    I would have liked to do that but I was one of those very high paid government employees and could barely afford to provide the basics in those days. It still kind of amazes me just how much responsibility we had and just how little we were paid AND we had to pay for health care, contrary to...

    More BS about Fatigued Drivers

    Thanks, I did not think you needed it with you but I was not sure. Mine is locked up in my safe at the house. We are now in the process of looking for a small tape (not digital) recorder to use IF we are ever "asked" to do one of these surveys. I want tape because I think digital is far easier...

    Let's see, my one son was told that the 2nd Amendment does not give us the right to keep and bare arms that the 2nd Amendment is was what allowed the government to rasie an army. I here this repeated often my anti-gun people. The Bill of rights was written for one purpose, to insure the RIGHTS...

    Preferential Treatment for Expediter Services . . .

    This is becoming non-productive. If trucks and crews were allowed to "jump" over others it was wrong. That would mean that many others that were qualified were held back because of it. This arguement will slove nothing. Bashing fleets or carriers in public does little than cause ill feelings...

    where is the freight

    I do? On a regular basis? No sir, I do not. In fact, I have ONLY taken ONE very low paying load, and it only paid low because of a VERY long DH. I took that one for two reasons. 1. I was the only truck that my carier had that could cover that load and it was a long standing customer. 2. It was...

    to President Obama

    If they did, cool, I never saw them. I just don't trust ANYONE who, 1. does not trust me and 2. is trashing the Constitution. I would want more proof that they are his. HE assumes my lack of innocence under the Constitution so I therefor assume the same on his part. In addtion to that he IS a...

    We have lost control over every government function. They just "stick in our ear" and we just smile and say "yes sir yes sir, three bags full" and vote them in again. Then when we do, and they screw up and us just as the last bunch did we are told to "give them a chance". Bull Feathers, vote the...

    Of course you are "special" OVM, but your van is not!!! :eek: I know that there are exceptions to ALMOST every rule. We don't as a practice take everyday van loads, no reason to lose that much money on a load. Layoutshooter

    REALLY Rocket? Ask Mrs. Layoutshooter. That kind of stuff has been going on in the schools for YEARS. Remember, my YOUNGEST is 31 and it was going on then. I had teachers teaching that the Constitution was written to spell out the "Rights" of the govenment. That the amendments in the Bill of...

    to President Obama

    :D:D I like that!! I want to see his college transcripts too. I mean the nation hired him to do a job based on them, I want to see them. Why would he hold them back? I mean, geez, you have to provide basic stuff like that for ANY REAL job you apply for in the REAL world? I guess he is just way...

    You got that right OVM. It was a constant battle with the schools when my kids were at that age. What bull they were taught and some teacher had the audacity to tell my kids that the morals my wife and I were teaching were outdated and wrong!! Un-Real!!! I once was forced to remind the school...

    where is the freight

    I don't take true van loads. They are just not profitable for us. The ONLY reason I could ever see us putting on a load like that is if we needed to get home and that was cheaper than a long DH. MAYBE if it moved us into a better freight area. We have taken loads that would go on a van, weight...
