    Shaving tires

    It is called tire truing. Can be beneficial. Most new tires when installed aren't 100 percent round. This addresses that problem. Finding a place with the machine can be difficult but it isn't expensive.

    sitting in Columbus oh

    No load to run, or no load offers? Two different things. If in Columbus regardless of the vehicle size you shouldn't sit two days unless the carrier has to many trucks there. Either they aren't looking, bidding too high, or driver is being avoided for some reason. Could be several reasons. If...

    The Obama 4 Trillion dollar budget

    The base price of oil and gas (excluding add ons like taxes) is bought in advance on the spot market. That number is based on volume & production based on a global index/market. Example would be using benchmark numbers from OPEC. They set there output and price per barrel based on the global...

    Forner IRS's Lerner pleads the fifth, AGAIN.

    Oh I don't know. Two wars, a dismantling of the Constitution, Obamacare, and thousands of new regulations and....no need to go further. Republicans controlling both houses with a democrat in the White House will likely result in numerous stalemates.

    Here ya go, Leo. A little voter info.

    Correct. If the system changed, so would my opinion. True but it doesn't change the end result. I guess that is where I was ultimately going. Unless the process is changed, I agree that this is basically a two party race. For better or worse.

    Forner IRS's Lerner pleads the fifth, AGAIN.

    That is true in this case. For that reason they need to continue investigating or give her immunity which her attorney already requested. The only thing I'm not sure on was something about death threats towards her and they wanted to wait a week. Not sure if that is true or not?

    Here ya go, Leo. A little voter info.

    In the case of MN, it can work. Or at the state level if the candidates are known. Ventura as a third party was a known entity. In a national election, a combination of every party outside of the democrats and republicans can't break the ten percent threshold. In fact, most others aren't even...

    Here ya go, Leo. A little voter info.

    True. The problem is, most voters don't know three candidates. Probably one of the reasons that many don't vote at all. Tennesseehawk wrote Very true. But it likely wouldn't matter either if no one knows who they are.

    Here ya go, Leo. A little voter info.

    Almost forgot. For any of the above theories to work, you would have to have say, three candidates that are somewhat known. It is taking that in to account with the above. Anyone watching late night entertainment quickly finds many Americans don't even know who Biden is. Maybe a poor example as...

    Forner IRS's Lerner pleads the fifth, AGAIN.

    One thing for sure if that happens, it will be two years of spending and nothing else happening. Considering the alternative, that may be the best thing that happens.

    Forner IRS's Lerner pleads the fifth, AGAIN.

    They will probably subpoena her since she isn't talking. Think at this point I would like to see her retirement pulled until she does say something. Can't do that legally but it is the thought that counts. The democrats keep saying there is no "there, there" yet can't explain why she is taking...

    Here ya go, Leo. A little voter info.

    Just my opinion based on observation, the theory makes sense until you plug the American electorate in to it. It only works if you have enough people thinking that way. I am all in favor of a third party. But it has to stand a chance. If it was anything close to a viable option, you would have...

    The Obama 4 Trillion dollar budget

    I don't think it matters the party but the monetary policy. You hit on the key one. Inflation. Value of our currency drives the price of everything.

    The Obama 4 Trillion dollar budget

    That is what some on the left don't get. Or they do, but they certainly don't want you to know it. The very "spread the wealth policies" they adore, are also the very policies the keep shoving the poor farther down the well. They are just too stupid to realize it. They claim its corporate...

    Maybe...but we certainly know which sells better. Have to agree, a good pie is great medicine.

    The Obama 4 Trillion dollar budget

    I find it amazing they still think there is no place to cut. Just wanting , you guessed it. More stimulus. Fortunately, this likely won't see the light of day. Obama?s $4T budget plan? Tax the rich, spend on infrastructure | New York Post What is of interest in a short amount of time, our...

    John Kerry

    I would agree most of that is common information. He has always been about the money. With regards to Russia, he was handed a mess. That blame falls squarely on Obama and Hillary Clinton. They made the huge mistake when they wanted to do "a reset" with Russia and the policies that followed.

    Obamacare pizza surcharge

    Comparing Wendy's to a pizza place is much different based on the requirements. Same thing with the requirements now being placed on the vending industry. Finally it looks like a bipartisan effort is on its way to correct some of the stupidity. Uproar over ObamaCare?s menu rules | TheHill

    How to Market Yourself at Landstar

    We do something similar for broker loads but don't do anything with a website. Might be good in the beginning but once they know you then probably not. In the Landstar case you are dealing with quite a few agents so I think it is a nice touch in that instance.
