    The Jetsons takes place in 2063. Give it time. A briefcase flying car requires nano technology, which we've just begun to explore. But we already have the flat screen TVs and portable video chat devices, interactive newspapers with moving pictures in them, and robot vacuum cleaners. As for...

    Has anyoe heard of On Call Logistics?

    But that sounds more like a factoring and cash flow problem than it does a "DOES NOT believe in paying his drivers" problem. You have to be careful in your wording when it comes to unsubstantiated allegations, otherwise it's just a he-said'she-said airing of a personal grievance with an...

    Has anyoe heard of On Call Logistics?

    You state that he doesn't believe in paying his drivers, yet you got paid. I find it hard to believe that he actually doesn't believe in paying his drivers. If that were true then he'd have been out of business a long time ago.

    Involuntary revoked is never a good thing. Most often it happens when the insurance company notifies the DOT that insurance has lapsed and the DOT notifies the carrier or broker and gets no response. On Call's revocation has been updated to show 5/11/15 as the revocation date.

    Sprinter questions

    Tonnage designations actually used to correspond to a truck’s payload capacity, but they now are little more than a way of classifying vehicles. The half-ton class is actually capable of around three-quarters of a ton of payload. Three-quarter-ton trucks may carry more than a ton and a half, and...

    Fired for owning a gun

    Even if there is a company policy, the Indiana "take your gun to work" law prohibits employers from prohibiting employees from bring a gun to work, as long as the gun is secured in their vehicle. An employer can prohibit guns to be brought into the workplace, but that's all. But most...

    Anti-gun Democrat shoots car

    From the linked article: "Being an anti-gun Democrat in a Democrat-controlled city, Senator Virgil Smith has not been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a weapon within city limits, property damage, or any of the other charges that the non-politically-connected might have...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Well that's good. But since you've never been attacked and had to respond in any way at all, you don't really know what your response will be. You certainly know what you want it to be, what you hope it will be, but not what it actually will be. No, you didn't claim you were prepared and able...

    Heating / Cooling Rooftop A/C unit that will run off a 2000 watt generator

    If you get an AC unit that's hard to start, or won't start, you can add a "hard start capacitor" and it'll work. It takes all that stress off the compressor at startup.

    Kevin Gregg

    Maybe it worked. Petition closed after 3,277 supporters. Favorite "reason for signing"... I just want my job back. - Sam LeCure From NBC Sports: "It’s unclear why the Reds used 37-year-old Kevin Gregg in late-inning, high-leverage situations for most of the season, but they’ve come to their...

    The lights are out on 2 Officers, state of the nation.

    This video, which should be uncomfortable to both the left and the right, pretty well sums it all up.

    This one is good. Guy complied, cops made up charges, then hid their own dash cam video so as not to get caught.

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Eclipse - what a barber does Warehouse - what you say when you're lost. Expediter - someone who used to be a Pediter. Geometry - what an acorn says when he grows up. I got a million of 'em.

    The lights are out on 2 Officers, state of the nation.

    I don't disagree with any of that. It's why I honestly can't understand a mindset culture of running from police. That doesn't mean it's not valid, it just means I don't see it, I don't get it. I'm trying to. If I were reasonably sure that, despite being polite and cooperative with police, I...

    Cargo Van Need opinions on van replacement

    I'm with xiggi. If I were to get a new vehicle now it would definitely not be a DEF Sprinter. I really liked the Promaster when I drove it, so it would be between that and the Transit.

    It is amazing. And for most, thoroughly UN-understandable. Which is why people shouldn't be so quick to pass judgement on those living in conditions they don't understand. One thing from that second article is a little disturbing, though, on a couple of issues. One, he says even if he thinks...

    The lights are out on 2 Officers, state of the nation.

    Unfortunately the real, actual story is the fascists cop-lovers (authoritarian, far-right, militarism, social class collaboration, direct action, etc.) and the tangible harm they have unleashed on society. Vicious cop-haters is merely a symptomatic backlash for that...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but the question wasn't about being attacked with lethal force, it was about using lethal force in defending oneself. Setting aside the right to keep and bear arms, something I personally believe that having to register and obtain a permit for is an...
