    Men Think Smartphones Make Them Sexy; Women Don't

    No, MEN don't think that phones make them sexy. Not REAL men. REAL MEN KNOW that only COOL makes you sexy!! Geez, everyone knows that!! LOL!!! :p Phones are JUST tools, nothing more.

    Donald Rumsfeld criticises Barack Obama for undermining 'special relationship'

    Of course there was this famous Dumb-O-Crat all warm and fuzzy with a VERY nasty man. One of the nastiest men that ever lived. Stalin made Hitler and Saddam look like innocent altar boys. Of course when taken in the context of the times, it may make sense. Not that anyone would EVER take...

    So This is the Slow Time of Yr....

    Don't know what you mean by "Fleetvision" page. Our units display our total miles driven for a 24 hour period. It is always up to date. By that I mean, after I arrive at my pick up tomorrow morning that field will show 10 miles driven for the day so far.

    What is the Role?

    Just what to people believe the role of the Federal Government should be in local education? Should they have control over curriculum? Should they even be involved? Are they over stepping their bounds under the Constitution? What do you think?

    Vehicle Activity

    Last year was one of our best since we started. This year may be too. Hard to say since it is only a few weeks into it. Only time will tell. I just hope what we are seeing so far does not turn out to be the norm. I kinda doubt that it will be.

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    Yeah, but it drives the post count up!! Most of the time we should be heading for the sidelines faster than we are. We should not HAVE to depend on troopers to take away that choice. Like you said, common sense. Like I said, personal responsibility. When you lose those you should not be on the road.

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    Even harder when they lose their truck or get killed. There is little leeway when safety is concerned. Yeah, it can be tough. I know, I have been there more than once in my life and most likely will be there again. I have never used that as an excuse and will not in the future. They should also...

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    There are lots of "cowboys" out there that just have to "get 'er done" no matter how bad it gets. NOTHING stops them, they are BETTER than the rest and not even ice can stop them. I seem them in the ditches all the time. With any luck they did not take out someone with them. Many times I...

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    Also a lack of brains on the part of some drivers. When it gets bad, I stop. No excuse for running in extreme conditions. It is the responsibility of each driver to get off the road as soon as possible even if the state has not closed the road. Carriers are to blame as well. They should be far...

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    I am sorry about your loss. Things like that are hard. I lost one of my grandfathers to a "bad" company. As to the salt problem in Arkansas. I don't know if it that easy to fix. It would be difficult for them to stockpile salt. It is very hot and humid down there and it would go bad after...

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    "Expedited" snow removal crews, good idea!! I wonder if someone will pick up on this? Lots of out put money wise to start. That will be a big draw back. I don't know about the helping out in snowbelt areas, most of those state crews are union, I doubt that they will go for that sort of "help".

    We have seen odd things so far this year but with only 6 or 7 weeks it is hard to call it a "trend". MANY more short mile runs so far. The rate per mile is WAY up over last year and we have run 5 more loads than year to date last year. We down on gross by almost 3 grand. Strange year, hope that...

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    Road salt alone starts to become ineffective at around 20F. Much below that and you have to "sweeten" it with other chemicals. Direct sunlight and friction from tires can help it as well. Break out the shovels, no need to have people sitting on their duffs collecting FREE money. They can...

    February locations

    Now in TX. Delivered a load here at 0500 yesterday. I cannot believe this, we ran TWO REAL expedite loads this week! How odd. I almost forgot what they were like. Ran 5 loads last week, all short but they made for a better than average week. Heading for AR on Monday.
