    Congress does it again

    And?? What good would it do to drill our own oil? The price per barrel isn't going to magically drop. Everyone seems to think that having our own oil will make a difference.... NOTE: Canada...They are self-reliant and they pay as much as we do per barrel.... Unless North America...

    Dodge Is Going To Fix Those Pesky Sprinter Problems

    Very Disappointing numbers

    From an outsiders observations..Can Phil support his claim...? Nearly ALL carriers have a no favourtism policy some adhere to it closer then others and some dispatchers can mask it better and justify sending that unit for the load...MAYBE rookie dispatchers would be fired BUT I highly doubt an...
