I can see that you don't need any help polishing your star, eh? You got that job covered all by yourself!! You are right about one thing, there are as many opinions on this business as there are drivers. At least mine is worth something!!! LOL!!! :p

Yeah, anyone that falls for those worn out ideas that corporations only support ReBumLiCans is more foolish than a than a person that buys a house without a home inspection.

Now why am I not surprised? LOL!! :D

That's what I thought. Maybe it is better to just allow it, then at least you would know, sort of, who is paying the bill for who. Like all those health care lobists paying the freight for the Dumb-O-Crat in MA. 17 of the 22 that were at her fundraiser were from health care companies. So much...

Welcome to the forums. Read, read, read. Like everyone else has said. Take you time, while you won't be earning any money you might avoid losing everything. Ask any question you can think of, you might get ribbed a bit, but what the heck, we all did!! Good luck and don't be a stranger.

I like and understand the part about no union or corporate support. I don't understand the rest. I am not good at that kind of stuff. Not that I believe for one minute that in this country, or Canada for that matter, that the unions and corporations don't find a way to "sneak" money for...

You just asked the "zillion dollar" questions my friend. The answer may vary from day to day and truck to truck. Are you running for an owner? What kind of truck are you running? What requirements does the owner you drive for have? If you are an O/O, what is your basic costs per mile...

I don't believe that the labor unions or corporations should be allowed to contribute to any candidate or issue. Having said that, you must allow the corps to if you are going to allow the unions.

How can they stay in business? They would have to charge much higher rates for normal commercials to cover the cost. Electricity costs the same for every add. I am confused. Nothing new.

Don't take it personal, you asked good questions from a rookie standpoint, which you are. You will get the hang of this quickly. The basics are easy, making money is not so easy.

I have found a few where I could walk, most tend to be surrounded by concrete. There is that nice field by Expediters Row at Bordentown. You can walk around it during daylight hours. It is fairly safe and the rats are only out at night. It is easy on knees.

Who pays for the air time? It costs just as much to air a political add as it does a show. How do they decide which candidate gets air time? I could see it in this country, only Obama would have recieved the freebies on the 3 networks and McCain could have only got on Fox. At least during prime...

It is a shame that the truck stops are so icky. Many are not all that safe either. A nice track around the stops would be sooo nice. Not concrete, something fairly soft, like a thick mulch track. Concrete is very hard on knees. Mine are shot as it is. I can walk in the woods all day long but a...

Who pays for the air time? How do you decide who gets to put on a commercial? What happens if you have 200 candidates for one office? Who pays for newspaper adds? Billboards? Signs?

How can you set limits? Is the cost of tv or radio time somehow less for political adds? I don't know the answer. You can't have "free" adds, who would pay the air time? Running those stations is not cheap.

When is MATS this year? We like to go but we won't unless we find ourselves close. We are planning on the Expo, that we will most likely take off for.

Money buys TV, radio and newspaper adds which allows the speech to be heard. That is the current argument. All of them have term limits, 2 years for the congress, 6 for the senate and 4 for the president. That is why I keep saying that this is 100% the fault of the people, we just keep right on...

"What? Help? Have you not already determined that I am God's gift to expediting?" :p I did, but I was going to teach you what mistakes to avoid!!! I have, after all, made everyone of them!!! Good luck out here!!

We need a LOT of balloons in here!! :p
