    Truth In Advertising & Posting?

    Lisa, com'on. You talk in generalities, and then get mad at the readers because they can't read your mind to grasp the specifics? Seriously? It took 39 posts to get any kind of tangible information out of you. One of the critical keys to communicating effectively is, uhm, communicating...

    Will March 19 'Supermoon' Trigger Natural Disasters?

    I just though it was funny that we both chose that one part of the article to focus on. Great minds, and all that. :D

    Truth In Advertising & Posting?

    If someone at a carrier told you they pay $1.00 minimum for a cargo van, for all loads, they clearly lied. And it's a lie that should have been called out the minute they stated it, since that's above the current rates in this industry. One glance at the bid boards will tell you that. There are...

    Looking for a quick answer :)

    Far as I know, since they're the folks who issue them.

    Will March 19 'Supermoon' Trigger Natural Disasters?

    (It should be noted that astrology is not a real science, but merely makes connections between astronomical and mystical events.) Sue stole my SuperMoon induced thunder :D , but the above is all you need to know, really. The last Supermoon, supposedly 18 years ago, was supposed to trigger...

    Truth In Advertising & Posting?

    In your case you did give specific examples. In the case of the 30 days, I'd want that in writing up front, same with the motels thing, since both seem a little out of the ordinary and would be suspicious on the face of it. In the third case, I dunno if it was an actual lie or not, I'd have to...

    Truth In Advertising & Posting?

    True dat. It amazes me still how people want guarantees, and think they should get them, in a business built on emergency freight that never has and will never guarantee anything. "Is wanting honesty delusional?" If one is equating honesty with a guarantee, yes, it's absolutely delusional...

    Hey Buddy! Can you spare a Dime!?!?

    Actually it led to a prosperous career in restaurant management. :D I won't go into my musical career, or why I left it, or how I got here, other than to say I'm doing this because I want to. I had a pretty good musical career, but one that ended on several sour notes (several band members died...

    Teletype WorldNav Truck GPS navigation

    Weeeelllll, since DieselBoss sells GPS units, and is not an independent review site, the reviews are somewhat tainted. I've seen past reviews where serious shortcomings were downplayed in the reviews, until they were called out in the forum. One could conclude that certain items that have a...

    US Supreme Court allows anti-gay military funeral protests

    So, you're assuming why the question was asked, rather than just dealing with the question itself? It could have also been posted to spark further debate. I have no idea what her motives were in asking the question. I prefer to deal with the question at hand, rather than trying to figure out...

    Hey Buddy! Can you spare a Dime!?!?

    Sorry dood, I was a music major. BTW, the link to Ella... that's from the Andy Griffith era. :D

    Hey Buddy! Can you spare a Dime!?!?

    Not that it matters much, but the Andy Griffith era was the late 50's ad early 60's (the show aired from 1960-1968) when times were relatively good. The phrase is from the Great Depression era when times weren't so relatively good. It comes from a song (Brother, Can You Spare a Dime) written in...

    A update

    Like I said before, clearly Texas does things differently than the federal guidelines with respect to a class C CDL, among many other things. They're the only state I know of who will issue a Class C CDL without an endorsement. I thought Texas was 6 year between renewals, or is it 5 for a CDL...

    We're Spending an Awful Lot of Money....

    At 23 weeks, it's not a premature birth, it's a latent miscarriage. Babies born at 23 weeks don't have birth defects, they never had the chance to develop in the first place.
