The DOT vehicle inspection deals with the safe operation of the vehicle. Items to be inspected are either "OK" or "Needs Repair." When the tires are inspected, the front tires (A. Tires on any steering axle of a power unit) are inspected separately from other tires (b. All other tires). The...

The AARP membership is worth if just for the discounts you get at a lot of places. 30% off eye glasses (although AAA gets you 50% at LensCrafters) more than pays for the annual membership of $16 a year ($12.60 a year if you pay $63 for 5 years at a time). I have memberships in both...

Again, we're back to that gaping loophole called the Commerce Clause, which allows Congress and the federal government to push a lot of things through. The one that cracks me up is the one just a few years ago where a California woman had her medical marijuana crop seized by federal agents...

The AARP is a leftist organization, always has been, always will be. They are so leftist that the AARP CEO Barry Rand flatly stated, "the legislation doesn’t reduce any Medicare benefits and only seeks to eliminate Medicare fraud and waste.” What a load of crap. Since July 1 of last year...

While I agree with the last paragraph, it is a little funny, and sad, that whoever wrote this wants to amend the Constitution, in order to change the current laws regarding Congress, yet they don't even know what the current laws are. (Reminds me of the Safety department of a carrier which will...

The situation was, Google went in and agreed to censor for the Chinese government. They agreed to censor this and that, but as time went on the government kept adding things they wanted to have Google censor. The workload of the government was gradually being pushed off onto Google. Then the...

I don't have a problem with someone posting about them wishing that someone, or even 219 someones, should die, just as long as they apply those same justification standards to postings they don't necessarily agree with. It's not what was said, but rather the hypocrisy in handing out the...

There was a thing on the news (BBC) about that a little while back, where they talked about the millions it was costing to send out pre-reminders and post-reminders, but showed how it was far cheaper to do that than it was to send people out to canvas each dwelling.

Awesome :D

Yeah, I know exactly what you are saying, and I agree. But I also understand the concept of CYA, and that's what carriers are doing. It's kind of like, if you have a couple of moving violations each year, year in and year out, the chances are that you're going to continue to do that. Why should...

They aren't really thinking in the abstract, as they have been well trained and coached on how to do what they do. Each elephant has its own style, and pretty much paints the same thing over and over again, though with some variations. Still, they have incredible focus while they are painting...

You would be both amazed and astounded to learn just how many screen names Dougie has created here, though. It's not a handful, or even a few dozen. He was at it even again this morning.

"What would the amount of miles traveled in a month have to do with the price of the truck's insurance for that month?" In an Emily Litella Moment, it doesn't. He's talking about the CPM fluctuating with the miles. So the insurance cost per mile is what's fluctuating here, not the actual...

I know two people who decided against buying a van and getting into expedite, simply because they didn't want to have to get a CDL. That alone is reason enough to require a CDL, to keep the riff raff out of the business, and I never told either of them that there are plenty of carriers out there...

Yes, vulgarity is an opinion. For example, the undressed is vulgar, the nude is pure. But when I'm nekkid I am neither vulgar nor pure, I'm just scary. "A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound...

exiguous –adjective Used in expediting to describe the net revenue of an expediter

I gotta give the Big Cat some credit, tho. I have said some thing on here that I know have mussed their fur a time or two hundred, and they've let me be. Granted, everything I've said has been true, but still. We got the posting problem fixed. One of those mysterious aethernet things. I...

It is in the dry inland regions of Outback Australia and the south western coast where you will find the elusive Wrongie, one of the most maligned, sometimes feared, and misunderstood of creatures. If you choose not to run from this bizarre creature, it will engage you in conversation on all...

Moot, Moot, Moot, it's a question of vulgarity. Penises, and what they do, are inherently vulgar, everyone with good breeding and high refinement knows this, especially truck drivers who think they aren't truck drivers. The line between the common, ordinary people and those of good taste is...
