    how are CVs running lately?

    Depends on several things, like how large the fleet is and how long the QC units have been paid for. A small carrier with new QC units, the weekly QC fees are probably not much of a revenue stream at all, since the monthly usage fees on a per-unit average paid to Qualcomm are higher for smaller...

    Very perceptive. Leaving Panther after five years was hardly a snap decision. Months, even years went into it, as "Should I try somewhere else?" is a question always in the back of your mind, or at least it was with me. I was with Con-Way NOW and ended up being caught in the claws and jaws of...

    Bottom Feeders!

    The problem, of course, is the people those vans are sold to will use them to enter expediting. :D

    Hurricane Irene: history or hysteria?

    As North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue said, "She may be a One, but she's a mean One," People get complacent about a Category One hurricane, but it's still a hurricane, and they're all mean at any category.

    Al-qaeda's no.2 killed

    That doesn't even make sense from a common sense perspective, and it's 180 degrees from both the experts and the reality. Hatred of the US is rising all over the world, not because they are jealous of us, but because of our hegemonic foreign policies. World opinion of the US has gone down...

    Is this an infringement on us and illegals rights?

    People are against it on slippery-slope Constitutional issues. Illegal Search and Seizure, Right the Privacy. Blanket drug testing when safety isn't the primary overriding factor has been rules illegal by the Supreme Court, who also overturned nearly identical Michigan laws regarding drug...

    liberal bias in the media.

    I'm still trying to find the bias. I know it's there, I just can't see it. The story seems to be about one democrat in particular whining about one republican in particular.

    I think all drivers, even soccer moms, should have to take the CDL test.

    How big is yours? And why do some keep touching it while driving?

    Ditto the above. I'll tinker to see the next few turns, but rarely to zoom in our out. I find a 4-inch screen more than large enough to see the little car thingy in the center of it.

    Ending The Selective Service System

    You keep saying there's no reason, but if you read the Supreme Court decision, you'll read the reason. Things have certainly changed today from what they were in 1981, but the reason still stands, as does the law. At the request of Bill Clinton, the DoD reviewed the issue, but concluded that the...

    Ending The Selective Service System

    I still think everyone should have 2 years of mandatory government service of some sort, be it serving in the military or sweeping the floors of the county court house, or whatever. That will let people take back ownership of their governments at the local, state and federal level, and return it...

    Al-qaeda's no.2 killed

    Clearing out whole towns? And will the mushroom cloud be able to discriminate between those on a jihad and those who aren't?

    Al-qaeda's no.2 killed

    The idea itself still wouldn't be defeated, which is my point. You can stack bodies all the way to the sky, but the religious-based idea will always be there. Unless you kill the religion, of course. But that has implications of its own.

    I don't disagree, but until Congress changes the law, it won't happen.

    Ending The Selective Service System

    That comes from the prevailing attitudes of the American public during the times in which the Draft was active - they refused to allow women in combat positions, which is what the Draft was for, and the whole purpose of the military was protect the women and children back home...

    Al-qaeda's no.2 killed

    It's very tough to defeat an idea, especially one that's religious-based.
