    frt lanes have changed

    I delivered a load to Scottsbuff, NE. Then, while deadheading on route back to Lincoln, I got a load from North Platte to Council Bluffs. Am I smart, or what? I'm gonna go with what. Or, hey, maybe it's because North Platte is now a freight lane. You go to Indy and get loaded out right...

    Government control won't cure ills

    Interesting. He's making a case for the proper balance between slavery and paid servitude, where you pay people the smallest amount possible to get the most out of them. :D

    frt lanes have changed

    I would say that different locations within the freight lanes are ever changing, but the freight lanes themselves stay pretty much the same. Chicago isn't a freight lane. Neither are Indianapolis or Detroit. The term "freight lanes" is just another term for Midwest Hеll. The only thing that...

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    That's just it, I don't want a fair and balanced response from the court as a whole, or in part, since their job doesn't have anything to do with fair and balanced. Their job is to unpassionately interpret the Constitutionality of the law of the cases brought before them without regard to fair...

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    Well, according the Patriot Act, you are a terrorist for merely planning or being tempted to perform a terrorist act. Regardless, using your "temptation" logic, which is founded in religion, people give in to temptation because they were enticed or allured to do something, and they are bad for...

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    Like I noted before, the only people who think sexual orientation is a choice are heterosexuals, because, duh, they choose not to choose homosexuality, which is certainly an easy choice for a heterosexual to make. The reality is, however, as people enter puberty they spend very little time in...

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    Sidestep the issues and go right to the personal attack? Really? Really? OK, fine. Which as-yet, non-existing hypothetical case would you like me to delve into? Every time you say, "So what?" you are in effect saying, "I'm ignorant and I don't understand," or, that you are just ambivalent and...

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    OK, several things here... A "phobia" is now generally classified as a mental illness, mainly by those who can make money off classifying it as such. In reality, it only becomes a mental illness when the phobia becomes disabling and begins to adversely affect daily activities. A phobia is...

    A Question for Van Drivers?

    The people who are dishonest/illegal/bad aren't very likely to abide by laws/rules/regulations, so I can't imagine they'd be bothered much by them. For example, the only people who are inconvenienced by gun control laws are the law abiding citizens.

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    The interesting things are the dilemmas produced by the two terms, "sexual orientation" and "sexual preference", as both are double-edged swords with political ramifications and how they are used. Obviously, "sexual preference" implies that one makes a choice, while "sexual orientation" implies...

    Are You A Little Racist?

    I challenged you to refute anything I said. You failed, and failed badly. Saying you don't agree with it is not the same as refuting it. Trying to marginalize me by belittling me is not the same as refuting it. Believing in something, no matter how badly you believe in it, is not refuting...

    Any Independent Van drivers out there ??

    So far, not a single verified case of static electricity, a cell phone, Blackberry, Ipad, or other electrical device, causing an explosion at the pumps. Not one. Magic Markers, on the other hand, cause at least 1 deaths per year right there at the fuel island.

    A Question for Van Drivers?

    Just so you know, I have the 2" seat and the full back cushion. I first ordered the base and the lumbar support, but found that becasue of how the Sprinter seat is designed, I needed the full-back cushion instead of just the lumbar support. The full-back comes with a lumbar support, as well...

    Buicks vs CMV's

    Well, your earlier statement was made because, "Now, I was criticized in another thread for commenting that it's worse to be hit by a loaded cargo van. I stand behind the comment." So what's the point of stating here that as weight increases, the energy transferred also increases? We know that...

    A Question for Van Drivers?

    I have an Oregon Aero Softseat, which is a memory foam seat cushion that was designed, and still primarily used, for pilots. It enables me to drive long distances without getting stiff or fatigued. The stock Sprinter seat can be just brutal on long hauls. I generally take a few minutes for a...
