    Honesty

    It's probably more like $25,000, but $30,000 certainly isn't out of the question. Just keep in mind the Rule of Thirds. If you can gross an average of $1500 a week (which is not as easy as it sounds), that will give you $500 a week. And $30,000 divided by $500 equals 60 weeks to do that. So, if...

    Syrian refugees

    That probably won't work. Not now, not today. Much like Marriage, Safe Zone doesn't mean what it used to mean. Refugee has also changed to mean Terrorist. ISIS used to mean ancient Egyptian god, and now it means jihadist. And if you have a really bad lisp, you can't even say ISIS.

    Stereotypes exist for a reason.

    A while back there was a condom vending machine in a truckstop restroom somewhere with a sign on it that said: JB Hunt Shower Caps

    The Thrill is Gone

    That's the one I was thinking of. Or rather, that's the one of which I was thinking. Hawkins had a hit with it, but I'm pretty sure that was before I was born. BB King, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, and Jimmy Vaughn, with Robert Randolph on the steel. As well, towards the end the riff raff...

    The Thrill is Gone

    "The administration’s Obamacare enrollment projections for the coming year are down, the projected cost of premiums and out of pocket costs are up, nearly half of the insurance co-ops associated with the program are going out of business, and UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest health...

    No excessive vacations

    Except he never actually promised to forgo vacations any more than he promised to forgo all his fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, or leisure. In that interview Obama went on to say that "the American people should have no patience for what’s going on in your head...

    Can your truck do this?

    I once delivered to Sylvan Lake Lodge, which is about 2 miles from that Needles Eye Tunnel (on Needles Highway, Hwy 87 in South Dakota near Rapid City). They have a picture of the Needles Eye Tunnel in the lodge and I asked about it. When you leave the lodge and then turn left to stay on Hwy 87...

    fuel card- advances

    First thing you need to do is get the terminology straight. While the truck's owner is indeed a contractor, so are you. Better to refer to the truck owner as the "fleet owner" and you as the "driver." Also, is the card an actual fuel card, or is it a Comdata card that you just so happen to use...

    No excessive vacations

    That's one of the silliest articles I've ever read. It even trumps the crap at Godfather Politics. The article conspicuously & conveniently omits that this POTUS's Budget (including vacations, per diem, lodging, meals, laundry, etc.) is appropriated by the U.S. Congress EACH year, and Obama's...

    Garmin Nuvi

    That one has the 3D Traffic. It's better than the old FM Traffic in that it updates every 5 minutes. The traffic information is still rather basic, for example, "Slow traffic ahead," "Accident ahead," "Construction ahead," etc., but it's still useful. The HD Traffic gives you much more...

    Garmin Nuvi

    Yeah, the 3597 had an issue with the Automatic Date & Time, as the screen mode (and brightness) was (still is) tied to the Time Zone. When it first came out, if you turned OFF Automatic, the screen mode (Day versus Night and then appropriate relative brightness) got tied to the only Time Zone it...

    Garmin Nuvi

    The old FM traffic was, as it turned out, only marginally helpful. The minutes of delay it would show was worthless, as it could show a 5 minute delay and it was really a 45 minute delay, or it would show a 30 minute delay and there would be no delay at all by the time you got there. It just...

    Thank you, high school drop outs, for keeping us safe.

    Syrian refugees

    Yeah, especially since 38.5 percent of the refugees are under 12 years old, 51.1 percent are under 18, and females outnumber males in every age category. Only if they severely limit their thinking by obtaining incomplete facts with which to do the thinking. The pledge and claim by ISIS only...

    Yes, the French have a spine.

    Q: How many bullets does it take to shoot out a door lock? A: On TV, one. In France, five thousand. Blame Canada. Seriously. They started all of it with their public emphasis on the social importance of immigration. The Canadian Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism is where the...

    Garmin Nuvi

    Turn the Garmin off. Not just the screen, but a hard off so it has to reboot when next turned on. Disconnect the Garmin from the power cord. Unplug the power cord from the power source. Plug the power cord back in to the power source. Connect the power cord to the Garmin. Turn the Garmin on...

    Yes, the French have a spine.

    There's a correlation, alright. Islam and Christianity are virtual mirrors of reach other. Aside from the fact that they are both Abrahamaic religious with the same foundations, the awful, evil things in the Quran for which Muslims are condemned are also to be found in the Bible.
