    The Trump Card...

    Just for the record, a "false fact" isn't a thing.

    The Trump Card...

    The logic is feewings, not well thought out reasoning and fact based decisions. If you look at little children, how they react (especially to things they don't like) and how they go about getting what they want, then you will see the motivation of Democrats.

    The Trump Card...

    The same way that people in general should act. With civility and respect.

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, I caprice. I don't giva rat's ass if you're insulting someone directly or indirectly, dead or alive, talking to them or about them. You can be civil or be gone, don't care which.

    The Trump Card...

    Actually they were, and you even posted a link to support it. There is no carve-out in the Code of Conduct that permits the insulting of individuals or groups as long as they're not here.

    The Trump Card...

    You're right, doesn't mean anything. And as far as I know you've never claimed to be a Democrat. But you do express copious amounts of lefty liberal views. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Is this normal?

    Yeah, perfect timing for you with the Expo. That's the place to be. After all that's been said, if you want to learn whether or not you and expedite are a good match is to drive for a fleet owner for 6 months, a year. By then you'll know, and you'll know what you want out of a carrier and a...

    Is this normal?

    Biggest mistake you can make is developing expectations in the trucking industry based on your experience in gig economy delivery. Independent contractor is where the similarities begin and end. Heavy trucks are highly regulated by the FMCSA for the safety of the public, the environment, and...

    Is this normal?

    Lease is the correct term. The vehicle owner leases his equipment to the carrier, you lease your services as independent contractors to the owner. The 60/40 revenue split is the industry standard, with whoever gets the 60 paying for fuel and tolls (although most carriers will either reimburse...

    Gas prices

    My Sprinter got 22 MPG. But it's now dead. Unmercilessly totalled by a cold, calloused insurance company. It's not a certainty yet, but the prospect of outfitting another van and staying out on the road is not something I'm rushing to do, so I may get a job at home and just retire in a year or...

    Gas prices

    Gas prices go up and down regardless of who is president. US presidents have minimal impact on the world oil prices. Trump was a little different in that he was unusually involved in oil markets. FactCheck.org gave Trump credit for 25% of the world oil and gas prices, with most presidents having...

    One, please don't try and hijack the thread to make it about an individual member. Two, one doesn't need relevant experience or expertise to render an opinion. Heck, we even have people here who can read minds and know what's in people's hearts.

    President O'Biden

    And brain-dead easy to get at, too. But some people prefer the Fake News to the facts. Some people still believe Russia paid the Taliban a bounty on US soldiers. Some people still believe that Trump called white supremacists in Charlottesville "fine people." Some people believe Trump colluded...

    I personally know two people who have had the surgery. Both sing it's praises as improving quality of life. When quality of life is so dramatically improved it almost always lengthens life, as well. Neither had to go to through it a second time. Neither had any complications.

    There was not an inadequate supply, initially or otherwise. There might have been, had it been determined that hydroxychloroquine were to be the primary therapeutic for covid, but that didn't happen. Hydroxychloroquine is cheap and easy to make, so ramping up production to meet demand was never...
