    FMCSA New Initiative to Validate Driver Medical Cards

    They won't even be asking for anything on the long form. All they're doing its verifying that the information on your medical card matches the information that the medical examiner has. Someone used the phrase "valid medical card". Well, define "valid", and is the DOT just supposed to take your...

    I think it'll be awesome if Bimbo out of Mexico buys at least some of the brands. I'd buy a box of Bimbo Ho-Hos.

    FMCSA New Initiative to Validate Driver Medical Cards

    Yep. The medical card will be on file with the state, and driver's won't even have to carry the card anymore. The article above, all they're doing is, they'll call the doctor's office that's listed on the card, and ask if they did, in fact, issue the medical card to the driver. The DOT officer...

    Five-Hour Energy Linked to Heart Attacks

    It's 5 Hour Energy, not 12. Doesn't matter how large or small of a dose, since as you said, excess B12 exits the body unused. So the large amount of B12 is mostly a waste of money, using your own statements. The reference daily intake of B12 is 2-3 mcg. The amount of B12 in 5 Hour Energy is...

    Good grief. OK, first, if you want to make as much money in a cargo van that you can in a straight truck, then yes, you have to drive a lot of miles. But you don't have to drive them unsafely. In any case, the vast majority of expedite line haul lengths do not even present a situation where you...

    Expediting Industry Question

    Then might I suggest you address the misinformation, without beating down the person who provided it. Is your goal to clear up and prevent misunderstandings, to provide information, to be helpful.... or is it to berate someone?

    Nevermind Texting While Driving...

    At first glance you might think this is an expediter, or a cop car. But it's just a guy to can't get away from the office. (AP) — Forget texting while driving. German police say they nabbed a driver who had wired his Ford station wagon with an entire mobile office...

    I tried Red Bull a while back. I then learned why they call is Red Bull. It's because it tastes like the pee of a red bull.

    Expediting Industry Question

    I'll echo Dynamite's comments, and also single out this misinformed statement: Some carriers want a van or straight on every corner so that when a load pops up on the computer they can easily and quickly cover it. If no load pops up, they'll let you sit and rot, for-ever, until one does pops up...

    Some Wal-mart employees planning a strike/walkout

    Walmart was becoming known for cheap crap from China, and their cheap clientele, thanks to their "Always low prices. Always" slogan. Notice the new slogan, and the somewhat higher quality of most of their merchandise, "Save money. Live better." They went with the ""Save money. Live better"...

    Well I'm fixed. Engine wiring harness repaired, and a new water pump while they were at it. There was a short inside the wiring harness itself, down by the engine just below and behind the fuel filter on the Sprinter. The wires wear in the harness, and laying on a bracket or some other metal...

    Tearing down a landmark in Detroit

    It's sad, because housing projects have such a good record at providing affordable housing for working class people, and making productive citizens out of its residents.

    Not at all, but planting a false rumor with the union workers of a buyer would not benefit the company in any way. It would result in the union doing exactly what they did... standing their ground, not listening to the truth, and calling the company's bluff, which wasn't a bluff. Now the company...

    Yeah, it used to be they did actual clinical trials, in clinics, before drugs got approved. Over the last few years the clinical trials are de facto public clinical trials, and when they get too many negative results they recall the drugs, in effect ceasing the trials on drugs that should have...
