Well, OK, what's the breakdown? What percentage of Mexican-looking people are working here legally and illegally? "Southerners are called rednecks all the time, while only a few would be what I'd consider white trash. In fact, I see more white trash in the Detroit area than I've ever...

A storm took 'em down over the weekend, knocked out power and messed up the computers and the network. I called in yesterday and someone, a real live person, answered the phone on the second ring. They answered, "Thank you for calling Panther. How may I help you?" That's just wrong. I was so...

The problem with that being applied to the legality or illegality of Mexicans (or Hispanics if you are PC sensitive) in the US is that most people look but don't smell. A floating turd will clear out a swimming pool in a matter of seconds. So will a Baby Ruth.

The US will be 238 years old on September 3, 2011, which is the 238th anniversary of the Treaty of Paris (1783) which ended the Revolutionary War and granted (or won) US independence as a separate and independent nation. The signing of the Declaration of Independence is highly celebrated, the...

Brought a tear to me eye, too (not really), until two things happened. One, I read the final paragraph, of which the first line is usually a red flag. If you're supposed to send this to as many people as you can, it almost certainly contains misleading, incorrect or outright false information...

Treading water as a team, but things should click after the break. Votto, Phillips and Bruce were all voted into the All Star Team by the other MLB players, which is more impressive than winning the popularity contest. (FWIW, posting this in that other thread was absolutely hilarious :D )

No, he's making a joke, playing it off mine, and it's a fine attempt. But it also illustrates a lack of knowledge and understanding about expediting. I don't worry at all, not the least little bit, not one iota ( ∙ <−− one iota), about someone that has a little clue about expediting, has...

Well, gee whiz, Debbie Downer

Still got the Adam's Apple.

Pom Poms made of yarn, mostly

At the point where you think like an employee. When they did the 67% thing I wasn't really happy about it, but as it turns out the prospect of falling below 67% only had an effect on one decision that I made since they started it, and that was an unusual situation where I had been off for 3...

Nothing wrong at all with a pep rally. But, "I just wanted to bring out the people like myself who enjoy what we do and are very happy with their carrier," is practically the encyclopedic definition example of a pep rally. :D The flip-side of getting a bad perception of this business and going...

"And I don't even know what "jails" means, unless Phil has a collection of pokeys somewhere." Yes, pokey, the plural of which is pokeys. Pokies is something altogether different than pokeys. Pokeys bad, pokies very, very good. :D In Phil's case, it was a metaphorical, euphemistic pokies, not...

No, I didn't get the message. It was apparently sent out in a fleet message a week or two ago, but it certainly should have gone out in an e-mail and been posted to the Website. Because of how it is calculated, it should have gone out prior to June 1, actually, since decisions made in June based...

It was most definitely not a Weiner reference. And I don't even know what "jails" means, unless Phil has a collection of pokeys somewhere. But if he does, that would make him a Gumby fan, probably, and would be a different kind of Pokey.

Oh, they complained. It's just that one complained more subtly, diplomatically, while the other didn't complain much, but rather just up and burned the bridge. :D

Please don't read more into what I say than what I say. No, I don't think it's a good idea. I don't think it's a bad idea, either. I think it is what it is, and it's necessary for Panther. Looking at it from Panther's point of view, I can at least understand it. They have loads to cover, and...

It's not "forced dispatch" simply because they won't do things to suit you. If you only want to take 1 in 4 offers then you are of limited use to the carrier, and they will use you accordingly. The only thing you are forced to do is accept, or reject, a load offer. There are consequences for...

Ah, a pep rally. Got it. :D
