    S.C. valedictorian ignores FFRF, others

    OK, fine ya crybaby. Here's 76 of them. These don't even include the virtually countless lower court rulings that the Supreme Court refused to hear. The list would be much longer but I'm limited to 20,000 characters per post. Gibbons v. District of Columbia (1886) Should property owned...

    NTSB Says Straight-Truck Safety Needs More Attention

    They exempt under 10,000 vehicles because they don't pose an unreasonable threat to the general public, not more of a threat than any other car, van or light truck out there. If you're delivering poison that's HAZMAT in any quantity, you have to have a CDL with the endorsement to haul it...

    S.C. valedictorian ignores FFRF, others

    Do your own homework. No she didn't. She said it was "clearly unconstitutional." There's a difference. If she had said, "The Constitution says..." then you'd have a beef. But since the Superme Court rules it unconstitutional, there ya go, clear as day. No, they're all based on precedent. I do...

    NTSB Says Straight-Truck Safety Needs More Attention

    Depends on the state. There's only like three states that still issue chauffeur's licenses for that. The rest of them, it's regular operator or CDL, nothing in between. Personally, I think it's retarded to not require a CDL if you drive a CMV which requires logging and scaling. Especially in...

    The truth is what matters. Not only does a false statement create a false record and false impression, if it's ever questioned at a later date it's impossible to address, much less defend. If it's important enough to record the turndown, then it should be equally as important to accurately...

    S.C. valedictorian ignores FFRF, others

    The Supreme Court has a couple dozen rulings where it says that. C'mon man <snap snap snap>, gotta keep up!

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    Here's a new one to get outraged over. The Washington Post and The Guardian reported that the NSA and FBI can scour the nation's main Internet companies, extracting audio, video, emails and other documents to help analysts track not just a person's Internet goings on, but a person's movements...

    Is trucking a good substitute for divorce?

    I have the distinct feeling that his definition of "a wife" just might, though. "I was getting a wife not a roommate." "she either changes" Gives one pause.

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    Trust me... they'll let a van sit and rot. There's simply no need for them to move a van, because unlike trucks, they are not short of vans anywhere they could move a van to. Panther empty moving a van is a very rare thing indeed.

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    Not only will people turn a blind eye to whatever "their man" does wrong (be they Republican or Democrat) but in this case, people are so enamored with him that they figure whatever he does, he has a good and just reason for doing it. Noting the Nixon era isn't that far off, where Nixon said...

    Ice less coolers

    WQhen I carried mine, before expediting, I was in a motel room every night. I'd have it plugged into the 12-volt outlet in the car and then I'd take into the room and use the 120-volt adapter for it. So it ran pretty much 24/7. The Coleman draws 4 amps at 12 volts, so it'll definitely kill a...

    Ice less coolers

    I carried a Coleman Powerchill cooler with me for 8 years before I started expediting, and for the first 4 years of expediting before I got my Microfridge. I found it to work quite well. On cooler days, below 70 degrees, I had to be careful not to let lettuce freeze in there. But it kept things...

    The stuff that's come out, from Fast and Furious to targeted killings of American citizens to the IRS targeting Tea Partiers to invading the privacy of Americans to the revenge on unflattering leaks to... well, the list goes disturbingly on and on, and every one of these that comes out is even...

    The same way you can post here using someone's account other than your own. Unless you explicitly identify yourself in each and every post you make with someone else's account, you are impersonating another member, which is expressly forbidden and makes the account subject to immediate ban.

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    First we have Eric Holder going bonkers with arrogance with him wanting to change the laws and regulations that prevent him from doing his job as he sees fit without him being hamstrung by that pesky piece of paper known as the US Constitution. Holder and Obama already have a fine history of...
