SO, I either have the choice of jail, death fighting going to jail or losing my soul for committing a sin of that magnitude. Petition John Dingell? Carl Levin? Debbie Stabenow? If I have those choices then no one should be allowed to opt out of anything. Many religions do not pay income tax on...

I have no idea how to do what I believe. I have no represenation at the National level, all three are very liberal and I know will never hear such an arguement but I will try. I try not to be a hypocrite. Now off to church and then my younger brothers birthday bash. His name is "Dirt" He is...

I totally agree with the right of conscientious objection. That is part of freedom. The practice of a honest belief is not cowardece. I don't mean the popular version like we saw during Viet Nam where a lot of the objectors where doing so because it was in style. I am talking about true moral...

Again, I did not want to argue whether the beleif is right or wrong. It is my belief and that of my religion. I see no difference in that and a Quaker not serving in the miltary since one of the tenants of that religion is not fighting in the military. I think that this debate on using tax...

I really liked the nitrogen, I did notice that the temp flucuations were much smaller then with normal air and they held pressure much better. At the cost of ten per tire and with so few places having the ability to handle large truck tires it just did not work out. What I need is a...

I agree Piper1, I am picky about my care of the reefer etc. I wonder though, and it is just thinking out loud, would it not be possible as a fleet owner to attract a better grade of drivers with a truck that has the potential for higher revenue? Layoutshooter

I do agree that everyone pays for things through things that they don't like with thier tax dollars. In the case of abortion I have religious and moral objections. The other things I object to because of the waste and what I believe to be detramental effects. Like welfare. That is not the case...

I do expect our reefer loads to increase over this year to around 35-40% of our work. That is if the trends we were seeing last year before the hurricane did us in continues. I like temp control work, so far at least our profit on that work is much better than non-temp control work. That is...

I have air but no way to tap into as yet, that is on my to do list. I was just wondering out loud. We change geographical locals so quickly in this business. Layoutshooter

This is not a thread to argue the pros-cons or the right or wrong of the abortion issue. It is however a thread to discuss whether or not those of us who object to the proceedure, should be forced to pay for it. As far back as WW1, maybe furture I don't know for sure, it was possible to forgo...

The return on reefers will change from time to time just as the return on any truck. If the trend of fewer owners buying reefers continues it will make our reefer worth more. If the market is suddenly flooded with reefers it will be worth less. As in any business, the more you set yourself apart...

One of my favorite "character" actors is James Whitmore. My favorite Duvall movie is Second Hand Lions.. Layoutshooter

I have gone back to running everyday air in my tires vs. nitrogen. I was just having too much trouble finding places that could keep them up and the cost was too high. I bought a decent air compressor so I can get really good cold pressures at the house and I can keep it up on the road easier...

We are a TVAL White Glove truck. We have all the "tickets" you can get. D.O.D., hazmat, art etc. At least 30% of our work is reefer. Most of those loads pay very well. My hazmat work is down but I think that is due to the increase in government and art loads. We bought our truck used, a repo. It...
