    How does everyone else feel about this

    Obama is trying his best to destroy America, but I don't think one NUMB NUT can do it. As far as Swift paying 13 cents a mile, I didn't know they paid that well.:D

    How does everyone else feel about this

    Something a lot of truckers don't know is Shipper responsibility. If a shipper knowingly loads a truck that is illegal and dangerous to conduct operations they can be sued the same as the trucking company. That's why companies will not knowingly overload trucks anymore (unless their crazy)...

    How does everyone else feel about this

    water from the tail pipe

    This one I know. Your driving a Chevy. Believe it or not it's designed that way. I had an old 350 that rotted the exhaust out from the moisture. I wrote Chevy and they told me all their engines do that. The higher the concentration of moisture the better your engine was running. That...

    The Most Disturbing Personality on Cable Television

    This next election is going to be part of the "BIG BANG THEORY". The TV ads are going to be three times what the last one was. I'm sick of looking at the smug look. I used to watch the news a lot and I mean a lot and I had to stop or my BP was going through the roof. I would rather have...

    What can we do to make it easier for dispatchers?

    C/V's Dead?

    I did miss-quote. I meant to say people will be loosing more trucks. (Repo's). That's what I meant. I forgot what the number of small trucking company's that went out two years ago because of fuel prices but it was staggering.

    Switching horses

    I ran a class 8 "D" unit for years. I went out of the game for about a year with health issues and came back with a C/V. I am 63 and the cargo van is easier for me and lot less hassle. I cannot compare revenue because I don't stay gone like I used to but I have never gone without. Actually...
