Yeah, some of the randoms are for drugs (cup, pee), some are for alcohol (straw, blow), and some are both. Carriers have different percentages for each. They are required to test 50% for drug testing and10% for alcohol, but those percentages could go up if the carrier has a history of drivers...

As a side note, most of the time if I'm in the shop overnight for a day or two, especially if I'm just stuck there waiting on parts, I won't get a motel room, I'll just sleep in the van, right there.

I didn't want to go there, but yeah, it's the same pleasure center of the brain. It gets the same stimulation through orgasm, electrodes, or Bloggers.

There is a provision in the lease that says cars using electronic tolling cannot see their rates go up until 2017. After 2016 the rates for cars could skyrocket, depending on the new owners. The current rate for electronic tolls is $4.65, versus cash of $10 for the full trip. Beginning in 2017...

To further that thought, I think what it shows is, to some people, biased political Blogs (and, clearly, making posts about them) are like the electrodes implanted in the pleasure centers of the brains of rodents and other animals, where they will relentlessly pound that lever to get the...

Well, there's the problem right there, Paul Bedard's whiny rant starts off with the flawed premise that the NYT Best Seller List is somehow supposed to be the same as the Nielsen BookScan Best Seller List. They are not now nor have they ever been the same. They each use different methodologies...

It's kind of like the mantra, and actual belief, that Obamacare originated as a Republican plan to control medical costs.

The growing pile of research that says corporal punishment is ineffective is largely research done by people who are against corporal punishment. It gets set right next to the larger pile of research that shows it is effective. The largest pile of evidence for ineffectiveness is that for "time...

Well, (A), yes I can compare the DOT's efforts to remove alcohol from driving to the NFL's efforts to remove domestic violence (and other criminal behavior) from it's ranks, because I just did, and because they do it in roughly the same manner, i.e., up front to eliminate the problem, and...

Your first instinct is correct. Urban legend, probably started by a Bible thumper who doesn't like the fact that beer can be bought at truck stops, or that some truck stops have bars in them. I've heard the same crap on the radio, too. Even a mediocre public defender can get a DUI charge like...

In short, yes. But there's more to it. As Cheri noted, the keys had better not be in the ignition. If they are, you are considered in control of the vehicle, whether the engine is running or not, and you could actually be cited for DUI. If you are on-duty or operate the motor vehicle, or are...

First, when you say "they haven't much," on what, exactly, are you basing such a conclusion? They certainly can't weed out 100% of them, clearly, but neither can trucking carriers or the FMCSA regulations weed out 100% of the drug and alcohol abusers. But it does a pretty good job, to the point...

So, clearly when you ask, "Says who?" you do so with dripping disingenuousness, since you don't care what the source of the numbers are, as you have, without knowing the source, already found a way to dismiss them and discredit them. The most important thing is that your belief remain in tact...

The mere fact that the author chose to compare Obama's numbers to some other president, Reagan in particular, shows that there is a political agenda at work, rather than simply giving us the numbers. There's no reason to compare the numbers to a former time and a former president, unless it's to...

If the cases come before the Court and Ginsburg recuses herself, then the entire hysterical worry is moot. Also, let us not forget that the aforementioned (in the article) Supreme Court Ethics Act of 2013 was a proposed House bill that came about directly because of the actions of conservative...

I'll ignore the issue of women NFL football players beating their domestic partners to a pulp and get right to it... In the first incarnation of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy (renamed in 2000 from the previous 1997 Violent Crimes Policy - one that was instituted specifically to address the...

My longest hold times have generally been when the shipper or receiver has been standing right there next to me.

St Patrick's Day and Columbus Day must just drive you nuts.

Yeah, the mob mentality is awesome.

The dish that's inside the Tailgater is only 15 inches in diameter. That's about as small as you're gonna get and still be able to get the 129 HD satellite, as the signal strength on that one is weak on a full-size Dish 1000 dish, and is barely strong enough to get a signal lock on the...
