Got a load from St Louis to Deer in East Moline, so I'm hanging out in beautiful downtown Davenport at the J. What's surprising me the most is how the J, Iowa 90 and both Pilots have the truck lots nearly full, at least as of 11PM eastern time on Thanksgiving Eve. Way more trucks out on the...

Moot, brilliant. Just brilliant. Gotta go, just because Panther books some NLM loads doesn't mean they are NLM or that they book even a majority of NLM loads. NLM makes up a much smaller percentage of Panther loads than one may think. The percentage of NLM freight that I run, or even the...

Yeah, right, just show me the link. :) You won't find one. I know it's been reported a lot in the press and other places, but those reporting it didn't do their homework, either. That neat and pretty 1 in 10 number did not come from the US Labor Department, it came from a 2003 study by Center...

They said, "Don't drive." Period. Nothing else. No reason whatsoever for why they said that? They didn't tell you that you had to have it? They didn't tell you that without it they can't let you run for them? Nothing? Just, "Don't drive."??? Man, must have been a really short conversation.

One basic element here that is being missed is that the Zurich insurance is insurance, not escrow. An escrow deduction and an insurance deduction are very different things. The insurance deduction, just like the bobtail deduction, is an insurance payment that is paid to the insurance company...

This country does NOT owe the Big Three a HUGE debt. This country supported the Big Three, and even continued to do so when they were putting out crappy cars that cost more, until it became clear that our support got us nothing in return other than more UAW strikes for higher wages and benefits...

"Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course..." That's it exactly. Automakers tout how they're doing things differently, how this or that new model car will be out by the end of next year, but it's nothing more than a...

You should see what them generators crank out in New Orleans. They'll blow yer doors right off. They're worthless in the Space Station, tho.

If they still have your escrow, then there is, without question, more to the story. As a side note, who is Panther Eleven? Did they hit the Bellagio, too? The name of the Carolina football team's starting lineup? Maybe Obama's Secret Service nickname? Or is it how many loads Panther Expedited...

In honor of your return, here's some local news you might have missed. I crack up every time I read this. From Reuters CANBERRA - An Australian outback mayor's plea for lovelorn female "ugly ducklings" to move to a remote mining town to reverse a shortage of eligible women has won him the...

I'm not sure what kind of analogy that is supposed to draw. A sports star is the paid talent, not the owner, CEO or COO of the sports team, as these three guys are. When a sports team starts losing money the first thing that happens is the guys at the top start getting paid less, as their pay is...

Not that it matters, but just for the record, I've never smoked a joint. Not even once. Been around it, though, and for some reason it gives me severe heartburn when I'm around it, so I've never had any inclination to partake (especially now, knowing the cost, OMG). Be that as it may, it...

Yeah, that "intentionally" part really did the trick, pegged it hard. We're gonna have to start shoveling some of this irony out of here. Oh, my.

As many of you may know, I love good irony. I love reading comments like how "Un-Bruno'ish" the post is, and how it appears to have been properly edited into a proper English document, a statement which is both subtly oxymoronic and deeply rich with irony in and of itself. But, then, and in...

Yes to both.

What part of "ALL" and "POTENTIAL" do you have problems understanding? There was no qualifier about UNLESS YOU ARE anything. It was all potential child molesters should be castrated in preemptive fashion. That means anyone with balls. That means you. Doesn't matter whether you are a child...

Tickled pink. Scarlet with embarrassment. Purple with anger. So angry they're livid. Sad and Blue. Green with envy. Jaundiced yellow. White with fear. And people call black folks colored. Too funny.

Yeah, I get all that, and I'm right there with ya, but at the same time, I'm not going to turn down a well-paying load so that one of my less fortunate colleagues can take it instead. I was once on a load, like 800 miles or something, and Panther wanted to swap it out after 400 miles, stating...

Real men don't back up. hehe Couple of years ago, when I was still using my laptop as a GPS, the pounding of the road finally got to the hard drive and it finally crashed. The screen hinges where on their last leg, too. And the pounding also took down an external hard drive. Now, I use a...
