    Ticket prices slashed

    Sure, it's about medical services costs and what they bill the insurance companies. Hospitals and clinics, like any business, have costs of operation. They also have customers that pay and customers that don't. If I'm in the hospital, that $40 Tylenol pill just might be a bit less if everyone...

    Gotta love it!!

    I was in Orlando hoping to not deadhead out because, you know, it's Florida. I get offered a load picking up the next morning just north of Miami going to South Carolina. Awesome. I load the freight, get 40 miles up the road and the phone rings. Crap. Take the freight back. The only good news is...

    The Case for America's Future

    So, people that have contributed their whole working lives get nothing because they've been financially responsible enough to have a comfortable nest egg? That's just so wrong. Rich or not, you deserve a return on the investment. There should be an "opt out" option for all entitlement programs.

    Which Straight Truck?

    While most don't need full-on RV style, a larger more comfortable bunk is an asset in expediting. We all experience waiting for the next load from time to time, sometimes longer than we would like. That, along with extended periods out, 2 to 3 months in my case and longer than that for some...

    Many happy returns...

    There is a radius, I think 100 miles, so you couldn't use the per diem once you're that close to home.
