    please help new to the biz

    Some carriers can, some can't, some will, some won't. Mainly, rather than spend time searching for a specific load going to a specific geographical location for a specific driver, they are trying to get the loads they already have in hand placed on empty trucks. If you're sitting in, say, Omaha...

    heat for layover ingargo van?

    I dunno. Couldn't hurt, I suppose. I'd want to do more research before I did it. I do know that if you have a refer and don't have a white roof on the box you're gonna eat somewhere between 25% and 35% more refer fuel than if the roof is painted white.

    I do want to add these final personal thoughts and views to this mess. Hopefully it'll be coherent. Stereotypes are, in large part, based on a truth. "Don't stereotype people!" is something often said. Well, there's a reason that the stereotype exists, and its because it is based in truth, by...

    As well you should be. And here's why... There ya go. Expediting is no business for someone to be in with a young child at home. That child needs a full-time dad, not a weekend dad. But with expediting, you won't even be a weekend dad. Two weeks out and then a couple of days home is the...

    Maybe a few inches, tho. I finally broke down and got a Verizon Aircard. They have Broadband Access, which is fast, and National Access, which is a little better than dialup. Broadband is in the major cities and along many Interstates. It just so happened that right after I got mine I ended up...

    heat for layover ingargo van?

    The best source of heat in a cargo van? An Espar heater, hands down. Nothing else even comes close in efficiency or cost effectiveness. Like Cheri said, insulate the van like crazy. It helps with keeping warm in the winter, as well as keeping cool in the summer. An arctic sleeping bag, several...

    A sign of success

    "As professional as they seem to be it makes me wonder how the safety department isn't all over that issue; considering many of those Sprinters have a custom built sleeper package." I don't know where the misconception came from that all Sprinters with a custom sleeper package cannot haul more...

    People are gullible for a plethora of reasons, there is a need by most people to be led, and most will blindly follow, ignorance, hate, deflecting blame of their own situation onto others, educational and economic demographics, lots of reasons. Lots. Very few people actually buy into the...

    Why wont they let Sarah talk to the press?

    Uhm, 1927, as part of The Radio Act of 1927, which was then superseded by the Communications Act of 1934, and Section 315 of the latter Act is where the Equal Time provision can now be found. When it was first devised in 1927, it was done so because of the fear that radio station owners could...

    Well, actually, most of "The Protocols" were penned in the 1864 book Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu by Maurice Joly, and were then blatantly and unceremoniously plagiarized, often word for word, and edited for an antisemitic cause for use in opposition of the Russian...

    Awesome Video - Test Your Awareness

    Once you view that one, then view this one to find out why. :) After a minute or so of setup they show the experiment that boggles the mind. Fascinating. Somebody Else's Problem Here's another one with basketball players. In this one, the video instructs you to count the number of...

    Moderation, to be sure. Once you cross the line to the fanatical, of total submission, regardless of the religion in question, the entire concept of "free will" becomes a laugher. As for the charlatans... were they really charlatans? The word is often misused with regard to religion, but all a...

    They say that money is the root of all evil. They are wrong. It's religion. (I'm on a campaign to be real popular here lol). Religion is about power and control, and the more power and control one has, the more one is corrupted. Absolutely. Islam, Judaism, Christianity, doesn't matter, it's all...

    With cheese and chips, but I'm good either way. :) I was raised in Cincinnati, grew up on White Castles. But after living back down in the south again for lo these many years, I find that I like the mustard kick of Krystal. I stand before you, head hung in shame. However, I'd drive right past...

    QC $11.53/wk

    Just a couple of points. Satellite, cell and even WiFi are the technologies that Qualcomm incorporates into the new OmniVision QC system. Qualcomm, for at least three years now, has no plans that are airtime or character based, meaning they don't charge by the byte or by the character, so there...

    Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age

    Well, the article doesn't actually say that Europeans settled North America first, it says that there is evidence to suggest or support the theory. There's a difference. That's how science works. You have a theory, or competing theories, and then you chip away at the parts of the theory for...
