    Pilot to buy Flying J - could it be true!

    Here's the link, Phil. It has lots of details: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/36554-ta-expedite-king-rewards.html The food requirement is a little weird, but at the same time it's a good deal for those who end up where there is a TA but no Flying J, as I have many...

    Flu Schmu

    That's my deal on all this. The "warnings" aren't even warnings, they're issued after the fact, after it's too late. The various DefCon levels of a pandemic are based on numbers infected and geography, and by the time you get that data, along with the 24-48 hour incubation period, it's way too...

    Sensationalist Bias

    The shooting at the Recruiting Station in Little Rock is out there, but it's unclear what to make of the story at this point, since his motives are not yet fully known. I read the story first at the CNN Web site, and it is being reported basically the same as the abortion clinic doctor's death...

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    The speed limiters are just like Red Light Cameras and speed cameras. The laws are already there, but using hardware limiters and cameras make them easier to enforce. Ever been to London? It's the same as a Vegas casino - no cameras in the restrooms, but they're everywhere else. On the wall...

    Sensationalist Bias

    The other day in another thread we were talking about bias. Well, it was mostly me, of course, but others chimed in. Everyone has a bias, usually many, manifested in different ways, just like everyone is prejudiced to one degree or another. We can't help it. Education, experience, beliefs, they...

    It wasn't until very recently that I learned that there is a Ford plant in South Chicago. Go figure. Still haven't been there, tho.

    You can remove these GM Plants from your GPS

    I didn't mean to convey that just because I've never been there doesn't mean that closing it won't affect me. It will. Every time a facility closes, the Expedite Pie gets a little smaller. There are no tellin' how many places that ship or receive expedited freight every day that I've never...

    I need your input asap

    I would just like it if I could see the locations of all the trucks (in my class, anyway) on a given board. The truck unit numbers aren't important to me as much as where they are.

    I've been to the GM Pontiac plant once. Never been to the others.

    More Chicago Politics??

    You're confusing Internet Blogs with news, just like you're confusing a Blog that is hosted on the Detroit News servers as being sanctioned news by the Detroit News. A basic news story, even a highly biased one will at least include the verifyable Five W's of news: Who, What, When, Where, Why...

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    Sorry about the typo. In my initial reply in this thread I used the correct date of 1913, and mistakenly typed 1918 here. Again, sorry about that. The inventor of the modern automobile, Karl Benz, was tooling around town in his noisy, smelly car and the otherwise lovely people of Mannheim...

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    Everything that you can do is a right, you have the right to do it, right up until the point they pass a law against it, or until they pass a law against doing it without a licensing to do it. Prior to 1918 you could drive a car without restriction, without having to obtain a license for the...

    Pilot to buy Flying J - could it be true!

    There is something like 2000 truck stops in North America, and if you include fuel stops like Pacific Pride, you're in the 10,000 range. Pilot Travel Center currently operates and licenses over 300 locations in more than 40 states and 1 location in Ontario. Pilot claims to be the nation's...
