Absolutely. Just because the decision is the driver's doesn't mean the owner has to keep an unproductive driver. If you want to drive and be unproductive, get your own truck.

I don't know about ALMOST or not, but now you've bluntly stated that the fault of the disparity of police actions (stops, arrests, beatings, etc.) and the justice system (harsher sentences, more convictions, etc.) lies with the blacks themselves for allowing such a stereotypical picture to be...

Depends on the contract and relationship between the owner and driver, but generally those are driver decisions. Sometimes an owner's advice on where to move is good advice, indeed. If the owner is paying for fuel, then the owner should have a considerable say in that. But when you go in and...

I never said any of the above didn't happen. I haven't even hinted in that direction. The prosecutor's motivations may have been political, I don't know. But he stated his reason for not filing those charges. Again, with all due respect, I'm more likely to take the word the the guy himself...

Cube vans, especially the yellow ones, are absolutely a target, because a significant percentage of them routinely run at greater-than 10,000 pounds, and do so without logging or having a medical certificate. The revenue from those fines, which can be quite substantial, is easy money. The GVWR...

No, they don't. Whites tend to be a little more creative when they're bored. The reason you've just stated as why it happens more to blacks is the actual definition of prejudice. I don't know if you are or not, but you're almost saying that blacks are asking for it, and it wouldn't happen to...

Of course it does, the police are out of control. But it doesn't happen to whites with anywhere near the frequency that it does to blacks, as the numbers prove.

Hyperbole consists of exaggerated statements not to be taken literally. Yet everything I've said is the literal truth. So, no, just because you say something doesn't make it so. According to District Attorney Ira Reiner (the guy who was in charge of filing the charges) that's exactly why they...

At Load One there is a waiting list for Sprinters and straights. Just because they have an ad doesn't mean that if you call them today you're going to start with them immediately. But then again, the same thing can be said for most carriers, even the ones that laugh at you on the phone.

2 Taser hits, 33 baton strikes, 6 boot kicks. 11 skull fractures, fractures in knees, elbows and wrists, multiple contusions and lacerations, kidney damage and permanent brain damage. Yes, yes, yes, it was mostly legally justified, by a legal justice system comprised chiefly of whites that is...

Been sitting on that song for 10 or 15 years, just waiting for the right moment. :D

When a man loves a chicken He can't keep his mind on nothin' else, He stay in the barn for the good thing he's found. If he is henpecked he can't see it; she can't do no wrong. Road Island Red is his best friend, he can't put her down. When a man wants a chicken, spends his very last dime...

This is another one of those long awkward pause situations.........

I don't recall anyone ever saying the police didn't have a reason to stop him. They clearly did. The problem is, King was tried, convicted and sentenced to be beaten to a pulp by a platoon of white police officers who took it upon themselves to play the roles of the prosecution, defense, judge...

Yeah, Espar, maybe a small inverter to charge a computer, then a 100 amp hour marine battery (or truck battery), about $100, is plenty. The Espar heater only draws about an amp an hour, on average. The better insulated you are the less hard it has to work, of course.

I remember once in Laredo a 3-skid Sprinter way down on the board got loaded out way ahead of me and he was all, like, "Hahahaha" all the way to Little Rock. About an hour later I got one skid and kinda giggled all the way to Boston.

Unfortunately they're not working. At all. Even doubled up, nada.

I crack myself up. :D

I think what she's saying is that if a company makes, say, 20% profit, that it should more or less be evenly distributed amongst the workers.

It's Breaking News. The driver is STILL dead.
