    The Trump Card...

    A lot of people think that's absurd. The same people think that "voter fraud" only means voting more than once or impersonating a registered voter in order to vote. Those types of voter fraud are, like they all say, quite rare. The other types of voter fraud, like like manipulation of ballots by...

    The Trump Card...

    Even the media does it when rebutting (instead of reporting) Trump. Trump says violent crime is up in the 50 largest cities, which is true. The media "fact checks" him and goes, "Not true! nationwide the violent crime rate is down!" ... and the beat goes on

    Correct. Winston Churchill once said, “Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes you must do what is required.” We're not doing what is required.

    You nailed it. We aren't that great. We're still good. Don't get me wrong. We're still the best there is. But that's like ordering your $150 Kobe Beef ribeye medium rare and getting it well done. It's still pretty tasty, but it could certainly be a lot better.

    The Trump Card...

    I thought I laid it out so that it made sense. I guess not. My only suggestion would be to learn as much about both candidates as you can, learn what their motivations have been historically. Then draw your own conclusions.

    They have these rules that so often get applied hard anf fast without any common sense or intelligence. Part of that is because if they don't apply the rules, and something bad happens, their job is at risk. So I get that. From what I understand, ever since ABF bought Panther, a little common...

    If he had done that, the media would characterize it as pandering. :D

    The Trump Card...

    And many of us don't confuse the two at all. Many of us can point directly to the bad legislation and policy changes that have been detrimental to the country and its citizens. President Johnson's Great Society was a set of domestic programs aimed at, among other things, end poverty, feed the...

    If that's what you want to believe, then yes karma got him. But just the same, the charges, including the charges of witness tampering, were dropped. Go it. No, I didn't miss it. You believe in allowing the police to make sentencing decisions, including capital punishment, without having to mess...

    He deserved a death sentence for having been charged with crimes, only to later have those charges dismissed? Wow. Would a white man deserve the same thing? (That's rhetorical, as I already know the answer). He has traffic convictions for speeding, operating a motor vehicle without insurance...

    The Trump Card...

    You can hear it when he speaks, if you don't listen too closely, yes. If you listen through the filter of a partisan EQ, then you're gonna hear whatever you want. Trump's already got quite a bit of power and influence, that's not what he's after. He's already powerful, and has a big ego, and...

    Have you ever heard of such a "policy"?

    That's exactly correct. Panther has always had a list of very specific criteria that affects board position. Moving your truck has never been one of them. ;)

    Before Obamacare insurance companies were capped on how much and how fast they could raise premiums. Obamacare removed that cap.

    Yeah, I remember how easy it was to do swaps at Con-Way terminals. Easy in, easy out. I also remember the load at Panther from Norfolk, VA to El Paso, TX that I knew was gonna swap, and I tried to make it easy as possible by letting them know that Jackson, MS would be a good spot. They said...

    The Trump Card...

    The fact that the Washington Establishment, the Republicans in particular, don't want Trump to be president, is perhaps the most compelling argument that he should be the next president. The Establishment wants someone who will play ball, be it Rubio, Bush, or even Clinton. Look at how many...

    non cdl truck?

    If by "HazMat" you mean hazardous material which requires placards, yes, you need the DOT numbers displayed on the side of the vehicle. If the load requires placards, then as xmudman noted, you need the entire caboodle kit. You may have touched on it with the "classification specific" question...
