Just stating the obvious: aren't all Sprinters overpriced?

According to one reputable magazine, namely The National Enquirer, police are investigating allegations that at least two more massage therapists were stiffed by the Honorable Al Gore. I suppose this has nothing to do with Tipper's recent decision to shed herself of The Stiff One.

That's why you're still in the biz.

I was speaking of the average Joe Trucker who enters the business misunderstanding the hyper-competitive nature of what we do.

There is perception, then there is reality. It is a fact that bloated fleet counts diminsh opportunity for owner-operators.

The chances of a constitutional convention happening, or being allowed to happen, are nil.

Remember when pulling into just about any Flying J meant there would be several expedite trucks and vans coming and going in the course of a day? The attrition in this industry has been such that nowadays I don't see nearly the numbers that once existed. Used to be the case, on any given day...

Having worked with larger and small carriers, my experience has been that smaller is so much better. Headaches go down, revenue goes up.

The several states when ceding more and more power to an all-consuming federal government never envisioned what a monstrosity the Feds would become. There is no legal recourse. Like joining the Mob, there is no leaving. This Union is held together by threat of force. Let any state actually...

Oh, yes. Grant, in particular, was and is terribly under-rated by historians. If one puts aside Grant's penchant for cronyism, what this ordinary man accomplished as a warrior and president is pretty amazing. His humble demeanor masked a fierce tenacity. Where others faltered, Grant could...

I am at home today with a load on my van which delivers in McAllen,TX on Monday morning. So, yes I will be working on the Fourth of July as I will begin the trek south around midnight, tonight. My wife and I have decided to take a low-key approach to July 4th this year. We normally have a...

Gee, Bruno. Panther has 1500+ trucks while Bolt has maybe 100. Wonder which carrier will get the most votes? I have worked for both and Bolt wins hands down for my preferred style of expediting.

Liberals and conservatives cannot even agree on what the Constitution means pertaining to many, many issues. That's why we see 5-4 split decisions on the Supreme Court. You can read the Constitution yourself and arrive at your own conclusions. Yet, on a legal basis, the US Constitution means...

At the time the Constitution was ratified social issues such as abortion and marriage between homosexuals were not anticipated.

Obama's whole presidency is premised on lies. Such as the lie about his being smart, competent and well qualified to manage anything more significant than a fast food joint. Barack Obama was and is a media creation. No substance and not much style. Luckily, the USA enjoys Divine protection...

Highway Star... your luck with alignments have been better than mine. My 1998 E350 seemed difficult to maintain with regard to alignment. My 2001 was somewhat better and the 2003's are better yet. Perhaps I need to take my trucks to a different shop and hope for improved results. Typically...

Hey Guido... I think you and I drive the same model of Ford van. 2003 E350 with 7.3 Powerstroke engine. The 7.3L is a very large and heavy engine. This heavy engine exerts too much stress on front-end components such as suspension and affects tire wear. Having owned four of these 7.3L vans...

Greg, I see this differently. After being publicly upbraided by Obama, the general will almost certainly retire from military service very soon. Obama chose to publicly humiliate McChrystal in the most public way possible. As a matter of principle, McC will go away quietly. Our thin-skinned...

NYC Mayor Bloomberg has attached himself to so many socially liberal ideas that no one who follows politics would consider him remotely conservative. To be somewhat fiscally conservative while at the same time being a social liberal means one isn't truly conservative at all. Real conservatives...

Here's a question: would you rather make $80000 in a cargo van as an owner-operator or make $160000 in a tractor?
