    can anybody tell me what's wrong with this deal

    This thread was DOA, so the door was wide open to morph into pretty much anything. The thread starter also tried to create an account using another name and email address (both accounts using the same lame-assed throwaway email service, incidentally), with the second account Not Approved. As a...

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    The background check is indeed a federal requirement, even for Texans. There is no waiting period in Texas (like a 3 day or 5 day waiting period), but you will have to sit and wait for the background check to be completed.

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    Guns sold between private parties, person-to-person or at gun shows are exempt from the background-check requirement. But at a gun shop, you'll definitely go through the background check.

    Newvember

    There are a lot of shippers and receivers that I go to where I walk in and stand there, and people walk right by me and don't even see me. After a while I'm quite positive that I'm invisible.

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    The church shooter was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force, meaning, it is illegal for him to possess a firearm.

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    Twitter crackpot. The same Samir Al-Hajeed was also the Vegas shooter. He's a very busy Irish Catholic former Marine Islamic convert.

    The Trump Card...

    The questions asked in that poll are intentionally designed to elicit a predictable response. Something to keep in mind with most polls, actually.

    The Trump Card...

    I think it's a very, very, VERY good thing. As the Tucker Carlson video above shows, the swamp is deep, and it doesn't really care about partisan politics or political ideology. Partisan politics is the game they play to deflect attention from the real game, that of money. I don't think I...

    The Trump Card...

    Political talk shows and the talking heads, the Soapbox and the posts within it, toilet paper. These all serve important purposes in the moment, but once the moment is passed they are all equally disposable. Ooohhhh! Conspiracy against the United States! Sounds ominous, almost like treason! It's...

    The Hunt for Roadbed October

    It's MLB postseason T-shirt Season! If Houston wins tonight, I've got t-shirt deliveries in Houston (from Irving) on Saturday, and then Houston-to-Houston on Sunday. We've got two other Load One Sprinters picking up here in Irving, too. If the Astros lose tonight, it all gets pushed back a...

    The Hunt for Roadbed October

    Yeah, it's pretty gnarly. Priority Air Charter out of Kidron, OH (between Massillon and Wooster). They have three of those PC-12 planes, each can hold about 2500 pounds (depending on length of the flight), as well as three of the Cessna 208B Grand Caravans, each can hold 3200 pounds and up to 3...

    The Hunt for Roadbed October

    Got a load from Warner Robbins (or, Atlanta when viewed from the Moon) to Tulsa, OK (well, when viewed from the Moon). My first load out of the Dayton office.

    ELD''s in cargo/sprinter vans

    It's an old argument, and one that cargo van drivers who occasionally haul HAZMAT have been complying with for years. The only thing that might change for some people with the ELD mandate is the method of accounting for those previous seven days. It just depends on how the carrier decides to...

    The Hunt for Roadbed October

    I'm near Atlanta, too, and didn't get any calls at all. Then again, "near" is a relative term. Atlanta, when viewed from the Moon, I'm practically in downtown. When viewed from Macon, nope, not even close. Macon is half way between here and Atlanta. :D

    ELD''s in cargo/sprinter vans

    You've got a wildly undefined "it" hanging out there. What does "it" mean? Does "it" mean HAZMAT full time, or does "it" mean driving a CMV full time, or does "it" mean perform work for compensation full time? It would take not merely a good lawyer, but rather the best lawyer ever. I've learned...
