    Ft. Hood Massacre: 12 Dead, 31 Wounded

    I bring up the examples I used because there are some, many, who would consider the Ft Hood incident as terrorism, but not the Amish schoolhouse incident. The question is why? I mean, I may have missed it, or my memory is failing, but I don't recall anyone calling that milkman (a misnomer, since...

    Ft. Hood Massacre: 12 Dead, 31 Wounded

    Sort of, but what is happening with Muslims goes beyond run-o-the-mill religious bigotry, which is why I stayed away from using the term. Racial bigotry is the more mild form of racism, and thus pedestrian religious bigotry doesn't really cover it. Well, that statement, if allowed to stand on...

    Getloaded only allows a single logon per user now. It used to allow multiple users but they changed that. And a computer at Panther's office is nearly always connected to it, using up that one logon slot. You'd need to sign up and get your own username to ensure any kind of reliability to log...

    Ft. Hood Massacre: 12 Dead, 31 Wounded

    I never said you were a racist. But, the same manner in which a racist deals with race, is how the racist-equivalent deals with Muslims or other particular religions. As far as I'm aware, there is no such word as "religionist" to mean the religious equivalent of racism, yet that's exactly what...

    Ft. Hood Massacre: 12 Dead, 31 Wounded

    LRE used the wrong term, but his meaning for what racism is when applied to a religion, and to what is happening in here, is the same. Those who are engaging in the practice know they are, and it's why they are hammering LRE over the misuse of the word "racism". It's like hammering someone over...

    "because you run a business....and it is YOUR freight...Express 1 is only an agent between the customer and yourself." Technically, that's not true if you are running under their authority. They are an agent, and you do take surety bond virtual ownership of the freight once it goes on your...

    Bolt express is a freaking joke...ruining our business

    Actually, regardless of how many times a load gets swapped, there's only one PRO number issued for it.

    Well, of course you're right, but do keep in mind that POD money is your money to begin with. Wanting to have access to it as soon as possible is not akin to some kind of business failure. If you think about it a little bit, look at it from another perspective, some carriers hold on to your...

    How much does it cost the average driver in an average van over the course of an average per week during the winter months north of the Mason-Dixie Line to run a propane heater?

    I think Espar of Michigan still has one Rigmaster left over from the from the Expedite Expo. It was there a couple or three weeks ago. If it's still there, anyone who wants it will get a really good deal on it.

    Teach the Children and let then Lead the Way!?!?

    It's an ancient technique used by nearly everybody on the planet since the beginning of time. Used by schools, religions, the KKK and McDonald's. Whether or not it's brainwashing depends solely on whether or not you agree with what is being taught.

    You'll find it in most any complete dictionary that lists variants of root words, and it simply means two or more words or phrases that mean essentially the same thing. But, if you really want to understand semantical in all of its forms an philosophical permutations, you will have to read...

    No, actually it is semantical. It's a qualified semantics, and I stated that there is a difference, but qualified the semantics and put it in the proper context. Yeah, on the surface of it, looking at it narrow terms, dismissing certain factors, sure, there's a significant risk involved in...

    vans... winter tires???

    The problem with snow tires on an expedite vehicle is that we spend virtually no time driving in conditions that require them. Snow tires are made so that they are softer and more flexible in colder temperatures, and will give you a much better grip on icy and snowy surfaces, but because of the...

    OK, there are several things going on here. One is the blurring of the difference between percentage POD money (or a load advance, if you like) and a straight up off-load or off-PRO advance. In this business, whether you get POD money at the time of pickup or after the delivery, is largely...
