    Life sure is getting silly....

    I will defend the position that the school board took in this case. I think it is great that they responded to a silly demand from a parent and showed that they are actually in control of the school system no matter how trivial and stupid the issue is. It doesn't matter if the students in...

    New DOT Rule - No Texting

    I agree with you; But then who defines a distraction? But then who defines the right to drive for that matter? If we are to think we have a right to drive as many want to beleive and our 'car companies' market things like Ford is doing, then we don't need someone to step in and tell us...

    Ban PETA

    So replace PETA with UN and see if the article still rings true.

    new to expediting

    Linda from what you said I think it comes down to two things. 1- having work that is consistent instead of the "glory" of expediting seems to matter more in these times, I have yet to hear ground having 34 hour dwell times. Revenue matters as you know, but if someone is sitting there thinking...

    New DOT Rule - No Texting

    You know that's really great. The DoT has been on the forefront in providing a small amount of research funds to Ford and GM to develop in vehicle systems for the past few years. They seem to think that this is safer for drivers because of "the amount of information that now get" to make...

    At FedEx how it works is the computer decides which truck is best suited for the load. The people who do the intake have to put in so much info, it doesn't have to be accurate info but enough for the computer to route the load (a lot of times the weight is off, sometimes all the info is off, it...

    another j to watch

    What do you meant the cooking habits were worst in the '40s? :D Then we allowed ourselves to build up immunities, to have our bodies fight viruses and bacteria but now we are afraid of our own kitchens? Better? I think it is much worst that the past. People used to take their time cooking...

    c-unit

    C units are hard to place outside of FedEx. If you already have the truck, it may be one of these things that you will sitting more or competing with vans. Age is another factor.

    potential income

    With Ground? Um... OK I venture to say stick with it but I know others will say otherwise. I know a few people doing the ground/freight gig and all I know is when CC trucks were not moving, they were and doing it consistently. This freight is not the same thing, the potential for good...

    Fleet Owners Forum/Fleet Manager Forum

    What is the difference between a fleet owner and an owner? There isnt any I can really see. OK I give you the truck thing but really all ideas on how to manage one truck or a hundred trucks help everyone.

    Volvo issues

    That's good. I know many will ask why keep it but the harness can be rebuilt. The amazing thing is unless there is a core charge, all the parts are yours, not theirs and they do get a recycle price for some of these parts - so after paying a few thousand they still make more money.

    Ok Al...where is the heat?

    BUT OVM by the environmentalist standards nothing matters - you driver a van for a living and harm the environment by doing so - bad OVM.

    impeach sc justice roberts

    Corporations - no Unions - yes. It comes down to two things - the mindset of a union worker (us vs. them or Rightious vs. Evil as some unions have said). When you live in an area like Detroit and stand in line at say Krogers, you can see where the pride sits. The person wearing a jacket...
