Easy: contemplate your life without a paycheck. :o It kept me punching the time clock [even at 0430!] for 8 years, when I hated every single minute of it. And I'd still be there, if they hadn't closed the doors. A really bad day expediting still beats a really good day [snort] in the factory...

Wiper Weather: allows you to put in start & end points, get driving conditions along the route you intend to drive. Very helpful!

That has been a requirement for a very long time. In practice, it just doesn't work. First: there have to be jobs for them to do. Second: the single mothers need child care - or should they just leave kids home alone? Third: Many potential jobs are located in suburban 'industrial parks', but...

The flaw in that argument is that it's based on the premise that jobs which can support people are available, as was the case decades ago. [I used to be able to get jobs I wasn't really qualified for, because I learn quick - these days, I can't get jobs I am qualified for, because the...

When I started driving this truck, I asked the fleet owner to get an EZ Pass, because paying cash created some pretty scary moments for me: trying to 1: put the money away, 2: put the receipt away, 3: close the window to stop the rain/snow coming in, 4: check ahead to see which lane I should be...

Publix may be doing you a good service, but then again, they may not be - have you checked what the cost of both the original script & antibiotics would be elsewhere? It's probably less at Publix, but you can never be sure.... PS: If you wander around picking up a few groceries [not the free...

Underdog: I hope you find a way to take care of your family without having to leave them for extended periods, because expediting isn't your best option at this point in your life. Maybe you'll return to it some day - lots of others have. Right now, those 'babies' need you at home, so I think...

Who says they're not? It often takes a long time to investigate, getting enough documented info to make the charges stick, so it would be surprising to hear anything on that end very soon. The lawsuits, OTOH, have already begun. [And I hope they defendants have to pay through the...er, nose.]

I missed the part where they asked about it, I guess - and they never asked me when I crossed, in either direction. It reads as if they changed their mind once he said his parent was born in Canada, and that's what I don't get.

An interesting update on the traffic stop in Deming, NM, that resulted in a case of medical torture appears to place the blame on the narcotics dog [Leo] that 'alerted' officers to drugs. Which weren't found. In more than one case. 4 On Your Side reveals another traffic stop nightmare |...

If the solo driver is paying for fuel, he would [usually] get 60%. Following Turtle's 'rule of thirds', which is a pretty good ballpark estimate, the owner takes home 33%, the driver 33%, and fuel takes the last 33%. Which means your income is not so much tied to the percentage, as to your...

LR: it's really tough to be unable to communicate in the aftermath of a disaster, and few things are worse than not knowing. Please try to keep your thoughts in a positive channel, and know that many, many people are hoping & praying with and for you.

"No one is going to get away"? Sorry, but they do. Cases are thrown out by judges every day for lack of evidence, aided & abetted by 'good' attorneys who can spin a somewhat plausible reason for the refusal and/or the failed sobriety test. Sometimes, the attorney is even telling the truth...

I'd totally agree with the idea of not allowing voting if collecting government assistance - as long as it applies to every corporate entity and politician that claims government subsidies/benefits as well. ;)

I don't know about Allstate, but I do know you're "in good hands" with Shelly. [And her husband John, lol] We are lucky to have an agent who can make some sense out of the insurance industry for us, and takes the time to share it. Thanks, Shelly & John.

The 65% is the owner's cut [from what's billed to the customer]. If the owner has drivers doing the load, he gives them a percentage of that - either 40% [he buys fuel & keeps the fuel surcharge] or 60% [drivers pay for fuel & get the surcharge.] The system is largely based on trust: the owner...
