This is not a thread to argue the pros-cons or the right or wrong of the abortion issue. It is however a thread to discuss whether or not those of us who object to the proceedure, should be forced to pay for it. As far back as WW1, maybe furture I don't know for sure, it was possible to forgo...

The return on reefers will change from time to time just as the return on any truck. If the trend of fewer owners buying reefers continues it will make our reefer worth more. If the market is suddenly flooded with reefers it will be worth less. As in any business, the more you set yourself apart...

One of my favorite "character" actors is James Whitmore. My favorite Duvall movie is Second Hand Lions.. Layoutshooter

I have gone back to running everyday air in my tires vs. nitrogen. I was just having too much trouble finding places that could keep them up and the cost was too high. I bought a decent air compressor so I can get really good cold pressures at the house and I can keep it up on the road easier...

We are a TVAL White Glove truck. We have all the "tickets" you can get. D.O.D., hazmat, art etc. At least 30% of our work is reefer. Most of those loads pay very well. My hazmat work is down but I think that is due to the increase in government and art loads. We bought our truck used, a repo. It...

I am so sorry for your loss, OVM. I cannot even imagine how you feel. You and your family are in our prayers today. Joe

I have to agree, you are much better off in trucking than law. You must be honest!!!! It's bed time, good night all. Let's all hope for great runs come Monday and less government to interfere with them. Layoutshooter

Naw, I don't think so. Not if you can recognize the fact that your fellow students were snotty etc. That is one of the first steps to recovery!!!! If you can see your failings there is hope for you!!! Besides, most of the guns I own will rip through a kevlar vest like butter. Good thing I like...

I seem to remember that there was a 5 year period in VA at the beging of the colonial days when it was illegal to live there if you were a lawyer. Must have been a time of great peace and prosperity. LOL. Funny, lawyer suck, many polititions are lawyers, politiotions suck. It fits!!!! Hoover 2...

Heavy snow is just a pre-planned flood, you should know that. Obama is a joke, I have 4 years of free material thanks to him AND someone to blame on EVERYTHING that goes wrong, anywhere on the earth. Gee, how could we have alllll this extreme cold and heavy snow with global warming? Lake Erie is...

Cheri, no disrespect but, do you have any sense of humor at all? Surely you could see by the way OVM and I were going back and forth that it was tounge in cheek. Lighten up. Life sucks bad enough without being grumpy all the time. I laugh at these goobers all the time. Polititions are a big...

Yea, the Alaska run was in Nov. of 2005, our first year in the business. The month before we got a run to St. John's Newfoundland. No back haul from Alaska but the load paid SOOO good it was well above our minimum at the time INCLUDING the 5000 mi deadhead. Besides, it was worth way more than...

LOL, and I am just getting started!!!! Layoutshooter

Scrap the income tax, no tax on health insurance. Better yet, outlaw health insurance and really watch the cost of health care come down. Then outlaw lawyers. Layoutshooter

HEY!!! If they did that with Biden's sayings they would be borrowed twice!!! The first time quoting Biden and the second time from who ever Biden stole them from!!! Layoutshooter

The government has no business in the insurance business. Just look at the mess they caused with National Flood Insurance. We need to be slowly clearing flood plains not making easier to stay there or move into one. Layoutshooter

HEY!! I don't want National Health. I don't believe in all this socialism/marxism stuff. I would not trust the govenment to tie my shoe for me let alone run a health system. The government running health care makes as much sense as Ted Kennedy running a driving school. Layoutshooter

Yea, the press does tend to make a FEW mistakes every once in a while. Not to mention that they tend to "LEAN" a bit to the left. With SO many important things coming up, like nationalizing health care etc it would really be nice to get an accurate picture of BOTH sides of the issue so anything...

Same with my family backround. I did not see the light until I went into the Army. The press and the "Left's" story about what was going on in Viet Nam and the rest of the world during WW3 did not even come close to what was really happening. I would work on an "event" one day and then read...

They should but they NEVER do. Polititions are not the sharpest tacks in the box for the most part. Layoutshooter
