Ditto for making the CSA penalty points retroactive when they rolled it out. The problem is that the feds are deluged with problem agencies much bigger than FMCSA - we're just little fish.

After learning how the insurance industry acts behind the smokescreens of their PR spun announcements, I don't believe their explanations or statistics, either. [I'm referring to their rate wars to capture the bottom of the barrel medical practitioners after everryone else was taken, followed...

Star, I disagree that the mandatory break is a minor issue, because it reduces the flexibility drivers need to take a break when circs warrant, not the clock, and the penalty for missing it [because there's no safe legal place to park] is just ludicrous. It seems minor, until you have to choose...

Lots of people agree with that, including me. Marie Gandron has been fired, and a petition to restore the library worker's job has garnered a LOT of signatures - and quite a few are liberals. Because the library is a favorite place of theirs/ours. It's just sad that the conservative Republicans...

This is hilarious: the whole structure of insurance is based on redistribution, and almost no one gets out of it what they've paid into it. I don't even want to know how much I've paid into workers' comp over the years, that someone else is getting the benefit of, because I've been fortunate...

"Rationalize his behavior"? "There is no stigma to being a scumbag or a homicidal maniac anymore"? Where ARE you reading such tripe?! I'd agree that the mainstream media contributes to the problem by giving the killers the attention they want, but when anyone complains they [the corporate...

Of all your photos [and we're talkin National Geographic quality shots], I think this is my favorite, lol. Nice ride - but you & Cyn deserve it, that's what hard work is all about. PS Tell Los the 'dipwad' is at the other end of the rod! :rolleyes:

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Pink isn't offered with a pocket because when it comes to clothing, things are weird for no good reason: men wear ties, and women wear clothing that buttons up the back. I was just surprised, because all the...

If people can advise their doctor as to what medication they believe is appropriate [after watching a commercial or 15] and walk out with a prescription for it, then why do we need the doctors? Seriously: it's doctors who have some answering to do for the prescribing of medication. [That goes...

O - you thought I could [and would] drive 18 hrs direct for $1000? Not in this lifetime! As one of my fellow drivers said: I could be a hooker, but never a lot lizard. [Or something like that] ;) I've become quite a fan of the 'drive less, make more' philosophy, finding it much better for the...

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Ooooh, Xiggi's got deep pockets, lol. Guess I better get some, maybe then the phone won't feel too big to put in my pocket. Or else I'll just wear a hoodie all the time - that'd work too. Except tomorrow...

I can understand why it's the least expensive: you're funding it with your own money. Which makes it a good option for those who have enough money to put chunks aside [like savings], but for those who don't, [which is a huge part of the populace], not so much. What was the objection to the plan?

Which law was that?:confused:

Being caught up in a disaster is usually nonforeseeable, but being trapped without adequate provisions & supplies is your own fault. It could happen to any of us, anytime, and it's smart to be prepared. I spent two and a half days stuck in Va a few years ago, when a blizzard shut 81 down...

Re: Drivers Protest November or October 11,2013 I expected them to be angry about HOS. FMCSA, CSA, the whole alphabet soup of horrors, but they want to impeach Obama, and remove Muslims "who don't uphold the Constitution" from office, and hold another hearing on Benghazi - WTH? Those aren't...

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y I just discovered that the pink Load1 shirts don't have pockets - is that a gender thing, or what? Cause I need pockets for the mp3 player! Related: where do you guys keep your smartphones? They're too big to...

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y It probably made no difference, as Dispatch has to call the customer and sometimes, they don't call back in any big hurry. When I picked up at O'Hare [Fri], I waited an hour for the customer to provide the...

I almost put that link on here, too - loved it! [And I didn't know one can use a cellphone to unobtrusively record "for hours", either]. So many great dogs, and so many awful people, too. If that sitter had children of her own, would they be better off with her parenting them? I think not - it's...

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y We do have someone 24/7, but I think there could be times when there's maybe just one or two, and you might have called when there was no one there for about 5 minutes. I know there was someone there...

Maybe I should have specified that Community and Tim Horton's make my cream & sugar taste best, lol. Maxwell House makes them taste like sludge. From a sewer. In Pakistan, I think.
