most productive congress?

    I caught this article and almost vomited. News from The Associated Press Here are what the writer claims as their accomplishments. Making college loans more affordable. Let's try instead to find out why college costs so much in the first place. Then let's start cutting the funding to a lot...

    Truck Stop Blimps

    The ADA unfortunately does apply to everything except the military and the FAA regulations. It applies to trucking and how the FMCSA has gotten around it is simply to have the doctor become the responsible party for a waiver. Once a doctor says you are fit to drive, he is pretty much the guy...

    Oil change reignites debate over GPS trackers

    I do agree to a point, but I would like to see the elimination of the refugee use and student visas among other things. Closing off the border would help but again this is not the subject of the thread, spying on a US citizen within the borders of the US without a warrant is. It does not...

    For van lowers...

    You are aware that the espace was a UK design based on the Caravan? As for Renualt being years ahead, I would concede that point in comparison to any American company, mainly because we have no style left. Case in point - Avantime Citreon is another company that can show us a bit more about...

    Explain Please

    Too Hitler? OK where did you learn history. It is more or less too Post Mao China. See I am all for eliminating the exploitation of children (as much as I am fighting slavery) but there is a problem that extends to who is doing what where and who is responsible and making them pay. Because...

    Explain Please

    Honestly Layout, there is a bit more to all of this. We are a weird society, maybe the reproductive right issue is just a fallacy and maybe we need to start licensing people?

    Diesel Demand Signals Growing Economy

    OVM, Right now they are at Zero. it needs to be at 6%. Here is a great scam (I simplified it to keep it short) You are a bank who has access to the Zero % loan from the fed. You borrow say $150m and then immediately dump all of it into treasuries. Your loan is not due for at least 2 years...

    Germany just didn't get it until now

    It didn't fail because of the untethered immigration. Their immigration laws are a lot tougher than they lead to believe. It failed because the European experience is such that they have build pretty much monolithic societies within their borders and MUCH of the immigration that has happened...

    The new 'safe food' czar hasn't always been safe with your food!

    It is but some are slow to digest it. Any czar is a bad thing to have. Maybe we need to reevaluate the need to have a Food and Drug administration and only have a drug administration?

    CSA 2010 - The Elephant in the Room

    Actually Dave - the above bold comment is the best statement about the CSA 2010 that anyone can make. It is a non-issue unless you have an issue with keeping your truck in good shape and playing by the rules. For a few, they are over complicating the simple.

    New Panther Lease-Purchase Program

    I think after 44 posts on this, the Panther representative should step in and explain/answer these concerns.

    For van lowers...

    GM is worried about their stock and making money off of it while ford is lost in the woods. IF Ford would get off their a** and bring the same van as MB has within a realistic price, they would own the market within a few years. GM is still struggling on what a van is, they seem to think...
