    US cigarette makers sue over graphic warning labels

    Oh, okay, gruesome photos will deter minors' smoking. Sure. Worse than Joe Camel, this idea will cause 14 year olds to all want to carry open packs and smoke in front of their friends to prove they're not scared of black lungs. Stupidest idea yet. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a...

    US cigarette makers sue over graphic warning labels

    I know everytime I light one up what risk I am taking. I know what risk I am taking everytime I get behind the wheel of my truck on I-75. When I eat butter, red meat, potato chips...you name it. Far as I know, we only go around once, no one is immortal, and who really wants to live forever? I...

    US cigarette makers sue over graphic warning labels

    Read the warning labels on the new lightbulbs. I have a friend who is afraid to put those in her house (although she smokes a pack a day). If we adhered to the advice of all label warnings, we wouldn't smoke, take blood pressure medications, aspirin, eat Snickers bars, etc. Anything can hurt...

    vanners: what's your fav truck stop?

    The TA in Antioch, TN. It is where we spent most if our time on the road. Great areas off property to walk for our exercise. First runner up: Flying J in Laredo. Clean and even though the landscape is, well, west Texan, plenty of room to move around and keep the blood flowing. "Bruises fade and...

    And...It's...Over....(for now)

    Gotta keep up, he may return in 2, 3 years with his trusty T/T. Depends on how well CDL-A driving satisfies his wanderlust and desire for the unknown. Besides, I know when we go back out together, we will be talking to expediters in truck stops across America. You do realize I will be home...

    And...It's...Over....(for now)

    Cargo insurance cancelled, van for sale, authority (forcefully, LOL) voluntarily revoked. We'll be away from expediting...for awhile. Forever? Who knows. But that doesn't mean we're leaving EO.... Nah. Y'all ain't gonna get THAT lucky.

    Fleet Owners.... 2 Cents Worth

    When Jeffman had his small fleet, he made sure he had money in reserve to pay his drivers immediately. Good thing too, for one of his long term carriers all of a sudden took 120 days to get their pay caught up. The drivers never went without getting paid. Jeff took on that burden. "Bruises fade...

    I started dating Jeffman 17 months ago. 10 months ago he invited me along on my first expedite in his raised roof cargo van. I have gone along ever since. We found out by living in the van...eating, sleeping, setting up the bed every night, putting it away every morning, reading, watching tv...

    Aug 01 Question of the day

    This same conversation took place in PA between Jeffman and me as some of our vital organs were being jarred loose on the turnpike in June. I am still unsure where my liver is...anyone at the Pilot in Morgantown, WV find a burgundy blobby thing laying out by the gas pumps...? "Bruises fade and...

    Recruiting Manager

    My boyfriend has never held a union job, he has been self-employed since he graduated college. Requesting fair pay and consideration and treatment for exemplary service isn't "union", it's human. He, nor anyone, doesn't have to put up with being cussed out by a dispatcher when said dispatcher...
