    Cargo Van Should I even worry about not being Sprinter-high?

    Referring to brokers/carriers as pimps is crass and lacks class (not that the trucking industry is particularly refined and classy, though). When you refer to your pimp, you're telling everyone else you're a :censoredsign:. But besides that, pimp/broker isn't even analogous, as pimps generally take 100%...

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    The max pic size is currently 1.625 MB. I'll bump that up to something larger, probably large enough so that most phone images can just be uploaded directly without having to edit and resize them (but large files will still be automatically resized down for display). It requires editing a server...

    Oh, it gets even better. Wendy's - Phoenix, AZ Jan 30th Burger King - Morro Bay, CA Feb 2nd Jack-in-the-Box - Tucson, AZ Feb 3rd You'd think a memo or two would have gone out after it happened the first time. I guess they figured the current crop of publicly educated store managers were on...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump didn't propose a 45% tariff on goods coming into this country. It was a threat to China if they didn't behave. He said he would tariff Chinese-made goods, because they do it to us, ad he came up with 45% because that's the tariff that China places on certain goods imported from America...

    The $15 Minimum Wage Will Kill Jobs. Should You Care?

    One interesting thing we've seen in places where the minimum wage has been raised raised in places like Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles is, employees are asking for fewer hours in order to remain on government assistance programs.

    Dumb :censoredsign: on the road

    Being charged with "improper firing of a gun inside a motor vehicle" implies there is, in fact, a proper way to fire a gun inside a motor vehicle. I wonder what that is.

    The American Education System

    Sometimes I really do do it because I want a Five or a Ten back, or not a bunch of change. But often, most of the time, I do it just to mess with them. :D Back when I managed restaurants, particularly at McDonalds, one of the first things we did in training was sit in the break room with a new...

    The American Education System

    Checkbook? Is that a dating app or something? I like to mess with them. I buy something and it's $5.23. I hand them a $10 and as they are punching in the $10 which tells them they need to give me back $4.77, I hand them a quarter. All they need to do it hand me back a $5 an two pennies...

    The American Education System

    Here it is. From an elementary school math test. The math problem in the picture below deals with Reasonableness. In mathematics, reasonableness a rough and easily mentally-calculated estimate, often referred to as a "ballpark estimate." It can help to predict the numerical range the final...

    Not a single sleep deprivation study shows that you can function effectively and safely when driving on not enough. Just because you didn't have a wreck and kill yourself or someone else doesn't mean you were functioning safely. When you're sleep deprived, or drunk, you believe you are fine and...

    The Trump Card...

    It's even worse than that. They can just change the rules to suit their needs, just like they did to prevent Ron Paul from getting to a second round of voting. There was a lot (I mean just a snotload) of delegates who were Ron Paul supporters but were pledged to Romney. If things had gone to a...

    Good or bad idea?

    Saw a report the other day where the "news" person was just freaking out over this. "OMG! How many times do people leave their cell phones behind in restaurants where some child can get a hold of it?" Uhm, hey lady, it's not a cell phone.

    Same here, only I became an expert at catching alligator gar, instead. Actually, became an expert at extracting hook, line and sinker from a gar. :D

    Yup. It's not the polar ice caps that are the biggest problem. If they melted we'd see a 200 foot rise in sea levels. As this very kewl interactive map and these maps shows what the Earth would look like if all the ice melted. The National Geographic goes a little overboard when they state...

    Headed to Panther!!!!

    Back in the early 70s I lived in Ft Lauderdale and we'd go over to the Everglades all the time to fish. I'd seen a couple of them, but nothing like that video. Once we were fishing from one of the canal banks and there was a cougar on the other bank, and another time we were in a boat and one...

    I believe you. I have heard the same thing. The news is full of panic and misinformation, the merchants of chaos are hard at work. The one about New Orleans being an island is the one that cracks me up the most, and I've heard it several times, because you'd think these reporters would have at...

    Indianapolis Flying Jburns!

    The fire started at, on, or in the grease barrels out back of the Denny's. Those grease barrels usually have spilled grease on the outside of the barrels and on the ground, so the fire could have started outside and then moved into the barrels themselves. The cause is still under investigation...

    Well, first, icebergs are already in the water and have displaced all the water they're gonna. Fill a glass with ice and water, and when the little icebergs in the glass melt the water doesn't overflow. Same thing happens with big icebergs in the ocean. Icebergs are pieces of freshwater ice that...
