Here we go again.... U.S. senator promises look into cellphone-cancer link | Technology | Reuters "Iowa senator Tom Harkin, newly empowered to investigate health matters as chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, promised on Monday to probe deeply into any...

I've ordered a bunch of stuff online from Truck-n-Tow. I once ordered some stuff from them online while I was sitting at the Detroiter. I have no idea why.

Yeah, I think he got a 1590 or something like that on his SAT's, but his father's input sure didn't hurt. And his mother was on the board of directors of a bank, I think. The whole family were well versed in finance, politics, law and business.

Oh, you'll just luv expediting then. When you call dispatch, they won't tell you there aren't any loads within 1000 miles of yo, they'll just tell you, "Don't call us, we'll call you." Then you obviously know that you need to outfit the van for living. Like insulate it like crazy. Make sure you...

Here's his Score Card. And check out the Pants-On-Fire Rulings link while your there. :) Some here will find this one particularly troubling, where infamous attorney Orly Taitz produced a copy of Obama's Kenyan birth certificate from 1961, and attached it to the filing of a lawsuit. I love...

That's probably where Microsoft got the idea of charging computer makers for Windows whether the computer shipped with Windows or not. :D

Here's a link to the AP piece at the MSNBC Web site. Shows a picture of a bacterium-laced shower head. The first sentence cracks me up: In what may be the scariest shower news since Alfred Hitchсoсk's "Psycho," a study says showerheads can harbor tiny bacteria that come spraying into your face...

Thanks for the link. I knew that some of those road signs (not just the stimulus ones, but regular ones, like an Exit sign) cost anywhere up to $1200 or $1500. But some cost less than $500. I guess I never figured in the cost of a wooden pole on which to mount them. There was a big deal about...

When Gates was in middle school, he, Paul Allen and a couple of others got banned from using the computers at a computer company that the school system had an agreement with so the students could get computer time via a terminal at the school. The four got banned for exploiting bugs in the...

Is that what they cost? I know all those signs cost way more than they should, but Holy Crap! I figured (quite ignorant of how much they really cost) they cost something like $200 a pop, and that's way more than should be spent on silly signage when you consider how many of them there are. Very...

To cover all the bases, Senator Johanns also added SA 2356 on the heels of 2355, which states: After section 414, insert the following: Sec. 4__. None of the funds made available under this Act shall be distributed to-- (1) an organization which has a pending indictment for or has been...

Welcome. :) First thing, take a little closer look at the back of your hand. hehe The cargo vans lost still have not caught up with the freight. Meaning, there are still far more cargo vans out here than there is freight for them. Freight is picking up, but this is far from the hump. Freight...

Bill Gates turned 15 years old in 1970, so if he was shipping anything in the 60's, it was probably on the cheap, especially considering he founded Microsoft largely on a lie and stolen ideas. :D Several companies helped him out in getting started, not one of which has been the recipient of...

I just put on a set of Michelin AT/2 tires. The AT/2 (all terrain) has even deeper tread than the M/S (mud and snow) and longer treadwear than the A/S (all season), especially when they're full o' nitrogen. I got 125,000 and 135,000, respectively, out of my last 2 sets of A/S Michelins, and...

Sheetz doesn't, either, least not any that I've been to. Also, just to reiterate, in case you don't know, you can use the Comdata card any place that accepts Maestro cards (the logo looks a little like Master Card, which makes sense since it's MasterCard International's leading debit brand)...

I gotta ask.... what kinda costume are ya gonna get?

Yeah, like Leo said, if you're with one of the carriers where you get serious discounts at the TA, then it's often worth it with a van. But there's another factor: showers. The TA is helping a lot with the Expedite King program for vans ($10 spent in one of their restaurants plus 20 gallons of...

Comdata will get you the cash discount, usually about 7 cents, and only on diesel. Buy 20 gallons and you've saved $1.40. Buy 25 gallons and you've saved $1.75. If there's a $2 transaction fee (Comdata recently upped theirs to $2, at least with Panther), then you've gone backwards. With...

Yeah, it seems to me that as long as they get their 15%, what's the difference in where you want to go? As a van driver I don't mess with backhauls, tho. I gave up on that a long time ago. I either won't go to a place where I know I won't get out of, or I'll make sure it pays enough up front to...
