The sky isn't falling yet - I remember reading that the NTSB made a bunch of recommendations at least 10 years ago, on the issue of truck vs car safety, and the FMCSA has [so far] managed to address only 2 of them: the "no zone" signs on trucks, and the "leave more space" billboards. The rest of...

You meant 'interesting' in a totally GOOD way, right? :D Welcome, don't be shy - we like new voices. Mostly. ;)

I'd be willing to bet the number of women [mostly] who have "tearfully" complained about being sexually assaulted by a Dr or dentist is much higher... It's all about perception, and my perception is that if certain areas of the body are off limits, that's precisely the loophole terrorists will...

I think profiling should be allowed - no, make that mandatory, for security. As for a pat down being a sexual assault, do you feel the same about being measured for a custom made pair of pants? The point is, there's nothing sexual about it - it's business, and serious business, you ask me. Like...

Someone needs to ask the Honorable Mr Simpson just how much dignity we are left with when undergoing a urine drug test, eh? I know Springriver isn't alone in characterizing the TSA pat downs as sexual assault, I just think it's not at all an accurate characterization of the procedure, and those...

A bit late on keeping the laundry under wraps. :rolleyes: I understand posting in anger, but cryptic hints don't accomplish much beyond stirring curiosity that is probably best left unstirred, IMO. Resolving issues that don't need to be aired in public is exactly what the PM system is good for...

Springriver: while I haven't flown since before the security got intense at airports, I seriously doubt that characterizing the procedures as a 'sexual assault' is accurate, which casts a shadow upon the accuracy of the rest of your arguments. And I'd really, really, like for you to be right...

ATeam did a pretty good job of listing things that are hard for us, [except I don't drive for FedEx, and he left out a few that'd be on my list] but here's the thing: none of them happen every day. Nor does the waiting, which doesn't bother me overly much, as I'm comfortable and busy then - so...

Irt: if this is a 'driver wanted' ad, it should be in the classified section. Maybe you were hoping to slow down the flood of applicants by hiding it here, but you'll just have to deal with being in demand, so to speak. Maybe you could get Melanieanne to help you with the deluge.......:confused:

When it comes to how they spent the money, they lie all the time. Everything else, they just lie some of the time.:cool:

Just to clarify: the owner has had half a dozen trucks there for awhile - I just waited to see how they liked it. And they like it very much - I believe I will, too. It's great to work with people who are good at what they do, and expect the same in return: win/win. :) PS thanks to whoever...

It's nothing like it. Living within one's means is pretty easily determined: provide all necessities, some extras, and save some for future needs. Whatever your income, that's how it works. There is zero evidence to suggest any of those who lost their homes were 'living beyond their means'...

Oh, the irony: a rant on what those irresponsible folks who can't read SHOULD do, by someone who can't read. Because if you can read, you can spell - COPY THE DAM WORDS!!! The word I misspelled was intentional, btw.

Beats me, but there must be a reason for using hair, not nails, considering the frequency of follically challenged folks, right?

Correct answer is in post 6.

Problem, Guido?:confused:

Yet another blatant stereotype: that those who "have no skin in the game" [and what a charming phrase that is] also have no sense of responsibility, or desire to keep their home - easy come, easy go, right? Sure, there are some who fit the bill, but how many lost their homes because they lost...

You could start by reading the Newbies FAQ, then ask whatever questions you have that weren't answered there. [We get tired of typing the same stuff over & over again.] If you have a carrier specific question, it's best to call them to ask - information changes, sometimes. Welcome to EO! If you...
