    EOBR and HOS

    If carrier safety departments would do their job and properly monitor logs violations would be greatly reduced and there would be no need for EOBR's . Some carriers do their own self audits using the same methods FMCSA auditors use . Not only drivers but dispatchers should be suspended when...

    Being Audited from IRS

    I have to disagree here . If she itemized how can you say he would HAVE to itemize ? If he didn't keep records he'd take the standard deduction . I know this because I was separated from my wife in '91 but still married . I had the mortgage , kids , property taxes , and all deductions . I...

    Federal Trucking Bailout

    I'd put a limit on exporting things like corn and coal . They say food prices are going up because of corn used in ethanol . Remember how low corn prices were after Katrina when corn couldn't be exported out of New Orleans ? Kentucky is exporting coal to China . Why assist their...

    How many are Pro-War?

    Greg , I don't think complaining takes away from the sacrifices . The right to speak shows the sacrifices are working . I'm a Viet Vet and saw the sacrifices firsthand . I may not like what some people say or agree with what they say but to deny them the right to say it would make the sacrifices...

    Who would make the best Commander In Chief ?

    We have never been able to fill Ike's shoes , have we ? JFK was suitable as a leader but he was the one that got us involved in Viet Nam .

    Who would make the best Commander In Chief ?

    We really know the answer and it's surely not Hillary or Obama . http://www.everettgroup.com/Commander-in-Chief_Preference.pdf I'm actually surprised such a high percentage of Democrats chose Clinton or Obama . What are their qualifications for military leadership ? I think this should be the...

    Nascar...

    JR. left DEI because he wanted partial ownership . I think if Dale Sr. thought Jr. should have had ownership he would have willed it to him . Jr. would have potential if he was more cool headed . He is especially scatter brained toward the end of a race .

    The Pig Book

    FEMA started selling the trailers but misused the proceeds from the sales . Review of FEMA's Use of Proceeds From the Sales of Emergency Housing Units, OIG-08-23 Sales have been suspended due to the formaldehyde issue . The FEMA spec trailers aren't worth much . They were built cheaply and...

    The Pig Book

    I know much of the blame for what happened in New Orleans was the fault of city and state governments but the Federal government was responsible for the waste . Shipping ice to Maine for cold storage ? Why not return it to the vendor for resale ? The thousands of trailers were bought and shipped...

    How many are Pro-War?

    Turtle , the Cambodians are not Vietnamese and we supposedly never supposed to cross into the Cambodian border . We did though in one of the few sensible things we did in Viet Nam . One more thing about Iraq . How can we ever expect them to defend themselves after the cowardly performance of...

    How many are Pro-War?

    Why did the U.S. need a military presence there ? Desert Storm was justified and done right . Being in Afghanistan has been justified . The reasons for going into Iraq are debatable . And Turtle , anyone that was in Viet Nam saw what was going on and knew all we were doing was buying time ...

    The Pig Book

    I registered . But my voting is already determined . I voted for Bush while cursing the Democrats for not having a better candidate than Kerry . For the last 4 years I've been hearing about it from my wife , a loyal Democrat that voted for Nader . This current adminstration has really shafted...

    How many are Pro-War?

    Yes , those serving deserve thanks or respect . The problem is our freedom has already been bought and the price paid for it . There should be more Iraqi patriots shedding the blood for their freedom . It is not a war in Iraq . It is a civil conflict amongst Iraqis and will continue for years ...

    Let The Games Begin

    I think of those trucks when I hear Joan Claybrook saying today's drivers have to drive "11 exhausting hours a day " . As a matter of fact her quoted complaint about the interim HOS rules was the rule "allows drivers to drive 11 exhausting hours 7 days in a row , take a short 34 hour break ...
