    Rush Limbaugh attacks Michael J. Fox

    Fox has been very up front over the past several years that he goes off his meds when he goes to Washington to speak about his illness. That he did so to campaign is no shock. I think Rush really stepped in some doggie-doo this time.

    Hey is this all true? Iraq really coming around?

    RE: Hey is this all true? Iraq really coming aroun Well Cheri, you got one thing right. Those "God hates :censoredsign:s" people are MORONS. I knew it was a small church, but I had to laugh when I heard recently just how small. It consists of the Phelps family. Being descriptive isn't necessarily name...

    Van (A-B unit) questions

    MDB1, your post was like deja vu all over again. I last attended MATS in 2000 or 2001 and went to the same booth you did and asked exactly the same, straight forward question you did, and instead of a simple answer got into the same word game. The result was the same, that we should cross. My...

    Van (A-B unit) questions

    States do have the right to enact laws that are more strict than federal regulations. Having said that, most of this is a very gray area subject to interpretation. Anybody that stopped at a scale or called the DOT got the opinion of the person that they talked to. You could easily stop at that...

    How to find hot freight area?

    An area that is usually good for your carrier can also dry up from time to time. There certainly are basic guidelines to follow but no guarantees. You will sometimes get great loads out of an area you would have thought you had no chance. Luck is a big factor.

    Cost analysis for expediting

    I doubt that all companies are telling you that you will get 100% of the fuel surcharge as there are many that don't do that. You will get A fuel surcharge from most. AS to the rest, you are right about variables.

    RE: Anyone Turned Back For Paperwork Not Being Cle TeamCaffee, you don't have to return to the shipper, just go back to Canada. You should be able to fix the problem over the phone.

    How cheap is cheap

    This is some form of a catch 22. We all hate cheap freight, and we all hate to sit. How often should we empty move because we beleive in our principles?

    Public schools, shootings and knee jerk reaction

    RE: Public schools, shootings redux The Scotland thing isn't really that big a shock when you take into consideration that whiskey goes along with the golf. They get liquored up, get POed after hitting some bad shots, the next thing you know they're burning down the town.
