Exactly the point I was making. A contractor's business is in large part dependent on the decision reached by a complex computer system. If there is no reasonable explanation for that decision based on known criteria then the contractor is led to the "temptation" to fill in the blanks. It...

That is the question I hear over and over from Fed Ex CC drivers. Then the conversation turns to many different theories and guesses about what the system is doing and how the dispatchers must be manipulating it. This almost always ends with accusations of favoritism. This problem is...

Homosexuality was and still is NOT the norm; therefore, sexual deviancy remains a correct term regardless of the reason for a person's sexual orientation. Revisionism cannot change that label; however, political correctness can make it an unpopular term. ;)

You are wrong. This is well researched and documented. Below is one example out of many on this subject. Your assumption on this can be dangerous thinking because parents could easily let down their guard when letting heterosexual males have exclusive close contact with young boys...

The ad I saw was specific. $1,000.00 sign on bonus for tractor trailer DOD qualified. I can't remember if it said teams but I would guess it did.

Frozen water! It is too friggin cold up there and not meant for human habitation. :confused: Why sit your frozen butt on the cold ice waiting for a fish to come by?? You could live in FL and actually use the water. Spend the day surfing, skiing, sailing or go deep sea fishing etc. :D...

That's a hoot! Can I borrow that? That said. Are you going by the arrival time on your GPS?? Because the GPS has no clue that there can be slower speed limits, traffic lights,traffic problems, weather delays, construction, bathroom stops, fuel stops etc. and that is what the time "built in"...

Good question and very relevant since it is part of the criteria that may be used to determine our BMI and our fate as commercial drivers. The use of neck circumference as a risk factor is the result of a generalization. In general, a large neck circumference is due to the build up of...

This begs the question. Why not give the number of temp control and T-Val trucks in an express center on the VRU. This little bit of additional information would help the reefer trucks make a layover decision. Just sayin.

You stated that drivers are not able to “plan” the day out, not able to work within parameters, work in all kinds of conditions etc.. These are all valid reasons for the difficulties that drivers face when trying to improve their health and fitness. They can also be used as excuses as well...

Switching Carriers after so many years must have been nerve racking. Good to hear that it is working out.:) One Carriers loss is anothers gain, huh?;)

Excuses, Excuses. Getting exercise and eating healthy is directly related to your ability to make it a priority. I can only imagine the time it takes to think up and write over 11,000 posts on this forum and untold posts on other forums. If that much computer activity can be accomplished...

Good to know.:D I will add them to our short list with others like: Fort Wayne (Dennis), Crow's in Memphis, Carrier Richfield OH, and Jeffersonville, IN.

Since much of the talk on this forum centers around our recent losses in freedoms, this might be relevant: "(April 6) -- How free is "mostly free"? The Heritage Foundation, a self-described conservative think tank that espouses a free-market, small-government ideology, today released its...

My first suggestion of the new year! Credit goes to Layoutshooter for this one Dear FECC powers that be: Please make a commitment to safety by implementing a program to identify important weather hazards involving road closings and other major delays then notify trucks in that region...

In a purely academic sense I will concede to the Shelled one's interpretation. In the area of human motivation and acheivement I am glad that the popular interpretation of goal setting has included hopes and wishes. Uncontrollable variables can make any "goal" seem unattainable if they are...

I am having trouble finding ANYONE who is happy with this bill, much less anyone who understands it. Some are happy with certain elements of the plan (ex: pre-existing condition coverage) but nobody including the Axx clowns who passed it knows what the ultimate cluster will be in the end...

There is an option on the VRU for suggestions. I am sure it goes directly to . . . umm . . . . uh . . . . hmm . . . who knows:confused: Oh, I just remembered! There is a suggestion box thread on the FECC forum that some delusional contractor put on there. I am sure that the FECC executive...

Gee, can't tell you how many times I have thought that when approaching questionable weather. Have you made this suggestion through the appropriate channels whatever they may be? BTW. I can never get a good signal on my verizon air card during those times of crisis. What is your method of...

I too am not a lawyer; therefore, I am basing my opinion on the advice given to me by one. The laws regarding patient abandoment (like most laws) are open to interpretation by a court of law. That is why it has become the recommended protocol to release a patient by providing at least: 1)...
