    Football is war. The Romans paid the lions under the table.

    Rush to Judgement

    I won't go as far to say Tallcal IS a troll.... but he is, and always has been, very troll-like.

    March Banter and Location

    I hate deadheading in the same direction that paying freight would also take me. I hate it, hate it, hate it. You have no idea how much I hate it, hate it, hate it.

    How many miles is too many? (used cargo van)

    At 200,000 miles, like Dennis said, I'd want all of the maintenance records. But even if you do or don't, be prepared to spend some money on it to fix whatever needs fixing. At 200,000 a lot of things that haven't been replaced will have to be, so you had probably plan on replacing them right...

    Panther Sitting at Truck Stops

    Then be more clear in your prose and communicate more effectively. You responded directly to someone about a Panther issue in a thread entitled "Panther Sitting at Truck Stops", which implicitly infers you are talking about Panther, unless you took it upon youself to change the topic of the...

    FSC shell game

    It was originally implemented as a way to deal with contracted rates without having to redo the contract every week to deal with the volatile price of diesel fuel. The contracts were left in place, and a FSC was added to cover the additional cost of fuel. The FSC could then be quickly and easily...

    The NFL will come down hard on this, to make an example out of it.

    New sign on with Panther in a CV 70 cents a mile

    Wow. You really should call Panther and impart your wisdom, because they're never thought of any of that stuff. Actually, it only allows you to lay down when you need it in certain circumstances. If you need to take your break 13 or 14 hours into the trip, fine. But if you need your break 8...

    The Stoning of Soraya M.

    Almost 2/3 of the world's women currently reside in countries where abortion may be obtained on request for a wide variety of reasons, including social, economic, personal, and no reason whatsoever. Only eight countries prohibit under any circumstances. All Muslim nations permit it in certain...

    With every contract there is an implied covenant between both parties whereby they agree not to damage the reputation and goodwill value of the other. Parking your lettered truck or van next to a smut shop is not the way to uphold your end of that contract.

    Slowing down to save fuel and increase

    I dunno. My last chipped windshield came while driving 35 MPH when a flatbed passed me at 40 MPH in Falfurrias, TX as we were slowing down coming into town.

    another stupid question

    That's about how far away I like to stay from there, too. :D No, there's really not a lot of expedite that goes to the city. It's odds and ends, mostly. Although, Panther gets a lot of stuff in and out of there, mostly to places out on Long Island, and to and from JFK. Whenever I was around...

    "Take it away from us, Jesus"

    Well, partially made up. I've seen them stop and turn and go right after a trailer. Seen it twice. I swear there's something about trailers that attract them. :D Last summer I watched one similar to the one in the video above begin to form, then form and drop down, do some damage to two houses...

    Led light problems

    That's it. The LEDs pull less wattage, and the control module thinks the lights are burned out. You need to wire in a resistor that matches the resistance of the OEM bulbs to fake the computer into thinking the original OEM bulbs are in place and lit. You need one resistor for each bulb. They're...

    There's nothing wrong with smut. It's just not a good idea to link your carrier to it. As for Chix on Dix, there's a really funny joke about dyslexia in there somewhere, but I just haven't figured it out yet.

    The Stoning of Soraya M.

    The things people do in other countries and other cultures can sometimes be horrifying. We do things here in America which horrify other cultures.
