    America, the place where we are afraid of words

    Yesterday, I was amazed at the length that the news outlets have gone through to remove the work sh*tty. I listened or tried to listen to the trial of the Goldman-Sachs execs by the congress, more specifically tried to listen to Levin repeat the words allegedly used by the execs in a memo...

    Best ST box size??

    1 - Phil is special. 2 - Don't try to quantify the size of the box through utilization because we are not in the freight on demand but capacity on demand. The numbers are not there, but depending on the carrier, you may be in the position to have more than one customer's freight on the truck...

    Thank you Moot for that correction, I left out a few other things because of what's going on around me. Thank you again.

    US Army disinvites Franklin Graham

    Ah... I get it now. Just because they kill less, they are not as important. Terrorist are terrorist, be it a Christian Warrior or a Muslim. Even Mandela is a terrorist but he isn't Muslim and no one seems to mind that. I am sitting at home taking care of my wife and listening the the...

    You act like a lot of them don't do this to drivers. I have had them hang up on me when I was asking questions, I had them yell at me because I was transfered to the wrong person and I had them lie to me a lot. They do not have that hard of a job compared to what we do, they make it hard...

    Insurance Claim Denied

    I'm assuming you carrier is FedEx, I think they are the only one who has a two year bs claim line on the BOL and there are a few who have been hit a year after the delivery with no real proof - it is a selling point for the carrier. Get a lawyer if it is any substantial amount of money. Then...

    Generally if you are taking injections to control your glucose levels that's type 1 but not rare like a type 2 using injections. Type 2 is not a problem, there is no waiver but you won't get a 2 year medical card but only a one year.

    Best ST box size??

    Actually Humble that wasn't good advice two years ago, maybe five. Phil's advice seems to be a bit backwards, I wouldn't look for a carrier before the truck and then build the truck around the carrier, their goals can be a lot different than yours. But rather look for a carrier with YOUR goals...

    Best ST box size??

    Actually Phil, these two things are pretty much the same thing but good advice nevertheless. The thing I see is people can't go into anything without goals, goals are defined by the person and it is only the person who knows if they are successful or not. There are steps in any buisiness to...

    So You Want To Help Our County

    Actually if you want to help the country, make sure your kids are educated and know what the word Constitution means and what the document says.

    Ah... now I know there will be a lot of opinions about this, but regardless the carrier may insist on you getting a waiver without a CDL. This means more or less getting doctors to sign off on your type 1 diabetes to make sure you can drive. The issue for most if not all the commercial drivers...

    ....the next iPhone

    Didn't Drudge go through something like this? I know that the FEC has ruled that I as a blogger enjoy the same protections as a journalist during elections - meaning the exemption of McCain-Feingold applies to me too. I threw it out because I have journalist credentials for some of the work...

    Best ST box size??

    For the most part, I would look at mileage as a secondary issue. If you follow my suggestions on what to do when you are looking at any truck, then you can take the info and ask others for a comparison to make sure that it is geared right for that engine. The key isn't having the space to use...

    ....the next iPhone

    Yea but... does this also mean that because the WH said Fox news wasn't a news organization, they also don't have those same protections as CNN and CBS has? I thought this was settled sometime ago when the FTC and the FEC determined that blogs and bloggers were in fact journalist and there may...

    US Army disinvites Franklin Graham

    Well I don't think the military lumps like people together. Unlike one of our enemies - the Germans - our military does some sort of diversified training (meaning they put everyone together regardless of race, creed or color) and allow people to be replaced within units as needed. The Germans...

    Best ST box size??

    DO NOT GET ANY THING LESS THAN 20 FEET. I'm speaking from experience. Don't get fooled with the idea of having a big sleeper, if you can live in a box, then 72" should be enough. Don't listen to the cheerleaders, be versitle (sp?) and look over the horizon at what all companies want. Get...
