1 - in this business (niche market actually) most of the people (O/O) are contracted to a company (FedEx, Panther, Bolt) and operate under their authority. 2 - independents, true independents are O/O who have their own authority. 3 - there drivers who work for O/Os who are either contracted...

OMG here we go again with the crappy quotes. Look Michigan has lost population because of a lack of jobs. Most of those jobs could have been saved but the attitude of the people tied with the need to be a Manufacturing State and the fact that both the governor and the legislator are clueless...

Oilerman, I am a product of the Unionized Public School System and have to make up for the deficiencies that were forced upon me by teachers who didn't give a sh*t. I make no appoligizes for my hatred of public schools and the abuse that is forced on the students who attend them, that madness...

I understand the guy's enthusiasm but "wonderful industry"? I would seriously recommend this; Look for a community college to go to and take your time getting a license before seeing what 'this' life is like. If you are inclined to travel the country and be a trucker, you may not like this...

I want to know something. If a driver from a foreign country wants to drive here, why does he have to know English? If you go to say Russia or Japan, do you have to know the language to drive?

Here is a real world example. I got a load out of Chicago going to Detroit for $2.25 a mile. I thought "great I don't want to go home" but money! I get to the pickup, it is all hand loaded stuff. Small boxes that weight 30 pounds each. After I am loaded and everything is secure, I start the...

What middle class? We lost that in the 30's as we did the lower class. Most of what today's middle class is can be divided up into different groups and most of the groups are told who to vote for. Even though you may think for yourself, the union mindset is perfect for people being told what...

You know what, my statement is very true. We as a country and system do not refuse health care to anyone. I am proof, I had no job, no insurance and I was sick. I worked with the doctors and hospital and survived. Yes I was in debt but nothing is for free. What ruined it has been a few...

I think it was a case that the tracks were not like Big A, Meadowlands and other venues where there was a solid presence of organized crime being involved so things went on but didn't. Instead here we had a lot of people who were involved with the horses that were high profile, Gordy Howe is...

Well I did well in Canada for a while, the speed thing and the border cost kind of took the fun out of it. There is a lot of work there for those who like to deal with it, but I guess in the last year I become more spoiled. Still like the country and the food. Now that they are going to tear...

Well I can think of a 100 or so people who are more evil than Obama, you just don't like his ears - that's got to be it. As for biden, it isn't that he is a moron, the guy is rather bigoted but beside that he is one who may be the type that will make poor decisions without thinking, like his...

Duh! Jenny and a few select people have been protecting them. Look where Northville is ... hint Wayne county She was the Wayne County Corporation Counsel under MacNamara, which meant that she had dealings with Northville and some parties who had money involved with racing and the need to...

Actually OVM is a US legal resident so he doesn't count with the Canadian/US thing. With that said, I know a few Canadian drivers who do more than border crossings. The rule is a US driver can only cross and deliver but can't do intra-Canadian work, and the same goes for a Canadian driver...

A lot of by pass systems drain right back into the pan, leaving no back pressure in the return line. If there is an internal leak as Piper mentioned, then the oil just returns back to the pan without being filtered. I have faith that the Cummins dealer can figure this one out.

Well the problem is simple, Medicare. We don't need it, it is endangering people's lives so let's get rid of it before it kills anyone else.

Leo, This is the second time you said this and I got to tell you that you DO NOT want biden near the oval office. There is something wrong with the guy and because he moves up, the Nancy will be on line for a possible move because the staff won't even tolerate him long.

This is one reason why Doctors should stay out of the debate - it isn't about medicine or who gets what but how it is paid and by who. Unlike other countries, we do not allow anyone sick not to have access. In France and other enlighten countries, they seem to kill off their elderly while...

Letz is rather really right about this but the problem has been our greed and selfishness that has led us to this point in our history. It is easy to blame the president or congress but it is our own **** fault. We choose to get into easy situations without thinking about the future and many of...

Dave, I think we need to separate the different issues. 1- this is a bus. they are not regulated as a truck is and are not targeted as trucks are. Don't give a crap what others say if they are regulated, when was the last time you seen a greyhound sitting on the side of the road with a...

Just bought another set of mats for the truck, they were on sale. No countdown needed.
