    Unions, Expediting and Labor Day

    Phil, you forgot to post the best paragraph. Today, union officials have drawn up a new political agenda that should give all Americans shivers. It centers around stealing voting rights from employees and rigging federal laws to monkey-wrench business operations. And Americans should be...

    Driving solo for an owner ...

    FireGears, what is your current situation and why would you want to leave it? This may not be the best time to switch companies. As for driving for an owner to learn the ropes, I think that is great advice. But if you already have experience and want to be an O/O then go for it!

    For all of you ripping George Bush in this post, I have to ask which George Bush are you refering to: George H. Bush or George W. Bush. Remember that the ground work for NAFTA was laid in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Our 42nd president's signature is on the NAFTA documents.

    >Could the word "OIL" have anything to do with it.??? It could, but cheap labor is the major factor. With all of the manufacturing and assembly being done in Mexico, U.S. companies are saving huge amounts of money on labor. Unfortunately transportation costs are reducing profits. Why not use...

    Problems with Panther

    Go to Panther's web site and click on "track shipments", enter the full pro number i.e. 2007....... What I find interesting is when the order was created. Amazing how a load can be booked 24 hours in advance and yet the driver gets 90 minutes to a 75 mile away pickup.

    West Virginia Baby

    Rich, I think you are referring to "The Prophet". I forgot about that movie. I was thinking about M*A*S*H.

    West Virginia Baby

    After not so careful analysis, I also have determined this post to be a piece of humor. A funny joke. FG, why is it that after reading your remarks I am always reminded of a character Robert DuVall played in a 1970 Robert Altman film?

    How Do You Secure Your Freight?

    When running totes, roll stock or pallets single down the center or anytime there is room to roam, always use wood blocking and duplex nails in conjunction with load locks and straps. As both Leo and Phil pointed out using straps in a "U" fashion attached to both walls along with load bars...

    Mexican trucks begin this weekend ...

    While I'm not for opening up the border with Mexico, I have to wonder what makes everyone think Mexican drivers are exempt from our H.O.S. and other laws.

    ED

    That's an old joke. I don't get the "Bubba". Viagra: loose sight in one eye. Masturbate: good luck renewing your CDL.

    Got Salvation..???

    One thing that I must point out is the idea that many can read the bible and can have a clear understanding of it. Sorry for those who think that way but there is and were people who have devoted their lives to study and still don’t grasp it. Greg, you are missing the whole point. We have...

    ATF - Alcohol, tobacco, firearms! Seems like a dangerous combination to take on the road. The ATF may have been recommended for it's lubricating properties. I have heard of people using light vegetable oil in their tanks. I guess this is to make up for the lubricity lost from low sulfur...
