Somehow, I think this is going to be a real issue for the White House. Didn't they just say that they did not send out any SPAM emails? Somebody lied! There is no way under the sun, that they should be using taxpayer money to promote ANY proposed legislation / platform issue. White House...

Thanks! Looking back through some photos, I found a picture of me and my best friend from high school standing in front of the straight truck I owned and drove for a while back in the mid 1980's. (I'm the one on the left, in the white shirt and hat) I think the picture was taken on Easter...

Evening everyone! Almost a year ago, I started looking into expediting as a possible future career and "lurking" here on EO. I even made a rather lengthy post :o, explaining our thoughts. (Here Caution, it will take a while to read!) Well, here is what we have been doing for the last year and...

Financial Bailout Support Could Reach $23.7 Trillion. Funny how $700 billion turns into $23.7 trillion. Maybe this will finally wake up some of our fine "public servants" in Washington. Doubt it. And how would you like to pay for that sir? Will that be cash, check, credit card, your...

Two overly simplistic solutions that I have not really seen mentioned in the "political world": The Economy: Instead of going another 1 trillion dollars into debt for a dubious "stimulus" plan, why not cut taxes 1 trillion dollars? I think American business would find something to spend the...

I think you have hit on the key - Parental involvement. If they parents are involved, generally the kids are successful. Sadly, most "traditional" schools tend to exclude the parents from the educational process, whether by omission or worse, by actively discouraging them from the classrooms...

I hesitate to post here, but I will anyway. Sorry about the length. :o (I am not an expediter, and truthfully, probably never will be. I was looking into it some time back, I think I'm leaning towards something completely different. I have spoken with several of you, and thanks for the time all...

If this is "change", I don't think I like it. Why do I get the feeling the only thing that is going to get "broke", is my wallet.:( My guess he "fixes" the problem with a punitive tax hike to discourage consumption. Full article here:Climate Progress Blog Archive Obama fills key posts on...

In reply to the original thread, not that long. The CNN Wire: Latest updates on top stories Blog Archive - DHL will cut 9,500 jobs, discontinue U.S. operations - Blogs from CNN.com

Followed Turtle's advice, I managed to get registered. Nice site with a lot to offer. Who are all the people that have registered prior to today? Or were they users imported from another forum user database? Is this based on a previously existing forum platform, or is it coded from...

louixo Thank you! I do see your point and I agree. Racism in any form is still racism, and is just not right. Black racism does exist and is every bit as ugly as white racism. If the polls are correct and 93% (last figure I saw) of black voters do in the end support Obama, I think it would be...

louixo, This is in no way an personal attack, (I have not been here for any length of time for that!:D) but just a few comments. I'm just not sure of Buchanan's crime statistics, especially those concerning rape. According to the US Dept. of Justice's statistics for homicide: From 1976...

bearcat44, looking back at the article, I think it means his father was arrested in the 1950's, but that he (his father) brought the family to the US at a later date. (mid 70's I would guess.) The simple, (and overlooked) solution: Spend less money! Cut government spending in half...

Great! I need another new keyboard. (Note to self, do not drink beverages when sitting in front of computer especially while reading online forums.>>> Micky D's Sweet Tea damages electrical components when expelled violently from mouth onto said components.) No back to our regularly...

Take a moment (ok, its a long piece, but worth the time to look at) to look at this article from Fortune. It talks about who will be footing a large share of the bailout bill. Are you a high earner but not rich yet? Higher taxes ahead - Oct. 26, 2008 I'm not an expediter (I don't even play...

If you are going to cast someone in the role of a "Maverick" as the McCain campaign has been doing, what else would you want or even expect?:D Be careful what you wish for. You may just get it!

Mamaduck, I'm also looking at getting my CDL soon, (Class B) and I'm looking at getting into expediting. In your first post you said you had taken the written portion of the CDL, but still had to take the HAZMAT written test. In your last post you said you now had your HAZMAT. Did you mean...

Actually, the Express-1 truck was (I think) an older Freightliner M2 reefer that had the Carrier unit mounted under the box.:p Several years old, but still looked like almost new~! The Tri-Stater was too far away to tell.:( I know ya was just kiddin, but I could not resist. Thanks again...

TeamCaffee, Moose Thank you both for taking the time to respond! The more we look into this, them more we like. I think we have some of the right qualities needed to be successful, as long as we stick together. I really would not even consider doing anything that would require us to be apart...

Good morning everyone, After lurking here for several months, I thought I would go ahead, jump in and introduce myself. (I’ll apologize for the length right now!) My name is Jim and I am researching the expediting business as a possible second career for my wife and I. IF we decide expediting...
