    Weird things happen in Iowa

    This is where Rlents quote fits perfectly. Obama-lite.

    New HOS Rules are out

    When I refer to "industry" that would include the drivers. I do agree if the industry had a interest in safety, they would be looking at a wide range of issues. But, it is revenue driven as to why other items will never get addressed. I am pretty much convinced that the only way you would have...

    More or less Expediters on the road

    When just looking at expedite companies, just about all have less trucks than previous years. Very few new trucks out there verses years past. Tight credit and operating costs are slowly pushing out many of the one truck operations. I do think there are more companies entering the expedite...

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    Have to go with Ron Paul on that type of quote. As for the Bachmann mess, well that is what she has. A mess.

    New HOS Rules are out

    If I had my way, it would be less regulations all around. As more get piled on, it feeds the system to keep adding new ones. It is all about the money. If they went back to what was in place ten years ago, I am guessing we would be essentially in the same place.

    New HOS Rules are out

    Just to reiterate. If they had the industry's interest in mind with regards to safety, they would have addressed detention time, training, loading and unloading issues and a host of other items for the truckload folks. Hardly got mentioned. What gets mentioned and installed are items that they...

    Now we have Gingrich Newsletters

    Having sponsored or co-sponsored 620 bills with only one that passed is a legitimate concern. His ability to be taken seriously would be tested. This is also a place that his competitors will go to discredit him. Gingrich is really the only one on a federal level that got a few things done while...

    New HOS Rules are out

    I am shocked by the comment that we need even more regulations. You have got to be kidding me. We are regulated to death now. Based on current statistics, there is nothing in the new regulations that will accomplish anything other than raise operating costs. We sent several letters with...

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    It is something that can't be ignored when you look at all of it. But since he has departed, Paul is pretty limited to what he can do other than trash him.

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    That is a thought to ponder. Have to add Greg's thought into this as well. That 15 minutes of fame can make some embellish their thoughts.

    FedEx confused

    Happens all the time. Just about every company brokers to the others. Fedex specifically brokers out quite a bit of freight.

    Thought some might find this of interest. And guess what? He claims he didn't write them either. Funny how that seems to be a common political theme.:D Gingrich Supported Romney Health Care Plan In 2006 Newsletter | Fox News

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    It is true that all the "ifs, maybes and could-bees" aren't evidence of anything. They don't have to be. Perception will drive how things will be perceived. Biggest problem with Paul is he can't explain it away quickly. For me personally, I don't think I will be swayed by just what is...

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    That would be me with regards to "perception is what matters". It is true that Axelrod would have a field day with this type of stuff. Just too hard for Paul to spin the "I am not a racist" into a 30 second sound bite if he goes down the path of blaming ghostwriters that he can't name yet was...

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    Rlent, I think you are over estimating how other candidates are looking at Paul. At least for right now. Romney has already said he doesn't think Paul is a threat nationally so he hasn't went after him. You will know if he feels threatened by when Romney actually starts spending money. He...

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    And there lies the problem for Paul. Way too many ifs could-bes, and may-bees. I agree with you in that he is going to have to cough up some names if he starts to gain any steam nationally. Media will come after him and a long drawn out explanation true or not isn't going to cut it. Failure to...
