That is how we have ended up with the dictatorship we are about to behold in this country. They insured that they dumbed down the kids and gave them a sense of entitlement instead of self -reliance. Bad days ahead.

Good to hear, a bad front end is hard to work with.

Not always true these days, OVM. My kids were often taught that the morals and things I taught my kids were old fashioned and were no longer relevent. The schools in my day did not contradict the teachings of parents and even taught right and wrong, even the public schools. Not any longer. Today...

PM sent, thanks for the help.

Yeah, we lived in a much different world back then. Not that everything was perfect, but when we did set out to fix a few things we destroyed the rest. I don't want to go back to the days without some of the vaccines we have though. People were more polite back then. Shoot, we never locked the...

Never watched that show, never will.

I still wish I could get Rand-McNally's trucking atlas in laptop format.

Thanks, I get confused so easy anymore these days!! I thought I had it sorta figured out, I was hopin that I did not have to start over again!! LOL!! :o

We had to do what we were told in school, or POW!!! Then, if we got a spanking in school, and my parents determined that we deserved it, WE GOT ANOTHER AT HOME!! They always, however, backed us up if we were not in the wrong. I must say that I deserved most of the whoopins I got and the couple...

Good to see ya in here Doc, hope you guys are doin ok!! We are nose heavy and load all loads by the teeter tooter rule as well. We run with our lift axle down way more than most, for the same reason. We did have a problem a while back being overweight on the front, wrong size tires.

I guess I don't understand something, I know what I need to make for a load to make money. I know what certain weights, running the reefer, providing protection for the load is worth. I only take loads that I can make money on the load and always look at what happens on the other end, long DH...

All the schools were crowded when I was a kid. The public schools were allowed to spank, say the Lord's prayer and had dress codes. It was nothing like the stupidity they have there today. Shoot, they had to be able to read and write back then. Now you just can't hurt the "little darlins'"...

I do know some who work there from time to time and the horror stories are hard to believe, this mess just adds to it. I feel for those people having to deal with this mess, I would not wish that on anyone. As to the rest of the mess, I have no answer. It may be time for the people there to...

The U.N. (useless nuts) the U.S. and half a zillion non-government groups have been working there for years with no positive effect. I don't know if there is a real solution there. decades of corrupt governments, no real economy to speak of and an overall feeling of hopelesness has taken their...

It must give you great pleasure to have a real purpose in life!!! :p

LOL! That is just because we are so cool!! It does cost us more in truck washes though, had to get another one today.

What do you mean we don't count? Just because we chose to put ourselves in this position makes us "less than able" expediters? If there were more qualifications etc that we could get, we would. Why? That makes more were available. It is that simple. Offer more, get more. Is that not how this...

I don't know where they get that today's classes are larger than when in my day. I am a baby boomer, my 8th grade class had 56 kids and we were all in one room!! We had no choice, we had to learn or the nuns would kill us. A little smack here, a wack there and the room was quiet. They also had...

I don't know, we are busy and rates are looking okee dokee. We would bump docks but our customers demand exclusive use for the most part. The customer is boss.

I am planning on watching the group. They will not be interesting to liberals, they like a controlling government, it removes the need for them to think for themselves. Anyone who still thinks that either of those two criminal groups that we call political parties are okee dokee won't like this...
