    the cargo van expediter

    Antwolf was actually quoting someone else, but that's not important. :D If the driver gets 60%, it wouldn't really be .38 going to the truck, because that would have the driver only getting 60% of the FSC. You'd first have to break out the FSC and just go with the line haul that the 60% would...

    DOJ sending "observers" to AZ to make sure ILLEGALS GET TO VOTE

    Too many jokes. Everything from Rich Little to Obama. Too many jokes. :D

    cargo van weight limit?

    That describes me, except that instead of getting a nice Chevy/Ford 3500 Van, I got an even nicer Sprinter. :D I can no longer legally haul the 3000 pounds that my original empty weight ticket states, which the carrier has on file. The problem with showing 3000 pounds as my capacity is that...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Actually, it is particularized, just the same as it would be for a 16-foot straight truck without letting driving by. The primary purpose of straight trucks and cargo vans is for commercial purposes. Those used for personal purposes are, absolutely, the exception to the rule. You may think that...

    New Android Keyboard.....

    Reminds me of the Dan Aykroyd SNL skit about the new Metric Alphabet.

    cargo van weight limit?

    Note that it's far easier to do that after you've bought the van and have it in your possession. He's not at that point yet. He's trying to determine which Sprinter to buy, the 2500 or the 3500, and the pros and cons of each. For me, the cons of the 3500 eliminate it outright.

    Dems tell Obama don't run in 2012

    Oh, it pays more. Professional baseball mirrors the haves and have-nots of American that the liberals are always whining about. For Major League Baseball, the league minimum salary is $400,000, up from $336,000 last year. The average salary is $3.2 million. For the Minor Leagues, the first...

    Family and friends tracking you?

    I use the Latitude app, do not have an open attitude, and am not on vacation. You can absolutely control who can track you with Latitude, and when. You can control it on an individual basis or with one click end all tracking for everyone. Others, who you allow, can track you via the Latitude app...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    I don't think anyone has said anything any different. Because the vast majority of cargo vans are not, in fact, used for personal purposes, but are, in fact, used for commercial purposes, it's not unreasonable to suspect (or even <gasp> to assume) that a cargo van driving down the road is a...

    Dems tell Obama don't run in 2012

    Well, let me ask you this... Would you rather be the everyday shortstop for the Toledo Mudhens, or playing 2nd fiddle as the backup shortstop for the Detroit Tigers? I can't imagine anyone who wants to be president, Hillary especially, declining the position out of fear they might not have...

    UPS.....We Have A Problem.....

    Here's a story from two days ago. Tells what we're up against: "Corruption, an inefficient security force and an intoxicating plant that keeps most men in Yemen high for up to six hours a day all stand in the way of America's battle against al-Qaida's Yemen wing..." If I read the stories...

    DOJ sending "observers" to AZ to make sure ILLEGALS GET TO VOTE

    Oh, there will absolutely be illegals who vote in this election. Just not with the help of the DOJ. It's easy enough to register to vote as an illegal, since you don't have to prove citizenship to register. In just one US District court in Florida, on the voter registration list, where they...

    Yet Another Case of Voter Intimidation

    People misinterpret and misconstrue things all the time. It's what the employer actually says that matters.

    cargo van weight limit?

    To start with your last question first, yes, most carriers (all of them?) will require an empty weight ticket, where the van is full of fuel and outfitted completely and ready to go. (but if you're close, weight it with a nearly empty tank and maybe not-so completely outfitted :D ). Some...

    Yet Another Case of Voter Intimidation

    Well, duh, that's because this thread is about voter intimidation and you keep posting ways to squirm through some imaginary loophole where it doesn't exist. The example you just gave might have the employee thinking, "Hey, if I vote for X, then I might get a bigger raise next year. Yay!," and...

    Yet Another Case of Voter Intimidation

    Sorry, Leo, but free speech doesn't allow for things like terroristic threatening, intimidation, blackmail, bribery, extortion, harassment, or coercion of any kind. Casual conversation is just that, but if you're an employer you'd better not forget who you are while engaged in even the most...

    DOJ sending "observers" to AZ to make sure ILLEGALS GET TO VOTE

    That's because it is. Someone threw it at the wall, and it didn't stick. It's a load of crap that the DOJ is going out there to ensure illegals can vote.

    Thune-backed bill would gut constitutional rights

    The author also could have worded it as, he was a Vietnam War POW... or simply a Vietnam POW, with the "War" being understood... and would have been correct.
