    Speedway acquires Hess/Wilco..

    So now you're back to me again, continuing with the personal attacks rather than being able to stay on topic? Seriously?

    Speedway acquires Hess/Wilco..

    He keeps up with stuff he's interested in. He used Wikipedia to verify the dates is all. I didn't have to look up the brands. I pay attention to the labels on the boxes when they are delivered or when they're taking taking product out of them in the stores. I used to be in foodservice and still...

    Speedway acquires Hess/Wilco..

    Marathon and Pilot used to be partners. In 2001 they got together and formed Pilot Travel Centers, chiefly by converting all of the old Speedway Truck Stops to Pilots. In 2008 Pilot bought out Marathon's stake in Pilot, when they partnered up with CVC Parnters. Last month Pilot Flying J...

    Pregnant Teenage Mutant Ninja Mannequins

    In Caracas, Venezuela school children wear these blue uniforms until the children turn 15. So, these represent schoolgirls aged 14 or younger. The idea is to draw attention to an adolescent pregnancy rate that is one of the worst in South America, with one girl under-18 becoming pregnant every...

    Is there a Espar alternative?

    Any idea how easy it is to convert a carbureted gasoline engine into a high-compression diesel engine? It'll be easier, and cheaper, to replace it, especially if you can sell the gas model to a banner. :D You have been told correctly about DOT approved gas tanks. If you already had an aux gas...

    Stupid American Voters

    That's why I mentioned the CNN article. It's not headlines there, certainly not "Breaking News!" but at least it gets a mention. So far it's strictly Fox News and the right wingnut blogs, but eventually the MSM is gonna have to address it more fully. Gruber (his name is Jonathan but he reminds...

    "This is CNN" - James Earl Jones Third Obamacare architect video emerges - CNN.com The videos were documented over the course of the last year by Rich Weinstein, an investment adviser who became interested in the origins of the law after the price of insurance for his family doubled.

    Obama Dept of Labor helping illegals

    Not really. The answer to this is simple: plausible deniability. If the records are only temporary, and get expunged after 5 years, then the US government suddenly has an out for bad press over a long history of abuses of the H1B program that have gone unchecked. Instead of changing policy...

    Stupid American Voters

    Yeah, that's the other video I was talking about. I actually haven't seen any of them yet, but the other night on SiriusXM on the POTUS (Politics of the United States) chanel, they played extended versions of the clips and discussed them at length. The two conservatives on the panel were peeing...

    Stupid American Voters

    You're to stupid to know what's best for you, so we'll do what's best for you, whether you like it or not, even if we have to lie to you to do it. There is simply no defending that.

    Stupid American Voters

    This isn't just Obama, if course. This goes directly back to Hillary and Al's failed attempt at government controlled, single player, universal health care. The comments in the video, as well as in the other video that shows a lot more of the comments, not only puts Nancy Pelosi's disgusting...

    Quick update/Promaster insight/Sorting out Future Plans

    The pattern for most people when they get into expediting is, after a few months they decide they're going to buy more of whatever vehicle they're driving, find drivers and be a fleet owner, and watch the money roll in. After about 18 months they realize what an ignorant, crazy thought that was...

    5 Owner Operator Mistakes to Avoid

    Another recommendation is to pay off the truck/van/Sprinter/Sprinter-wannabe ASAP. Any benefit you may gain from deducting interest on the loan is far outweighed by not having the interest expense in the first place, since the amount that the deduction reduces your taxes by isn't anywhere near...
