He's got a pic in his sig of his butt, apparently. He deleted his post, and thus his sig.

So, you're saying that with the flip of a switch, the US military would be willing to take on the responsibility for civilian airline and watercraft safety worldwide, and the inevitable crashes that would quickly result? Puhleeze. As for a system designed where our enemies could use it, it was...

Yes it is. It's both. Dual-use technology. Newp. The only "switch" they can flip would be to make the civilian units slightly less accurate. How could you have been involved with these things to the level which you claim and not know this? The military frequencies are already encrypted. Most...

There are lots of digital camera reviews sites out there, four big ones, but only three that are the cream of the crop. These three sites give in-depth reviews, comparisons, lots of sample images, and honest comments about digital cameras. The largest and most comprehensive with a small army...

No, a history book is all that you need. If the UN had made any headway at all in any of the areas of their goals, that would be one thing. But in every single case, everything the UN touches is worse now than before they touched it. The US government is an amateur compared to the UN at mucking...

Sorry. I do that every now and then. I once called a turbo charger a throttle plate. :D

It's more a case of just covering the bases, seeing if anyone brings up something he hadn't thought of, good or bad. When he said he has, "many years experience in expedite and transportation logistics," that's true, he just didn't elaborate how much and what kind. He'll fully understand the...

In my spare time I like to pretend I'm Thor, the God of Thunder.

"If that is the case, I am confused with the question of asking?" If he put all the stuff in this post that he did in the PM he sent me, you wouldn't be as confused. I'd elaborate, but that would be a breech of decorum. Suffice it to say, he knows what he's getting himself into.

Yeah, I know. It was rhetorical. FTL = Full Truck Load LTL = Less-than Truck Load FTL was shortened out of redundancy and other reasons to TL= Truckload I was just taking a cheap shot at someone who should certainly know that LTL doesn't stand for Less Than Load, for if it did, then TL would...

The Preamble to the United Nations Charter: "We the peoples of the United Nations determined: to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of...

Well, I respect Jane Fonda's right to free speech. The only thing I have a problem with is Nixon's decision to not have her charged, tried, and then shot for treason. It was a slam dunk case if there ever was one.

If you deliver in Louisville, why deadhead to Lexington to check in and be 90 minutes from the pickup, when you can just stay in Louisville and be 15 minutes away from the pickup? No, this silly "check in" thing is just that, silly, not to mention counter productive. Yeah, it puts everyone...

If you have a scanner in the truck, and a laptop with Internet access, you can install the Transflo software and scan directly from the truck. That's how I do most of mine anymore. Otherwise, you can do the scanning for free at most any truck stop except the Flying J. There are a few Flying...

For the most part, lot lizards stay out of the car/van/RV parking lots at truck stops. Only been hot on by one once, where the car lot kind of bumps up against the edge of the truck lot. Can't even remember which one it was. Baytown J, I think. I dunno. I pulled in and within 30 seconds she was...

Please keep pics to no more than 640 pixels wide. Otherwise it nearly locks the thread. :D

I routinely change my oil in a truck stop parking lot. Actually, that's the only place I've ever changed it. First time or two I had a dealer do it, but since then it's been out here on the road. Last thing I want out here is stripped drain plug threads. Well, the last thing would probably be a...

What I wanna know is, if LTL means "Less Than Load", then what does TL mean?

Howdy Clearly, not nearly enough. Panther, Express-1 and many other carriers, normally in a perpetual "new hire" mode for vans, are suddenly no longer looking for new vans, and many, in fact, are actively looking at ways of downsizing their van fleet, not merely staying static. There's a...

Plausible Deniability is exactly right. Just read the resolution. It was very specifically worded in such a way that Russia and China could sign off on it, and still have plausible deniability. Even if the US knows for sure that the ship contains illegal materials or weapons, under the UN...
