    Swine Flu

    This one could get loose but I wonder if it would ever kill as many as the 1918 one did. Only because we have a much better idea of how to care for those who get sick now. Many then died of de-hydration and these days we use IV fluids to counter-act that. It could get bad but I don't see a...

    Speed limiter letter

    I agree, I don't like losing my engine when I need it. That is my first objection. I also resent the implication that they believe that I am too stupid to follow a speed limit without an on board nanny OR just assume that I am going to break the law, in other words, persumption of guilt...

    More BS about Fatigued Drivers

    Just refuse to answer the survey but be sure you are recording the conversation and be sure you inform the officer that you are recording the conversation for legal purposes. Get his/her name and badge number on tape. Layoutshooter

    What has our Goverment

    I don't know about all state employees but most federal employees pay a large percentage of thier health insurance costs. When I was with the DOD I paid 60%. When I worked for a city school system I only paid 20% and when I worked for the Pennsylvania DCNR I had no health care. Those PA state...

    What has our Goverment

    NASA was born out of the so-called Cold War to help develope missle systems. It was a very thinly veiled cover. The race to the moon was a secondary program. We needed to insure that we controlled the high ground, space in this instance, not the Soviets. Layoutshooter

    Assault weapons Ban

    No, not really. I had a great day, went fishing, visited with my wife's family AND took a great nap!! I just have no use what so ever for Obama. He hangs around with people who are the enemy of my Constitution, therefor I do not trust him in any way, shape or form. He wants the US to be subject...

    What has our Goverment

    Oh, I agree Greg, but, government has decided that they should have the monopoly on this. I don't like it, I think it is short sited and wrong. I think it has held us back. BUT, unless we can change it I would like to see the spending continue.Those jobs are better than welfare. Layoutshooter

    Assault weapons Ban

    He is just looking for a back door way to do it. As most cowards Barry does not like head to head fights. Not to worry, someone in congress will introduce it anyway, and if passed, he will sign it. Just as Russia has not changed it's spots, neither has the "Goober in the White House" He is a...

    Round Trip or Return Loads

    We often ask customers if they have return shipments or other freight moving. We even once got a load, returning helium tanks that we had just delivered. The customer mentioned that he had to arrange tranport back for the empties, we told him we could handle that for him and got dispatch on the...

    Has anyone found Morels yet?

    Why would you never eat one? They are wonderful and can be used in oh so many ways? Are you afraid you might get a wrong one? Not too likely, they are one of the easiest mushrooms to identify, all you need is a good book and you will be able to tell them apart. Layoutshooter

    Speaking of White Glove.....

    The truck I bought was in the fleet, not being replaced, and we had been running a White Glove truck for 2 years prior. The rules seem to change with every truck/team etc. We got 3 different stories, it changed each time we complained. We like FedEx, but this is one wart that really needs fixed...

    What has our Goverment

    Most of the work on GPS was done by private contractors. They were contracted to build the hardware and software. NASA was involed only to the extent that they control all US orbital launches. The agency I worked for performed much of the timing experiments on that project. We were working in...

    Speaking of White Glove.....

    Buying an exsiting White Glove truck that is still in a, for lack of a better term, White Glove slot does NOT get you into White Glove, you go on the list. We had too. We were White Glove 2 years prior to buying our own truck. We bought a truck that was in the fleet and White Glove. We were put...
