    EINSTEINS OF HOLLYWOOD

    Leonardo once flew 8000 miles round trip, on a private jet, to receive an environmental award at the Riverkeeper Fishermen’s Ball, accepted it, then immediately flew right back. Then took a helicopter to his hotel.

    Switch from flat rate to percentage pay

    Generally speaking, yes. But as with most things, it can usually come down to the signed contract that spells out the exact scope of work, the amount of pay and how often it is paid. With new home or commercial construction, the subcontractor is going to expect to be paid upon completion of the...

    Best Divorce Letter Ever

    I knew I would be hated for this the same way Trump is hated by a Hollywood celebrity. But like the scorpion said to the frog, "It's my nature." :D

    Best Divorce Letter Ever

    Funny. But in the absence of a separation agreement or a divorce filing (or in most states, a finalized divorce decree), the lottery winnings are marital property, jointly owned by the married individuals.

    Switch from flat rate to percentage pay

    Here's a third side to that equation... When I hang a house full of drywall, I expect to get paid when the drywall is hung, not when the house sells. I couldn't care less whether the house sells or not. Privity of contract. <insert Jack Nicholson's Joker - "Whoop. Whoop."> :jester:

    I think 80 is the oldest I've run across, as well.

    March banter and locations

    "I’m sorry" and "I apologize" mean the same thing. Except at a funeral.

    The Trump Card...

    Senator John McCain on Rand Paul not voting in favor of Montenegro joining the NATO alliance: "The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin." Rand Paul on John McCain: "I think he makes a really, really strong case, you know, for term limits. I think maybe he's past his prime, I...

    Sprinter van questions

    If you want to make it home more often than the typical expediter, you need to sign on with a carrier that will use you to run mostly local runs in Michigan and down into northern Ohio and Indiana. The carrier that I'm lease to (Load One) is one such carrier that has a handful of drivers who do...

    The Trump Card...

    McDonald's is headquartered in Oak Brook, IL, a western suburb of Chicago. I don't buy the "hacked Twitter" story for a second. If anything, the account was hacked by the goober in the cubicle next to the Twitter Meister.

    I think so. Looks like 12 feet. I've seen that truck 3 times now. I just think it's really odd, and really kewl. :D

    The Trump Card...

    Just an FYI... The legal definition of "wiretapping" is the legal interception of monitoring of telephone and Internet conversations by a third party. The left (and the Press) want to keep this to the 1930s so as to constrain Trump's comments to only mean that of Obama ordering the physically...

    The Trump Card...

    Rachael got shredded on her own Twitter feed. My favorite is, "I've seen bigger scoops at Baskin Robbins." LOL By the time she got around to sharing Trump's tax return, it had already been supplied by the White House and published on The Daily Beast.

    The Fake News Depot

    Well, long term exposure is kinda proven, considering that people have been bombarded 24/7 by radio waves ever since the invention of the radio. Lightening generates high energy radio waves that can bounce back and forth between the Earth and the ionosphere, and can travel around the world, for...

    Opinions on driver cams and what companies require them

    I think for expediting, driver-facing cameras are a bit much. And out of the question for an owner/operator. I can understand it for large truck fleets in general trucking, like Schneider, Swift, etc. But even in those large fleets, since the cameras are, you know, a training and driver...
