    PII Poll

    Well, the only viable options are "who cares" and "Change it now", as there is nothing that cannot be improved upon. The other two options are the same, "Love it as it is" and "Keep it the same"? Who came up with that??

    Van Choice

    I chose a Sprinter because I can stand up in it. I got tired of getting dressed while doubled over. My previous van was a short wheelbase E-350. Loaded with 2 skids and I had no place to sleep. Unloaded and I had to build a bed every day. With the Sprinter I can haul the same 2 skids and have a...

    No, young people died in cold blood in their classroom because a brain damaged young person with a history of mental and other problems was allowed to wander around unsupervised. There is no skirting the issue. Removing guns treats the symptom, not the cause. And the cause goes far, far deeper...

    Well, the Constitution doesn't grant us the right to vote for the president, but it does, specifically, grant us the right to vote for the members of the House of Representatives. The president and the senators are chosen by the states, in any manner in which they choose. The states determine...

    Let's add another tier to the cake of disrespect

    I'm shocked that we haven't yet seen a reply ripe with sage advice and brilliant alternatives. Shocked, I tell you. :D

    Reply from Pilot Corporation - Shower Procedures

    I'm with ya on that one, Phil. The different colored towels is a great idea, but what bothers me most about the reply is,"He has responded that we do not use "soiled" towels and washcloths used by the customers,"and yet, they do. That's precisely what we see time and time again at Pilot. We see...

    1st Outs

    There's undesirable, and then there's undesirable. Here's a 350 mile run to New Orleans. No Thanks. I'll give you a First Out! Uhm, gee, a First Out in New Orleans. Sweet. <barf> As if dangling the First Out carrot for New Orleans suddenly makes the deadhead afterwards to Houston, Memphis or...

    I just want to know when it was that an automatic weapon became reclassified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Was I sick that day? Did I miss the memo? In any case, I'm not sure what guns laws we're talking about that need an overhaul. the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be...

    the real Hillary

    Hawk, yeah, I know. I was just responding to the part where it said her "main extra-curricular activity in law school was helping the Black Panthers," stated to imply as if she was somehow actually involved with the case. She wasn't. No leg work, not even ankle work. I did forget to point out...

    the real Hillary

    It'll be awhile before they confirm or dispute much of anything. They tend to be rather thorough in their investigations. But yes, the video is there. It can be seen here YouTube - Message from President Clinton It's not really a question of how much of the article/essay is factual, as some of...

    the real Hillary

    Just so you know, though, not a word of that was penned by Dick Morris. Just a cursory glance will tell you the writing style is not that of Dick Morris. Plus, Dick Morris has written very little that wasn't picked up by most all of the major media outlets. He sells. Nary a snippet of any of...

    Using Freight Brokers and UShip for back loads.

    Every time you haul cheap freight to cover relocation costs, not only does it keep cheap freight around, it pushes down the other rates, as well. It amazes me how so few people can actually see that. If you take a load to an area where you will likely need a cheap freight backhaul to get out of...

    Are Recruiters Really the Lying Scumbags Drivers Say They Are?

    It's probably just a figure of speech, but since you have used the same exact phrase twice, by quoting yourself, I'm gonna respond to it by saying, I suppose it was real thoughtful of you to go out of your way like that to give them a "chance to respond" to something that they'd be caught...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    Dunno. Make sure you are actually showing a manual First Out on their screens. Oftentimes you have to ask (remind) to make sure they give you one if you have it coming. Call 'em and find out. Then, ask why the other driver got the load and not you. Helps if you know the other van's truck number...

    Wow. First of all, nuclear weapons are offensive weapons, not defensive. They are defensive only with regard to a deterrent against others using them against you. Mutually Assured Destruction, A.K.A. MAD. "If you launch your nuclear missiles at me, I'll launch mine at you, and we'll both be...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    I don't think the IT department at Panther is competent enough to design a Go, No-Go screen. They still haven't been able to figure out how to differentiate between a driver with a perfect record and one that is late every other load.

    Drivers Council Meeting

    "As a first step in the communication process, we are instituting a “Panther q&a” which is a recorded message from the executive team at Panther addressing relevant issues in the expediting environment and answering some of the questions submitted via email by drivers and owners." Silly me for...
