    One day a Jewish grandmother had taken her grandson to the beach for a play when suddenly a huge wave washed over the infant and pulled him out to sea. The distraught grandmother fell down on her knees, and sobbed, "Please God, don't let my grandson die, please, he is my only...

    I think the non-compete agreement was for 3 years. It might have been five. I don't have that PDF anymore and can't remember for sure. I seriously doubt that Con-Way will ever get back into the expedited sector.

    Conspiracy Theory Alert

    LaHood didn't just jam this through. Well, he did, but he's tried to jam it through several times. So did Normal Mineta and Mary Peters under Bush. Each time Congress thwarted the attempt. A year or so ago they rammed it through and the pilot program lasted about a week before Congress slammed...

    It used to be online under the Driver Council, but since the Web site revamp it's not there, nor are any of the meeting minutes. Maybe Sean will send it to ya. :D

    Well, they do represent us, but they do not make decisions for us. If Panther wants to do something and the entire Driver Council is against it, the Driver Council's opinion carries zero weight. If the Driver Council brings up an idea for a change, no matter how great of an idea it might be, if...

    Difference in Load Board Loads Per Day

    To see which one is more accurate, do an 8 then a 32 and comparing it what it shows online. :) Online is real-time for number of trucks. Online is also up-to-date as of midnight (when they recalculate them) on the load counts. The macros are 24 hours old. Not sure about the difference...

    An update: The eccentric creator of a Mojave Desert compound of whimsical buildings known as Phonehenge West was jailed Friday for failing to obey an order to cut electricity and keep guests out of the illegal structures. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Daviann Mitchell put off Kim...

    I wrote an e-mail to Sean the other day asking to go back to the old boards. Maybe if we all sent him e-mails, it'll get their attention.

    I thought South Korea liked us

    Uhm, no, I don't believe we are stagnating, nor did I say such a thing. I do not believe we are declining, either. I believe we have gone past the present tense and moved into the past tense of having already declined to the point where we will never be what we once were. And there's no point in...

    And his jab was with a big smile, same as my comments. Oh, well.

    Remember what happened to the guy who spoke those words? He thought he was all that and a bag o' chips, too.

    What has you ripping your hair out sometimes in this business?

    The funny thing is, everything I've said in this thread has been said with humor, which is something that I think softwareguy "gets".

    I thought South Korea liked us

    It's not that we're tying to dumb ourselves down to the Europeans, we got сocky and lazy and while we were busy patting ourselves on the back other countries shot right past us and are doing it better and cheaper. The John Wayne/Captain America machismo of two generations ago was then, this is...

    I thought South Korea liked us

    Two reasons, one because we're often snooty and snotty about it and it gets on people's nerves, and two, we should lead by example rather than by intimidation and thinking that just because we did somebody a favor in a war a long time ago that it should give us free reign to do as we please in...

    Well, if you refuse 1 in 4 you are at the 75% mark so you're OK. You can't turn down more than that, tho. If you're offered 5 loads a week and turn down one per week, that's 20 in a month with 16 accepted, which puts you at 80%. But as I said earlier in this and several other threads, a lot...

    Some countries are getting a little tired of Americans beating our chests AARRGGGHHH AARRRGGGHHH and telling everyone how "America is the greatest country in, like, ever, we're gonna rest on our laurels if we want to, and you bunches of little ingrates should bow down and kiss the ground we...
