Another bit of irony is that the protest was organized by American Bikers Aimed Towards Education. No other motorcycles were involved in the crash. Friends and members of the bike group put their helmets back on as they left the scene.

I'm not sure what the point of all this was. Human nature being what it is, the expected responses would be overwhelming that people are happy at their carrier. Those who are unhappy have already left their carrier, either for another carrier or for another vocation and are now happy with their...

Because Phil is the Jennifer Aniston of Expediting, and this is the National EOnquirer. People want to know what happens behind the scenes, who is he metaphorically sleeping with and all the sorted details, but most of all we want to see his pokies.

It would be nice if you could be able to take, or reject as many loads that will keep you profitable, and from a philosophical standpoint you can. From a reality standpoint, however, you can only do that if you have your own authority. When you lease on with a carrier, though, you are...

I had a tank run out in front of me in middle of the night once. Shot out in front of me at relatively high speed with no warning, and I had to swerve and brake to miss it. I was driving down through the middle of Fort Stewart, GA.

I do know that the sound of a deer whistle and the sound of a vehicle and its road noise move outward, including forward, from the vehicle at the same speed. I also know that whether the deer hear the road noise or a deer whistle, when the look up and "see" you, they only see two points of...

Not all of them are ultrasonic, but most are marketed as ultrasonic devices. The non-ultrasonic devices don't scare deer away, either. I see them watch me as I pass them all the time. Same with cows. But it depends on how close they are to me when I pass. Really close and they look, half a mile...

Well, it's not the area around Laredo on the US side, it's the area around Nuevo Laredo on the Mexican side.

Deer alerts do not have any more of an effect than the road noise and the noise of the vehicle. Neither humans or deer can hear ultrasonic frequencies above 20,000 kHz, and the decibel level of the sound made by deer alerts are at or below the vehicle noise, anyway. There is nothing in nature...

Panther is forced dispatch now? When did that start?

No, just pragmatic and realistic. In order to be extremely happy, then everything and I do mean everything would have to go precisely the way I want it to. There would never be any circumstances where I wished things were different, or that something had not happened or that something should...

Depends on the day. Sometimes I'm extremely happy, sometimes I'm extremely not. Overall, I'd have to say that I'm extremely ambivalent.

1) Why is "dock high" in demand ? Dock high is in demand for straight trucks because many places where you will get loaded and unloaded have docks that are, uhm, dock high. Many of these places do not have a ramp, and therefore cannot load or unload you unless you are dock high, or unless you...

I think that if people want to talk about Phil and Diane or anyone else specifically then they should start another thread for that.

OK, thanks for that clarification. I have a few apps set to auto-update, but not many. Have to be careful about that.

BBCode tags reference strike is the most common, but I've seen [strike]strike[/strike} as well.

I'd have done the same as you. I've done that more times than I can count. The only thing is, when you leave your lane and go for the shoulder or the other lane, the only thing you can hit is the deer who met you over there. If you hit another car or a tree, then it's a preventable accident and...

People who have no clue about expediting, and have no intention of getting into expediting, who ask questions about expediting so they can write some article or app or something so they can make money from expediting. :D

OK, now that it's been called, let's move on and get back to talking about... oh yeah, jumping ships and stuff.

It's mostly the original Droid and Droid X running 2.2 and 2.2.2, but there be a few others. It's OS version specific.
