    The Inevitable Begins

    Oh, knowing expediters the way I do, even with their accounts, I have a feeling it would still be little more than the banter so well described above.

    The Inevitable Begins

    Why do you think he's using an excuse other than the truth? You didn't infer (imply, actually - how you say it is implied, how it gets interpreted by others is inferred) that JD should use the forum, and I didn't mention it because of anything you said, but you did imply that he was...

    California want to force hotels to use fitted sheets

    Yeah, but you also believe this is another example of a government out of control, when it's clearly not. I think legislation for this is unnecessary, but hardly an out of control situation. Moot: the elastic gives out long before the cotton fabric wears out, at least for most people in the...

    An 8 year Old and Botox

    If you take this to its logical conclusion, it is the same thing, though. My dad was teaching me a lesson, to make be a better person later in life. This mother, in her own way, is doing the same thing. If you think beating a kid with a switch is deplorable and unconscionable, then my dad should...

    The Inevitable Begins

    I would be a little surprised if J.D. Clarke chooses to use this forum to publicly discuss anything about the situation unless the details are pretty generic.

    California want to force hotels to use fitted sheets

    Yes, I know. I used to do that quite often when I was staying in a motel every night, where I would rarely have housekeeping do anything in my room, knowing how hard they work as it is. Yes, I know. Like I said, I'm intimately familiar with these machines. Correct. One doesn't need to talk to...

    Ron Paul raid not needed

    I can't think of a single president who wouldn't use bin Laden's death to the fullest political extent possible.

    An 8 year Old and Botox

    Who gets to decide what is abuse, tho? What if we say that you abused your child? Are you OK with that? If you say you didn't abuse your child, but enough people, or the right people, say you did, then you did. Now what? I still remember having to go out back and cutting a switch from a tree...

    An 8 year Old and Botox

    Some outside governmental organization telling a parent how to raise her child? Considering the abuses that Child Protective Services have engaged in over the years, it's best they stay out of it, I think. You discipline your child in a manner that someone who doesn't even know you disagrees...

    The Inevitable Begins

    Lots of reasons. Late too many times, calling in a lot and complaining about various things, turning down too many loads, the list is endless. It's why we need Paul Harvey to fill us in. At times like these carriers often look to get rid of dead weight, for lack of a better term, knowing that...

    California want to force hotels to use fitted sheets

    I don't know that every hotel/motel has the machines. Never said they did. Many likely do not have them, especially smaller motels. What I said was, the same machines that iron flat sheets are also designed to iron fitted sheets. If they have the machine at all, then they can iron flat or fitted...

    Would real expediters?

    We? Who is "we"? Is "we" you and your company who will thankfully provide the necessary training to handle this critical and debilitating dilemma the trucking industry is suddenly facing, assuming that you can convince carriers and trucking schools that the dilemma actually exists? Because it...

    An 8 year Old and Botox

    "Worryingly, Britney - whose research scientist dad died four years ago aged 83 - regards the injections and waxing as part of normal life." That one says a lot, too. Clearly, this mum's neurons aren't firing in the proper order, and haven't been for quite some time. All decisions she's made...

    Bill Aims to Increase Truck Parking Spaces

    Well, even with proper planning, there are still far too few parking places for big trucks. Every truck parked on an exit or on ramp should make that clear enough. But the problem with the bill is that it doesn't create more parking spots. Most of the money is for developing communications...

    California want to force hotels to use fitted sheets

    I didn't get that impression for any of the posts here. If you purchase enough of them, it could be $100 million, maybe even a trillion. But I read the actual bill and it doesn't require the purchasing of replacement fitted sheets until the flat sheets would normally be replaced, so the actual...

    Would real expediters?

    My carrier is unlikely to pay enough for me to take a load to the Javitts Center at this point, but OK, I'll play along. No. My informal GPS training consisted in part of peeking inside the instruction manual that came with the unit and learning how to select different vehicle types, so mine is...

    Pulling a really small camper

    It was sarcasm. Fact is, they all do come here and read, often. People have had their contracts canceled because of what they've said here online.

    Would real expediters?

    With computer-type technology, necessity becomes the great motivator. Those who cant use a GPS, sure some may be so technotarded they will never get it, but for most its a case of, "Because I don't already know how to use it, I cannot therefore learn how." But the reality is that if you can...
