That is exactly how I expect to see this play out. The day Trump outlives his usefulness to the Republicans he deeply offended is the day Pence becomes the answer and impeachment proceedings begin.

It's not about the Clintons any more. They are yesterday's news. Now it's about how long Trump can maintain the support of the Republicans that stand behind him for the moment. Many flip-flopped to get there. They can easily flip-flop back. Trump viciously attacked many of the Republican...

I would not say that. At FedEx Custom Critical it never paid off to be a team player. Dispatchers used that card when they wanted us to take an undesirable load and we quickly grew wise to that game. It paid to become well known among the dispatchers as a professional team and that's where the...

In 1992, when Ross Perot was a candidate for president, I jumped on board. When our state organization was asked by the State of Minnesota to name electors, I was one of ten so named. It later developed that Perot dropped out of the race and later returned. That turned me off to Perot and...

It is highly unlikely that the electors will vote against Trump in sufficient numbers to alter the expected outcome. And even if they did, there is no majority candidate likely to be elected. If enough electors defected, the vote would go to the House of Representatives where the Trump election...

This is not new news. It is a more complete report of FedEx's Fred Smith's comments on trade. Smith and Trump seem to have opposite views on trade and Smith is not shy about talking about it. FedEx Chief Fred Smith Blasts Trump's Trade Policies

Might it not be a black ball list but a white ball list? By that I mean, might brokers and shippers have their list of favorites who have served them very well in the past, and those are who they call first? If I had loads to book and the freedom to choose one carrier or truck over others, I'd...

As a business person, candidate and president-elect, Donald Trump has shown a penchant to fiercely attack those who attack him. These attacks are often made at the personal level where Trump tweets and makes statements elsewhere to undermine a critic's reputation and credibility. Where he has it...

TWLCL - Truck with Lotsa Chicken Lights

Learning how to sleep in a moving truck was a bit of a challenge for Diane and me when we first started, but no more so than it is for most drivers, I presume. We drove factory-sleeper trucks for three years and slept in factory sleeper beds. Some trucks rode better than others and we slept...

I was glad to see the article also explains what niacin is bad for under certain circumstances. Those include: Liver damage: This is one of the dangers of taking high doses of niacin over time to treat cholesterol. It’s more common with slow-release nicotinic acid, but it can also result from...

I shared this on my Facebook page and our gym page. I don't need to have my phone on while I drive.

The keep question is important, as is the management question. How do you manage the money you keep? As a group, truckers seem to be spendthrifts. If they make money, it does not stay in their bank accounts long. In that regard, truckers are little different than most other Americans who live...

Diane and I did great as a married-couple expedite team, but not simply because of team-miles and run pay reasons. Because we were together, the need to go home was reduced. We stayed out more and made more. Because we enjoyed each other's company, it was not as urgent to deadhead someplace...

I have a couple of initial thoughts to share with you, Lifesbeachy. 1. Subscribe to QuickBooks Online and learn how to use it, actually learn how to master it. In other words, learn how to keep a good set of books. If expediters have a common weakness, it is that they do not treat their...

When you your goals conflict, you must sacrifice one to achieve the other. "Maptitude will run on Windows installed on an Apple Mac." Do you want to save money or draw your map? The PC-based mapping program Diane and I used when we were in the business no longer exists. If we were in the...

To do that, I need a list of the features you desire in a mapping program. Kindly provide if you want me to give it a shot. The data transfer issue is already resolved. See my post above about exporting data from Streets and Trips. The first product that seems to meet your needs as you have...

So how hard is it to find mapping software that does what you want it to do and transfer your S&T data to it? That sound to me like a routine event. Is it really such a difficult project? Granted, I have had not had reason to research mapping software recently but, come on. Is it really that...

A quick Google search on Streets and Trips data export will produce a number of suggestions about how to export that data from S&T and import it into another program.

The answer to your first two questions is yes, for some people and no for others. That's pretty much like any other business opportunity in any other industry is it not? Some people make it, some don't. It's more about what the person brings to the table and/or what the person is willing to...
