I agree with what you are saying or even maybe a year ago. With a change in the makeup of the court, now I'm not so sure.

Can't argue with Phil's premise, but it is all about the dollar. Training of any form is more expensive than the camera.

Nope. Can't go by that. Seen how Obamacare went through the court today. It isn't what something actually says, it is how they want to interpret it.

That would be the risk that carriers aren't likely to take unless there is a surplus of drivers and trucks. If hypothetically Panther decided to do this, I would have no issue having the trucks pulled by the end of the week. Too many other carriers want our fleets services.

To some degree they did and continue even now. The other side with regards to manufacturing changed a lot due to a global economy. Lot of foreign competition for a lot of things and unions basically priced themselves out of the market.

I was waiting to see what reaction that would bring. :D

I would agree. Bill Clinton would be a Republican by todays standards.

Well you know when you throw money at it, the problem gets worse. You know this because we never had these problems at the level they are now 20 years ago, and very little got thrown at it then.

Very true how that works. We had a driver hit one of our trucks in a truck stop and tried to run. Another driver got his plate and he admitted he hit it. Got the truck fixed in about four months and zip on down time except what we got from Progressive via their policy which had a max payout of...

Very true. I guess one could drill down a little further and look at how this would or could be used by some carriers. As mentioned, catch a driver looking at a gps for a little too long. Gone for distracted driving. Just tell the fleet owner to find another one. Rinse and repeat. Or, again as...

Well, actually you can. Study a post prior to posting and consider how it could be interpreted. The minute you go after as in this case "Russians" or a moderator for example, you lose the very audience you are trying to win over for your cause.

I think you addressed your own concern. We understand your message, but the delivery is getting interpreted as a racist rant.

The Gap store closing issues as mentioned are tied to many things, but as they indicate, rising wages is a component. It is the same when you look at the state of Washington. Turtle is correct, you aren't going to read stories about it, but businesses there that raised the minimum wage have done...

I could see some advantages of a forward facing one, but not in the cab for the reasons that many listed. Again, no real benefit to the driver. He/she stands to lose more than they would gain. Also as mentioned, the independent contractor component would likely kill anything like this. Also have...

After almost eight years, it gets a little hard to blame it on Bush or the republicans. They do have their faults. If you are going down that path, might want to start with Carter.

Your funny. So raise the minimum wage, and just today you get this. So predictable. The gap raises wages, and then cuts jobs. Same with the majority of them that followed that path. http://www.wsj.com/articles/gap-plans-to-close-stores-cut-jobs-1434399781

And there is the problem. There is no benefit to the driver if a contractor and has one facing them. Might or might not be good for the carrier, but that is a different issue. Most would use it as another profit center if they could. Would need a surplus of drivers to pull it off, and that the...

If employees, it could happen. If they are independent contractors, not going to happen. There is no benefit to a driver to have one facing them.

It is pretty simple. Even the majority of democrats say the economy is struggling. Hillary is banking on it.

He may surprise a lot of people. I wouldn't be too quick to write him off.
