    When the best isn’t the best

    Which are you rejecting: Republican, Conservative, or Texan? :confused: Your habit of issuing blanket statements unequivocally condemning [or ridiculing] liberals contradicts your explanation - and the habit of dismissing people with labels doesn't encourage an exchange of ideas - just head...

    When the best isn’t the best

    About the statement "They [liberals] have certainly encouraged them [criminal aliens] in our society", you might want to check out HB2012. Proposed by your very own Tx Republican [and 'Tea Party favorite'] Debbie Riddle, it specifically exempts those who hire criminal aliens for house and/or...

    Dumb warning labels

    Not only that dumb, but ready to file a lawsuit to prove it, sigh. They left off one of my favorites: 'Do not fold with child inside' [on a portable stroller.] :eek:

    March Locations

    You can trust the Screaming Meanie - if it doesn't wake you up, you're dead. Literally. First time it woke me up, it was my codriver's, and I nearly jumped straight out the window in panic, lol.

    Are rates reflecting the higher fuel costs?

    Rates have been the same for me, with the FS increasing each week. Like Dave M said, I believe the rate should go up, because the higher fuel cost increases the cost of nearly everything else - and it isn't likely to be a temporary increase, looks like.

    All Comercial Vehicles

    You're welcome. I forgot to add that you don't want to focus so intently on the overhead & forward directions that you miss the scale with half your wheels, as I did first time [in a t/t]. Luckily, that scale cop had a sense of humor, and he told me to circle around & try again - when he stopped...

    Sarah Palin: Kathy Griffin is a bully

    Breastfeeding and Kathy Griffin both gave Sarah Palin a chance to show who she is, and she did: not the thoughtful, informed kind of person I'd vote for. Even for dogcatcher.

    cargo weight

    Seriously: know what the limit is for your vehicle. When I drove a van [1 ton], I declined those offers that exceeded the weight I felt comfortable hauling - as EB says, let someone else abuse their equipment, I won't do it.

    Sarah Palin: Kathy Griffin is a bully

    Why would Palin respond? Maybe because she will do anything to keep her name in the 'news'. She recently responded to Michelle Obama's encouraging new mothers to breastfeed - which seems a pretty noncontroversial subject, right? Palin was quick to jeer: "Yeah, with the price of milk these days...

    It's what they wear instead of clothes on MTV. :eek:

    All Comercial Vehicles

    Chris: just look for signs/directions, they're all different. Some have 2 lanes, and you watch for overhead arrows directing you to the correct lane, others have a single lane. Some instruct you to dim lights, others don't. The bypass lane [the one you will most likely be in] keeps moving at a...

    cargo weight

    Buckwheat: I don't know bupkas about Sprinters, but I know a little about expediting, and someone who would turn his socks inside out rather than add the weight of another pair is someone who has the right attitude, lol. [And a cool sense of humor] :)

    Good day everyone

    Welcome, NAN! It's great to have folks with a lot of experience here to share it. :)

    Manual Trans in Cargo Van?

    Danny: the obvious answer is that there's not enough demand for manual transmissions - something I found when I wanted to buy a late model used car with one, sigh. As far as fuel mileage, so much of our driving is highway, would it make any real difference?

    Irreponsible Pet Owners!!!

    When you write that letter, ask whether there is no law requiring pet owners to maintain control of their pet at all times - it seems to be a common sense law that every city has, it's hard to believe they don't have it. I agree: unleashed dogs are uncontrolled, and should never be allowed in...

    What can we do to make it easier for dispatchers?

    Unless you have a dog [or dogs] in your truck, knowingly violating the contract you signed that prohibits it. Then, like a clerk who is rude and nasty to a customer who turns out to be a 'Mystery Shopper', you will be looking for another place to work. With absolute justification, IMO. My dog...

    Illegals call for Violence

    Life is a contest? Or a game? Who keeps score? What's the prize? Where are the rules written? What a strange worldview to have. :eek:

    Camper?

    Danny: CLC is Corporate Lodging Corp, and the card is nice to have, but I don't know if you can get one as an individual - I got mine through a carrier I drove for, and didn't tell them when I changed carriers - they don't seem to care about it. I remember someone posting that he'd got a card by...
