    ugly side

    Please continue with your research. You may find that McDonalds pays at least minimum hourly wage, uniforms and other benefits for full-time employees. Employees are free to go home after their shift. Employee discounts for meals while working along with the added benefits of grease for one's...

    Michigan roads

    Minnesota had a budget surplus of $1.5 billion for 2018. One of the newly elected governor's campaign promises was a .10/gallon increase in the gasoline tax for road improvement. Hate to use a surplus for road improvement when a tax increase can accomplish the same results.

    Panther 2019

    Around and around it goes, where it stops nobody knows. I will report back when when my number gets called. Perhaps, but Panther's van fleet is non-CMV. As such we vanners are subsidizing the rest of the fleet for FMCSA, IFTA etc. compliance oversight.

    It sure makes for pretty television graphics showing the U.S. map with reds states here and blue states there.

    Black Smoke Matters...

    A handful of O/Os traveling 100 miles at minimum posted speed through Illinois isn't really a show of strength and solidarity. Sure it will make the local and regional news, but that's as far as it will get. For nation wide exposure to the cause I suggest all truckers sport MAGA hats, MAGA...

    Big Truck advice

    Not trying to scare you off but trucking can be physically demanding. Even sitting on your butt all day takes a toll on your health. Loading and unloading a trailer by hand may be a good aerobic exercise but not so good for the back and shoulders. If you can afford to quit your HAVC job give...

    Black Smoke Matters...

    A slow roll in the right lane on a Saturday in January could seem innocuous and palatable to the motoring public. But that could change quickly when a company driver in a 65 mph governed truck tries to pass 20, 30, 50 or more T/Ts nose to tail in the right lane. In my opinion slowdowns and...

    Big Truck advice

    One of the reasons I'm in a van is due to shoulder problems. I've had surgery on one shoulder and eventually will need surgery on the other. I attribute the shoulder problems to throwing freight, tractors with no power steering and shifting manual transmissions. Today, most large fleet...

    Sure makes for better viewing than some stiff in a suit ringing his doorbell at 10:00 in the morning.

    Why not Trump agrees to... Even the ABC News piece you linked had a neutral headline. No negative spin.

    Why not post your list here. Better yet start a Tall Van Wash thread where we can add locations to your list. A mod could make it a sticky.

    "...so we can welcome him properly to the Capitol," This sounds a bit ominous coming from Pelosi.

    The Trump Card...

    Pelosi: "I still make the offer: let's work together on a mutually agreeable date, as the original date was, mutually agreeable, so we can welcome him properly to the Capitol," she said. This is beginning to sound like the Paris Peace Accords. What next, the height of the dais?
