    Most don't think they're perfect, but most think they're superior, morally and eternally. ;)

    One Man Fight to Save the Expedited Trucking Industry

    Gun manufacturers aren't prosecuted, but they are sued in civil court. And in drunk driving, the bartender who sold the drinks can be criminally liable.

    New ways to make $$$ with you van.

    I was thinking of using my van as a sort of private shuttle service to take kids to kid-friendly places, like museums, the library, movie theaters, comic book stores, and other places. I could drive by schools and parks and talk to the kids to let them know of the service. Maybe have plenty of...

    Leprechauns have parades? Wait, what? That would be awesome.

    Be it a cake, a painting, a piece of music, a sculpture, whether it is dictated by the purchaser (i.e., a commissioned work) is irrelevant. The artistic act itself is an expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their...

    Welfare reform

    SNAP varies by state, from a low of $115.76 in New Hampshire to a high of $217.49 in Hawaii. The Average for the US is $133.07. Those are fiscal year 2013 numbers, and are slightly higher across the board currently. He just used simple math. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. But, in Rhode...

    John Wesley must be so proud

    No exhibiting a social concern for the welfare of others? Where do you come up with this stuff? I haven't misused the word at all, I've used it the same exact way it's defined in the dictionary. Granted, I only looked it up in the Oxford English Dictionary, and double-checked it at...

    Freight Broker Liability

    The personal judgement about me wasn't really necessary. Be that as it may, the dismissive attitude presented in your statement about not bothering to learn anything about this business beyond 'deliver load, get money' is exactly that of so many drivers out here as it is, especially van (and...

    Freight Broker Liability

    Expediting isn't driving, it's a business. Would you open up a restaurant without knowing the health laws, or without knowing your liability if someone slips and falls in the dining room? You betcha there's a test..

    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, plastic to plastic. The sooner we get rid of plastic bags the better.

    My last four loads have delivered to Perrysburg, Toledo, Toledo, and Toledo. I quit trying to figure it out.

    Laredo texas bans plastic bags, kinda

    In a round about way, yeah. But it cut costs for the city. Too many plastic bags getting caught in the sewer drains and water treatment plants that have to be dug out. Too many of them littering the beautiful scrub brush. When I found out about the plastic bag ban, I went online and read news...

    The Duggars

    I never said I have been running into them, nor did I say they were shaming, belittling a disparaging me if I did not gloriously accept their lifestyle. Even if I had said that, answering your question would move the thread to a completely different topic. This isn't about me.

    Unfortunately, that's not how gays use the word. They use it pejoratively to shame, belittle and disparage those who don't accept and embrace homosexuals and homosexuality as normal, and gloriously wonderful.

    Laredo texas bans plastic bags, kinda

    Before I had gone to the TA I had gone to Walmart to get a prescription filled. I didn't buy anything else when I was there. But I noticed a remarkable number of people in the parking lot loading their purchases into their vehicles using those cloth resuable Walmart bags they have for sale in...

    Freight Broker Liability

    Terms and labels don't matter. Freight brokers have to be very careful in how they treat carriers, and by extension, drivers. Too much control, like certainly requiring a particular routing, but even mandating regular or constant contact, a specific pickup or delivery time, can result in the...

    In context, unless it was a felony, what someone did 30 years ago is not a big deal, and largely irrelevant. I'd sure hate to be judged today on everything I said and did when I was 30 years younger.
