I got that part. I want to know where the bizillions of surplus dollars went to over the last 50 or 60 years. That is what caused the problem. IF that money had been handled properly we would not be having this discussion.

I have no doubt it will be a useful, albeit, limited tool. Well suited to the role we have planned for it. Wish I could figure out the computer problems so I could run the software that fits our needs better, but alas, not been able too.

Time will tell. I already know it won't do everything the way we could on the laptop. Important stuff, at least to how we operate. We almost NEVER input an address and then follow the GPS suggested routing. We shall see, can't turn off the GPS receiver and look ahead on a route either. It is...

Yeah, but they are contracted for that pension. That damage has been done. It won't go away, or at least it should not. A contract is a contract, or at least it should be. I know what it is like to be "stiffed" on a government contract. It makes a person rather bitter and less likely to perform...

We do when possible, it often not is. That has gotten better though.

Too bad it is not a paper world, eh? In the old days, when we knew dispatchers it was different. Now, with so many changes, new dispatchers, etc, few seem to get it.

I missed the scratching the ankle part. I KNEW it was something. I have ALWAYS liked GARMIN GPS receivers, I have NEVER liked their manuals or customer service. It seems little has changed since I sold them. Good equipment, the rest is lacking. I don't like the thing, it will never do what I...

There are times when we run several guarded loads, back to back, when resets were needed. On two occasions we have had "guard trucks" come out and babysit our truck while we left for a motel to do a reset. Lately we have not been doing as many long term guarded loads, part luck, part not...

The Postal service, "CSRS" retirement systems, as well as SS all ran surpluses, very large surpluses, for decades. Where did that money go? It was not 'set aside'. Not invested in any instrument that would earn real interest. The government spent it. They put up worthless IOU's in the form of...

"Sadly, this true. It does not however change the fact that I subscribe to these principles" You might, I don't know. Much of what you say in here paints a different story, but then, you could just be fishing. Obama and the U.N. don't.

As long as I have this truck we will need 34 hour resets. We had to do several last year. One this year so far. Why? Guarding loads eats hours. IF and WHEN I get into a different type of truck that may change, for now, this is going to affect us.

Yeah, the last time I did punch a clock I was wearing a hard hat and steel toes. It was May of 1976. I punched out of Great Lakes Steel for the last time. I did like the work. I was track labor and a move up switchman. I enjoyed the railroad. Hard work that kept you in shape but work that...

How can it continue to operate at a lose and why should tax payers be stuck borrowing money to keep them afloat? Where is it going to come from?

Might be. Every GPS receiver, and fish finder, I used to sell had a demo on it. We used to set them up in the stores so customers could see how they looked. There was always, even on Garmins, a place in the settings to active and deactivate that feature. I can't find it on this one. Must get...

Glad you are getting out. I don't know about the punch in/punch out part. I always found punching that clock kinda demeaning. That's just me though. I have not punched a clock since June of 1976. I hope I never have to again.
