I spent the first 5 months at home recovering from a shattered wrist, so.... I'm slightly trailing last year.

Just as predicted, the healthcare insurers are now saying that because of the influx of previously uninsured people, who are all sicker than they expected, and not enough young healthy people willing to throw good money away, they're gonna have to raise the premiums by a lot. A really, really...

Yep. That's why the difference between sexual harassment and flirting is whether or not she thinks you're cute.

I have no idea, and, I have no idea. I would think if people at ES thought the tanker endorsement is merely a backup plan and doesn't do a whole lot in a straight truck, the answers to both of those would be a really, really low number, though. That feels like a bonus question.

If you want to haul those liquid totes (IBC - Intermediate Bulk Containers) in a straight truck, you'll probably need a tank endorsement. If the totes have a capacity of more than 119 gallons, and the total capacity of the the totes hauled is 1000 gallons or more, then you need the endorsement...

Well, without offering up a reason, then the suggestion is rather meaningless. I'd honestly like to know what the reaction would be. The thing is, "She could knock you out," is a thoroughly inappropriate comment for someone to make. Yet she was glad to have overheard it. I'm curious to know...

He certainly got slammed on social media. Huffington Post mentioned it, but didn't take an opinion (for the first time in ever). But he got hammered so badly on social media that he has now posed a full apology on Twitter and his Facebook page. He's still not getting what Thomas said about...

The first step is to read these forums a lot, and go to truck stops and talk to expediters.

Well, would you have been glad, like you were with "She could knock you out," or would you have been angry, or afraid?

Many carriers charge a QC removal fee. Some call it a Reconditioning fee, as they have to go over the QC and clean it up, make sure it's in working order to hand out to someone else. That's usually stated in the contract somewhere. (Panther charges, or at least did when I was there, $250 for...

If you are paid on a percentage of the line haul, yes. If you are paid a flat rate, no.

What if you had overheard them say, "I'd like to get me some of that sweet ass! Wooohooo!" I'm just sayin' ;)

Without knowing more, I'd say probably yes. The details of what they did should be in the contract, though. The escrow, that's not just some money they throw in a drawer and can use it whenever they want, they are bound by law in what they can do with it, and when, and when it must be released...

It can vary greatly. The other day I waited a day and a half. I've also been predispatched with a load waiting for me as soon as I delivered. I've also waited a week or more. I think 10 days is the longest I've waited. You can sit down there for a week and get a load going to Michigan and that's...

Well, you kind of answered your own question, in that is a state law they violated. It's not really contract work in their case since the bulk of their business is cakes, including special order cakes. The lesbian couple didn't request anything out of the ordinary, just a rather generic wedding...

More than likely they wouldn't have loaded the truck. Every once in a while a customer will request no pets even when such a request isn't necessary. But the shipper knows for sure. There are some things, like liquid flavorings in a drum, that can certainly be shipped with a pet and it won't...

If you'll note, you asked, "And why shouldn't they be?!" with an exclamation point and everything! And that was the totality of your response. And I gave you an answer.

Already agreed to. But there is a chasm of difference between everyone being a potential victim and everyone being an actual victim, a chasm which you seamlessly bridged. Just because your perceptions and behaviors are colored by your own thoughts doesn't make you a victim of anything other than...

Catering is different. That's commissioned or contract work, each by special request. You do not have to accept all job offers in catering. Most catering services simply couldn't even if they wanted to, so they must pick and choose which jobs they can do. The Jewish deli doesn't have to cater...

But exercise of religion is, and there are some religions which mandate special diets. The state cannot take that right away.
