    Yeah, $500 million may be low. It really does not matter, the federal government has NO business in business and should not be taking borrowed money to invest is a shaky business.

    The regulations MUST be taken into consideration by anyone who is looking into this business, or looking at buying a truck. How will they affect you, your business? What happens if you find yourself unable to drive due to health reasons? What is your back up plan? Is there enough money set back...

    Police Recruiting Video

    Let's assume that this recruiting video is real and not some elaborate hoax, how could there be anyone who would not find this disconcerting?

    In service, turning down loads that are paying more than $1 per mile LESS than they were last year at this time! Pay down, costs up! Gotta love it!

    Police Recruiting Video

    There is big money in illegal drugs only because the feds have made them illegal. MMMMMMMMM? Could that "war on drugs", be waged by the feds, being used for other things?

    Police Recruiting Video

    " Communities have lost control of their departments." I would take it one step further and say that the People have lost control of their governments. Federal funding, of local and state law enforcement, it how the feds get around Constitutional distribution of power and force direct federal...

    Police Recruiting Video

    I am under the impression, could be wrong, that the federal Dept of ED has a S.W.A.T. The local librarian would likely have an AR style, if Federal funding is involved, standardization of ammunition. :p

    The truck is as ready as it can be. We are all legal, all lights working, and go back in service within an hour.

    Police Recruiting Video

    I take each officer on an individual basis, IF, I have the chance to do so. I trust NO "police" or "law enforcement", department. The higher the level, as in local, to state, to federal, the less trust I have. Government, is by it's very nature, prone to becoming oppressive. It may start out...

    I was wrong!

    We tend to refuse those loads, for two reasons, they tend to pay much lower than our normal freight does and we cannot stand working the 8/2 clock. It is VERY tiring and messes us up for our normal work.

    That will give you the heebee geebees. This is why we need our citizens armed, to be the check and balance to a government that is hell bent on total control The "camo suits" are called "Ghillie suits" and those just look like normal long range scopes, not particularly "state of the art". The...

    "The 80/20 rule comes into effect here. 80 percent of the workers will show up, barely complete the job requirements and whine about their pay while 20 percent of the workers will work hard and work smart to get promoted into management and get the bonuses." I agree with the above thought but I...

    It depends on the State and the zip code in that state. We were forced into a BCBS plan that costs more, and covers less, than the old plan we had. The OLD plan covered more, including sleep stuff, the new plan is stuffed with mandatory crap we have no need what so ever for. Gotta pay for...

    NOT ONE of the ObamaCare plans that my wife could buy in our part of Michigan cover sleep tests and few, if any, covered CPAP.

    The point was that laws are not needed, personal responsibility is.

    Fatigued Driving

    I don't believe that rules, law or regulations, or the lack of them or enforcement is the problem. The problem lies with the driver. It is the drivers responsibility to be in condition to do the job. That includes being awake.

    Tucker Carlson defends Truck Driver in Tracy Morgan crash

    It is, without any doubt, the responsibility of the driver to NOT fall asleep at the wheel.

    I am VERY happy that the problem is resolved and he is working again. As to the name calling, as hard as this may sound, it's true, no one ever died from that. It's a hard, tough world, there is nothing new under the sun. Just deal with it and move on.
