If Captain America said it, it must be gospel and you can take that to the bank.

During our last outing, Rene' and I heard from "knowledgable drivers who had reliable sources" that some acquisitions would soon be announced. These included: FedEx has bought Werner FedEx is buying Express-1 FedEx is buying TriState TriState is buying Bolt UPS is buying Panther Panther is...

We Americans sure have a healthcare system at which few, if any other, Countries would marvel. But, there is no better healthcare anywhere in the world than in the US of A. People come to the United States for any number of reasons. Those that come here, from any Nation, should adopt the...

I concur. If we were to knowingly house or employ an unprosecuted thief, rappist or murderer, we'd be subject to prosecution for aiding and abetting a criminal. If we were to knowingly house or employ an unprosecuted illegal alien in Hazelton, PA, we'd be subject to litigation by the ACLU.

No K-bar, particularly when attached to a rifle. Got a Louisville Slugger? Best to also have a ball and glove otherwise it might be considered a weapon. A sawed-off Louisville Slugger would be a good tire thumper, but not in a van.

Broom: The melted water will be the same, at 32+ degrees, in each cup. If the water was any colder it would be ice again.

A 40% load acceptance rate is indicative of a 60% unacceptable offer rate. High unacceptable offer rates are not necessarily indicative of Cherry pickin'. We have a rather low acceptance rate at this time of year and have turned down several well paying runs, three in excess of $800; we've also...

Linder. Just send us a gift card; you don't need to wrap it.

Interesting comment. I haven't seen any plans for the 4 acre memorial but I have wondered if there will be an religious sybolism at the memorial that won't be attacked by the ACLU, et al.

Vinnie: Your question deserves a two part answer. An Owner/Driver leased to a carrier is either paid a percentage of the gross tariff or a milage rate. Milage compensation differs from carrier to carrier, as some pay deadhead, some pay partial deadhead, some pay no deadhead. Some carriers...

A_A: St Louis is a pretty good expedite area with a generally steady amount of freight, yearround. Like any area, busy depends on the company to which you might be leased, the area in which you live or are laying over, and the type of truck you are driving. I recommend that you continue to...
