    What would you do?

    Congratulations Greg,you never fail.You have once again wasted your time on a bunch of facts that have nothing to do with the specific subject at hand. If you will respond to the exact topic,the rlationship between automobiles fatalities and the use of cannabas sativa,in the United States,I...

    What would you do?

    I'm sorry,I just have not seen any scientific evidence to substatiate your argument.Just because it's illigal(as booze was for many years)does that mean that in small amounts it cause's driver impairment?Not according to the documented evidence I have read.

    What would you do?

    Very interesting comments indeed. But lacking from this conversation is the well documented history of long haul truckers using all forms of speed and stimulants.Now,I'm not assuming anyone on this forum has ever indulged in such activity,but the statistics contunue to strongly suggest it's just...

    "Truism"

    "Truism"

    RE: YES Passionate Sorry Star,that argument no longer carries water.It is now beyond a debate,but I understand that some need to keep the door open. There is not one recent scientific study,not one,that suggests anything other then green house gas's. I don't equate you with a friend of big...

    "Truism"

    RE: YES Passionate Greg,I have just a couple of comments. The USA is the largest producer of green house gas's in the World.We have one tenth the population of the Worlds most populated countries.Get it?Who cares about Europe,Japan or China or the moon.We are the biggest problem,the BIGGEST...

    "Truism"

    RE: Passionate? A perfect example of "truth",and the need for some to have an opinion that defies logic,is global warming. The skeptics site proof that green house gas's have nothing to do with the ice cap melting(even glaciers in Wyoming are melting)and try to use history to make their...

    George Bush is visiting the Queen of England.He asks her"Your Magesty,how do you run such an efficient government"? "Are there any tips you can give me"? "Well", says the Queen,"the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people". Bush frowns."But how do I know the people...

    Art Museums and Art Couriers

    As an owner,and not a driver(anymore)I certainly do not encourage my teams to turn down an art load because of a ride along courrier,even across country.I guess I'm greedy,but these loads generally pay very well,and the grief of a ride along (if there is grief)is not forever. I consider ride...

    (Please Advise Us with new truck pricing)

    I both own and lease.Advantage to owning is obvious.Paid for and the deal is done.No residual.One drawback to owning is the depeciation lessens with each year over the life of the loan.With leasing,the monthly payment is treated the same as a rental,a total business write off for the term of the...

    True Americans

    Your right,I guess the Church of England of the 16th and 17th century was just a loving and tolorant place of worship,a mild mannered counrty church in the woods. I still have that ocean front property in Arizona Greg.Interested yet.........

    Expediting company

    A very brief comment.After six years with FEDEX,I have achieved,and most years,exceeded my goals.However,there are dry,rough times in this industry,and I am forever warning newbies to make certain this is what they want to do. Don't know a thing about vans.
