I find it scary because we have lost our understanding that education is about learning, not social engineering or unions. These countries mentioned, India and China don't flourish just because of their education system but because of their language. The complexity of the language is a key to...

Well then Phil let it sit and wait until someone else tries to clarify the question or better yet craft the question in a way that explains what you are thinking that effects us and what it is you are asking about or what you are thinking. You threw out this big amount of information and...

Let me see - I bought a flashlight, it worked great in the store with the expensive batteries I bought with it. It lasted all but 10 minutes and I brought it back for another. After doing that three times, I asked for a refund and was told no refunds on electrical products. Then the manager told...

Which one of us? Leo, I should have added that about the 14 hour cycle but the question was about drive time. I didn't add pre/post trip or as Doug mentioned inspection time.

I am answering for me. A break is relative to the situation, if it is a matter of getting there and only getting there, when I fuel up, I have my food within arms reach - snacks. I am self contained so I have my toilet and everything else, so pulling over into a rest area to do my business is a...

When you look at the landscape of America's businesses, you see failures all over the place. One of them has been with the Mega Banks and I guarnetee you in the near future the other will be mega medical companies, like Pharma companies. I worked at the worlds largest Phama company, I know...

Big John, Let me ask you these two thing; Would you rather tell the truth from the point of view of an experienced expediter who started as a solo or even a team and struggled to make it, telling a possible newbie in order to prepare them for a hard time and the same struggles? Even taking...

Maybe having a flooded basement and no sleep has caused me to just not get that, what are you driving at?

I don't know how it happens but here how it doesn't. 1 - I will go back to the insurance issue. It has to do with risk mitigation, where they look at the risks of putting that truck on the road. Having a CDL for any commercial work actually shows that the driver has taken steps to understand...

IF GUNS KILL PEOPLE,THAN PENCILS MISSPELL WORDS,CARS MAKE PEOPLE DRIVE DRUNK AND SPOONS MADE ROSIE O'DONNEL FAT I like that, it speaks volumes of truth.

Many of us have said this for a long time but ignored. AND the market is not expediting but transportation. Aren't you the guy who was a driver than a broker than got bought up for billions and then disappointing and then came back as a driver or broker or something else than an owner...

Sorry guys, I see a half full thing here. There is the ever lasting question of what material the container is made of. In this day and age would you actually have glass around in a truck or van? Maybe using a plastic container would be a more modern approach to it, is the plastic coffee mug...

Well from a states rights point of view, the way the system works is that the states have the right to pull out of the union based on their treaty with the US government. The US government doesn't own a state and when a state is up for statehood, there is a treaty that is signed with the US...

I share info on my success. Here is what I see from my experience as a solo owner/driver - former fleet owner. The company matters a lot but it isn't why you would think. The question is how they fit into your goals and plans, not if they are good for solos or not. A lot of solos work for...

I had the same problem and it turned out to be my antenna. Some of the antennas were supplied by some Chinese company and there is a seal that is defective in them. It doesn't let water in but moisture and it plays havoc with the signal.

I love this comment ""When you have 50 employees, as much as you are responsible for holding their hands, you just can't," Mr. Rybicki says." Well Mr. Rybicki, ever hear of Fraud? It was your company who set the loan up, it is you who are totally responsible for your employees so it looks like...

Tallcal I sort of agree with you but..... Some of this stuff with the SEC goes back to LBJ when he tired to change some of the banking regulations behind the scenes and even FDR. Somewhere in that mess, under Kennedy (Old Man Joe) there are some pretty weird regulations to help out the good ol...

Pjjjj, Some time ago there was a discussion about the margins on the price of fuel, most thought it was 2 or 3 cents but these places are making more like 15 to 20 cents a gallon if I remember right. Their mark up alone on the food items is like 60%, slimjims are a perfect example, I can go to...

According to someone else, I've been failing as an expediter. :p Well I looked for my big workshop manuals for the G series van and think I lent them out. I was going to look at the wiring diagram to see if it is simple two contact switch that can be bypassed or if it is another over engineered...

Their excuse is the same as the excuse why they are not bringing the Duratorq engine to the US - not enough are going to be sold to justify the cost. Diesels do sell but the company looks at cost instead of slaes building. The real problem with Ford is that they don't think like their direct...
