>We've both met turtle one could never accuse him of sticking >his neck out!!!! arf, arf,arf:) Aren't we off topic now? :P

I don't disagree with the past 8 years but I have to say if we really depend on an Oscar or the tainted Noble prize to indicate anything like leadership, especially from a person who is truly a poster child for hypocrisy (with a few others), then the country and humanity is in real trouble...

No Tallcal, you got it 100% wrong. Let’s ask Carter, Vance, Muskie, Civiletti, Young, McHenry and Brown why they allowed unchecked growth of terrorism in the Middle East. Why they pulled support from The Shah, Mohammad Pahlavi, and allowed the country to fall and be the center of terrorist...

You know, when you actually look at the candidates, there is no one out there – all empty suits. I won't vote for the traitor McCain and his chance of getting into the real race is nil unless the others all die in a horrible bus crash. Giuliani is not what I would consider my first choice...

OVM, I see the problem I am just being truly sarcastic. I also see that many companies can't figure out how to be competitive in today's market and they shore up their "we are the best choice because we can get it there faster" attitude with stupid changes like this. They really should not be...

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Police fired tear gas and clubbed thousands of lawyers...... Lawyers being clubbed would make a lot of people happy here in this country.

I don't have either, just a plain KW 9000 multimode 2 meter rig which I used once since on the road. I don't have room for my Heathkits (kinda' takes up the entire sleeper) or my drake (new/used t4b and r4b) which actually will serve a dual purpose of heating the sleeper and letting me talk, so...

I mean no you are not the only one. I had an offer that when I refused came back with increased mile, then the next time it was offer it was was reduced mile and the third time it was offered it had the same miles like the first one. This was sitting on the side of the access road to my drop...

Phil, do you work for FedEx? OK really after the day I had yesterday, I have to revise my comments. This by the way applies to two companies, not just one. This may sound that I am angry, I am not – I am just using it for effect. Training dispatchers to be better and get them on the road...

OVM, What's the problem? I can't see a problem. You're in a van, so 47 or 50 or even 55 should not be a problem for you, should it? As for the economics of it all, the higher the number the quicker the load can be quoted and the quicker the load can be quoted will give more leverage for...

"Growing up in a pretty dysfunctional family, I've heard a lot of truly dumb ideas, (some of which may even have been mine) but this one is in a class of it's own..." Like using both hands to get the pickle out of the jar?

Thanks, I thought about this the other day, how far behind trucking technology actually is. But nothing replaces driver's experience and training. And by the way I like this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4lSZl7NpdU

I prefer percentage because it seems like I have made more money with it. After comparing like trucks with other companies who receive a fixed rate, they never seem to get exactly what they are supposed to but some sort of reduced rate at times and sometimes higher. Many of us concluded that...

Front seat zombie? I guess I got a new name. I sit in the front seat because of my back, just like I am doing right now. If I ever get a new truck, it will have a real seat that swivels and cab curtains so I can enjoy my movies in a theater setting. Moot, Yes sticking those bodies in an...

Phil, There is an old mind set that forums are open for a reason. When we restrict them in any way, they no longer are open. The word CENSORSHIP comes to mind. You know even though the thought of a single post within a 24 hour period sounds inviting, the point is that the real success of...

I agree with Moot even though I don't need it, it sounds like a reasonable request to me.

Sorry, we don't need any more communist and no more unions. He was a front for the Pope and his group to free Poland and admitted to it. I don't deny that this was effective in bringing the change in government but the solidarity movement of the 80's is dead and will never be resuscitated. The...

RE: Give me a break.....Give us a break...give exp Burrp................ pass me another beer

Now I got to say that when you drop $50 or $75 for a meal, there should be no kids messing up the evening. I think I don’t ignore things when I go out, like today sitting having breakfast, one of the waitress’ took her break got a cup and poured a cup of coffee and sat down next to me...

OMG, you kiddies are so...... IATITMACFOI! I ignored this thread all day long, maybe I should have dropped into it earlier when I was in a foul mood? My comments may sound very sarcastic and caustic but... maybe they are? First thing is, I am a Phil basher according to some from my...
