    Looking for a lease purchase opportunity

    They had one of these at the expo. My take. Truck may be suited to just running back and forth across the border. Truck I seen had only a five speed and not suited for a OTR application. The fuel costs would kill you. No air ride. Not recommended if you have a history of hemorrhoids...

    barry said he could fix these muslim hostillities....

    It is amazing what new information comes out after a little time. Libya is saying that the attack was pre-planned for as much as a month. Probably so if they are showing up with RPGs and all kinds of assault weapons. Movie was nothing more than a afterthought. Funny though, only a week ago at...

    Obama, least intelligence (sic) president yet

    Quite frankly they are both pretty bad. With regard to that time line, the apology bit came from the embassy and then supported by the state department. Once the White House got wind of it, they said it wasn't the White-houses position. It is amazing it comes out on twitter, and then vanishes...

    For the Obama Supporters

    As mentioned before, I like opposing views. Gives one a chance to look at something from other angles. Now for Cheri's post. With regards to investing, many of your investors are everyday people with pensions 401k's and so forth. Most if not many, can't afford high risk gambles. Now whether...

    For the Obama Supporters

    I'm just happy that someone pointed out a consensus of brilliant minds thinking alike.:cool: Just too good of observation to go unnoticed.

    US confirms ambassador killed in Libya

    Slick Willie will have to spin a good one. At their convention, John Kerry made the play for Obama being great at foreign policy, and look at the following week. What a disaster.

    50 New Straight Trucks

    With the volume of freight that CC does, 50 trucks would have little impact.

    US confirms ambassador killed in Libya

    But, but, Obama is suppose to be a expert on foreign policy? Apparently those apology tours didn't work out to well.

    50 New Straight Trucks

    Ummm??? $8000 off of what? That would be a intersting number if they bought them from dealer. Can't imagine them being cheaper than the original purchase source. Then again, it could be a "lease purchase" deal. We all know how those go. :rolleyes:

    50 New Straight Trucks

    Think I would go with ES based on this ad. 2012 Freightliner Cascadia C113 ASC&page=1 Homepage says they are just now getting them. Looks like some will be for sale. Can't imagine that price with them coming from a dealer.

    400,000 kids out of school, Windy City

    At the end of the day it may come down to that. Problem is, open the door there and every school district will have their hand out. Government is tapped out. California had their hand out and got nothing. They just closed schools and laid off teachers. That outcome could be coming in the case of...

    Costs of Leaving Panther?

    Turtle is spot on. I will add if you are seeking payment, make sure EVERYTHING is on that pro bill. If something was missed, call or file (via the web) a addendum. If no access, have the owner fill it out for you if necessary and you can track the progress to payment. If you failed to list...

    For the Obama Supporters

    Let me try it another way. If a private person/company had a investment that you knew was good, you would invest in that venture and make a profit. The government takes your money and invests in many things that you know up front are losers. Solyndra or the Volt comes to mind. No.....you are...

    Costs of Leaving Panther?

    Not sure. He hasn't specified what his problems were except for getting knocked out of service by mistake in which they fixed it.

    400,000 kids out of school, Windy City

    Doesn't matter what is fair. You have a school district that is over 700M in the hole with teachers currently averaging 76k with benefits. Average us teacher pay is roughly 50k including large metro areas. Average family income in Chicago is under 50k. Guess what.....you have NO money. If they...

    For the Obama Supporters

    Does make a difference. Private money is individuals risking their own money. Government has no money so they are taking and risking yours. Huge difference. If they are the same, then the government shouldn't be collecting taxes.

    Had to sneak over here and wish you a happy one. :cool:

    400,000 kids out of school, Windy City

    Marxism or stupidity? Kind of hard to decide. I was also surprised, well maybe not surprised that in addition to their pay wants, they also do not want to be evaluated for their job performance. This of course is coming from a broke school district that is ranked near the bottom nationally based...

    Costs of Leaving Panther?

    It always has a cost somewhere if you change carriers. If as you indicate you are making the revenue, then I would work their system a little as that shouldn't have a negative impact on your income. With just four months, I think I would give it a little more time as you indicated. If it isn't...

    US confirms ambassador killed in Libya

    Possibly, but you can't condone this kind of stuff regardless of whether something is shown or heard. If we follow that thought, should we bomb Eqypt because they burnt the US flag? I say no, just cut off their foriegn aid.
