    Job listings in Chattanooga , tn.

    There is no question that natural gas will go up if it becomes the only supply. Higher than coal? It depends on many things as to how fast and to what price. It would be cleaner if that is the argument. Again, the little guy is the one that will be impacted the most. That is why the "lets grow...

    Job listings in Chattanooga , tn.

    I will throw a couple of things out there. Cheri has some good points but getting to the solutions are the problems. We are currently borrowing to keep the entitlement programs afloat. We have no money except what we print which makes the poor even poorer. We have thrown billions at it and the...

    Job listings in Chattanooga , tn.

    Your exactly right. Many of those jobs are under the table (my support for a flat/consumption tax and no IRS). Basically a whole untapped second economy. But that aside, I just can't go along with supporting people forever. And in Cheri's example, that is essentially what we are talking about...

    Trucking's Operational Costs Continue to Rise

    Many areas on the east coast require tows only from certain tow operators. Since the tow companies know that, they charge outrageous fees. You just can't call a qualified tow company, it must be one licensed and permitted for that tow.

    Trucking's Operational Costs Continue to Rise

    I would tend agree. Even more so when looking at our fleet. The majority are all former truck owners. The upside is they have a very good working knowledge of what the operating costs are. Makes my job so much easier.:)

    Job listings in Chattanooga , tn.

    Just to touch on a couple of things. They did go back and most had every reason under the sun. But having kids was high on the womens list. Some could have been part-time jobs but some of them clearly were not. Maybe someone has to work two jobs or two part-time jobs to get something going...

    Job listings in Chattanooga , tn.

    I believe some have found the drug trade quite lucrative but not quite so sustaining. :eek: I do believe the opportunities are out there but people don't capitalize on them. Case in point. Seen a Stossel show outside NYC unemployment office where one after the other professed "there are no...

    Trucking's Operational Costs Continue to Rise

    Yes....we all know that however based on the current rates of some carriers, they are pretending those increases don't exit. I will say, even taking wages and fuel costs out of it, regulations, higher truck prices and maintenance costs are steadily climbing.

    Interested in really making a difference this election cycle?

    I don't see a personal attack here. One may question your beliefs, but one must also be open to that in a public forum. You have to remember, you injected God into your responses. That is ok. But that is much different than whether someone agrees with it or not. Just calling it like I see it...

    The combo of love. Religion and politics.

    Job listings in Chattanooga , tn.

    In todays environment you have to search for a need and create your own job/opportunity. As we say waiting on someone else might translate in to a long wait.

    Egypt tell US off.

    That is the right answer. No more aid. It really is that simple. Oh.....and fire Hillary. What a joke. She just looks tiiiiired.

    Soapbox Sticky

    That is the value of this type of forum. If something is put up in error or isn't factual, it usually gets called on. That is a good thing in my opinion.

    Jim - Tim - Frank - Ever Heard Of These Guys?

    No...the hard reality is many prefer a socialist state. That is why the polls show what they do. You have a total failure in the White House yet you have droves defending him because he has more to give as soon as he gets it from the ones who are paying the Federal income tax.

    Jim - Tim - Frank - Ever Heard Of These Guys?

    I would want to agree until I look at what the electorate is comprised of. One could have a Chris Christie type of candidate but the minute you say you are going to cut something, all bets are off. You have now 50 percent of the population getting some kind of assistance. The message is where...

    Jim - Tim - Frank - Ever Heard Of These Guys?

    The ones not voting very well be the ones who are on the take. Again...very delicate balance.

    Jim - Tim - Frank - Ever Heard Of These Guys?

    And there lies the problem. Romney or anyone else is walking a tightrope. You just can't say the facts like you could in the Reagan era. Why? Too many on the take now. Look at the response just from his 47 percent comment. Granted it wasn't a accurate number, but that isn't the backlash. The...

    Jim - Tim - Frank - Ever Heard Of These Guys?

    Probably true. That is Romney's or any candidate for that matter that has a uphill climb. Doesn't matter really who the candidate is as it is more the philosophy. Unless you are giving stuff out and not cutting anything, it is a tough road.
