Here is one link to places giving discounts to Veterans on Veteran's Day. I always go to dinner with my Dad, a WWII vet, his friend, another WWII vet and a third family friend a Navy Vet. Happy to see the TA/Petro chains getting involved. 2013 Veterans Day Discounts, Sales, Deals and Free Meals...

You have far more faith than I. They are ruining people's lives today, and don't give a flip. They have no soul.

Those loads don't pay enough to be worth my effort. FedEx does not run my business, my standards are not being lowered. It's that cheap freight that is helping to kill my business. I don't like those plants. They waste far too much of my time, the people on the docks are often rude and quite...

FAR too many on the take down here. They don't WANT it to change, their gravy train would dry up. They won't vote out anyone who would remover or curtail their bennies. Little chance of a "normal" person getting elected, the money mongers fight them. Center? No one here knows what that is...

That is because it is big business. Lawyers make a LOT of money off drunk driving. A very large percentage of lawmakers are lawyers. They look out after their own. It is my belief that being a lawyer and a lawmaker is a conflict of interest.

1 year in jail on fish heads and rice. THAT would put a stop to most drunk driving. The Japanese like to drink even more that the Scotsmen do, but drunk driver was rare there. At least it was when I was stationed there. Punishments for that offense are FAR too light.

I don't carry many machines, most of them are too dirty and stinky to go on my "SPECIAL" truck! I am a freight snob! :p

We use our load bars and blankets all the time. I use load bars on just about every load. I normally "over secure" all freight that goes on my truck. I don't have a single "toy" on my truck that I don't use several times a year. I would say the least used piece of equipment I have is my hand...

It was 38 years ago today that the "Gales of November" on the Great Lakes took another ship and 29 more lives. The Edmund Fitzgerald went down on Lake Superior. I watched that boat on the "River" many times when fishing out there and my brother unloaded her a couple of time when he was at Great...

Which is EXACTLY why I call the Rumbumlicans and the Demoncrats criminal organizations.

Only time will tell. According to the time stamp on that stop that you posted it took place over a year ago. That is a very long time for the justice department to do nothing.

I wonder why the Feds are not going after the cops and those DR's for civil rights violations? :confused:

Those loads just don't pay enough to cover the DH out. In the winter time it is even more dicey. It is more than possible to be held up by weather for a few days out that way. I would run there, for $2.50 per, in AND out, all miles.

I knew it was a joke, I just don't believe in humor. LOL!!

No, had to work.

Yes, you can restart when under load. You don't have to be OOS to do a reset, you can be in the sleeper. You just can't drive anywhere.

Yepper, you gots it.

This may be a bit off topic, but what are you talking about? It would be a VERY strange load not to have time to stop for a sandwich.

You have to be careful just when during your shift you use that 20 minute joke. Take it too early and you may have to take a second break.

Yes and they continue to fall.
