Oh, I can tell you a lot of bad things about Panther, same as every driver at every carrier can tell you bad things about their carrier. All carriers will do things that drive you crazy. Every one of them. They are not there for you, to take care of you. They are there to do things that are in...

No, no insult at all. When I do something or learn about something, I'm just one of those who goes "all in" and does it as fully as I can, almost obsessively (some would call it anal, but I've learned that I'm an amateur when it comes to analyzing pedantic minutiae). Learning is fun, generally...

Yup. They're bullet proof. :D

Cobra 29-LTD BT $199.99 list, most places it's about $150. I went through 7 or 8 Bluetooth headsets, high end ones from Motorola and Jawbone, lots of 'em. In all cases I could position the earpiece so that I could hear them, but then they couldn't hear me clearly when I talked, or visa...

I haven't priced them in years, so the $5000 was a rough ballpark. Depends on the size. I think a $5000 diesel is either 3000 or 5000 Watts, can't remember. Still, no good place to mount it, at least on my Sprinter. And having a diesel van, I'd prefer a diesel generator if I were to mount it.

Rand McNally claims their IntelliRoute software is used by 94% of the nation's top motor carriers for their fleet routing needs. That should tell you something, a real headsup, because that's an awfully impressive figure considering that the software has only been available for about 2 years...

The J and TA Internet is GB capped, too. Most have speeds so slow, at least for vans out in front of the J, that watching streaming video is a chore. Usually at the J when you start downloading large files or streaming video, after about a minute it automatically gets cut down to about 250kbit...

Cite three examples of where he ACTS like a little boy. Should be easy since these ACTS define him. No experience in life? Really? Spent part of his youth in a foreign country, went to law school, was a community organizer in Chicago's south side and got out alive, married with two kids, a...

Tired Gay succumbs to Dix in 200 meters Best quote from the article: "I was a little sloppy out of the blocks, but I was able to hold on." Second best quote: "It wasn't bad, but I was a little fatigued toward the end," Gay said. "I tried to stay relaxed and bring it home, but it wasn't...

Venezuela arrests two for Tweeting bank rumors Rumor: The bank is shaky. People begin to think the bank is shaky. People withdraw their money from the bank. Pretty soon the bank is shaky.

I didn't misrepresent a thing, nor did I redefine anything. A straw man argument is when a similar, but weaker position is substituted for the original position, and then the weaker substitute (the straw man) is refuted, and as such a claim is made that the original position has also been...

Not this poster child. Back in 1992, well before I started in expediting, I got three, count 'em, three speeding tickets in one day. In ONE DAY! Within 2 hours, actually. One was near Memphis and I was on a semi-rural side road getting ready to get on the on-ramp, and I wasn't paying a bit of...

Without question a diesel generator would be far better out here than a gasoline generator. They're bullet-proof and last forever, or at least forever in expediting terms. Gas generators aren't meant for continuous duty use, or even the kind of punishment we put them through out here in...

There's the Mobile Broadband plan for the Aircard, and then there's the Unlimited Plan for Smartphones (the Droid, Blackberries) which really and truly is unlimited. They are different plans. Verizon will soon (if they haven't already in the last week or so) offer a Mobile Broadband Connect...

Ah, yes, the intellectual version of sticking your tongue out at someone. Thank you for proving my point, again. :D

It's not bull crap. If you think it is, let's here why. Especially since it wasn't directed towards you. That Churchill quote could have been said word for word by a Muslim Imam. They think they're right, we think we're right, and because we are we, we think we're the most right. And both are...

"Revenue from operating authority fees would help FMCSA enforce the rules." That pretty much sums it up.

Not at all. I've got a hеlluva sense of humor. But when you take a shot like that and then immediately follow it up by telling me that I need to do more studying (implicit that I'm ignorant on the subject at hand) and that I need to look at the world-wide bigger picture (implicit that I'm closed...

The solar panels are relatively light. What kills you is the weight of the batteries. The amount of amp hours a battery has is directly dependent on how much lead in in there, how much they weigh. A 100 amp hour battery is gonna weigh about 65 pounds, and two of those is really the minimum for a...

Just because it's an old e-mail doesn't mean the information shouldn't have been posted. That's an e-mail that for some reason has recently re-surfaced on the Net and has made people think it's a new thing (more than likely as a means to get people all mad at Obama 'cause he's from Illinois...
