    Texting Truck Drivers

    What ever happened to just driving the truck? With the tweetingfacebookedbloggingtextingbluetoothediPodkindlermulticonnectedtrucker I think that we just need to pitch the 'connection' and focus on driving.

    Driver to fight ticket from I-75 inferno

    I know that but there are areas of the country that have just as heavy weight traveling on them and they don't break down like this. Since the 70's, the state has been lax in their spec'ing of the material for the roads and can do a lot better. I was pointing out to my wife the other day that...

    Driver to fight ticket from I-75 inferno

    There is a lot of evidence that the state has slacked off on quality control. I was just on a road that was completely rebuilt three years ago and now it is being torn up for a rebuild down to the gravel. We use crushed concrete in some of the road work as spec'ed from the state, I know the...

    Useless Eaters

    You guys have a lot to learn about Fascism and the players of our new world. Study the past and you can just change the names of the people writing the articles and books and it is all the same. "He became sick and died....here is the ashes of his remains" "but he was only 36 years old and...

    How Do You Remove Graffiti From a Truck?

    Thank you for installing Chillout and the Spam Decimator Version 1.5. I am wondering Lawrence have you thought of locking the threads after 30/60/90 days to prevent this type of scraping and spamming of the site?

    Atlanta tearing down last housing project

    Rob, It is not as simple as you are making it out to be. Other countries are setup differently to handle the debt load as we are not. The real issues isn't the debt itself, the formation of debt payments is based on expansion and recently the idea that a "green" economy will work. The real...

    Driver to fight ticket from I-75 inferno

    Other states have been proactive in having a clearinghouse system that informs the state if the insurance is dropped - PA comes to mind. We had another incident today in Ohio. Apparently a driver of a mini-van was tooling, served into another car, hit the barrier, roil;ling over ejecting three...

    Decisions,Decisions??

    what are your goals? Is it to learn to make money later on or make money now? T-Val means nothing if there isn't anything to haul. Just because they sell the service, does not mean that there is a lot of work to justify a move with one or another owner. I would recommend that first find...

    Driver to fight ticket from I-75 inferno

    Beating the ticket will mean nothing if he ends up in court for the bridge damage. He has denied all the time that he didn't cause it but I know that people still fly past there at 70 plus and have been for a long long time. The entire section has been a mess since they built it in '67. There...

    Maybe I am nitpicking but don't you guys mean Complacent not Compliance?

    Hope and Change

    I know that but here is the thing. I am sitting watching his 'speech' (this guy has more air time than some prime time shows) and he made a comment that I almost threw up over - he is now claiming that the stimulus package that he passed didn't contain "one earmark". If there was a perfect...

    I saw a sign when I was in Memphis for the first time. I had to turn around and pulled into the place, I can not remember where it is - "jim bobs furniture store and BBQ emporium". I heard about it once after that from another expediter but.... I can't remember where it was or is.

    Home Sales UP 11%....

    I think that the reasons many will haul their freight is because it has to do with the control we have at that point. Most of this was done without our approval, many don't like loans or intervention like it happened but by hauling the freight, we control some little part of it - and in many...

    Atlanta tearing down last housing project

    If this was all about health care, ok I would agree with you but it goes to the culture of the country. See OVM, unlike almost every country in the world, we do not take an oath to a person but principles. Those principles make this country run and one of them is the use of our labor not to...

    Home Sales UP 11%....

    Witness, yes. Business is business and by taking a load from GM or Fiat, it has little to do with supporting their products through the sales of them. OVM, GM knew exactly what they were doing, they knew what was going to happen, and there is no reason why the Obama administration needed to be...

    Hope and Change

    This is the point many are making. If he was really and truly a scholar as the media has pointed out, then he should be the first to know how to react and how to handle the situation. What his reaction was, came right out of the activist play book to garner attention. Many speculate on his...

    Home Sales UP 11%....

    I won't buy a new GM or Chrysler product, I do not believe in a company like GM that screws their shareholders and debt holders through the courts. I refuse to shop at Kmarts for the same reason - the company screwed the employees and the people who beleived in the company. I will go to Walmart...
