It all depends on the type of truck and what carrier you run for. Florida is normally good for our truck. We do well going in and well coming out. We seldom sit for long. California CAN be good but not always. We have got hurt by coming out here. I am hoping we don't get stuck this time. The...

It is fun to work on problems like this. The answers to today's challenges are likely to come out of these kinds of musings. It will be some guy in his backyard that finds the answer.

We need a "safety net" of some sort. I don't think that the federal government is the right entity to provide it. The idea of just handing out money is wrong. ANY assistance should require work, work that does NOT take away work that is already being done by someone else. It would do NO good...

Not only is it a joke but they are an insult. So are log books. I am MORE than capable to determine when I am too tired to drive. Fixed HOS make for a MORE DANGEROUS operating environment. Fixed hours do not take into account that everyone is different. While one team can run perfectly on a...

As long as we are using EBOR's we are controlled as to what we can do with our trucks on our OFF time. Now, here is an example of how absurd the entire thing is and how these devices are NOT about safety. !. Deliver a load to a location on Friday morning with a pre-dispatch for Monday...

The mindset of the "modern liberal" (different from a Classic liberal) is NOT to help but to create dependence to further their control of the people. Nothing more. Welfare as we know it today MUST be done away with. It is working all too well, creating a class of dependent people who are...

That guy I hunted with this year says that he believes that his case load would drop by 85%.

How much would that large of a solar array weight? How would it affect your GVW? How large a battery bank would you need and then there is that weight to contend with as well.

It's spring. That is how it is.

Well said Greg. Another real life example. My wife's mother was the daughter of a share cropper. That family EARNED their way out and have done well WITHOUT government assistance. It CAN be done but you have to WANT to do it.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I wonder if she WAS being required to drug her kids? Does CPS need a warrant to enter a home? If not, why not? What would give them "special" authority to enter a persons home? I also wonder if we will ever learn 100% of the story.

I have NEVER said that the poor are lazy. I know MANY hard working poor people who EARN their way through life, would NEVER collect food stamps even though they can, and refuse any sort of help. If I ever get the chance I will introduce you to a man that I know, disabled vet, who is a case...

Naw, Leo is a human being.

This is only the beginning. It is going to get FAR worse. It would NOT surprise me to see a LOT of armed thugs at the polling places during the 2012 election. The closer the election the more likely it is to occur. Not prosecuting the "New Black Panthers" for their thuggery in Philly last time...

You got that right!

OH you have NOT run into some of the shippers that we have. Some get down right NASTY if you show up early. One even called me a wordy dird once!

;) Good career move!

It can be tough. In many cases if we show up early the shipper is angry or there is no place to park. We once had a pick up in NYC. We were told CLEARLY not to show up early. SO, we left much later than we thought we should, hit bad traffic, did NOT make the pick up time. Not counted as late...

Is Elvis still dead or did the aliens return him to New Mexico? :p
