    Something is weird here .....

    Using IE, I can not see the posts, all I get is a white screen when I click on them. I have the list, just not the actual post. The message box is what is blank. And I can NOT start a new thread. Using Chrome, I can see things, but to start a new thread I have to scroll all the way to the...

    How free are we?

    Not at all ... but ... the Constitution is specfic about that also ... The Federal goverment SHOULD have limited influence on "we the people" ...... the more local you can bring goveranance into play, the better .... imho

    How free are we?

    U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8 - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net Article 1, section 8 defines what powers the Federal government shall have, anything NOT listed there remains the pervue of the states. What so many confuse is the FERERAL government did NOT create the...

    How free are we?

    If you desire taxes, then place them at the local level. The all encompassing FEDERAL government has no business in states affairs. When those taxes are levied at a more local level then those taxed have some, (not much), control of it's use. Why should I, a resident of Ohio, be held...

    Life changes

    I would only wish I had a father to care for ... mine abandonded me and my mother at my ripe old age of 8 months. Care for your family, it is all we can do ..... and do it with a smile .... though it may be ripping your heart out! I'm not sure who was concerned for your leaving, instead of...

    Freedom? What Constitution?

    There must be a bit more to this story than reported. If you watched the video with this story, there were multiple weapons being carried, and displayed. Me thinks it was more a case of him being cantankerious with the police.

    Honda EU2000i Generator

    If you feed all the output through an inverter, it is cleaned as it goes .... then a "cheap" generator will work.

    Your Sprinter Sleeper

    I think I posted this once before, but I really like the Midway conversion .. but it is a tad heavy. And if I were to ever purchase one again, I would INSIST on a lighter bunk frame, that steel channel is simply to heavy!

    Honda EU2000i Generator

    Try a ceramic room heater instead of a heat strip. It kept my Sprinter warm, but then I have a dedicated "sleeper". My Yamaha, (like the Honda), is also a 2000watt. The only issue I noted with it is the a/c trying to cycle. If it is left on full bore position, the generator will run it on low...

    Turnover Rates

    Zorry, the main reason I carry the torch for Landstar, (no pom poms), is I want the freedom to decide my own fate. No depending on a forced dispatch, dispatcher, qualcomm qualified, cowboy. And I have said time and again, if I were not here, I'd be knocking on Load1's door. And what works well...

    Turnover Rates

    Right Dan, except the $$$'s come from one source, and also is credited each Wed for paperwork received by Monday morning.

    Turnover Rates

    I have tried to impart the fact that LEAM is very close to having your own authority, (without all the hassles). As a BCO at Landstar, you have hundreds of agents, (companies), you can contract to haul freight with. Each of those agents are independent businessmen. So while others may do multi...

    Used Tractor Purchase

    I drove several tractors back from California. I used a temporay plate provided by the dealer. If it is not, at the moment, a commercial vehicle, as in having signs, fuel permits, etc, then it is NOT a commercial vehicle at all. That said, it is DESIGNED to be one, so if it walks like a duck...

    Turnover Rates

    I was there in 2003 also ... and the number sticks with me it was still about 250-300 BCO's ... I'm not disputing your word, becuase I don't remember exactly. Safer.org list the units at 205 today.

    Verizon to ditch phone plans, go with shared plans

    Those month to month plans, such as Cricket, use ATT&T, Verizon and other carriers to provide a signal. It's just a remarketing of an existing product. They get cheaper rates because they contract to purchase vast quanities of air time.
