I have read, several times, and studied the Telecommunicatios Acts of 1934 and of 1996 and their amendments. I know them well. My research hardly consisted of a Blog, a newspaper article and Wiki. The wording of a few salient paragraphs was concise and easily understandable, so I used those...

Well, runs go to St Louis every day. There's four right there, one picking up in Cleveland, one picking up in Indianapolis, another in Ft Wayne, and the other in Detroit. Too bad you're sitting in Charlotte. Oh, wow, here's a load picking up in Charlotte in an hour, delivers to Dallas. The loads...

Your command is my wish. Good luck! :)

What's funny is that I'm now going to have to sit here and explain to you the sarcasm and why I used it. I will also have to wonder, out loud, probably more than once, why you didn't read the editorial I linked to, or the entirely of what I wrote, or if you did read it then why didn't you...

NEW YORK - The S&P Index fell a bazillion points in this week's trading. In a, like, totally unrelated development, Standard & Poor reduced the credit rating of the United States from AAA to AA-Plus. "That'll learn 'em," S&P said in a statement issued late Friday.

Clearly, even fewer read the article than I anticipated. And fewer still have even heard of the Telecommunications Acts of 1934 and of 1996 and what all they are supposed to do, and why. Most would rather just be frothy, and what's more, frothy over the wrong things for the wrong reasons...

If anyone has them, McMaster-Carr will.

The problem with the sig, and now the justification, is that Ron Paul, while many of his ideas are good, not all of them are, and steering away from the rocks is but one of several thousand tasks he must perform. If it were as simplistic as in the narrative, then it's a no-brainer. But it's not...

Anything maintenance-wise might not have had anything to do with the turbo. The turbo is a piece of metal and they can sometimes just break. I had a belt tensioner where the little arm that holds the pulley just snapped. OK, the alternator's decoupler pulley locking up may have had something to...

Took the words right out of my fingers. The air we breathe is already roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and smaller percentages of argon, carbon dioxide and tiny amounts of other gases. So when you fill your tires with air, you're putting 78% nitrogen and 21% air in them, anyway. When you have...

Exactly. :D

The key to a Sprinter is making an actual commitment to realizing that it's not a Ford or a Chevy, but a Mercedes, and it must be treated and maintained like a Mercedes. It's a European vehicle and you must think European when it comes to maintenance. That means don't think you know better than...

Whether you get 40% or 60%, there's 20% that's gonna go for fuel, whether it comes out of the owner's 60% or your 60%. It's not coming out of "your money" that you've saved up or anything else, it's coming right off the top of the loaded miles revenue, regardless of whether you get it first or...

Because of the HOS, the net result is about a wash between a solo straight and a solo van. You'll get more loads in a straight truck (which is the only real difference), and at higher revenue, but there's also higher costs (and more DOT hassle) in a straight than in a van. The real money...

Microsoft researcher Danah Boyd argues in this article that 'The people who most heavily rely on pseudonyms in online spaces are those who are most marginalized by systems of power.' This comes in the wake of criticism aimed at Facebook and Google for their "real names only" stance on anonymity...

Michelin's LTX tires come in Mud'n'Snow, All-Season, and All-Terrain. My first set was AS, the second two sets where MS and the most recent two sets are AT. Not a lot of difference between the MS and the AS tires. Same tread depth, but slight difference in tread pattern. The AT (AT/2) tires have...

The Health Care bill is the only proof you need. If that's not enough, simply recall the "Joe the Plumber" conversation...

If it looks too good to be true, it usually is. Further investigation, like calling Panther and getting some numbers, will reveal the true nature of the matter. Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone. The numbers are correct. That's about right, give or take. Some (a few) months will be...

Been there done that. :D
