I know you didn't change the names. It's changed like that all over the net. How the names got mixed up, I have no idea. It's really not all that important to the story as a whole, wrote wrote what and all that, but I figured I might as well point it out, since there's so much made up stuff...

At Panther we get 55% of the load (not including FSC and assessorials) at POD. There is no percentage "hit" we have to pay in order to get this 55%. It's simpy a matter of getting 55% at POD, or leaving it all to be paid out two weeks later at settlement. I used to just leave it on the Comdata...

Many do lose their butts, and quickly. And it can usually be traced back to a couple of reasons why. One, they fail to fully research the industry, and instead see, on the surface, something that looks quick and easy. This is particularly true of former UAW employees who for years have seen...

"Bush is the one who started the new precedent that our government will decide who is going to be a winner or a loser in the so called free markets. You're givin' him waaay too much credit. "America has enough corn fields to feed the people if it really comes down to that...as there is no...

A couple of things. One, quote about Jesus and the American soldier was not a part of the original letter. Some Internet goober added that, then passed it along (as if somehow The Colonel's letter couldn't stand on it's own). The other thing, Lt. Col. Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr. was never a...

I'm a Union of one. I have great power. Which I occasionally abuse, absolutely. I can't fault anyone for taking a high paying job with great benefits. I can fault them for taking such a job and then not putting in an honest day's work for for an honest Dollar. That makes it a dishonest Dollar.

I'll be watching. I'll be watching very close. The alternative is nothing more than sticking your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes, and yelling, "La-la-la-la-la-la." Oh, I'll be watching.

Keep 'em coming Louixo. I enjoyed even this one. Life is like a box of penises... said Lorena Bobbit. Well that's just creepy.

I'm not actually a real turtle, ya know.

I've got four of the "D" ring E-track. They come in handy with some 1-inch ratchet straps with S-hooks on the ends.

Well, at least my perch includes an actual CDL. Yeah, I know, it's a Class C, but hey, some of'em out here don't even have that. <snicker>

Published: October 23, 2008 Good advice, but it's an old Critical Update. If you run Windows Update even weekly (instead of automatically), this threat would already be removed. Those who don't run Windows Update weekly, maybe every other weeks, well, you should.

Yup... I love it how owner/operators look down on drivers who drive for someone else, and how truckers with sleepers look down on day cab drivers, and how people with their own authority look down on those who are leased on to a carrier. Like any of that matters.

Urban legend.

I got mine at the Iowa 80, but the last time I was in there to get a replacement they didn't have them. I need another one, but I don't want to pay more for shipping than the silly thing costs. $3.50 for the socket and $12 shipping. No thanks. So I'm looking for one I can pick up, too.

It's really pretty simple. If you have an analog TV and rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna and watch only the over-the-air broadcasts from your local TV stations, then all you need to do is add a digital converter box between the antenna and the television set. The digital converter box replaces...

Nothing against Louixo, of course. :) I'm assuming he didn't write it. I do enjoy his posts. It's just that it's a really bad analogy, and what started off to be humorous (the Forrest Gump premise) failed miserably because the Blogger didn't have any intelligence behind the humorous premise...

"Same could be said for Israel..." Good example. :) As for uniting Mexican families, they don't need the US government to do that for them. They can go back home and be with their families, just like that. If they didn't want to be separated from their families, they shouldn't have separated...

I dunno. Maybe. La Razza is more of a special interest group, and they got the juice, but they do represent the feelings of a lot of Mexican Americans. Basically, Mexicans have wanted Texas and most of the Southwest back since the day we took it. Many still feel it belongs to them. We saw that...

A particularly stellar example of why most Bloggers shouldn't be allowed to Blog. Most Bloggers are just plain stupid is as stupid does. The Forrest Gump analogy is an excruciatingly bad one. Aside from the fact that Mortgage Back securities are not like a box of chocolate, because with a box of...
