    Some Wal-mart employees planning a strike/walkout

    I'm just curious. What state is your mother working in?? I do know that the Wal Mart Truck Drivers are the highest paid private carrier drivers in the country. I don't understand how they have the really low end pay and the really high end pay. They forgot about the middle guy.

    Some Wal-mart employees planning a strike/walkout

    I couldn't agree more, the problem with that is where the Wal Marts are located. They started out taking over small towns and wiping out the small business person. After accomplishing that where else can they go work?? Yes it works maybe in a big city but W/Marts are mostly in smaller...

    Some Wal-mart employees planning a strike/walkout

    You should try doing business with them. It's as close to communism as you can get.

    Looking Ahead to Possible Tax & Deduction Changes ... Bad for Expediters

    I think OB's goal is to get rid of small independant businesses and make all businesses file on the corporate level. That way they can also collect corporate taxes on profits. It's also called socialism.

    Is the Military CDL Act of 2012 really beneficial ?

    In some respects I can see the waste of money. But, more than 90% of the CDL holders have been through training to get a CDL. I can say that VA money for training Vets to drive has nothing to do with turnover, don't know how you figure that. The waste of money is the WIA program that the state...

    Is the Military CDL Act of 2012 really beneficial ?

    A new bill signed by Congress last year called the "Post 9-11 bill". It now pays for Veterans to go through CDL training at an VA approved school. I have a good friend that manages Sage Technical in Lexington SC was talking about them being the only school in SC so far that has been approved...

    Papa Johns Pizza cutting hours

    Sounds to me like there's still a lot of people around that just haven't figured out how to be a Capitalist. It's their money, they have more than us so some think they are crooks because they aren't taking care of them. I think that comes under the heading of "Share the Wealth". Health...

    Need to replace fuel pump in a chevy express van

    Smart thing to do. Very easy to do on that model. Just do it with very low fuel level, don't have to drop it to the floor, just about a foot will do it. Don't forget to take the fill neck off.

    The Future of Expediting; Yes or No?

    I think it's a sign of the times. Another words when the unemployment is high and money tightens up they get a cheap truck and run just to get through the hard times. Right now nobody has any money and it shows. It also shows that a lot of new carriers around and they will lease anything or...
