    Big Truck Company jobs?

    Even if you drive for a fleet owner, you're still likely to have the fuel expenses. Standard split is 60/40 with the 60 going to the driver and the driver paying fuel and tolls. Fleet owners well know that drivers will idle 24/7 and deadhead all over Hell's half acre of it's on someone else's dime.

    Bernie Sanders Musing In A Tweet.

    Placing people in "A big beautiful safe zone..." in their own country isn't quite the same as casting them out, and is instead precisely what Bernie wants - steps to protect children and families.

    Big Truck Company jobs?

    In other words, in expediting, you'll be an independent contractor running your own small business, instead of an employee. It's important that you adjust your mindset accordingly.

    Bernie Sanders Musing In A Tweet.

    I'm pretty sure we don't cast out refugees. I suppose it's possible, like anything else, but I've never heard of any being cast out, anyway. Every refugee is in this country legally. We do, however, cast out illegal aliens.

    THE HOLIDAY DINNER

    Didja know that chicken, beef and lamb, as well as oats, all have slightly more tryptophan than does turkey? Sesame and pumpkin seeds have twice the amount, codfish has 3 times the amount, and egg whites have 4 times the amount. When you get sleepy after stuffing yourself after a big turkey...

    Going from B unit into straight?

    Nick and Jenny also made the jump. They're are others. You'll definitely have more load opportunities in a straight truck, as there are more straight truck loads out there and less competition for those loads.

    Yeah, it's hard to review a movie without talking about it a little. It was tempting to just go with, "It's awesome! Star Wars rulez!" and be done with it, but I realized I'm not 14 years old anymore. The "spoilers" above aren't really spoilers, they're just broad-brush type stuff. You'll...

    The Ted Cruz And Kids Cartoon.

    Attacking a politician's minor kids, instead of the politician, is pretty lame, no matter how involved and visible the kids are in the campaign. Because, like you said, kids can't understand what's going on. If they're 18, then it's a different deal, because they can participate or not...

    OK, I haven't seen it in the theater, yet. But I downloaded it off the Internet. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It's not just awesome, it's beyond that. It goes back to the original Episode IV: A New Hope in many ways. In some respects it's in too many ways. It's a sequel wrapped in a remake...

    Of course, it's not just because they can get payroll done a day or two early, either. It's throughout the year. When little glitches pop up and you inquire about them, they're all over it, as if it's the most important issue they have that day. That's pretty amazing.

    I still have it, but it's been tempered a bit ever since I experienced Edmonton at -42°F and winds exceeding 50 MPH.

    I did get another call after delivering in the oil fields. I was able to say "No" to that one without having to really think it through. It was picking up in a little town just south of Minot, a town of 331 people called Max, ND. I had just driven through it when I got the call, and the only...

    With natural gas. o_O "Many oil drillers are unable to direct the flow of natural gas coming off wells into existing pipelines, which already are at full capacity. They have no choice but to add a flare at each site with a well. The result is nearly a third of the natural gas produced in the...

    Schlonged. Tooled. Penised. Fu****. The DNC Schlonged Hilary in 2008 in favor of their golden boy Obama. This time around they are schlonging Bernie in favor of Hillary, by putting on these debates at times when no one will watch. Hillary has much better name recognition than Bernie, and the...
