Hey here is a novel idea, instead of expanding the mess that 'grants' us use of our own money, let's look at changing our tax system to allow us HSA for everything. Boy it could help the people who are struggling with this 'health insurance issue'. Fair Tax

It was a thing that was offered to people who are professionals, like I was. I was salaried, had a contract and did a specific job with a specific skill set. When I was laid off, they had a specific formula that was used for our layoffs and the company paid that amount. Normally an hourly...

HOS? Speed limit? Come on guys/gals, you are all missing the problem - poor training of all types of drivers, people who shouldn't be on the road ever and no self-policing in this industry.

OVM, my wife was laid off right after the holidays and it was horrible knowing that you won't have work after the new year, it ruined Christmas for us. Why is it that they deserve a severance pay?

Depends on the company. Some instantly, they just download the MVR and make a decision there while others use outside services and they may take a while... a long while.

Well OVM, I would have rather have it happen sooner than around the holidays. The shock of being laid off (no biggie for many) will be less than anticipating being laid off and having a cr*ppy holiday by realizing it will happen during the holiday.

Well What can you do? Progress. Someone should be concern with all the buggy whip makers too.

That is the fault of your state, not the company. The state mandates the fees, the care and so on in different ways. If you were allowed to go to New Mexico (just threw that in) and buy insurance at $200 a month, then you would see the savings but the states do not allow it and I think no one...

Go back to having the Federal Employees run and handle the census. There is enough of them around, h*ll for that matter they are hiring them at a rate of 10k a month. They are civil servants who should be able to handle the work, if not fire them.

Charles, that's funny..... haha.... Seriously though, bleach is the best defense for most of the cr*p floating around in the "Truck Stop Shower".

Ark, I understand the trust you have in your doc, but don't hesitate to ask him about getting a second opinion. Don't think that he will be offended or it is an indication of any dis-trust you have in him or have any guilt over it, because if he is really good he will direct you to another...

I had several and they got between 9 and 12 - if I didn't push it. Most of the time it was about 11.

Oh Bullsh*t. The state of Maryland can't do this because these are journalists, they are not entertainers or people like Linda Tripp. If we are going to play games with the idea of "if you do that, we are going to go after you" cr*p, then it stops at the door step of first amendment which...

I think that one of the most important points other than no one acted like this when Bush was 'heckled' during his state of the union speech is the fact that invaders of this country already get government sponsored and paid for health care in different forms. We provide many of them health...

I agree, a lot of the past special people have returned.

The only perfect company is your own. There isn't a carrier out there that can satisfy everyone as there is no one TV show that everyone likes.

But even if the republicans get control of congress, they are too spineless to do a thing about this organization and it will just continue on. I don't know what the SEC has to do with anything, but the FBI should do follow up work and the IRS should lead it. I don't think anything will...

You are kidding me? Right... investigate ACORN? Look it is clear they have a free reign with everything they do, and like many other "community" service organizations, are not held accountable under the laws unlike other organizations who every penny has to be accounted for and their mission...

Well the bigger fear is not ammo it is how he will influence any first amendment rights legislation and how he will use his power to stifle free speech. See he is a big proponent of revising the first amendment which is scary in itself and at the very time that the courts are deciding on the...

Do you know your operating costs? There is no standard formula, it all is based on basic business practices of profit, break even and costs. In this business, expediting, the costs are more based on the fact much of the freight is moved by exclusive use trucks which means that the customer...
