Ran hotshots [emergency repair parts for the oil industry] for a small trucking company in New Orleans in the late 70s, drove a limo for a bit, and delivered auto parts in Cleveland, before getting a class A to drive t/t.

Thanks, John. The report doesn't specify the tread depth because it wasn't measured, [because it's well above minimum]. The cupping is confined to one edge, and my point is: if it isn't serious enough to need resolution immediately, why is it a violation? Now that CSA makes the 'violations'...

Yes, Hawk, I'm sure. They debated the subject, as some felt like you say, but ultimately decided a person's right to vote should not depend upon financial status. Good thing, as the housing and banking crises have changed "The American Dream" - now we are told that some people just can't afford...

Dabus: I'm betting you can't back those statements up with facts about who is collecting welfare, food stamps, etc - you just repeat the same tired myths that "everybody knows", right? Or have you actually researched the subject, so you know what you're talking about? Why do you believe what...

Do you think that the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives [for whom the study was done] is gathering information reflecting just one side of the idealogical battles over the budget? I don't, because they are a NONPARTISAN research agency, meaning they collect info from all sides, not just...

So is the Pilot in Castaic, and they don't charge for parking.

End it, yes. Remove it, no - why make it disappear, as if it never happened? Then only those who saw it know who said what, and that gives an advantage to the loudmouths who post things that should be privately settled. :(

In a lot of ways, yes. But a LOT of parents are failing too - and there's no accountability for them. At least the schools have some oversight.

IMO, any claim to knowing what another person 'really' wants, thinks, hates, etc, is just a lame argument, because it can't be challenged, and therefore remains as if it were true. Which it could be, but who knows? [Yes, you believe you do, but I'm not so sure.] Unless the claim is regarding...

Agree 100% that a vow of celibacy is simply a means to control, but disagree on marriage. It protects the good of the many [society] by creating a stable family to raise children to be good citizens in their turn. Kids need two parents, if at all possible. That said, I don't believe everyone...

I can see asking for feedback on carrier practices that a recruiter might be inclined to fudge on, but what you asked is simple black or white factual questions, so why not ask the recruiters? :confused:

We're pretty much limited to voting for the candidates, and that's the problem: they have to be wealthy to win elections. What $ they lack, they have to trade promises [denied in public, of course] to get. The candidate gets elected, the big donors get rewarded, the public gets screwed. Money...

I think of it as an issue like clothing: because some parents allow kids to wear wildly inappropriate clothing [grade school girls dressed like they're going on MTV, controversial T shirts, bandannas in 'gang colors'], all the kids have to suffer the consequences of rules that reduce their...

Agreed. But as the places that charge for parking are primarily the ones with almost no competition [Laredo being an exception], it's hard to believe that they 'need' to make up a difference that the rest don't.

No argument there! Nearly every response to this thread says "It should be up to the parents" while the facts show that the parents are basically at fault. They can't [or don't even try] to counter the attraction of sedentary activities [Nintendo, tv/movies] and unhealthy food [fast, junk...

Of course we do - when the CB Rambo doesn't know whether the loudmouth he's arguing with has a gun, he'll likely be more moderate. Or the morons will kill each other. Either works for me. ;)

It is both the parents' and the school's job to educate kids about nutrition vs empty calories. With the childhood obesity rate having DOUBLED in 2 yrs [2006-08], parents are clearly not doing their job. [As they very often don't - having a child doesn't automatically make the parent act...

Quote from the article: "To date, there has been sparse health and wellness information available for CMV drivers." Puhleeeze - where do these idiots have their heads, that they can't find the tons of info on those very subjects? Never mind - I think I know where their heads are.:eek: I'm with...
