    Remembering the Iranian Hostage Crisis. (1979-1981).

    Obama, and Carter, are both idiots. Obama got those people killed in Benghazi. Carter KNEW the embassy was going to be attacked and, did not defend it, OR, get those people out prior to the attack. Carter, and Obama for that matter, should be in jail for what they did, and did not, do.

    Father fined and gets probation

    OMG! A WHOLE MILE? How did the poor kid live through that? In Hawaii too? That BRUTAL weather! What a crock. A mile is NOTHING for a kid, or at least it should NOT be. Then we wonder why there are SO many obese kids. I walked about 1/2 mile, each way till grade two, when I started walking a...

    june 1st

    It's easy, I get paid what I need/want for ANY given load, or it does not go on my truck. Can't get any more simple than that. IF it gets TOO bad, BYE BYE! It's just not worth working more, for less, as expenses, and the regulation burdens, increase.

    Scanners

    They had to take my already wrecked dashboard apart to work on my Clink. It is NOT going back together. It is toast. New parts ordered, going to cost a zillion bucks or so, like $2500, but at least it will be fixed. There is ANOTHER electrical problem, they say that was likely caused by the...

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    The problem is that not enough "juniors" are not taken behind the woodshed as needed. Too many parents today are more concerned about be their children's "friends" instead of parents. They are two very different roles and when one chooses to become a parent one should accept that responsibility...

    This waiting period!!

    That is correct. You have to request that the drivers be taken OOS.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    You know, my grandfather on my dad's side started working, full time, in the coal mines at age 11. You can bet your boots he had to work with more than 23LBS. I think my dad started in the coal mine in 10th grade, more than 23lbs too. My grandfather on my mom's side started in the mines at 15...

    Sorry to hear that. Breaking down anytime is a pain, under load is twice as bad.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    Everyone is here for their own reasons. Formal education, or lack of it, is hardly a defining factor.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    That kid better be paying attention or he will end up in jail. Sounds like he needed his butt kicked a LONG time ago. Yeah, gotta worry about all those in here with college degrees who are driving trucks. Sounds like paying attention to studies has little to do with why people go into this.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    That rail was likely low speed/heavy weight rail. Most likely it was the same rail that we used at the steel mill, 120LB rail. That rail is approx. 120LBS per linear yard.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    I cannot imagine a normal kid, when kids were kids instead of couch potatoes, NOT being able to lift, and carry, AT LEAST 50% of their weight, most more. That kids was only 3 years younger than most who got drafted in my day. IF they could not carry 23lbs, by 16, they would likely have MUCH...

    20 Top Things not to eat and why

    I was likely eating kimchi before you even heard of it. I am NOT a vegan, I am, by nature, and ALL evolutionary processes, an omnivore. Grains are what we use to FATTEN up cattle. Prey animals, those at the BOTTOM of the food chain are, for the most part, vegans. Their job is to turn plant...

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    23lbs? Carp weigh that much. I would have made him bust up the video game first, THEN hiked his butt off and had him carry the rocks. 23LBS and a few 3 mile hikes are not going to hurt a kid. That was well within the normal bounds of everyday play, when I was 6 or 7. Kids today are wimps. Lazy...

    Slick Willie got one killed in Greece and nothing was done. ALL of these scumbags that get elected are allowed to get away with all kinds of crap. Most of them did not have the stones to do the dangerous work themselves. Then again, that is how it often is.
