‘Individual mandate’ to buy health insurance is key to universal coverage MSNBC television is unashamedly leftist, but the dot com version is generally even handed. However, here's a story that disappeared from the "headlines" after only a few short hours and was quickly relegated to the...

I'm familiar with Star Parker and where she stands on most issues. She is a regular commentator on C-SPAN on satellite radio, as well as a one of the main conservative political analysts on POTUS, XM Radio's political news channel, a channel that I listen to almost as much as MLB Home Plate. I'm...

Did you know that the UN (and it's related research organizations and affiliates) has mandated that "water vapor" be eliminated as an official greenhouse gas because it is one that humans do not produce in sufficient amounts and cannot control? As a result, the effects of water vapor on the...

We can't have much of an effect, much less control, the local weather, but human-induced Global Warming and Climate Change is based on the premise that we can. Mount St Helens put more debris, ash, particulate matter and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere in a few seconds than mankind has in...

The wind tunnel data on my Sprinter matched nearly perfectly with my real world experiences.

It wasn't all that long ago when Michigan, and most of the Midwest, was buried under miles of glacial ice. Maybe we should go back to that time.

I stopped in there this morning, knowing what to expect. Went in and handed the girl at the fuel desk my Comdata card and Road King card. She asked me if I had my CDL. Me: "Uhm, yeah, I do." She: "Can I see it?" I looked at her like that was an odd request, but said, "Sure," and I took it out...

"I will NO longer purchase fuel at this TA or ANY TA that requires that information. I will drive off." That could have been worded a little better, I think, especially since that is the very thing they are trying to prevent.

There are many advantages to having a leased carrier other than merely finding your own loads or when you get paid. For example, if there is a legal problem, the larger carriers have the legal experience to deal with it and help you out. This is particularly true of issues on the other side of...

Doug, with very few exceptions, the conclusions, and most of the observations, are based primarily on computer models. Software is written to simulate the global atmosphere and the worldwide weather. If you don't like the results of the modeling, or if you think one thing or another has more...

I don't have to read your mind, all I have to do is read what you wrote. You posted an article that predicted the breakup and demise of the United States, and a very bloody one at that, and then you stated, "Personally Ihope the guy is right, I'd love to see it......" You've also stated many...

I guess I'm the nutcase, because I can see when a conservative "gets it" as well as see when a "liberal" gets it, and I refuse to utterly dismiss anyone merely because they are a member of a particular political party. In this case, Paul Begala absolutely nailed it with his take on her...

Yeah, I agree, eventually someone is gonna say enough is enough, but when that happens there will likely be a cascade, not a fragmented divide. There are already rumblings in State Houses all over the country that could easily push things. There won't be any emergency session because there will...

If I responded to that in the manner that my gut tells me to, I'd fly right past "warning" and go directly to "permanent ban".

If I were going to do local work and get paid by the mile, I'd want taxi rates, at least, and that assumes no-touch freight. Like, $2.50 to start upon arrival at the shipper, then 40 cents for each 5th of a mile or for every 30 seconds spent stopped in traffic, waiting to be loaded or unloaded...

He may get it, but for an actual Hollywood writer, he's a really bad writer. He writes like Liberace played - grandiose, over the top, and humorous only to himself. It's as hard to read his stuff as it was to listen to Liberace's.

N95 respirators, like Phil notes, is a good thing to carry in the truck. They can come in handy in a number of situations. We've always had respirators around the house. I really can't remember a time when we didn't. My dad did a lot of woodworking, so that's probably why. Any N95 filter will...

When you can it, it actually goes directly into the system, but it does take a little time for them to look at it and confirm that everything's there, check the FSC and accessorials, and enter it into the payroll system. That's the reason for the delay.

Yeah, but. There's a tradeoff when it's a shipper's market. The tradeoff might be a decent rate, but at far fewer loads. Landstar didn't buy Prestige and NLM because they were rolling in dough. They've lost a lot of loads, revenue, market share, stock price, and a lot of owner/operator trucks...
