    Come on now, Mr. Reality Check. It's easy to be holier than thou when you're running a load that pays per mile what your current load pays. I'm just sayin... :D

    Basically, anything that's unusual about the load. Or, rather anything dispatch doesn't want to be forthcoming about because they're afraid it'll cause us to not take the load. :D I can respect forthcoming, even if it's information I don't like. As to the "Let's Play A Deal" mentality...

    It's a fair question. I'd like to read the answer, too. I think it might be interesting on several levels. :)

    Just look at what's been said. It's not primarily about cheap freight, since we all know than not every load will be a home run. The issue is the failure to communicate anything unusual about a load when the load is given and accepted. "Unusual" being, among other things, an abnormally low rate...

    CIA operatives in Libya told to stand down during attack

    It's in the article in two places. One, where Gelb wrote that he was privy to the same intelligence briefing as Susan Rice, saying, "Her (Rice) mistake was taking the initial intelligence at face value," and "The White House briefers made the same error, and so did I," which clearly implicates...

    "Moving day"???

    Where did I say that procreation was the sole reason for people to get married, or the only reason to allow people to be married? Nowhere, that's where. Having children is not the litmus test, or the Turtle Test, and I never even hinted that it was. The union of a man and a woman is the litmus...

    The Future of Expediting; Yes or No?

    I dunno, speeding? They aren't getting tickets for exceeding their GVWR, unless their GVWR is above 10,000 pounds, or unless they de-rated the vehicle down to below 10,001 and they weigh more than that. I don't know of a single state where it is against the law to exceed the GVWR, except the few...

    "Moving day"???

    Marriage is not in the Constitution, but it is nevertheless one of the Fundamental Rights (which is why it's so important to gays to be able to redefine what marriage means). The important case in the US that declared the right to marry as a fundamental right was Loving v Virginia, which...

    The Future of Expediting; Yes or No?

    Just to clarify a point, unregulated vehicles (cars, light trucks, anything under 10,000 lbs) can legally run heavier than their GVWR, in most cases. There are a few states that have laws regarding exceeding the tire rating by a specific amount (usually illegal if the weight exceed the tire...

    "Moving day"???

    There isn't anything in the New Testament that mentions homosexuality in any context. Of course, the term itself and the entire notion of homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality, sexual orientation, are modern terms that one wouldn't expect to find in any text prior to about the 18th...

    "Moving day"???

    I never said there weren't. There have pretty much always been exceptions. There are today, even in the state where same-sex marriage is not an option. I've been to some of the agenda-ized Web sites where they scour through history looking for example after example of same-sex marriage, trying...

    "Moving day"???

    I really like some of the red herring and straw man arguments being made, although they are all still from a solid emotional base of "I want it, and I want it badly, therefore I should have it." It's really no different than a child throwing a temper tantrum in the candy aisle at the grocery...

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    That's some tough talk coming from a chunk of pig between two halves of a bun. Abe Lincoln (US President who freed the slaves), Mary Todd Lincoln (crazy wife of Abe), Muhammed Ali (draft dodger, and butterfly and bee impressionist), Cassius Marcellus Clay (US Ambassador to Russia, and one of...

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    I agree with you. But the problem the Angry White Men have is, they are fighting a losing demographic battle. We see evidence of that whenever someone on here posts about how the Republicans need to move more to the right, need to get back to the core "traditional" values (which is code for...

    "Moving day"???

    Yes, times change, and it's society that changes them. "People like you"? Really? If you're going to attack the person with the "you" word, then YOU really should pay more attention to who YOU are attacking. Be a little more observant, or quit using the word YOU in your responses. *I* don't...

    "Moving day"???

    They absolutely are now, thanks to the rejection of civil unions by gay activists back in the 1970s and 1980s. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was an indirect direct response to that rejection, where gay rights activists refused to accept civil unions without the word "Marriage" being...

    "Moving day"???

    No, it was ALWAYS defined as a man and a woman. Throughout the entire history of marriage, more than 99 percent of them have been between two people of the opposite sex. Exceptions have been made, more of them in some cultures, but even in those cultures the same-sex marriages were the exception...
