    Clearly, you haven't spent much time talking with Panther van drivers.

    listening to drivers complain......

    Spoken like a true union member. "The worker is the most important! The worker deserves a bigger slice of the pie!" Never mind the worker is performing a task for compensation and didn't invest a dime in infrastructure or administration, and in the case of expediting the worker is performing a...

    Sleep apnea

    Spenda contains no aspartame. The site www.truthaboutsplenda.com is a site financed and operated by the sugar industry. The whole scary, scary, scary wood alcohol to formaldehyde thing with aspartame, and that aspartame has been proved responsible for an epidemic of cancer, brain tumors, and...

    Ah, yes, Ohio. The "marked lane violation" is a popular one. Frankly, I'd consult an attorney on that one, depending on how many times you busted the lane. If it was just once, they got no case, because they have no reasonable suspicion to stop you. If it was 3 (or maybe twice, I'm not sure, but...

    listening to drivers complain......

    There are several people here who post almost exclusively via their phones (smartphones, not flip phones). You can surf the Web, do e-mail, watch videos, read forums, everything. There's even an EO app just for, you know, EO.

    listening to drivers complain......

    The problem is you are trying to enlighten some very experienced and savvy drivers, many of whom are also currently or have been brokers themselves. We're not nearly as ignorant as you think we are. You got your surmised negativity and opposition in this thread because we've heard it before. You...

    It's generally a dead giveaway that I'm posting from my phone instead of the laptop. :D

    Sleep apnea

    Yep. It's all more or less the same. Real, actual food instead of invented food.

    listening to drivers complain......

    I love it when someone comes on here with the employee mentality and suggests that all of these expediting small business owners should go on strike. It would be like trying to get all the dry cleaners in a city to go on strike so they could charge more for their dry cleaning services.

    Pay it or fight it

    A single solid white line is intended to discourage, but not prohibit you from changing lanes (crossing double solid white lines is prohibited everywhere). Although in some states crossing a single solid white line is illegal (NJ for sure). If you decide to cross a solid white line...

    Sleep apnea

    More or less same as Amonger, cutting way back on the carbs, and paying attention to what kind of carbs I do eat. I'm very familiar with the Atkins Diet, so it's basically that. Most people don't know what Atkins is, they think it's no-no-no carbs. But that's not it at all. Read the book. You...

    Fort Hood Nidal Hasan shooting trial judge removed

    Hasan is a fool. With a full beard he will look like a fanatical terrorist in the eyes of the jury of his military peers, who are already in a position of not being exactly impartial.

    Talk to Safety at your carrier. You don't want to fail to report something like that, for sure, but they may have a suggestion.

    Sleep apnea

    I'm having a hard time reconciling the freedom to get fat with the notion of being a slave to a treadmill and addicted to endorphins in order to become free. Be that as it may, I need to get my BMI down below 35 in order to be free from unnecessary sleep testing since I don't have sleep apnea...

    Harvard - Only the Best and Brightest Go There

    Absolutely. College tuition has risen is direct proportion not to inflation or other costs, but to the rapid influx of federal dollars into the student loan and grants arena. The more federal dollars there are available, the faster and higher the tuition rises. You get a real keen insight on...

    Sleep apnea

    If by "this or that" you mean not understanding and properly taking care of batteries, properly charging them and correctly sizing them, I agree. I'm not saying a generator is a bad idea, but I flat refute the notion that a CPAP machine REQUIRES a generator, because I know for a stone cold fact...

    Sleep apnea

    No. But I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Actually my stepdad has one. We tested it out for practicality and measured the Wattage draw (using the very handy Kill-A-Watt Meter - at fine stores and Lowes & Walmarts nationwide), both to find out the electrical cost at the house and...

    Harvard - Only the Best and Brightest Go There

    Wow, and I thought I could be pedantic. Yes, the students get the money, but if you think Harvard doesn't get a cut of that when the students enroll at inflated tuition prices, well think again.
