A 500 mile deadhead isn't very likely to be one that picks up in less than 8 hours from the time of the load offer. :) But in a more realistic scenario, 200 miles for 140 loaded, you turn that one down and it's subject to a refusal. I would hope that discretion would be used, or if they need to...

UCLA did one study that was replicated a year later by Ohio State and Arizona State (as well as several States) where, in both controlled conditions and in monitored real life conditions, people had the same exact reaction times while talking on a cell phone as someone who is legally drunk...

They are if they're gonna drive a truck.

If you already have a FAST card and/or an HAZMAT endorsement, the background check that was performed for those will satisfy as credentialed background checks for TWIC. You still have to pay for the TWIC, but at a reduced price. Granted, not much of a reduced price. The full price is $132.50 and...

Sorry, but I tried to explain it as simply as I could. Yeah, it would be easier to understand and explain if it were simply the last consecutive 30 days or the last consecutive 60 days, but they way it is calculated is still pretty simple. My problem with it was merely that the math wasn't...

Is the Acceptance Percentage based on 30 days? On 60 days? Fixed or rolling? More often than not, the math doesn't work out regardless of how you run the numbers. You accept a load, or refuse a load, and you watch your percentage do unexpected things. The math doesn't work out. So how is it...

PTT phones are classified as cell phones, so they'd fall into the hand-held wireless cell phone category.

Yeah, I picked up on that, too, so I looked up the language of the law itself. The summary on the page ATeam provided uses more common language that is aimed at the general populace, rather than using the precise language of the text of the legislation. The term "hand-held communications...

Mine be missin' a word only if'n ya ain't a bruthah.

I concur. If the purpose of posting is to communicate your thoughts to others, ya might as well post it in a manner that be easily and unambiguously understood. If the purpose is otherwise, well, there ya go.

Actually, the information ATeam provided is correct, and your statement in the original post, as written, is false. You state that it's illegal to use your cell phone in New Jersey as of March 1. That's not true. You can. You just can't be holding it while you are using it. In any case...

Actually, uhm, that's exactly what it does. At least in this culture, a person's job is what separates, differentiates, and defines the social classes within the social hierarchy. In egalitarian, or non-stratified societies, like hunter-gatherer or forager societies, usually small groups, or...

Your best bet, to stay healthy, is Western Star or Sterling. :) I'm thinking of marketing some women's underwear, panties with the Hino logo on the rear and the Volvo logo on the front. Whaddya think? :D

I dunno. I suppose it's easy to think of not getting into an accident as the reward for not keeping the computer. But, I've not gotten into accidents lots of times after doing nothing at all that deserved a reward, as well as after doing something that I should have been punished for, probably...

Just a quick note about the comparison of fluid dynamics of water and food coloring in a cake pan, to that of smoking in public. In order for that to be a valid comparison, then "public smoking" must be considered as the entire planet contained within the confines of the Mesosphere and lower...

Humble, I did read the entire thread, every word. I'm not sure why you presume that I did not, but in any case, if you go back to your original post and rewrite it to omit anything that you personally find annoying with what smokers do, you'll be left with a post about consideration. "Why is...

Actually, it was... Whether it was "some" or "many" is largely pedantic semantics, but if you'd left it at that, left it to be all about consideration, as you say, people wouldn't be as likely to get all bent out of shape. But, you didn't do that. It's not at all a post about consideration. It...

That whole half empty, half full metaphor sounds like something that was invented by a motivational speaker. When I see a glass that's half empty, I see that as a positive thing. After all, it could very well be an empty glass. So when it's half empty, it's only half empty. And when I see a...
