    Global Warming Strikes CO.

    Yeah, one of the more stupid terms out there. Since the climate is always changing. The earth's climate has never been static. Their "global warming" scam fell short so they came up with a "new term" for the "lie". The worthless goobers!!

    Rate per mile?

    It would be an interesting thing to have all carriers list their cost per mile, just freight rates, no FSC or any other accessorials. For all size trucks. Have them post rates for both dry box and reefer. Any bets that this will happen soon? :rolleyes:

    Global Warming Strikes CO.

    Yes, ALGORE's global warming has struck AGAIN. Colorado ski resorts are being FORCED to stay open on weekends, maybe as long as through the 4th of July due to more than double the normal amount of snow this season. There has been heavy spring snow as well. Summer season sports and activities are...

    Big MESS

    Stay away from I75 going through Detroit. There is an overturned T/T on the Northbound side. Traffic is stopped at Outer Drive. It is back up all the way into Lincoln Park. It is going to be a mess for several hours. The freeway is closed at exit 43.

    UPDATE: The Freightliner/Western Star in Baltimore has yet to take care of this. They have only called me once. When I ask what is going on they tell me that they are "still looking into it". It feels like a "run around" to me. I will give them till the end of the week. I will call them...

    We pick up in Chicago on the 2nd, heading for AR. Worked out good. It is only a OK load but it allows me to go with my dad for his DR appointment.

    No, the labor issue is due to lack of skilled trained people. I have a friend that lives in Oil City. He has been out of work more than in work most of his adult life. He went to ITT Tech to learn welding. He was hired before he graduated. They need pipe fitters, welders, etc. Truck drivers...

    There is a huge BOOM in PA right now, going after those gas deposits. They are having problems finding skilled labor there now. Those deposits cover a lot of land in PA. Remember that the world's first commercial oil well was drilled in Titusville, PA. They started "fracking" those wells back...

    Women breaking barriers in Navy, not SEALs yet

    SEALS would not carry the heavy gear on a mission like they just pulled off. They do train for it and do carry it on some longer term missions. The thing is, in the Army, EVERYONE is infantry first and their MOS second. I was only 125lbs (no one would believe that now) when I went in. I...

    Unneeded right now. Should be left like an "ace in the hole" so to speak. There is also a lot of oil all over the country without messing with water at all.

    I guess it was the 98 pound weakling could do it all statement that led me to say that. Hand to hand is still a very big part of modern combat, my nephew is a few stories about that. So does everyone in that bunch that hunted with us last year. The 75-100lbs of gear would be hard on a 98...

    There is PLENTY of oil available without getting into the oil shales yet. Open up the Gulf again. There is so much oil there that it "leaks" the equivalent of 2 Exxon Valdeze spill EACH YEAR into the Gulf. Again, start making our diesel out of coal. It comes in about $60 per barrel. Oil...

    The Viking moved onto Greenland during a period of "Global Warming" similar to what we see today. They left in part due to "Global Cooling" All of that took place long before the industrial revolution. Nothing new under the sun. This has happened before and will happen again. VERY...

    Then drill for "free oil" not locked up in rocks. They won't let us do that either. They are fighting the "coal to oil" plants. No nuke plants, they don't want anything. Again, I don't trust those "sky are falling" crews. They ain't been right yet. ALGORE is a joke.

    Sorry, don't buy it. Like the "global flooding" that is going to happen. Just how high are water levels going to rise if all the worlds sea ice melts? They have been 'fraking' in PA for over 100 years.

    The problem is that the left wing "environmentalists" have a credibility gap. They have often made things looked worst then the might really, be, fudged data, made up data, refuse to recognize improvements that have been made and on and on. They once said that Lake Erie was "dead" and...
