    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    That's rich. Sometimes I wonder if you even know how to craft an argument without basing it on a logical fallacy. One of the most egregious and unoriginally dogmatic logical fallacies is the argumentum ad populum, otherwise known as the appeal to the majority, appeal to popularity, argument by...

    Incredibly off topic and out of line.

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    “I’ll check with my political correctness department and get back to you.” That's a great line. :D

    Personal Use?

    Not only would you be breaking your lease agreement, but you wouldn't have any cargo or liability insurance while hauling those machine parts.

    Personal Use?

    No, and I think you've been told several times to stop doing that.

    Just some headline data in the Middle East

    Oil companies have never been at a loss for finding reasons to raise prices. If peace were to break out in the Middle East it would be cited as a reason for high oil prices, because it would spike demand for gas, and prices would have to go up in order to meet the demand. Ever since 2008, both...

    It could also be they are new and didn't fully understand the instructions from orientation about using CMVs for personal use when OOS, where ya gotta cover up the doors, Not For Hire, and all that.

    Personal Use?

    Yeah, no, Panther doesn't have a "no personal use" policy at all. You can use your own vehicle for personal use any way you see fit. Just don't park in out in front on Nude Nudie Nudes or use it as a getaway vehicle after robbing a bank.

    Personal Use?

    Maybe, maybe not. It depends. When you lease on with a carrier, you are literally transferring the right to possession and/or use of goods or equipment (your truck) for a term in return for consideration. So they can certainly have some say in the matter, especially if you have their name and...

    HOS for cargo vans?

    It van be very confusing, and it doesn't help when people in Safety Departments at carriers don't know the regs regarding HAZMAT, either.

    Icebergs in Lake Superior

    Yeah, because every time it rains or snows in western New York it's because of lake effect, and not because of the storm front that rolled through the Midwest yesterday on its way to the northeast. It's raining where I am now, which is I'm sure due to the lake effect rain from Walled Lake.

    HOS for cargo vans?

    If that hazardous material doesn't require placards at 500 pounds, yes, anyone can haul it without issue. If the material requires placarding, even at 500 pounds, then you need a CDL with a HAZMAT endorsement to haul it. Expedite Now Trucking Magazine - Can You Haul HAZMAT Without an...

    Like I said, you need to call the Lake Superior people and tell them how wrong they are.

    Icebergs in Lake Superior

    It really doesn't matter what YOU think the levels SHOULD be. What matters is the actual levels and how they compare to the actual historical record.

    Icebergs in Lake Superior

    Oh, you really should call them. The problem is, NOAA and it's Center for Oceanographic Products and Services, and the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans' Canadian Hydrographic Service, and the Army Corps of Engineers, and Environment Canada have all been measuring water levels on the...
