OVM, shut up!! :p First it is that horrible picture which now my cats have to go into therapy to get over and now Haggis? Should I repeat my haggis story? John, Jameson? Ever try Bushmills or Redbreast?

Blizzard, there is no way you can say legally. The DOT has nothing to do with the company, the contract or the management of the fleet for specific loads. The company can tell the driver what to do with that load, they are in control, not the driver and it is not an employee/contractor thing...

Whats the capacity of the truck? 1600lbs seems to be out of step with the Fed's idea of what you should take, or am I wrong?

I wouldn't think so.

Whew ... when I saw the POTUS thing, it was a flag that you were either moving back to Canada or that you were moving to NYC.

OVM, you gave me and my cats nightmares. I don't think they will ever recover.

I wish someone would show me where this is true, after fighting for/with/against contractors in another business, they are doing a job for the company and in no way would become employees when they are told to take a break or swap out the work. Only when the company starts telling you how to...

I understand what you are getting at but it is not out of control. We had a deregulation of this industry which has caused us some serious issues and need to step back to regulating it again. Right now the feds can regulate the cost, and if they want to, then that's alright with me. But it...

Do you think it is safe or in the drivers best interest to be regulated by a carrier? YES! Because the company is not just there to service the customer but also to make sure the people who are contracted with them operate in a SAFE and REASONABLE manner. If this guy got into an accident...

Airlines are like trucking, federally regulated. They get their routes, their operating permission and licensed pilots from the federal government. The general aviation gets taxed because of the commercial aviation doesn't seem to want to pay for it. To me this is alright because this is the...

OVM, Did you actually write this? Really? Yet it is true that 47% of the population of our country doesn't pay taxes, there is no NEW entitlement class nor are all the people who don't paid taxes are on welfare. Look at the facts, many people who are in our population receive some...

Moot, I'm not Leo but I know there is a gap there on the 2003 - 2009 vans. I haven't looked at the 2010 models just yet. The front suspension should have at least three inches of travel so get one of them fat straight truck drivers to stand on the bumper and see if it moves more than an inch...

Piper, we are all exploited by all truck stop chains. I think there are a few who are fair in pricing but those seem to be individually owned and operated franchises.

Vehicles are nice to look at but they are tools and may not be all that great of an idea to give an impression that they need one of them to do the work. I am going to return to something, handing out flyers with questions to ask. This morning I was asked why would any company want to do...

But the balance of the court will not change regardless. Unless a conservative/constructionist judge steps down in the next 3 years, then there is really nothing to worry about. By the way Leo, I have come to the conclusion that Bush and a lot of his stuff is about the same as Obama. There are...

Well I actually did this to spur some conversation but it didn't go anywhere.

For a person who has zero litigation experience and zero credibility, it seems that the senate may reject her. What you all should worry about it not who is on the bench but why the republicans are eager to help ratify a nuke treaty.

quota to write tickets.

Well I heard this nasty rumor, and it is only one of them rumors but we may not have scales next year if they don't get with the program and meet their quotas.

Well I thought about it for a long time and one day I threw that idea at some sociologist at the U a while ago and she was "sure ... I think you're talking out of your a** on that one" until she looked into it and found out it was true (*gasp*).
