ANYWHERE in California!! We do what we have to do, BUT, we are being FAR pickier on loads that take us out there. Those loads have to pay a LOT or no go. It can just be far too iffy out there.

A "Lot Lizard" is the name given to "hookers" that work the truck stops!! They come in all shapes/sizes and colors. Many are MORE than willing to provide "teams" with service as well. We once saw a "Lot Lizard" version of the "Happy Hooker". A woman in a car drove slowly by us as we were...

I would love to know this guys ENTIRE story. I have learned while talking with wounded warriors that they are OFTEN not getting care that is needed. Both for physical AND mental problems. The VA does not have enough staff to handle what is going on. I don't know if this soldiers problems are...

More "stuff" going on in Mexico. This is a VERY bad situation on our southern border. With our uncontrolled borders it is likely that this mess will move into our country. Why has the Federal Government NOT lived up to what IS their job and controlled our borders? It would seem that our...

Welcome to the forums and don't be a stranger!! Ask away, there are few dumb questions and if you do happen to ask one we will all be sure to rag on you without mercy!! This business can be fun AND rewarding. You must, however, treat it as a business. You must also realize that besides being...

It is almost always a BAD thing when the federal government does something "for" or "to" us. Our system was originally set up to have minimal federal government interference with the power reserved for the People first, THEN the States and LASTLY to the Federal government. Things have become...

I think it is more than lip service. I think that he really believes this stupidity!!

There is a very fine line between fair trade and free trade. Protectionism never works but neither does a free for all. Right now we have placed ourselves in a negative position. A neutral position is where we should be. Opening up to unlimited Mexican trucking could run us deeper into the...

"and he has the White House bully pulpit" A fitting phrase for a narcissistic bully such as Obama. He actually BELIEVES that he knows what is better for me than I do!! Amazing!

I wonder why and when they started this silly system with wire and shotgun gauges? I mean why would anyone one in their right mind have a SMALLER number for a LARGER size gauge? I understand the gauge sizes since I grew up with them but for someone who might not have it could get very confusing.

OOIDA has been hammering on this from day one. This is more a case of more the merrier. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and the more of us that hammers those duds in Washington the better. Same goes for the hours of service mess.

Obama is living in a place called GAGA Land. He is SO far off base with this that it really is hard to believe. He has GOT to go in 2012!

There could be one really big difference between Mexico and Canada and that difference have a huge effect on U.S. AND Canadian trucking. Sea ports. Mexico will put in a number of new ports. That will, in many cases, shorten the run for ships. The Mexican port workers will work for FAR less than...

Ted Kennedy got away with a lot, maybe murder! Of course he was a Dumb-O-Crat AND a Kennedy!! Barney Franks did too.

Shoot, cricket players don't even know what they are playing!! I mean, really, at least one of those guys out there is bowling, not playing cricket. Besides, I get a lot of "crickets" in my house every fall and none of them ever play that game!! :p I used to have a cricket bat, WITH the...

I know about football (soccer) I just seem to remember something about each county in England having an "official" cricket team and that, at least 30 some years ago in Yorkshire that they still required that you be born there to play for that team. That is EVERYTHING that I ever knew about...

Good thing I never had a daughter. Would have shipped her off to a convent in the far reaches of Alaska 2 years BEFORE puberty struck!! Boys were bad enough, but at least I could kick their butts to keep them in line!! :D Kicking butts was the MAIN reason that god invented steel toed boots!! :p

Hey, My youngest son could, if he ever wanted to, be allowed to play cricket for Yorkshire!! I don't know if it still holds true but I do know that back then you had to be born in Yorkshire to play for the "official" Yorkshire team.

What democracy might that be? Can't be speaking about the U.S. We are NOT a democracy, we are a Republic. It IS a GREAT GREAT picture to say the least!! http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/AmericanIdeal/aspects/demrep.html

I will take one of those Honolulu runs!! Hawaii is the ONLY State that we have NOT expedited in yet!! :p
