The problems I am seeing is with those who have traumatic brain injuries and/or PTSD. The HEAVY use of psychotropic medications, often without proper monitoring, is, at best, irresponsible. I have also seen a few cases of severe infections due to improper fitting of prosthetics along with...

There are also good and bad consignees. One of our rare "home visits" was to deliver a very large screen TV to a private residence. The consignee paid for "curb delivery". When we arrived he proceeded to tell use where, in the house, he wanted the TV set up and wanted to know how long the set...

It is obvious that, as always, the government has little interest is solving the problem. Once they are done using people they are, for the most part, done with them. Once they are no longer serving they are nothing more than financial liabilities.

Why are those states getting back more? Is that the fault of state or federal policies? What "kind" of monies are they? The article does not mention whether or not that is "welfare" money, as in entitlement money, or "other" money. All it talks about, unless I missed something, is "raw" dollar...

"Just as you want the employer to honor the contract, so must the worker. Both sides should play by the rules." THAT would be a first.

Glad to see you are still with us and have not been scattered across the space/time continuum. Home is always a good move. Enjoy your time there .

There are 31 towns in the US named Bowling Green. Which ONE are you in, or have you been scattered in time,and/or space, by nasty, mean space aliens? :p

There is also a need to have much better screening of those who seek to enlist.

No, I live only about 10 miles from there.

Mostly true. That cartoon did not mention the garbage women who are there as well. When it comes to politics it does not matter if the "person" is a he/she or it, they all just seem to suck.

Heading up to my Dad's house in a few minutes. The company that is installing his stair lift chair moved the installation up to today.

Weather is the pits here today.

One story mentioned "medications". That seems to be a common thread. This REALLY needs to be looked at. The same can be said for those with severe brain injury. It becoming apparent that they do not have a handle on that at all. Early reports say this soldier was dealing with both a brain injury...

Double or triple that if your first payment on that new $250,000 truck is due in 10 days! ;)

Yep, it is only a matter of time

That may be so, BUT, it WILL happen to you and it likely will happen more than you would like it to. When it does happen is always costs you money. There is NO way to deny that unless you believe that, YOU, YOUR TIME, are worthless.

2-3 hours waiting to get loaded. Now you cannot deliver on the same day, SO, you have to sit on that load over night, deliver in the morning, where you can sit for another few hours, all the while keeping you from being available for another load.

True, but it is not so much pizzin and moanin when the problem being discussed is real and serious. I for one can attest to the loss of several thousand dollars in lost revenue and burnt fuel due to problems with shippers and consignees.

One cannot spread manure unless one is full of it.

It costs money to sit. That includes while sitting to load or unload. For many in here, sitting waiting to load or unload includes the burning of fuel in a TCU, which costs even more. In more extreme temps, one has to burn fuel in an APU, to maintain comfortable temps in the sleeper and cab. All...
