    Wow, you just really, really hate the Tea Party, huh! Just hate 'em in general and blame 'em for everything. Kind of like the exact opposite of those who want to blame Obama when it rains. Can you list even one example of a conservative/Tea Party call for reducing regulations that has resulted...

    Well, it's down 49%. The only way to cut it down to the level you want is to just eliminate people. Doing that will also have the beneficial side effect of making the tree huggers very happy. There has never been a time in all of human history, before governments or after they were invented...

    Of course it is working. It's just not 100 percent, is all. Violent crime is at a 42 year low, down 49 percent since 1991. Listening to you and someone would think violent crime is up about a thousand percent and out of control. People are held accountable and there are consequences. Just kill...

    Insurance rates up

    Oh, no. Insurance companies don't have THAT kind of money.

    And then there was that guy who was released on parole and didn't kill or rape anybody, didn't commit any further crimes at all.

    Insurance rates up

    Undercharged? Maybe. One thing I do know for sure is, the one thing banks and insurance companies have in common is, they are housed in really nice, really expensive buildings, with really nice, really expensive furnishings.

    He estado en Laredo tanto tiempo que ya no me hablo Inglés. Me hice dos viajes ida y vuelta a Del Rio y McCallen, y ahora estoy en Edinburg, porque sí.

    I'm not sure what you are referencing when you say cutting regulations, at least with respect to conservatives, since conservatives tend to increase regulations on criminals and ex-criminals. As for GPS monitoring, and parole, both are inherently liberal concepts. The US government abolished...

    Hazmat question?!

    You don't have to parse or argue anything with the DOT, as they already know the regulations. It's admirable that you would want to make sure you have the necessary training and license endorsement to haul one pallet containing a single Group 31 truck battery, although not a lot of either is...

    Yep. Clearly, DND isn't a carrier full of pure-as-the-driven-snow choir boys, but just as clear is there are many carriers operating that are at least on the same level safety-wise. It seems obvious enough that the level they were at was just fine, relatively speaking, until they had a fatal...

    FMCSA News

    As I read this piece, it struck me as odd because it didn't pass the smell test for actual journalism. It reads more like a glossy overview garnered from similar glossy overviews on the Internet, i.e., a lot of unsubstantiated Channel 19 "facts," which far too often is passed off as journalism...

    FMCSA News

    The call for the investigation of the FMCSA's investigative policies is certainly political. But the judge who ruled they weren't enough of a danger to be permanently shut down seems more like common sense, depending on the details. It would depend on how many HoS violations show up in the...

    Correct. It's the Tapatalk/EO Forum App signature, which simply gets appended by the app to any typed-in text.

    Neither can any body else. His LOOKS like a two letter response, but you're forgetting that the Sent from my - Fisher Price ABC - 123 is also part of the response - more than 2 letters.

    What makes a Bol a Bol

    It's rare when I pick up at an LTL terminal or air cargo and they have a shipping order with the my consignee on it. The only time that happens is when the LTL carrier was supposed to deliver it, but for one reason or another called in an expediter to finish it off. I just write up a quick BOL...
