Hi Tallcal101 Well, well, well you have lived to discuss another day. I for one have missed your commentary, even though we don't agree on much politically. Still, you make me think about different perspectives on issues and that's a good thing. You're a living, breathing paradox...

Barack Obama served as a US senator from January 2005 to November 2008. Upon his election to the presidency in November, he resigned from the Senate. It would be accurate to say he began seeking the Presidency after only 143 days as a US senator. But, he was a senator for nearly four years...

No doubt time takes its toll. I'm thinking most expediters are probably older ( 45-55 years old) when they start in this industry compared to the average age of new entrants in other lines of work. Given they are older from day one, they are working with a shorter time horizon. This...

Throw in the ubiquitous roll of duct tape. 16 foot nylon rope or chain with metal hook on each end. Maglite flashlight with fresh batteries. Basic survival gear and a flare gun. No this is not a hostage situation... it's winter expediting.

TS462, I'm with you. Cheap freight can rot on the dock.

Parked at home with a load delivering in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Monday morning. Just prior to that, had a load going to Chico, California but it cancelled. Dang. I like going out West.

Started expediting in October, 2001.... I notice there seems to be a huge drop off after the ten year mark. I wonder what accounts for that? I love expediting.

Pilgrim, I agree with your assessment of Michael Steele. For a Republican to attack Limbaugh is political suicide. Like him or not, Limbaugh is the de facto leader of conservatism in America. He has proven himself reliable over two decades where he has been at the forefront of the...

Borrowing more money overseas does not fix our enormous debt problems. It is exactly the wrong measure. Increased productivity produces wealth. It's not a difficult concept. There is more common sense to be found in your local barbershop than in Washington,DC. The Dow took a plunge...

Chef... doctors and nurses have free choice about what type of medical practice to engage in. If the federal government threatened to withhold federal payments to them, they can simply opt out of doing any work that depends on federal funding.

There is no possible way unwilling doctors and nurses could be forced to perform abortions. Only those already in the abortion industry, and those willing to be trained, will be performing abortions. This issue is an emotional powderkeg and no minds are likely to be changed through argument...

Heaven just found its new announcer.

You got some snow coming to ya, RLENT. Winchester is lovely draped in white.

The Ford 6.0 was a disaster. The earlier 7.3L is extremely reliable. Why Ford wanted to toy with a proven performer is beyond me. Guess they were trying to meet some new EPA standards. For this very reason, I am looking at Sprinters and GM products.

Inky... that's good stuff.

Respectfully I ask... what is a Sprinter? Neither fish nor fowl. Looks like a super-sized 1976 AMC Pacer jacked up on steroids. *L* Just kidding, there's a Sprinter in my future. Hopefully.

Today, I finally got a letter from my son in Parris Island. He described Marine boot camp as "tough as hell." (I tried to tell him that). He said he and his fellow recruits just finished a four hour course on bayonet training. How can anyone talk for four hours on bayonets I wondered...

Mae West lives!

Turtle... those are very respectful photos. Beautiful in their solemnity. I suspect, but can't be sure, they were taken by a military servicemember. My concern is giving editorial control over to MSNBC and their cohorts. We live in an open society (I think) so despite my misgivings, it's...

Yeah , he is a *#&#!! socialist. I din't agree with many Bush policies and even fewer Obama policies. I just hope allowing families the choice of media coverage isn't exploited by the likes of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as a tool for left-wing propaganda. The left has a long...
