    Whats wrong with a name tag?

    Name tags can come off. So can clothes. Heads, probably not.

    First Lady's False Fairy Tale of Struggle

    She learned it from Vanilla Ice, and Eminem, which has an irony all of its own.

    Paragraph 4. Yes, I know you said that. But the Tea Party isn't even a small part of the blame, much less a large part. It's a symptom, therefore cannot be the problem. But if you look at the compromises on ObamaCare, nearly all of them were on the side that isn't Democrat. ObamaCare itself...

    What are the Roads You'd Rather Not Travel?

    My least favorite stretch of routinely traveled road is I-40 between Knoxville and Asheville. I hate it, hate it, hate it. Give me straight and flat any day. State Route 299 Between Redding and Eureka, CA is not one of my favorites. Neither is State Route 66 between Klamath Falls and Ashland...

    Pending Violence?

    An excellent example of the "us versus them" and having no tolerance for the other side or even willing to discuss it. You're already blaming Romney for something he hasn't even done, because just the mere thought of him being president is unacceptable, despite the fact the the current president...

    C van markings

    Or plated in Michigan. They have their own rules.

    Pending Violence?

    Yes, I know. Those weren't very well received, either. And they were different than what Obama has done and is doing, although not by much. That's the problem, Obama has taken what previous presidents did, which were questionable already, and built upon it. This is a guy who promised Hope and...

    Panther is loaded with cargo van drivers with no experience. It's practically their bread and butter.

    Of course not. I've never denied that more space would almost certainly mean more opportunities. How could it not? But I do know it's rather rare for me to miss out on a three-skid load, and instead get no load at all. It happens, to be sure, but like last weekend, I missed out on the three...

    FEDEX CC folks

    If you do get a White Glove truck and want to take your dog with you anyway, it's important that the dog be highly trained to not react to a dog whistle. And to not look out the window of the sleeper, and to not lick the inside of the window of the sleeper. Basically, the dog needs to be trained...

    Pending Violence?

    All bets are off. Obama has already acted, with disturbing regularity, outside the bounds of the Constitution. He and his administration have reinterpreted existing laws, and issued Executive Orders to redefine the checks and balances. Bush had already started doing that, and Obama picked up...

    Pending Violence?

    The riots at the DNC in 1968 was very different than what is simmering now. In 1968 it was mostly issue oriented (civil rights, cultural, and war protests) and directed at the Democrats, and directed at the single location of Chicago. There were certainly other demonstrations in the preceding...

    What First Class Air Service Should Be

    I thought Swiss Air was impressive. The service was, but they didn't have planes like that back then (35 years ago).

    May be. It cost me a load this past weekend, 1200 miles Friday for Tuesday delivery, Troy, MI to Orlando. I got to the pickup and the shipper needed (and requested) 12 feet, I only have 9 feet. But it's not a load I would have wanted if it meant nowhere to sleep for three or four nights other...

    I think the owner paying for fuel and everything, and driving for a flat rate, that 32 cents is a fair rate. There are certainly weeks and months where that's all I pay myself, and sometimes not even that. But I do try, normally, to pay myself 32 CPM, just as a way to keep track of things, as a...
