    The Trump Card...

    Is it "LOL" because his offerings pale in comparison to the freebie goodies offered in Clinton ads?

    T-boned, now what?

    Only a Mod can delete a thread. Sucks about the accident.

    Anyone who knows who this guy is knows how funny and ironic the Amen is. :D

    The Trump Card...

    When you're a candidate for an elected political office, unless you've previously been professionally involved in politics, you are a politician only in a very limited sense. You're more of an apprentice politician, like someone studying to be a butcher, baker or candlestick maker. But really, a...

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, probably not. I don't read Wonkette much anymore, not since shortly after Rebecca Schoenkopf took over. From the beginning Wonkette was always a liberal, left-leaning Website. And that's fine. But it was always smart, witty and funny regardless of your politics. That's because they never...

    I think this is just laugh-out-loud funny. :JC-hysterical:

    how many miles in a day?

    The key isn't regional offices, but available trucks near the swap point to which to transfer the freight. Swaps can be made at LTL truck terminals and several other places that have forklifts. Also, an available truck must be willing to go where the load delivers. Picking up a load in Detroit...

    how many miles in a day?

    The NHTSA and DOT have actual data that disagrees with you. They monitor and keep track of this stuff. Do you think they are unaware of the existence of cargo vans and how many miles they drive? 1) Anyone can pick out exceptions to the rule of risk. Yes, cargo vans who push the limits are...

    how many miles in a day?

    The transit times are really irrelevant. The relevancy is, as independent contractor you're the one who gets to make that call, accept or refuse, based on your own criteria. The forced dispatch of Safeway removes the ability to turn down a load that in the opinion of the one driving it would put...

    how many miles in a day?

    Based on the information contained in the OP, it seems clear enough that it's Safeway Expediting. It's what first came to my mind and is why I replied in the manner in which I did. Far as I know, Safeway has broker authority only and has zero registered power units registered with the DOT. I...

    Germany bans the internal combustion engine

    Well, yes and no. The first known electric car of any kind was 1828 by a Hungarian. In 1834 a Vermont blacksmith came up with a small electric car that he ran on an electrified circular track. In 1835 the first car powered by non-rechargeable batteries was developed in The Netherlands. The...

    Germany bans the internal combustion engine

    The internal combustion engine will die all on its own without having to ban it or making a martyr out of it. Also, these things have a funny way of backfiring, i.e., the law of unintended consequences kicks in when we meddle too much. All laws, no matter how benign they may appear, have...

    how many miles in a day?

    "So let's be stupid about things!' There was a time when trucking wasn't regulated. Stupid got it regulated. I wonder if he has even remotely the proper insurance for those vehicles. I'm guessing not. Vehicles under 10,001 pounds are not regulated by the DOT, as long as they are not hauling...

    The Trump Card...

    If you watched the premier episode of Westworld on HBO last Sunday (second episode was last night just before the debate), you know what the entire episode features flies on the host's (robot) faces (well, about 4 or 5 scenes), and them not reacting to the flies at all. In a later scene we see a...

    Lunchable recall

    The Ham and American Cracker Stackers front packaging is correct, but the back of the package (where the ingredients and nutritional information is) is the packaging for the Nacho Lunchables, which of course do not contain wheat and soy. Somebody loaded the wrong roll of plastic packaging wrap...

    Melania Trump at the debate Melania Trump's pussy-bow silk crepe de chine shirt at Net-A-Porter for $1,100. I do love a good irony. :JC-hysterical:

    As per the CoC, links to another site that provides information that helps answer another member's question, that furthers discussion of a topic, or is just of general interest to members on that particular topic, are fine. Posting a multitude of "here, look, I found an article that supports my...

    I realize that you're trying to Jake Tapper me and put a different meaning on what I said, but my comment in that regard was completely unbiased. I said his history as a businessman and and developer is by definition a civic virtue. I did not call Donald Trump virtuous. They are very different...

    A thoroughly biased rendition of the debate. Good job on ferreting such a needle in the haystack of impartiality.

    The Trump Card...

    I dunno, either. I clicked the link more than once, and got a 404 each time. Did a Google search for the same article, got the same..exact link that you posted, and it worked just fine. So, weird things happen.
