100% correct. both about what you saw in Germany AND the first 26 weeks. I was talking about the extensions, THAT is welfare. As to the "S" corp and all that, I am honest. That says it all.

Maybe they could put on island on the truck side that could have the smaller nozzles for diesel and one gas pump for you gas guzzlers. I wonder if there is enough business for that? You know, not only expediters but other commercial accounts.

You are right. As long as he is on his 26 weeks that is paid for by the employer, it is fine. AFTER that, when only tax payers are funding it, he, or anyone, should NOT be receiving more. Once taxpayers are covering it, it is no longer unemployment insurance, it is another form of welfare. In...

I sure wish I had one on my truck. That is a very good tool to have.

The point is, you get laid off from an employer that pays into the unemployment fund, you get 26 weeks. That is it. Taxpayer money should NOT be funding more. Why is a PHD special? They can get laid off, they get 26 weeks, they are done too. Period. Why should we hard working business people...

So MY taxes have to go up and the deficit has to grow? Unemployment was never meant to be another redistribution of wealth plan. Once you have used up your 26 weeks, which is NOT tax payer supported, you are done. Period. As to the rest. If one has to do what ever is out there, everyone should...

OK, is there anyone out there that can built "TRUE" custom built laptop computers? Ones that you can get the type and number of ports, processors, screen types etc? In other words, NOT just the cookie cutter places you see on line.

Yeah, but you are "OLD SCHOOL" and, despite your choice in shorts, you take pride in yourself and fulfilling your responsibilities. THAT is the difference between a responsible adult or between a REAL MAN or a boy.

It is a "libtard" socialist term. That bunch teaches lazy and the idea that everyone is "owed" something. They encourage people to be bums and reward them when they become bums. That is how they control people.

We finish up at FedEx today, then we have to head home. :( We planning on being back in service today but a stubborn electrical problem is acting up on the truck. I am losing lights. I have NOT be able to pin down where the problem is, SO, we will put the truck in the shop this afternoon. Darn...

No problem with that here. People are just too dang gum lazy these days. Yeah, I know, it is bad out there. Jobs are NOT a plentiful as in times past. That is nothing new either. I got laid off on a regular basis in 1973-76. At one time I was laid off from 3 jobs at the same time. I worked...

Yes I do. So many think that they are owed this and that. WalMarts are NOT a truck stop. They are a store. IF they allow you to park for extended you should not abuse it. As to the reward cards, that is a marketing thing, they are out for your business. That is one of the ways they go after it.

We should all keep our areas clean, where ever we park. If we use a cart, return it, CLEAN. These stores are not to be used as free parking lots either. They are a business and should be treated as such.

Yep, we as an industry cause a lot of our own problems. I think that 50% may be a bit high. Leaving carts in the way is not only truckers. People today are very lazy and will NOT walk a cart 20 feet to the rack provided. That is a problem across the board.

Greg, you are right. People today are just plain spoiled. Too much easy living for far too long. So many have forgotten what real "needs" are. Turn down $12 an hour? Cut them off right then and there. Not out looking for work? Cut them off. Not willing to move for a good job? Cut them off...

Not only police officers but our society as well.

I thought that is what I said, I do what it takes. It can be this business or 3 or 4 jobs. The ONLY thing that I am owed is what I EARN and the right to KEEP IT!! The biggest single thing in my ability to meet my needs is the government stealing far too much of my hard earned wages. They have a...

Yep, you are right. Too bad.

You can't fathom what my "living" wage is!! In reality, I know what I need to keep up with my obligations AND move forward. I will do what it takes to meet those needs/wants and goals. If that is this business, so be it. If not that, whatever it takes as long as it is legal and meets MY moral...

I think that Michigan does have the death penalty for cop killers. That may be the only crime that Michigan has it for. Not sure. If convicted I hope they fry the bum.
