We had no experience when we started. I had to take a FedEx road test, my wife did not. Some body has to hire newbies or there would never be any new drivers. I road with owners for several months before I went out on my own.

Those State senators who ran away to avoid that vote should NOT be paid for the time that they are not working. No work, no pay. ANY teacher, or any other public employee, who called in sick and went to protest the bill should be fired. I also believe that NO public employee should...

We had 5 days of reefer work without pay last year. Twice we were under load when roads were closed. The reefer still ran, fuel was burned, there is no additional pay to cover that. I think the disaster stuff is payed for differently. We are NOT running any more of those loads unless we can...

We shall see. We too have had several loads that paid over $5000. I also know that I could give up all CA work and it would make little, if any, difference to my bottom line. I am not sure that a $5000 investment on a truck that is 50% used up is worth it for the 2 or 3 reefer loads in CA...

Does the U.S. Federal Government, under the U.S. Constitution have ANY legal authority to even be involved in education? I don't think so. I have NO idea about Canada. I have NO problem with kids learning a new language. I have MULTIPLE problems if the Federal or State government makes the...

My kids were in public school and I FOUGHT those schools the entire time they were there. Thanks to my lousy pay when working for the feds I could not afford private school or they would have been in one. I taught them the important lessons in life which often were contradicted by the schools...

Did he buy this one? I though he was asking advice. Hope I did not screw up. I was not out to tick anyone off.

The ONLY reason we are having problems in this war, (it is not separate wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) is the Congress and the President won't let us fight it! Just as the congress would not let us finish off North Viet Nam. I would be willing to pull out for no other reason than they rules of...

I don't believe that the federal government should be issuing education grants. I don't believe that they should have ANY say in curriculum. I don't care if it is French, German, martian or algebra. They have NO business in education. Neither does the state. Education should be LOCAL. A students...

I guess, they are not as heavy as say a Cascadia. I think you could consider them maybe a 7.5?

Somebody needs to "fix" those locks so they can never work again. City people are so foolish. They will help to destroy the economy of several states, help to cause MAJOR damage to an ecosystem that they are a part up and then scream about out lawing hunting and back Obama because he is so much...

I have a M2 M112 business class. I will never own another M2 again. To light a duty truck for expediting in my opinion. They start to rattle quickly. They have far too many cheap plastic parts that break easily too. IF I ever buy another truck it will be a class 8 truck. No class 7's or 7.5's...

I understand that Phil, with any luck it will balance out. It cost us a LOT last year. One trip we spent 3 days running our reefer when the road was closed and we could not move. (NO additional pay) Several times we would bring our reefer down, or up, to temp, sit for several hours and then had...

I love the pay cuts. If the owner of the freight or FedEx is not willing to pay for the fuel we burn to protect the freight that freight must not be worth protecting. Maybe we should just shut down our reefers during the hours that they don't want to pay for.

"Demanding classes being taught in Spanish? Where exactly is this happening? I know Glenn Beck told us not to use Google, but I Googled, "Schools required to teach in Spanish". I couldn't find anything. Can you point me in the direction were I might find this information?" This federal...

The only way they are connected is in the way we look at them. We, as a nation, tend to try to handle problems in a short term manner. Put a patch on the problem quickly, then we can work on it later. We never do.

I said I would have to look a what kind of aid was going to whom. I never said that I would not cut back on or cut out aid in any region. Every problem we face in this country is the result of decades or centuries of mistakes. They will not be fixed in one or two years. They are long term...

I have no problem cutting down and some day eliminating foreign aid. I would, however, go at it in a different way. I would first cut ALL payments/aid, of ANY type to those who seem to be our enemy. Like Russia, Venezuela so on and so forth. With all the unrest in the Middle East I would be...

Yep, I have always said that but there is nothing I can do about it. IF I don't pay that tax, they come after me, ARMED, to make SURE I pay it. It will be the say if this health care garbage is not overturned only now I don't care, bring 'em on!! That is EXACTLY what I told Dingellberry.

I have NO problem with a Phased out system. The government has been stealing that tax money from hard working people with the "promise" of returns. It should have never been put into place. It should have NEVER been FORCED, like health care, at the point of a gun. We had NO option to for go that...
