    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    What they are doing is performing abortions. For most people who are anti-abortion, that's more than enough to want them shut down, and many will use whatever they can, real or imagined, fact or fiction, to do it. There's no evidence they are profiting from the sale of any tissues. In fact...

    August in Load One Nation

    Not for sleeping, but yes. They don't want 18 wheelers on the lot at all, unless they're delivering fuel. They won't allow pickups pulling trailers or campers sleeping there, either. It's like a truckless truck stop. But I've seen bobtails and straight trucks there plenty of times, but shopping...

    Ghost policy

    Ah, OK. Yeah, the state of New York generally considers owner operators (as well as many other types of independent contractors) to be employees of a company (either the carrier or the fleet owner) under the Workers Compensation Law. There are several states in which ghost polices are not...

    August in Load One Nation

    They're like Cheetos Cheese Puffs, only not cheese. They're a caramelly sugarry butterry corn puffy concoction that is so addicting that after I finished off my first bag I immediately signed up for BNA (Beaver Nuggets Anonymous), because I know if I ever fall off the wagon my life is over...

    Just go to Buc-ee's. It's at Exit 190. You'll find religion and forget all about Taylor Base. The New Braunfels Buc-ee's travel center is the largest convenience store in the world at 68,000 square feet. The store features 120 fuel pumps, 83 toilets, 31 cash registers, 4 Icee machines, 80...

    Ghost policy

    I'm a little surprised that a carrier would suggest a ghost policy (which provides you with no benefits whatsoever) instead of simply requiring you to have Occupational Accident Insurance (which is cheap and will provide health and income benefits if you are injured while under dispatch). Maybe...

    August. Where you at,

    In the rare testudines administratio turtles you will find in addition to the cloacal bursae, a cloacal oris. Oris, of course, means mouth. :turtle:

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    For most of the hot-button allegations, the question really becomes, did they say those things in the context in which they were presented? There's no question things were said, but anyone who has seen a Michael Moore movie knows how easy it is to create a completely different context to change...

    Forum Tip New Features of the Forum

    Once it's up and running we may do that, but owners/managers of carriers might not know to ask for access if they don't even know the forum is there. BTW, deleted all those off topic posts. If anything important got gone, it can be undeleted and moved to the forum of the author's choice.

    You should probably learn up on what an escrow is. The contract will tell you exactly what the escrow can be used for, add I guarantee you "just in case" won't be listed as one of them. Escrow is for a very specific purpose and neither party can use it for anything else. It is held in a trust...

    Banned From The Soapbox Forum

    I don't know what that means. The only reason the Mod Forum exists is so the mods can discuss site changes, reported posts and how to deal with disruptive posters in a quiet setting and not have to deal with the cosmic background radiation noise from the peanut galleries. There's hardly anything...

    Sesame Street Moves Out Of The Ghetto

    Sesame Street will still be on PBS, it's just that it won't air on PBS until 9 months after it airs on HBO. PBS has only been funding about 10% of Sesame Street, and the rest of the funding having to come from merchandising, mainly DVDs. Online streaming has cut into the DVD sales and HBO's cash...

    Load One is responsible for that you do (what you are contracted to do), but not necessarily how you accomplish that.
