Exactly what I said. If the court honestly believed those arguements using the 5th, 13th, and 14th Amendments to be true, do you think they would've said so? No. About the Fair Tax... I've read enough about it to know that I don't like it.

Then why ask us, if you've already come to a conclusion?

"Not I", said the rabbit.

Very simply, because not everyone is a hermit. Maybe because money isn't EVERYTHING to everyone. Maybe because after three weeks on the road, a day or two isn't enough to unwind. Maybe because, like you say, ppl are used to having the weekend off, which comprises of nearly 25% of the week. Maybe...

The post was hinted towards my remark about owners watching tv while drivers work. I agree with Dave totally, but only as it pertains to him. He is the EXCEPTION to the casual owner. Dave treats his title as a full-time job. And I'm sure he does as much, if not more brainwork, than his...

Dave Dumbledoor? Has a ring to it. ;)

I'm not talking big item costs, like liftgates and such. I'm talking standard items like straps, blankets, and pallet jacks. Besides, we're talking loading and unloading pay. Strapping and blankets don't add in there, to me. That could be either a split, or an all owner, or all driver pay. It's...

IF there is a flaw in the language or meaning of the Amendment, do you honestly think any court would point that out? There would be anarchy! Not to mention the Amendment is itself unconstitutional, because it overrides the 5th Amendment which guarantees the government cannot seize your property...

Leo and I seem to be on the same page, except for detention. I don't understand what it has anything to do with an owner. The owner isn't waiting for anything. The driver is the one who pressed the little qc buttons to accept the load, therefore, they should recieve any differences resulting...

Who sits on their arse in front of the TV while the truck is waiting to get unloaded? The owners. BTW... a truck doesn't "wait" for anything. A truck is an inanimate object, and therefore cannot wait. Poor excuse for the owner getting any detention while he's likely eating cheezy poofs and...

Blah blah blah, Cheri. You already told us. :p

Some say that.

Actually, I'd call extra money they give for taking crappy loads - incentive.

LOL OVM, you crack me up! Yuppitize! :D Makes me wonder what George Carlin would say to ADDED FINANCIAL INCENTIVE. Actually, incentive is fine. But bonus is finer.

30%.......

You forgot "Barney" purple.

Added financial incentive??? What politically correct cracker came up with that one? Bonus: something in addition to what is expected or strictly due Feel free to use bonus. Gameshows do.

Do they have colors other than "pull me over" red?

Greg... I was thinking the exact same thing about sidestepping environmentalist litigation for nuclear power plants, refineries, and drilling. Get rid of litigation and you have progress. I'm going to post something I got from OOIDA about regulation. It made me rethink going back to it...
