Phil, that’s a very very interesting statement you have there. I think that it can be applied to some of the issues that have been brought up in the past about recessions and the niche of this industry itself – do you think?

I am confused (actually playing Devils Advocate) I read a couple days ago something about the expediting niche not having to worry about the Mexican trucking program. Is this true? Should we worry?

Yea, I read the follow up to the pilot program, the surveys they took a few years ago and the proposed rule changes but there are too many gaps I can see. I know that the Fed's are not the one's pushing this but the companies. This means that they can do more shifting the blame to the drivers in...

Well I recommend going here for the info on OAs http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ There is a lot of info about OAs on the site and there is a page to explain what an OA is all about. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/whatisoilanalysis.htm

Mrgoodtude “You know its funny I really expected my comment to blow up the post but it sat dormant for a whole day.†Well I was busy being a pseudo father today after sleeping in after spending a day in Canada – glad the parents came back for their kids, I was about lock them in the...

Locked?

Jack, We are not talking about gasoline, but alcohol. It is really easy to make and can be used in a lot of vehicles. Many have been making it for years but you have to have a federal permit to do so since the repeal of the 18th amendment. One thing I think is an absolute scam are...

OK seeing Panther does not require a CDL for a van, how about when a state says that to transport Hazmat as a commercial carrier you have to have a Hazmat endorsement?

Dave, Thanks for the info. I guess the thing I am looking for is the regulation that specifically talks about electronic log books and the removal of responsibility of the driver to the carrier. I read the cases in court but no where did I find the mention of the validation of the systems as...

Cheri, Dealing with some of these people directly, there is no other way to stop it. We don't have the facilities to lock them up and with the courts today, protecting your kids in situations like this is to me and many others not vigilantism but justified in many ways. We should not only lock...

Al Qaida is not a purpose or a radical way of life Ah, right? Yes it is a complete and truthfully a radical way of life for those who want to kill. You know I offend a lot of people when I speak of 9/11. I p*ss in a lot of soup when I point out that there are too many people forgot what 9/11...

It's not sugar free but compared to soda it has 135 calories vs 150 and it has 24g total carb w/ 22g sugars compared to 40/40 for soda so it's 10% less calories and 40% less total carb and 45% less sugars. It also has vitamins a, b3, b5, b6, b12, c, e and calcium. It's not a health drink but is...

Dave, To expand on this a bit One of the issues I have is that the person who is driving the vehicle is totally and completely responsible for their own logs – this is one gap. There are a lot of issues with just maintaining the data in a safe and accessible manner with many carriers, some...

Well the antenna I got is sitting right next to my keyboard in the corner of the room away from the windows - please don't tell me that this is not normal. Also I got to say that this XM thing is still, well, not an exciting thing yet. Having it up and running has forced me to; • Learn who...

Well, yea! I have one jar left out of my uncles last batch and one freshly 'aged' jar that was given to me last week - I think it is now 90 days old, maybe past it's prime? When I married my wife, I told my new wife that we are going visiting and she is not to refuse the stuff offered to her...

My wife thought she was doing me a favor and bought a case of Lipton green tea, well there sits a case of tea because I can't drink it. I can't have sugar, so most of these drinks are nothing but sugar, aspartame or other chemicals so it tastes like something other than preservatives. "the...

Well this is a mess. First things first, the question - how long do you stay out for before going home and how long will you stay home? For me it is as long as I have to, over 11 weeks the last trip out and I hope to stay out when I return from my vacation till Christmas. It is not a...

tallcal101 I just got back from a load in Toronto and was looking for the post, what happened? - who was offended? I wrote a sincere note to you, and I am put off by pulling the entire thread. Anyone? (hint Moderators)
