    Should I get C and D class truck

    If you put a lift axle on a truck with a 16ft box, you will still be a "C" truck. You have to have a minimum of 20' of usable floor space to be a "D". Things seems to have changed from when Greg was with FDCC. His reefer work only amounted to 8% of his work. Our reefer work is 63% of our...

    "Entitlement" is a dirty word

    People who accept "aid" are NOT free. They are dependent or "subjects" of the benefactor. In other words, owned. Same with States. Government "grants" come with "strings" attached. When the government wants certain behavior, they just "pull the strings"

    "Entitlement" is a dirty word

    We need more people with the idea that welfare, similar programs, are SHORT term, and should be PAID BACK!! Like James Braddock. The idea of taking aid from the government should be repugnant to most people and looked upon ONLY as a LAST resort. There are, for the most part, two types of...

    Gas Prices, Ouch

    There is SO much that COULD be done to lower prices. The problem is that our congress AND president don't WANT the prices lowered. They are deliberately taking steps to insure that fuel prices remain high.

    "Entitlement" is a dirty word

    "Entitlement" is NOT a dirty word. Everyone is entitled to what they EARN. NO ONE is ENTITLED to others wages or charity. That goes for freely given charity or government FORCED charity. The idea that someone is "entitled" to the fruits of someone else's labor is absurd.

    Gas Pump Sticky Note Protest

    There are a multitude of problems that are contributing to the mess we are in today. INCLUDING NOT developing our own resources. Michigan needs to completely redo it's entire tax structure from top to bottom. Won't happen. Too many wimps in our legislature. Too much OLD thinking and an...

    Should I get C and D class truck

    If you are just starting out in this business I suggest that you do NOT start out by buying a truck of any size. It is not always the best route to go. If you are not able to pay cash for the truck you are "stuck" with payments starting on day one. What happens if you get out here and find...

    Gas Pump Sticky Note Protest

    It is not ONLY the low interest rates that are helping to cause this problem. It is also the billions of "fake" dollars that are being printed to finance the run away spending that this congress, with the "blessings" of King Putz the 1st are slamming the country with. As the value of the...

    Requirements for Fed Ex CC

    WE play for PROFIT!! We are NOT in business to be paid tourists. We constantly are changing what we are willing to accept to stay in the black. There is only ONE thing that never changes and that is the fact that everything is always changing. You have to be quick and change with it.

    Half and Half. Obama can't lose.

    Stupidity is a LARGE part of the problem. The Dingell thing is a GOOD example of stupidity in action. Elitism is the main building block of extremism. I have made it quite clear to my NEW Michigan Rep that when it comes time to redistrict that our area be taken out of Dingells district and...

    Half and Half. Obama can't lose.

    The ONLY way ANY candidate can get more than 50% is if 100% of the registered voters vote! MOST people elected are elected with 30% OR LESS of all possible votes. That is a SAD picture of our political system and that is EXACTLY why the extremists and freaks have taken over BOTH political...

    Requirements for Fed Ex CC

    As it has always been. FDCC suits some, not others. Same with Panther, etc. As long as FDCC suits OUR business needs we will stay. IF we get a better deal, WE BE GONE!. Simple.

    For The Gun Enthusast

    The first deer rifle I ever bought was at a Kmart. It was a WWII surplus 8MM Mauser. I "sporterized" my self. Paid $25 for it. The first gun I ever bought on my own was a Remington model 572 pump .22 with a cintzy 150th aniversery stamp on it. Paid, I think, $60 for it. I was 15. Road my...

    For The Gun Enthusast
