    a new truck

    I guess, they are not as heavy as say a Cascadia. I think you could consider them maybe a 7.5?

    They Won't Close the Chicago Locks....

    Somebody needs to "fix" those locks so they can never work again. City people are so foolish. They will help to destroy the economy of several states, help to cause MAJOR damage to an ecosystem that they are a part up and then scream about out lawing hunting and back Obama because he is so much...

    a new truck

    I have a M2 M112 business class. I will never own another M2 again. To light a duty truck for expediting in my opinion. They start to rattle quickly. They have far too many cheap plastic parts that break easily too. IF I ever buy another truck it will be a class 8 truck. No class 7's or 7.5's...

    Refer D-Time...reduction

    I understand that Phil, with any luck it will balance out. It cost us a LOT last year. One trip we spent 3 days running our reefer when the road was closed and we could not move. (NO additional pay) Several times we would bring our reefer down, or up, to temp, sit for several hours and then had...

    Refer D-Time...reduction

    I love the pay cuts. If the owner of the freight or FedEx is not willing to pay for the fuel we burn to protect the freight that freight must not be worth protecting. Maybe we should just shut down our reefers during the hours that they don't want to pay for.

    What holds America together?

    "Demanding classes being taught in Spanish? Where exactly is this happening? I know Glenn Beck told us not to use Google, but I Googled, "Schools required to teach in Spanish". I couldn't find anything. Can you point me in the direction were I might find this information?" This federal...

    Ron Paul seeks vote to end foreign aid

    The only way they are connected is in the way we look at them. We, as a nation, tend to try to handle problems in a short term manner. Put a patch on the problem quickly, then we can work on it later. We never do.

    Ron Paul seeks vote to end foreign aid

    I said I would have to look a what kind of aid was going to whom. I never said that I would not cut back on or cut out aid in any region. Every problem we face in this country is the result of decades or centuries of mistakes. They will not be fixed in one or two years. They are long term...

    Ron Paul seeks vote to end foreign aid

    I have no problem cutting down and some day eliminating foreign aid. I would, however, go at it in a different way. I would first cut ALL payments/aid, of ANY type to those who seem to be our enemy. Like Russia, Venezuela so on and so forth. With all the unrest in the Middle East I would be...

    Thousands protest anti-union bill in Wisconsin

    Yep, I have always said that but there is nothing I can do about it. IF I don't pay that tax, they come after me, ARMED, to make SURE I pay it. It will be the say if this health care garbage is not overturned only now I don't care, bring 'em on!! That is EXACTLY what I told Dingellberry.

    Thousands protest anti-union bill in Wisconsin

    I have NO problem with a Phased out system. The government has been stealing that tax money from hard working people with the "promise" of returns. It should have never been put into place. It should have NEVER been FORCED, like health care, at the point of a gun. We had NO option to for go that...

    barrys campaign arm involved in Wisc. Labor riots

    They won't do that. They would do similar things if they had the chance. No honor among thieves. And there is NO bigger den of thieves in this country than our politicians.

    Two TSA Agents have been charged for stealing!

    It was kind of funny. It took about 6 months. After passing all of the "tests", back ground checks, physicals etc. they offered me the job. I laughed at them.

    Two TSA Agents have been charged for stealing!

    They have a VERY interesting system for hiring. At least they did about 8 years ago. It was FUNNY!! So was the pay. You got to start at 25 hours a week. Split sifts, 4 hours in the morning then 2 in the afternoon. Buy your own uniforms and pay for your parking at the airport. All for 12.85 per...

    Thousands protest anti-union bill in Wisconsin

    I got a MUCH better idea. DO NOT pay ANYTHING to bums who spent their entire lives on welfare and did NOT pay into the system. Realistic? We send hundreds of billions to places like Haiti, for AIDS in Africa and so on and so forth. Then have NO problem ripping of those who worked hard, paid what...

    Thousands protest anti-union bill in Wisconsin

    "Start cutting people off who are making more than twice the poverty level." Nope, if you paid in, you collect. It was not built as a welfare system. I would go further: two FULL benefit checks for husband AND wifes when BOTH paid in. No more of this stupid stuff where a wife, or husband...

    Barack Obama coming to UK on state visit in May

    Maybe he will get lost on his way, land in Moscow and decide to stay. He fits well there.

    John Walker Lindh doing well in prison

    I know quite a few disabled vets who lost body parts fighting over there. Maybe we could release him at a gathering of those guys. I would be MORE than happy to arrange that. :p
