    Where to park

    I bet that lead driver would really have a stroke if dancorn pulled into a campground like some expediters have been known to do . OTR truckers really appreciate seeing expedite trucks parked at places other than truck stops . Expediters have just as much right as everyone else to a parking...

    obummer tries to kill NASCAR

    How much manufacturer support are teams other than Toyota teams getting anyway ? Just as customers we don't like where a lot of the money goes . Look at the over 700,000 people that boycotted Ford for contributing to gays .

    3 Months done, 7.75 years to go!

    I agree with the brains statement . LDB said voters use their brains . With the people that voted for Obama it's not likely more than one had a brain . North Korea doesn't give Obama's threats much credibility , do they ? Even Somali pirates dismissed his threats and increased highjackings .

    There was a driver on another forum that claimed he worked for a Panther fleet owner . He said the truck got $1.30 a mile and he got $.24 a mile and had to pay Qualcomm and insurance out of that . The response was he never should have agreed to that contract .
