If you understood the industry well enough to buy a straight truck, then you would have understood, utterly, why the need for the $1500 hold back and that a 30% fee for finding the load, dealing with the brokers and getting paid for the loads, the hassles of insurance and the DOT, etc., isn't...

Without question there needs to be health reform in this country. Whether people take advantage of the system and live off the government depends on how the reform gets done. There is actually very little taxpayer money that goes to pay for uninsured emergency room and other health related...

The schoolyard name calling has been going on ever since John Hanсoсk called Benjamin Franklin a fat garden gnome.

Actually, that's precisely what it is. To be ignorant is to be lacking in knowledge or training about a given subject. If someone claims that another's words show ignorance, then they are also claiming the person is ignorant, at least about a given subject. Just because someone is ignorant about...

Thanks. Would have been good to meet you, too. You don't run into very many expediters out here as it is. SLC can be weird, at least for a van. Lots of UPS Freight stuff, and air freight like this morning. Some go short, like up to Blackfoot, some I have taken a long, long way out of here. I...

I dunno. It might just be me, but the Sprinter windshield seems to be very hard on wiper blades, where the blades become worn out and nearly useless after just 2 or 3 months. The Rain-X blades seem to last longer than the others I've tried. Regardless of how long they last, though, they work...

There are hundreds, thousands, millions, heck, billions of people who won't donate to this or that cause because they no longer believe in the cause. Film at eleven.

I can't recall any shipper or receiver actually treating me badly. A few have the time, opportunity and facilities to provide some extras, like being given an hour in a combat tactical tank training simulator at an army base, or being given a seafood buffet dinner, a bed and then breakfast at a...

I think it was about equating the number of EO posts someone has made, to something that matters. I was expediting for several years before I made my first post here on EO. What does that mean?

I choose 1. And I choose 1 whether it's a flat-rate or a wildly variable percentage. There are both profitable and unprofitable loads with a consistent rate, and I don't want to be forced into taking an unprofitable load regardless. I'd rather sit an extra day or three rather than take a...

I run a battery powered H and V, but not the AC part of HVAC. I have an Espar heater which handles the H, and a FanTastic Fan Vent which handles the V.

You're welcome. Yeah, sometimes it's just easier to call people names, attack them on a personal level, point out grammer and speeling mistaks, rather than attack the issues at hand. One has to bolster one's ego and importance some how, ya know. :D

I once has a waitress ignore me. Another one brought me something I did not order. People make mistakes of all kinds, and the system of health care a given country has won't affect that.

OK, for a gasser, or a diesel at the car/RV pumps with the "Frequent Fueler Card" program, each 15 gallon purchase gets you half a shower credit. It's that simple, no further calculations required. A 14 gallon purchase gets you nothing, and doesn't count towards anything. A nine gallon...

The quote-quote-quote method of replying may seem ignorant to some, but the reality is that it's the only way to intelligently reply to a post where the reply addresses several issues so as to make it plainly evident as to which comments are being addressed. Quoting what you are replying to, and...

Because health care, universal or otherwise, is not an inalienable right, and the privilege of US citizenship does not grant you any additional rights other than the inalienable rights the country was founded upon. Just because you want it, even if you want it really, really bad, that doesn't...

No, no link. But I talked with an Ohio State cop about it (many years ago, tho), and my stepdad once got a ticket when he and a buddy were driving abreast up the West KY Pkwy for like 30 miles. :D The driver in the left lane was ticketed for impeding traffic, and my stepdad was ticketed for...

What about allowing Van Nuys, CA based tour bus companies to run in the US? This bus was running illegal in the good ol' USA, because the FMCSA denied the California company its Interstate Common Carrier application, and thus is illegal to carry passengers on that bus within any state outside...

That's because the left lane always has the right-of-way. Always. If you move over to the left lane, and get hit or cause an accident, it's because you failed to yield the right-of-way to the left lane. If you can safely move over to let someone on, it's a courtesy (albeit in violation of the...

Bottom line, you chose to me on that road at that time. If you had chosen a different time to be on that road, or chosen a different road altogether, i.e., if you had been somewhere else, you would not have had an accident, therefor it is a preventable accident. That's just how retarded some...
