    Superbowl party

    11.2 million pounds of potato chips, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, 4.3 million pounds of pretzels, 3.8 million pounds of popcorn and 2.5 million pounds of nuts. The average armchair quarterback will consume 1200 calories and 50 grams of fat from snacking and that doesn’t even count...

    Inmates on work crew save 3 boys from frigid Washington river

    Should this story NOT be newsworthy because the rescuers were convicts? Every time someone jumps in a river to save drowning kids, it's a newsworthy event regardless of who is doing the jumping. If they had been forest rangers or firefighters or Boy Scouts or just hikers in the woods it would...

    Another Obama failure

    "Whether ignoring the group or rejecting its recommendations, the president treated his Jobs Council as more of a nuisance than a vehicle to spur job creation." Sounds exactly like the Driver Council at an unnamed carrier. :D

    Why does panther put you on a pro before you even accept?!

    The smart ones pick their battles and won't waste time on things they can't control.

    Why does panther put you on a pro before you even accept?!

    As unreliable, someone they can't count on. I have no idea. I wouldn't think so, though, since dispatcher already expect it to be difficult to get people to accept loads which pay cheaper than normal. It's those drivers who will refuse anything under a certain number of miles, or a certain...

    Why does panther put you on a pro before you even accept?!

    No I don't. Why would I? I concern myself far more with the loads I'm offered and how I run my business than I do with the loads and businesses of others. I accept and reject loads for my own reasons, same as everyone else. But that doesn't make me blind and ignorant as to how carriers and...

    L-Track vs. E-Track for floor of cargo van

    I was born in western Kentucky. And I've lived 2/3 of my life here. The rest has been divided up between my formative years in Cincinnati with a couple of years here and there in Ft. Lauderdale (awesome), New Jersey (hated it), Pittsburgh (I'm a Reds and Bengals fan, so... hated it), and...

    Temperature Gauge on Sprinter Van

    Under normal conditions (between about 50 degrees and 80 degrees, on non-hilly roads) the temp of a Sprinter will hover around the 184 mark, between 178 and `190 for most. When it's hot or going uphill, it'll will go up into the 190s or low 200s, but will quickly drop back down to around 184...

    Question

    I would think 40% would qualify as a significant investment. Charging separate weekly fees for a generator is just as absurd as charging weekly fees for the use of a steering wheel.

    Legal replacement for banned assault rifles

    Except that at 10 or 15 feet it won't even penetrate a cardboard box. Myth BUSTED!

    Sarah Palin - $15.85 per word

    Same here. I quit watching Hannity several years ago, and O'Reilly long before that, specifically because they are too difficult to watch. About the only one I can watch at length is Robin Meade, and I can watch her with the sound on or off, doesn't matter to me. :D

    Matthews is an amateur compared to Hannity.

    Sarah Palin - $15.85 per word

    FOX News paid Sarah Palin $15.85 per word, study finds I don't know which is more pathetic, that Fox News paid her at all, much less $15.85 per word, or the fact that someone actually took the time to count her words.

    Re: When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Coll Smaller carriers don't really need a QC, but larger carriers do. While tracking a delivery can be important, the biggest benefit of a QC in expediting is the carrier being able to know where you are, in an...
