    Fox Debunks Right-Wing Lies?

    I think it is just some basic pot stirring. When asked for a television alternate twice now that Witness or anyone else would deem "better", absolutely no answer. Just going on and on about how bad they may or may not be has no real value without something to compare.

    Fox Debunks Right-Wing Lies?

    I don't know that anyone is really defending them just because they may watch. If there is a better alternative, then by all means tell us what it is. There is this implication that there is a better television source for news, but still nothing provided. If the thought is to defend another...

    Freightliner transmission nightmare

    In our case they stripped a fitting on the J-Block which needed fixed and a new hose installed. Had it done at Scotts Commercial in Toledo. In and out in 3 hours.

    NYC Schools ban the use of 50 words for new standardized testing

    I would hate to be a NYC taxpayer and realize I was paying for that kind of foolishness. Bad news is it will probably go national and we will all be paying for it.

    Looking to start an expediting company and need help!

    These folks are trying to help you. It has nothing to do with the "American dream". I would be careful confusing a perceived negativity on your part with reality.

    Freightliner transmission nightmare

    Have to admire your dedication to task. Many would have given up or paid the 12k to Stoops which would have meant taking it to another dealer and starting over or waiting a month. Took them two weeks to figure out a ac repair a couple of years ago, can't imagine a job of your magnitude. After...

    Oh...come on, you love Fox News. They are the only ones giving Ron Paul any air time. ;)

    Freightliner transmission nightmare

    That is one bout of frustration. Good leaning tool for new and experience folks alike. A major breakdown can be costly. For the experienced, stay away from FLT transmissions. Go with a Eaton or Allison. Hang in there. It has to make a turn at some point.

    Expediter Wannabees and Newbies: Note These Quotes

    You make a lot of valid points and made the steps early to endure some of the current madness. As a fleet owner, we experience kind of the same thing with past owner operators now driving for us. Every team that was a O/O in past years says they make out better than they ever did running their...

    Fox Debunks Right-Wing Lies?

    I have no problem telling people I watch Fox News. While not exclusively, I like some of there stuff. O'Reilly can be good at times as well as the Stossel specials. Not a huge fan of Hannity as his shows always seem the same. They replaced Glen Beck with a show called the Five and that hasn't...

    Expediter Wannabees and Newbies: Note These Quotes

    One thing for certain with new folks trying to come in, it is a much tougher gig than years past. Equipment has more than doubled and is less reliable, fuel costs are basically doubled, quality repair work is spotty at best and the list goes on. That is even assuming you have the capital to...

    Should driver film or record all encounters with shippers and receivers?

    I agree in that you don't see too much of it but gaming by shippers is on the rise. As freight picks up and capicty starts to shrink, you will then see that slow down. Many carriers have a hit list of sorts in which they won't haul a customers freight. BTW....I think you handled it the best way...

    Fox Debunks Right-Wing Lies?

    The battery cells are made by South Korean company called LG Chem. Got a good chunk of taxpayer money, but now says it is looking to get out of the battery business. Batteries are assembled at the Brownstown, MI GM plant. Probably another Solyndra.

    Fox Debunks Right-Wing Lies?

    The only place Obama is really tied to it is wanting more tax incentives ( additional 7500) for the purchase of them. 15k in total that taxpayers must subsidize. Regardless of the Fox spin or lack there of, they still need to address the price, only going 30 miles on a charge with test...
