Sitting can be some of the most valuable and profitable time you spend in the business ... if you make it so. In the comments above, people talk about sitting as passing the time between loads. What might change in your life if you came to view sitting as self-improvement time? What if you set...

My concern is that Trump will.

Political rectitude is a two-way street. China does not appear to be particularly intimidated by Trump. How politically correct is it to steal a submarine, conduct live-fire military exercises in strategic waters for the first time in a very long time, publicly state that Trump is "as ignorant...

China steals a U.S. Navy drone submarine in international waters and Trump says they should keep it. I know Trump is a deal maker but this this kind of creates an incentive for more thefts, does it not? I have been searching the news sites since this "keep it" tweet was made to learn more about...

I think it would be wonderful if Trump made "some immediate changes to ObamaCare to make health care more affordable." If he did, the entire country would benefit and Trump's popularity would rise even among some of those who voted against him. The trouble is, there is no talk of doing that so...

Fair points. Because they are talking about future possibilities, Trump critics and Trump supporters are both limited to speculating about future outcomes. As I said above it will take time for a track record to develop. We could spill a lot of ink in this forum talking about what we think...

The first part of your statement is correct. I differ with the second part. Numerous presidents have been abandoned by their support bases throughout history but the impeachment tipping point for them was much further away. Trump did not enter Washington with a base of popular support developed...

I'm not going to parse every political nuance or debate the meaning of this word or that. My point is simple. A certain number of Iowa Trump supporters are counting on him to preserve the ethanol mandate. Political forces are in motion that will put that mandate up for debate sometime in the...

The reliability, interpretation and/or effect of Trump's word is easy to test with a specific example. From the Wall Street Journal: "During the GOP primary, Mr. Trump emphasized his support for the [ethanol] mandate in Iowa—the nation’s biggest corn-producing state and home to the first...

That probably happens with every newly-elected president as his staunchest foes engage in wishful thinking and process their emotions after their defeat. In the present case a fair amount of impeachment talk is out there. I think the volume of it is higher this year. Commentators of all stripes...

While it is certainly possible that the Trump supporters remain steadfastly behind him in large numbers, my expectation is otherwise. Time will tell.

It would have been more accurate to say that Trump's political incorrectness and the large, groundswell response to it, helped me see more clearly how oppressive certain players can be by making this, that or the other thing politically correct. Political rectitude may be a tool used by some to...

Regarding you and me describing Trump supporters, notice how you paint them with a broad brush while I talk about a specific number drifting away. Groups are composed of individuals and individuals change their minds and behaviors. While it can be said that all Trump supporters voted for Trump...

It is Trump's political incorrectness I was referring to. Once new, it's not new any more. That is a loss of novelty. That may be true today but when Trump first started in about the wall, he was pushed to define his meaning. More than once, I saw footage of him specifically spelling it out...

Moot, Trump freed me from political correctness. I did not realize how cowed I had become to speaking as the elites would have me speak until I saw Trump not do it. The most striking similarity for me is how the upstart candidate's opponents underestimated him. They did not believe that...

Hillary's strategy blunders definitely played a role. The biggest one was not coming clean when the email scandal first broke. She should have fessed up and turned the entire server over to the investigators. That would have made for some uncomfortable months but that would have been far less...

In fairness to the generals, the politicians and Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, it should be noted that troops don't mass any more because when they do, they can be taken out by an Air Force Airman sitting in an air conditioned building in Nevada. Enemy behavior and battlefield tactics ain't...

So, to sum up DaveKC and Turtle (fairly, I hope), Trump defeated all other Republican candidates in the primaries because: 1. Trump freed people from political rectitude (political correctness). 2. People wanted change. 3. People were angry and Trump provided a way to express it. 4. Trump...

Fair point. His victory over Hillary can be explained away by the fact that she herself was a massively encumbered candidate. Trump's victory over numerous other Republicans in the primaries, many of them with years of experience and polished political talent, is harder to dismiss as a fluke or...

In a business where you are a self-employed contractor providing services to a carrier and/or customers, it's not about team. It's about being really good at what you do so your will succeed in your business while serving your carrier and customers well. As an expediter, your colleagues are also...
