This is one of the best 'don't judge a book by it's cover' performances I've found - especially because the singer is clearly enjoying it so much. Greg Pritchard - Britain's Got Talent - Show 5 - YouTube

I find a lot of them do - at least, I find them when I don't feel like dragging the printer out from under the bed, lol. A tip of the cap to Murray: I had no idea we could email stuff to them! Using the Drive Axle app, I may not even need a printer anymore. ;)

There are half a dozen Youtube vids like that, that I can watch a million times - it never gets old, seeing pure genius. I know nothing about intonation and phrasing, but I know a beautiful voice, and listening to one is a treat.

At yellow truck rates, the drivers can't afford to sleep. Ever. I stayed OOS today [yesterday, now] because the rain & strong wind gusts aren't something I want to drive through, much less keep jumping in & out of the truck. It's nice that we can afford to do that, every now & then. Just hoping...

The moral of Easytrader's explanation is: choose a carrier that understands that you are running a business, just like they are. Your business and theirs can be mutually profitable when you both make the effort to complement each other, rather than finding ways to undercut each other. If the...

That reminds me: how come I call the same dispatch number I always have, but get Truckload dispatchers instead? And while I'm on here bugging you, can you have the IT team maybe add another line to the load info, so it doesn't just cut off something that exceeds the character limit on the...

"No one can make you feel inferior without your permission." [Eleanor Roosevelt] Sometimes I feel like a complete idiot too, but then, some people make me feel like Einstein, so it all works out. We're all somewhere in between, and the really smart ones challenge me to learn more, so it's all...

I could be wrong, but I think what aj didn't know was the difference between the Soapbox & Loading Dock forums, and what's appropriate on each. BTW: Nonbelievers are rarely "new to all this" - they've generally done enough research/study to make a conscious decision on the matter, rather than...

Turtle: there's a few areas where your explanation/interpretation is quite different from what I've learned & observed, but I'd just like to address one [for now, lol]: the notion that giving people assistance makes them dependent upon the government, or serves as a disincentive to earn a...

I totally agree that sex offenders should not be allowed "unsupervised access to children" [just read about a martial arts instructor who was a pedophile!] because there is no way they can ever be 'reformed', as some criminals can. Still, when one can be designated a sex offender after urinating...

Just playing devil's advocate here: if your truck is paid a higher rate due to the qualifications/credentials you have obtained, will you be 'held' for loads that require those qualifications, while lesser paid trucks are dispatched on loads you also could have done? I have no evidence that...

I can't help with the crossdock issue, but if you need a tow truck.....1 mile from the shipper in Nashville, I blew an airline and had to call for the happy hooker to take me away. It was a good load, too, so when the other Load 1 truck drove past enroute to the shipper, I waved, but I didn't...

I'm not defending Obamacare, [I plan to continue paying cash as I go for medical expenses, as the fine is and will be for years, less expensive than the plans I've seen] but I understood the premise to be that enrolling younger and healthier people would drive costs down. If it does, that...

You notice: "the trucking industry" excludes those who drive the trucks!

It was a great story, except for the reward: the number 50 on his uniform patch, and "special markings on his truck". Woo hoo. An achievement of that caliber deserves more than the little bit UPS is splashing out on it. I know: safe & accident free driving is it's own reward, but c'mon, this is...

Hello, and welcome! Please take the time to read the Newbies FAQs, there's a lot there that you wouldn't even think to ask. Like the fact that if you drive a straight truck, the CDL is just the first thing - you'll need to deal with cargo securement, HOS rules, logging, credentials like Hazmat...

After the past few weeks, it's pretty obvy the TP doesn't 'tow [sic] the party line', lol. And please quit the snarky remarks like "misinformed liberal idea of who or what the Tea Party is" because I took the points directly from the TP's own website. Less government spending: check. Lower...

Dave, 'welfare' is administered by each state, according to their own rules [with some federal stipulations]. I don't believe the states just hand over money to anyone who asks, with no strings attached. I recall just last year, a woman killed herself and two children in the welfare office, when...
