I believe that what occurs behind closed doors, between consenting adults, is nobody else's business, but the key words there are consenting, and adults. Anyone who abuses children, in any way, should be locked up for the rest of their lives, because so far, there hasn't been any success in...

People whose generosity is given without any expectation of publicity, as Broompilot's was, are the very definition of class, IMO.

It's the kind of country where citizens are innocent until proven guilty, and taking the law into your own hands, is breaking the law. Arkjar, try imagining this: say you have a neighbor, with whom you don't get along. One evening, you're walking down the street, minding your own business, when...

RE: Contacting carrier One of the things I like best about a small carrier, is that I don't need to call them a lot. (Not only did I resent having to pay for time 'on hold', I hated being forced to listen to their advertising - I'm not a customer, why are they playing this ad loop ad nauseum?!)...

Compliments from the Col. are so rare, I hate to spoil the euphoria, but Rich is right. BroomPilot is one who genuinely wants every one of us to do well, and I'd sure miss him, if he quit posting.

Of course you should call Covenant, but the rules for drug /alcohol screening are pretty strict - they may not be able to do one, on the word of a bystander. The police can, however, so that's who I'd call first.

I recently switched from one of the big carriers, to a small one, and I'm very happy to not be a rolling billboard. There is no logo, but we stay busy, nonetheless. I don't know how much 'name recognition' is involved, with most loads being bid on the internet, but I believe the owner has a good...

RE: New Missouri law expands authorization for dea In the novel "Stranger in a strange land" by Robert Heinlein, was another simple way to unclog the courts, and 30 years after reading it, I still can't believe it isn't done: preprobate. Every estate above a certain amount must have a will...

Great question, but it should be separated into team and solo runs, ya think? There's a huge difference! I just delivered ny longest-ever solo run: 2550 miles, Pittsburgh to Seattle/Tacoma. Whew! ;)

>no he will never know the father but my old man said he will >take care of me and the baby he is the most wonderfull man >in the world If you and "the most wonderful man in the world" plan to pretend that he's the baby's biological father, I hope you will reconsider - every person has a...

One didn't even need to read the newspapers, or watch tv to see that a housing crisis was coming - just observation of the houses being built the past 5 years would be enough. No one has been building "affordable" housing, for working class folks, it's virtually all seriously 'upscale' housing...

RE: New Missouri law expands authorization for dea That's good news, OVM - for the people in 19 states, anyway. Particularly welcome is the part about deterring frivolous lawsuits, though there's a simple way to do that - make the attorney(s) pay for wasting the court's time, if a judge...

This is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, TMI already...

RE: just two Does it count if we were drafted?

Me too, and when I right click, and select 'show picture', it is all white - Coco, is it supposed to be a picture of Cleveland in February? ;)

RE: Sleeping while truck is moving and you are not While I can't fall asleep to the sound of tv or radio, some folks can. A good "white noise" is a fan - nice, monotonous noise, to lull you to sleep. One thing I think helps, is to fill the bunk with fabrics that feel good, from high thread...

I think the "attacks on labor" pretty much began in the late 1800's, so most of us weren't born yet...:+

Ok, I may not be the brightest bulb on the string of lights, but how could we be considered competitors? I don't think you would get a load that I wanted, or vice versa, and even if you did, I doubt I'd hold you responsible for my not getting it - I'd blame it on whomever bids the loads. The...

Gosh, BP, where have you been hanging out? I was just last night, as I rolled west through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, thinking that there sure are a lot of FedEx D units out here, and most of them looked pretty good, too. Maybe that's why you didn't see them - they were mostly...

RE: If you turn down loads ,will your company fire I agree, if one is turning down half or more offers, it's time to look for a new opportunity, and I wonder how much that might have to do with the astronomical turnover rates that plague some carriers. Speaking strictly for myself, my...
