This is a business that requires one, for the most part, to be away from home for long periods of time. All considering starting an expediting business should be sure to give this issue a lot of thought. This business is our only means of income. It does not matter how we "feel" about...

We are going to be at FedEx on the 4th of Jan. We are setting aside time to talk with some people when we are there. We try to do that every time we are there. This was one of the subjects we were planning on bringing up.

Congress sets 100% of the missions and priorities. The military has to figure out how to meet those orders. ONLY congress can spend money. It is 100% their fault. I understand the system is messed up. Start first where the biggest problem lies, the congress. Several places, although...

That could be it. The ONE load that we did get routing early for was a DOD load. They did email us that routing. It would benefit all of us if ALL hazmat routing was sent prior to picking up the load. They want us to leave as soon as loaded. On more than one occasion we have driven "past" a...

EVERY project I ever worked on STARTED and ENDED in Congress. NO high tech military will ever replace ground troops, unless you are willing to go all nuke and use them. By the way, we are in Japan for our work, not Japan's. They defend themselves quite well.

Everybody gets "lobbied". ONLY the congress spends the money. It always falls on them. They have the power to control things. They don't. The buck does stop with them. 100% of the blame rest with them. I recall that in October every year the "Wedgewood" shop on base would bring in a large...

So it sounds as though you think a "military man" is needed. Well, hate to ruin in the party and point out that huge frickin' pachyderm that;s sittin' here in the middle of the living room, but ... THAT TO A LARGE DEGREE IS HOW WE GOT INTO THE SITUATION WE ARE CURRENTLY IN I contend...

"I understand propagation and radio, I also know how it works and what the predictions for band opening are and where. " Good, then you understand that certain freqs only "land" in certain places. Collection of those signals HAVE to be done in those places. There is NO other way. Greg...

"Don't know but if it is intel, that can be worked out some other way. The CIA seems to be doing a good job operating where we have no massive amount of troops so I guess it is how we approach the issue and what we have to gain by it that will matter." Greg, CIA does not do that "kind" of...

Ideas and concepts have to be based on reality, not '60's slogans and fluff. I trust no one who has no real life experience. NO ONE!

Don't like Hugo, never have. Don't like "sayings" or "slogans". All talk. When push comes to shove, if these cutbacks and draw downs are done wrong, MILLIONS will die. Experience is the key. I have yet to see it in anyone you post about.

I don't watch "productions". I want cold, hard, unemotional FACTS. FACTS base on real life experience.

And his MILITARY experience is? I have little doubt he is serious. I have little doubt he has a functioning brain. I was not concerned about his party. I have NO idea if he as any idea about how to PROPERLY cut military/defense spending. Numbers guys scare me. They seldom have any practical...

You are correct.

I don't know David Walker's work. I would have to see "SPECIFICS" I personally don't buy that number. There are going to be costs that many cannot foresee. There are going to be "holes" that need filled that might not be able to be filled. Just because he is on TV means NOTHING. Oprah is on TV...

We will end up back in Iraq. We will end up back in Afghanistan too. I won't argue whether we should have went in at all or not, We will never agree anyway. We SHOULD have finished the job once we decided to go in. Are you pulling out 100% of troops in Korea and Japan? Do you know what all...

We have been told on multiple occasions that they do NOT give out the routing until the load is on the truck. We asked our CC about that and was given the same answer. We were told that was "policy". This one load was the FIRST time we had routing prior to arriving at the shipper. I have NO...

Mine has almost 8000 hours on it. I just got the water pump replaced but now I have a small oil leak. I hate to see what that is going to cost to replace all those seals. I would REALLY like to find a way to replace it. Darn things are just so expensive. TOO expensive if you as me. I can buy...

I think that your estimates on cuts in military and defense are out of line. It costs far more to play "pure defense" than you may think it does. 25% would be a far more workable number.

I know who's problem it is. All I was saying is that it is not our troops stopping it. I doubt if anyone in this forum is qualified to determine what benefit we are or are not getting to our defense from our troops there.
