Very interesting article. I highlighted in red areas that I believe are important. The Bell Tolls for the Government Unions In 1919, after Boston police went on strike to protest the city's refusal to recognize their new union, Gov. Calvin Coolidge ordered the National Guard into the...

He wants to destroy the one we have even more.

OH goody! A person who I would never vote for, endorsing a person I would never vote for, who is running against a thingamabob that I would never vote for. Gotta love it!

There is no need to be insulting other members in here. If you don't like it here, please feel free to leave. If you chose to play, play nice.

I don't have any dispatchers. I have only one truck, mine. That's it. End of sked. AR AR. DIT DIT AR K.

One of my jobs as a mod is to make you feel nnneeedded. Happy to be os service.

If I were more careful then you wouold have nothing to do! :D

Hey, you are the one that said no other fields have a dispatch system, not me. Libel is NOT a good thing. I suggest you don't partake in it. Someone might sue you. I would be happy to testify for them. 80% are dirt bags? That does not match up with ANYTHING I see out here. Why are you here if...

Taxi's are dispatched, I used to do that. Some buses are. Some exterminating services are. I would venture to guess that there are LOTS of businesses that use some sort of dispatch system. Of course I have a 'customer' it is FDCC.

Yeah, so? When dispatched, we ran. Time of day, the weather, did not matter. At OUR expense, in time, money, health and often, lives. It was also far HARDER, both physically and mentally, than what I do now and ever MORE dangerous. It was WORK.

Not in the slightest. My company, J.M. Expediting LLC has ONE paying customer, that is FedEx Custom Critical. It is all a matter of perspective.

I guess it depends on how you look at it and what part of the industry you are in. FECC is my 'customer', they pay me for the use of my truck and labor.

A dope? I don't THINK so. I was both a firefighter and EMT. I was employed by NO ONE. In fact MOST firefighters and EMT's are NOT PAID nor employed by ANYONE. It is also a good idea NOT to call people you don't know names.

What other fields have a dispatch system? Firefighting and emergency medicine are two I can think of off hand. Those ARE both 'forced dispatch'.

It needs a space to conceal a handgun to be REALLY effective!

Yeah, there is a REAL shoe store near my house, they carry NB. I will try them again next time I need shoes. They even MEASURE you for size!

I have tried to buy them from time to time but find that they don't seem to fit me very well. Must be something in the design of their last design. They are all too big for my heels.

I have been in this business for 7 years now. Had I taken EVERY load offered to me over that time I would have been OUT of business 6 years ago. Run loads that make a profit. Loads that don't cost YOU money. IMHO of course.

Insane is one word for it. Dastardly is how I would describe it. Turning boys into wimps is NOT a good idea, unless you are out to rule them. Act like a normal boy these days and you are likely to be drugged.

On June 6th, 1944, my Dad was deep in the jungles of Burma. They were cut off from the main supply lines and were being supplied by mule trains. His unit was directing air strikes onto enemy landing strips. They had to 'eyeball' the landing strips, that is CLOSE, and call the strikes in. Often...
