    Have You Ever Been "Drafted"??

    As a computer geek, my first thought "drafted" was not of military service, but CAD. :D

    Have You Ever Been "Drafted"??

    The lead vehicle has to drive through, and push out of the way, relatively stationary air. As it pushes the air out of the way, the air left behind in the wake reduces air pressure behind the vehicle (the wind resistance up front causes an increase in air pressure forward, and reduced air...

    Holy Crap!

    Take a close look at this. This is a close-up shot of the kind of painstaking detail that went into the project that took 10 years, and recovering from a stroke that has left him without any feeling in one hand, to complete. The Declaration of Independence, meticulously and accurately...

    This Could be Big

    Doesn't matter. It's not an issue of practical miles versus HHG miles. HHG miles is accurate mileage. If that's how you're paid and you choose to take a different routing, that's not the responsibility of the carrier to pay for. It's only a problem, and one that the carrier should pay for, if...

    Huh?

    Headline: Barak Obama becomes the 44th President that somebody says should be impeached. What pushes my button are those who think the Ninth Circuit takes it's marching orders from the Obama, or any other, administration.

    You want an actual number? Or would "all of them" suffice? ;)

    The issue that will affect independent contractors is the mileage thing. An employee or an independent contractor, if you are paid by the mile, then the mileage must be accurate, at least within reason. The use of Zip Code to Zip Code routing to pay mileage is one that intentionally cheats...

    Obama AWOL on Veterans Day

    Of course you are lumped into that group, if you are a veteran. It was a joke, so the only way for it to work is to include all veterans within it. I had hoped that the obvious incongruity of the "liberal crybabies" with that of the traditional conservative nature of most military veterans would...

    Same as cultivate, "cult" comes from the Latin cultus, to inhabit, habitation, tilling, and worship, to do all the things necessary to see something take root and grow, especially with reference to ancient, primitive or established rituals and rites. 1. A system of religious beliefs and...

    Obama AWOL on Veterans Day

    Seems like every time he leaves the country to do something, he can't git r dun. We should have taken note when he had the IOC laughing at him for his arrogance on expecting them to hand Chicago the Olympics just because he expected them to.

    CDL required for <10K GVW Van?

    I knew that. I also knew that Sprinters don't have a throttle plate, but I typed that one once, too. There's no endorsement, but if you fail the air brake section of the test you'll get a restriction.

    I know what Layout means, tho, when he talks about responsibility and respect. While Phelps is entirely within his rights, just the same he's still being rude, inconsiderate and disrespectful of his fellow human beings. That's why people don't like him. Didja know he and (mostly) his family...

    LOL...China's Hu Rebuffs Weakened Obama

    We also elect weak, very experienced people who degrade our countries ability to compete. China didn't get where they are overnight. They've been in charge for 15 years, maybe more. It's just that now they're starting to act like we used to act, and we don't like it. The biggest problem is that...

    LOL...China's Hu Rebuffs Weakened Obama

    There's a lot more going on than the article, and certainly the headline, tells about. Did anyone really think Obama could say, "Jump!" and China would respond with, "How high, Mr. President?" China is in charge right now, and they and the other G20 members know it. That's the reason for the...
