Where's the outrage over the missing flag? There 3 flag holders on the wall and only 2 flags. Some stole the North Korean flag. Where's the outrage that all 3 flags, even the missing North Korean flag were made in China. Where's the outrage that school district is pushing for a $12 million...

Did anybody bother to look at the picture of the two flags? Click on the freaking picture to enlarge it! Obviously the staff on the American flag was broken, either accidentally or intentionally and replaced in the wall mount. Next time some :censoredsign: spay paints a swastika on a synagogue let's...

While First Class mail has taken a hit with the popularity of E-mail and on-line banking, etc, everything I have read about the USPS states that First Class mail subsidizes bulk rate mail. The Green Hornet's little yellow friend had this to say about First Class mail revenues: In 2009, USPS...

My drinking team has a bowling problem

The biggest problem with the USPS is their discount bulk mail rates and using profits from First Class mail to subsidize bulk mail. Either raise the bulk mail rates or sell off the bulk mail service.

I did the learn while you earn thing. I had a class B license and was looking for a summer job. Applied for a part-time on call dump truck driver. I got hired by a family owned trucking company that also did warehousing and was an agent for Allied Van Lines. The first day I got "loaned out"...

Below is an excerpt from a 2008 thread about a national truck strike. It has nothing to do with CDL training but it does mention Swift, Wal-Mart President Bush, a tire with wings and truck driving schools all in the same paragraph. Also it makes about as much sense as arguing the merits of...

If I had an air-ride truck and was in Texas I'd jump all over this load. Great Falls is a great place to layover and wait for another load. In just a mere few months skiing can be found within 100 miles. Check out Showdown, Great Divide, Bridger Bowl or Moonlight Basin. Until the snow flies...

Having reserve fund is a must! A truck breakdown can easily run into thousands of dollars just for the shop bill. Add to that wrecker fees and lost income from being down. Paying cash for a truck is great as long as you still have at least 3 months worth of living expenses in the bank. A...

Who is will?

This is the year for tropical storms to have feminine names. Currently tropical storm Lee is hitting the Gulf coast states.

Scotty: "Captain, I can't change the law of physics! I've got to have 30 minutes!"

Yeah, I forgot about that. I have a friend and her first name is Gale not Gail.

Excellent advice! Substitute the word truck for the word school and this same advice can be applied when considering a truck purchase from a carrier.

Yes she is! Have you heard from her lately? I had fun with you and Sir re-wiring the lights on your old truck. She had some good dirt on HighwayStar from the old days. As for Leeza, greetings double L! Don't forget Lee Remick.

It is ironic that a leader of an exclusive group like the Congressional Black Caucus would play the race card. If David Duke, founder of the National Association for the Advancement of White People said something similar he would most certainly be labeled a racist. Which he is and so is Andre...

Phil, it's called indentured servitude and was very popular during this country's colonial period. Indentured servitude is similar to slavery except it's spelled different.

My daughter used to live a half block west of the Kowalski's on Grand avenue. I'm delivering to a printing place just north of BIR on Tuesday. Beautiful Nisswa, MN. Also I attended a Range wedding in Biwabek, MN last weekend. I even danced with a chair. It's been years since I danced with a...

I didn't get up through Grand Marais this year, so no Sven and Ole's bumper sticker. I did get through Ely, MN and should have picked up a WELY bumper sticker. Charles Kuralt once owned this radio station. He's dead, so I don't know who owns it now. Certainly a way cool logo. I'll check...

Thanks for checking in Jim. Turtle moved on to Load One and PII hasn't been PII for a very long time. It is currently Panther Expedited Services. Say hi to Karin for me. I'm thinking of getting her some Twin Bings for her birthday next year. Does she like chocolate covered pig fetuses?
