The Marine Corps just landed a top tier recruit, my son. Forgive this father's pride if I babble on. My son, Ross, will report for basic training at Parris Island,SC in two weeks. He signed a four year contract to drive and operate tanks. A quiet, polite, unassuming young man who graduated...

I suspect there will be a nationwide phenomena of gagging and puking on Tuesday. Change is coming. A change from which we may not recover.

I will not be watching the leftist takeover of our country on Tuesday. No television that day, except maybe the Weather Channel. There is no joy in Muddville. Go outside and play with the kids, build a snowman, read a book, organize the sock drawer.... anyone with me?

Would like to add a few names of singular talent: Alison Kraus, Patty Loveless, Roy Orbison, Roger Miller, Bob Seger, Mark Knopler, Tracy Chapman, Janis Joplin, Steve Earle, Shenandoah, Rolling Stones, CCR.

Primarily XM radio channels 121, 165, 168, 171 and WLW on 173. For music... channels 7,8, 23,24,25, 46 and 49. One could infer I am a right-winger with a penchant for 70's rock music. Such an inference would be correct. Also, XM's weather and traffic channels are fabulous. XM is such a...

I am 20-25 years away from retirement and working with a distant time horizon. Because I hope to give another 20+ years to this industry, I am perplexed by the submissive types who say are willing to embrace nonsustainable freight rates. There is no logic in such an operation. It is slow...

My truck was paid for in cash and my expenses are low. Also, my wife has an excellent job. I will go into "winter hibernation" and sit on the sidelines before I operate at cheap nonsustainable rates. Why wear out your equipment at rates so low you can't keep up with fuel and maintenance...

Roadie... I don't understand your implied support for rate cuts. How long can owner-ops sustain themselves at exceedingly cheap rates? It merely postpones the inevitable for many. I suspect many who advocate working at nonsustainable rates are desperately upside-down or in arrears with the...

Don't give an under-performing carrier a year of your life. Corporations do not have a soul. Regardless of their rhetoric, they care not one bit for you or me. Find a carrier that will honor the rate you contractually accepted. Cutting rates is a shot acrooss the bow to owner-operators...

Bad analogy. Poor taste. Not funny. The use of vulgarisms is so unnecessary.

Try DTH Expedite in Atlanta, they cover mostly local and regional freight.

Antwolf... I sent you a PM.

HI T.Hawk... I was unsuccessful in my attempt to link to the site you suggested about Arrow Critical Supply Solutions. This was the License and Insurance Warning site. I am near making a decision to lease on with ACSS but need more input from people like yourself. Please send me a PM giving...

My sympathies to the OP. I just got stiffed by a fleet owner who refuses to pay my last two weeks of pay because I took a local job over the Thanksgiving weekend without giving the truck owner two weeks notice. I informed the owner that two weeks notice is a courtesy, not a legal requirement...

My disgust with the UAW prevents my ever considering the purchase of their products. When the UAW is gone, I might buy an American made car.

JFK was a conservative Democrat by today's standards. He cut taxes and was strong on military matters. By no measure can Obama be considered conservative.

So Obama is going to bankrupt the coal industry? No coal means there will be no steel. No steel means goodbye automobile manufacturing. And of course, Obama said he realizes electricity costs will skyrocket under his policies. Has anybody on the left thought this through? I just can't see...

Luckily, we don't have riots in Kentucky. We don't allow thugs to congregate in large numbers. Riots are mostly a phenomena of ghetto neighborhoods. Are we getting a ghetto friendly president?

Whatever became of Michelle Obama? Has she been silenced until Election Day has passed? Quite the rabble-rouser wasn't she... an angry, bitter woman hellbent on denouncing the United States and her citizens. Oh well, we will soon reap the whirlwind of her wrath towards white Americans. Throw...

Colin Powell's endorsement was timed for maximum effect to demoralize McCain's supporters. It's a malicious betrayal by a man picked from obscurity by Ronald Reagan to be his national security advisor. As a protege of Reagan Powell was put on the fast track to four-star general and several...
