What's interesting is just how long it took them in the article to get to the information found in the final two paragraphs, a point after which 70% of people have long stopped reading. Over the last few years there has been a small but steadily growing anti-fish oil movement, for some...

I dunno, do we? I've never heard that, except when Jackie Gleason said something similar in a movie. Seems to me like it's a rather rare occurrence for a cop to say that. That, combined with several other claims in this guy's story make the story incredible, as in farfetched, astonishing...

Yeah, you can. That's what I did when I stained and coated the deck at the back of the house.

It's not entirely new. Going back to ancient Rome, history shows us the average shelf life of a Democracy is about 200 years, give or take.

I miss Paul Harvey.

Until Paul Harvey checks in, all we have is the unconfirmed and unsubstantiated allegations of someone on the internet, where everything is always true and accurate.

A popular urban legend that's been circulating in e-mails, Web forums and Blogs since 2001, but it's just that, fabricated urban legend in the wake of 9/11. It comes from what happened before Pershing was the military governor of the Moro Province. The first governor was Leonard Wood...

I do think we should be able to read the QC while driving. Replying is out of the question since it's nearly impossible to do that safely. But reading a message, or the pickup/delivery information, while moving faster than 12 MPH would be great. When I get a QC message while driving, instead...

I don't have any maps installed on mine, so the Nav part doesn't work at all, but if you can't use it while moving as a solo, then it's precisely as useless as mine is with no maps. Does it at least talk to you and tell you when to turn as a solo, or do you have to pull over and find out where...

It came from the Director of Operations at Paschall Truck lines (she's a friend of mine). They're headquartered in my home town, and they have drop terminals everywhere, and major satellite terminals in Indy, Memphis, Nashville, Houston, Brownsville, El Paso, McAllen, and Laredo. The new rules...

Not sure what you are using, but you might want to add one coat of Minwax Polycrylic to that, or just one coat of acrylic. It'll add a lot of hardness to it. The polyurethane will protect it well, especially good for oil spills and stuff, and will keep the freight from sliding around. Adding...

Sounds yummy. I wonder how they'd fare in a microwave. :D

The only real problem with the book, I think, is it more or less demonizes wheat (and gluten) in general, rather than the processed, refined wheat. Doesn't matter whether it's heirloom or hybrid, if it's processed it's bad for you. Gluten is a protein, and far more people are convinced they have...

No, lobbying the DOT, FMCSA and Congress directly, testimony in Congressional committee hearings, legal proceedings and court filings. It hasn't always worked, hasn't always been successful, but that doesn't mean the fight didn't happen and that everyone just sat back and took it without...

I don't even know what you're talking about. The 40 hour work week has never been the standard in trucking. And in non-trucking and non-farming sectors, the 40 hour work week is and has been the standard since the standard 40-hour work week was established by the Fair Labor Standards Act of...

I would say that's somewhat of an unfair characterization. In the past, and including these new ones, every proposed rule change that hasn't been backed by hard scientific data has been fought, as least by O/Os. Company drivers haven't fought much, because they don't really have much of a...

The problem is, of course, the 5th wheel campers and motor homes aren't involved in a high percentage of accidents, and the ones they are involved in don't usually kill everyone but the driver. That's why they aren't regulated. It's also why cargo vans aren't regulated. As soon as vans or RVs...

Look at these chains the FMCSA gave me. Aren't they pretty? Why, they're like jewelry! I love them so much! Incidentally, those who are thankful and grateful that the FMCSA has a mandated 30 minute break in their day because it was just sooo hard to manage to get a break previously, are...

The average shelf life of the original transmission is 350,000 miles. Some get more, some get less, but 350,000 is the average. Mine went at 372,000. I have 148,000 miles on the Silverstar replacement. What causes it to fail is a design flaw that is fixed in Silverstar and Jasper remans, and...

I wonder if it's occurred to anyone to make the comments box readable on their end, or, failing that, remove it from ours. As for email management software, it should be easy enough to write filters, if the mail server allows it, to route keywords in the subject to different e-mail boxes. But...
