    Deep sea mining 'gold rush' moves closer

    Unless it's salt or spices or corn or something. Let's just hope (for your sake) it's not strips of bacon or pulled pork sandwiches.

    New Load One Gold Rewards Program!

    I thought about handhelds and cell phone GPS devices immediately, but just as immediately realized that they aren't inherently dangerous. They're only dangerous if you use them in a dangerous manner. Handhelds, cell phones, Nuvis, they all have mounts so you can set them down while driving.

    President Obama makes Marine break protocol.. and hold an umbrella over him?

    Article 2 Section 2 of the US Constitution: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States." Later legislation expanded the Army and Navy to that of all...

    Deep sea mining 'gold rush' moves closer

    Here's an interesting take on some of this. It's a bit dated, 2003, but what's most interesting about it is that in the intervening years it has turned out to be spot-on. But as far is whether your retirement is $ based, FIAT based, or physical gold based, it really won't matter much. It's a...

    New Load One Gold Rewards Program!

    I answered TRUE and got it wrong. So, I gotta ask... exactly what type of GPS devices are UNsafe for all types of drivers? Are we talking about GPS devices which contain Li-Ion batteries that can get too hot and explode like a hand grenade? Are we talking about locator GPS devices that...

    Gave Canton a day then Winona a day and then Friday headed towards home for the weekend. But, I ladled chum out the back of the boat and let my line trail a bit to see if I could get anything. Pulled in to Jackson, TN to get things cleaned up and stowed away, and as I was filling the reel with...

    President Obama makes Marine break protocol.. and hold an umbrella over him?

    Yeah, but Title 10 is very specific and trumps any military manual written under it. Tacky? That's putting it mildly. It's so silly looking that it looks like a SNL skit. At least the Marine holding the umbrella for Regan as he exited Marine One at Camp David didn't look comical.

    President Obama makes Marine break protocol.. and hold an umbrella over him?

    The article states that according to the Marine Corps Manual, not even the President can order a marine to carry an umbrella, buy that's not exactly entirely accurate. The President is not an officer, he's the Commander in Chief. Title 10 of the U.S. Code states that members of the Marine Corps...

    Darwin was wrong?

    But that's how science works. Theories are tested, and whatever parts of the theory aren't affirmed gets altered to fit the facts, or they get discarded. :rolleyes:

    Nothing noble or magnanimous about piling on, either.

    That one with 14 BOLs, it was one skid with 14 boxes on it. Each box was a different part, and a different order, so they did each one on a separate BOL. Incidentally, when you scan in the paperwork, you max out at 10 pages, as well. :D

    Darwin was wrong?

    Even Darwin said the tree wasn't an accurate depiction, that it was probably more of a dense thicket than something as simple as a tree. But this is how science works. Theories are tested, and whatever parts of the theory aren't affirmed gets altered to fit the facts, or they get discarded...

    Truck GPS options

    Xiggi has the right answer. When Garmin introduced lifetime maps on some units, they differentiated those as "LM" models. They also had units with upgradable maps, they just weren't free updates for life, that were simply "M" models without the "L." The units with integrated traffic were...

    Thanks. It helps. I just find it odd (amusing) that we've got this super dooper handy dandy Workflow thingy, and we're reduced to entering load information in a Free Form message. Couple of weeks ago I had a load, 1 skid, 1 pickup 1 drop, that had 14 BOLs. The QC exploded.

    Pilot/J accused of rebate fraud, Millions of $

    Drivers boycotting Pilot to what end? It's the carriers that were damaged, not the drivers. Carriers getting, or not getting, their rebates from Pilot doesn't really affect the drivers. A boycott really wouldn't accomplish anything.

    I'd like to know what Page 3 of the "Loaded at Shipper" is for. Page 1, you enter the BOL, confirm the delivery address, pieces and weight. Page 2 is to enter a bunch of stuff we don't have to enter. Page 3 has fields to enter up to nine additional BOLs with pieces and weight. Whenever I...

    Question Dr. lose child to CPS

    Re: Question Dr., lose child to CPS Actually, no. That wasn't what started it. What started it was everything in Post #20 except the line you just quoted. The line quoted above was the one and only opinion in that post that you stated as opinion, and everything else you stated in the post was...
