I see your point. As someone from the outside looking in, just did not occur to me when I posted, as it was a rather general question. Thanks. I do not want to put anyone on the spot. If you don't ask, you don't know. And as many of you have pointed out over time, it's always a good idea to...

(This is mainly for FedEx drivers, but I value anyone's opinions.) I know some of you we have talked to have mentioned hauling DOD (military/defense) loads and I know you need clearance to be able to do these type of loads. At what point do you apply for said clearance? As we are in the early...

Things have changed a bit for us since I last posted this thread. Unless something completely unexpected happens, we will be joining all of you on the road sometime late this fall. If things go as planned, most likely with FedEx CC (if they will have us), or possibly Panther, and definitely in...

Like ... that ... would ... make ... a ... difference? Science, ain't it great!

And I guess we all see the bang up job the Democrats and Republicans have been doing!

Aristotle, I just can't help but feel you are equating Libertarianism with anarchy, and that simply is not the case. Libertarians recognize the need for limited governments and social order, but only when said governments do not infringe on individual rights and liberties. Anarchy wants no...

Aristole, you asked, respectfully, I would strongly suggest that you are living in one. I have read through the Libertarian Party's platform and I cannot find one single idea that is at odds with the ideas of our founding fathers as laid out in the Declaration of Independence and the...

I think if you take the time to look at the core tenets of Libertarianism, you would find a philosophy surprisingly close to that of our founding fathers. If you read through the Libertarian Party's Platform, there really is not much there that really conflicts with the thoughts of Jefferson or...

Sort of sounds like a "catch-22". To be able to get hired to drive, you have to have experience, but there is no way to get experience other then driving, but you have to have experience before anyone while hire you to drive to get the experience. :eek: So how did we get all the current truck...

Good afternoon everyone. Looks like the wife and I will be taking yet another look at entering the expediting world. This marks the third serious look we have taken. (Read about our previous thoughts here and here - caution, will take some time - I love to write) This time there is more of a...

Well, this guy seems to think it unnecessary, but hey, he is only the president of one of the Fed banks, so I guess he doesn't really count.

Mark, I seldom post here, and like you, I too have no experience in expediting. (Trucking more than 25 years ago yes, but not expediting.) You seem to be bound and determined to proceed against the advice of those infinitely more experienced in these matters. I do think you are overlooking a...

Xenophobia - it's a human thing.

Watch all of the film. <spoiler alert> --> Bambi grows up. </ spoiler alert> :cool:

Thanks! I'm right there with you. Getting older is really not much fun.

Witness, Thank you for your service. Thank all of you for your service. Please do not take this the wrong way. I am not intending to question your service, just trying to clear up something. Did you possibly mean you served from 1990-1994? Desert Storm and Desert Shield were operations from the...

I love the smell of vitriol in the morning.

I may not miss the Bush tax cuts, but I do miss common sense. There is a quick and easy solution to the entire budget deficit problem, if someone would just have the guts to put it in place: Stop spending money! Why is that such a hard concept for our government to grasp? Are they really...
