    Federal Trucking Bailout

    There would not be a bail out in any way, the industry needs two things to get straight; It needs a serious change in the tax system - Fair Tax It needs to be trimmed The tax system is the reason we have companies leaving, it is not cheap labor or anything like that. It is cheaper for them...

    Who would make the best Commander In Chief ?

    Good question but the problem is McCain is not a leader, he is a senator. Obama and Hillary, forget them.... I stand on something that was said to me by a vet who got DSC, unless they reached high ranks military people don't make good political leaders. In the case of McCain, I don't...

    How many are Pro-War?

    Sorry Ratwell, this rubs me the wrong way. It is amazing to read this, who are these people and why should I care what they say? It shows me that they question the country they defended and what we stand for. It shows me that they don't understand the accountably of the entire country, not...

    The Pig Book

    But see here is the problem, they are trying to recoup the cost of something that we already bought -it really is not an asset but a throw away item. It don't matter if they are cheap or used, it matters that they are selling them instead of offering them.

    Flat Rate Pay Plan

    Whoa there Philly, there is no shifting of any subject. My post was in response to you coming out and pretty much telling me I am full of it without even talking to me to ask me what happened or why I am saying what I am saying. But really to beat all, I never mentioned favoritism in this...

    A look into the future

    For those who live in Michigan, maybe you realize what has happened and why I am so negative about living here. For those who don't here is a bit of news. First the background This state had two industries in it, automotive and health care. The former created the latter by having the...

    Stop Smoking Now!!!

    Nope you got it wrong, I am saying that the rights of people to do what they want to in their homes, cars and businesses is key to all the rights. I'm also saying that if we have a true democracy, this country is doomed. We don't and should never have it. The people who think we do better look...

    Fuel Prices

    The reason that the state reps does not care about them is what I said many time, they only care about people in their districts who are registered voters. Those petition websites that are up (2care and others) are actually worthless when it comes to transmitting issues to elected officials...

    Fuel Prices

    Good luck, I mean that. But a bit of advice from someone who knows - if you want anything to be of value, you got to make sure that registered voters appear on any peitition or roster. It is not an impossible thing to do but it is difficult. Oh just a wee bit of a suggestion, drop the...

    The Pig Book

    Crazy, what do you really expect? The pressure of the press, the pressure of the do gooder democrats, the pressure of the idiots who can't think for themselves all blaming one man, Bush. I would expect worst in the Clinton administration but here when we think of it, it was always a problem...

    fuel mieage

    Steve, The thing is, the performance is not a real issue for someone like me, I usually fill up and park for the night. When I get hot fuel, I fill up to the top of the tank and then when it cools I lose a few gallons of fuel due to contraction, even in the desert. I got a spreadsheet I...

    Flat Rate Pay Plan

    Steve, Exactly what I am saying, people have to look at the companies closely in order to make the choice that fits them. In my case FedEx was good until they made changes which allowed more options to the customer. I am not the only one who thinks this was a bad move, a lot have left over it...

    Stop Smoking Now!!!

    I understand what you are saying and agree with it in public places there can be some restrictions, this is by far the least of a problems with the public, but a private business is not a public place. I am not talking about a franchised owned by a public company, I am not talking about an...

    Flat Rate Pay Plan

    You know Phil, go ahead, hit your limit, who cares. I was not directing anything towards you and really got to think what is it that you are so d*mn worried about if I tell people what I feel happened to me and what I have been told. For the record, I didn’t fail, I simply didn’t...

    How do we....

    OVM, Let's see, the empire of the great Khan was the largest empire the world has ever seen, but the price paid for that was the slaughter of millions of people. It fell becuase Genghis died and the empire was handed to his third son who in turn also died and it became a mess form that point...

    Stop Smoking Now!!!

    So.... I find this really... well sad..... I am with turtle when he said "What will you do when we as a society comes for you?" This is my point. Here is the thing, the habit is bad, we are intelligent creatures, so let people decide but when it comes down to my home, my car, my property, I...

    Flat Rate Pay Plan

    This is the problem, it used to be. FedEx has moved to integrate some of the CC services they offer into other parts of the company, giving the customer options. A wise move that they do this to a point. The problem in doing so is what I describe last year is that some intake agents assume...

    How much does a dispatcher have to Invest

    well you know OVM, that is exactly true, one can't but when is it that one can determine what runs that can take and not take? Only when the offers are made. Steve is still in the best position of all of us, he has a high demand vehicle that crosses into all forms of freight, from the envelope...

    fuel mieage

    Steve, the hot fuel problem is still an issue in cold weather. If they heat the fuel, it will heat the fuel in the tank too and that is expanded fuel. The only way to tell is to take the temp of the fuel while it is going into the tank. I am wondering if you are doing the fill the tank method...
