    We have no privacy and it is getting worse

    If you find the facial recognition technology disconcerting, you're really not going to like RFIDs. Radio Frequency ID tags are implanted in a wide range of vehicles and consumer goods, [also pets and products for transport] so their location can be tracked by readers. Many tags contain much...

    Advise on Cargo Van "vs" Staright Truck?

    If passengers are a priority, don't forget to ask recruiters about the carrier's policy, because it varies.

    Advise on Cargo Van "vs" Staright Truck?

    It depends on your need for income and tolerance for aggravation [for lack of a batter word]. As the vehicle size increases, so does the income - but so does the aggravation. You have the most freedom in a van/Sprinter, but the lowest income. [Generally speaking - a Sprinter driven by a...

    Carlin

    Carlin could certainly be rude, and profane, but he could never be mistaken for a fool, and I adored him. :(

    Boycott the NFL

    Coming from an adult, that's just - um - uh - bizarre, ok?

    What Is Your Favorite Christmas Tune?

    There must be a brazillion versions of this song, but I like this one best: Brian Setzer Orchestra Baby Its Cold Outside - YouTube Brian Setzer [of the Stray Cats] and Ann Margaret. I also LOVE "The Little Drummer Boy" sung by Bob Seger - it will give you chills!

    Boycott the NFL

    When you state "I'm bored", you made it personal, and I responded to that comment. Now you don't want it to be about you?

    Boycott the NFL

    When a drunk acts obnoxious, or gets behind the wheel, it is all the same.

    Boycott the NFL

    Then you should start threads for that, instead of hijacking the ones you're not interested in. Because the people who were discussing something don't appreciate the takeover when they have something that's actually relevant to add, but it's no longer close to where it would make sense. Because...

    November Locations - What's your 20?

    They don't advertise it, but McDonalds sells bags of ice for a buck. Even the drive thru, lol. :)

    Non CDL Truck Question

    We used to do 'donuts' in snowy parking lots for practice, [and in the middle of intersections for laughs], but I can't imagine doing it in a T/T! A S/T, maybe.....

    Non CDL Truck Question

    Cost? What would it cost if a truck [or van!] lost control and crashed into a school bus [full of orphans going to serve dinner to the homeless]?

    CPR training.

    Never in a brazillion years would I have thought that disco music [gag me] could save a life, but I'm convinced now. Good one! :o

    Non CDL Truck Question

    The NSC 'training courses' are simply vids & PowerPoint presentations, [maybe workbooks with tests, too], but they don't offer 'hands on' training or practice. When I first took Drivers Ed in high School [for you youngsters: it once was a part of the curriculum!] we had simulators that allowed...

    Thanksgiving

    That'd be my suggestion. The best way to do any job without killing [or even straining] yourself is in a supervisory capacity. [Adult beverage optional] ;) PS Moot, please tell Mrs Moot that color rocks!

    "The Lord of loads"? OVM, you'll live down those shorts before you hear the end of this one, I bet. :p

    Boycott the NFL

    Ok, twice I fixed the transposition of "distilled spirits and flavored malt beverages are not as bad as beer" , and it still reads wrong. Sorry, I meant it the other way round: "beer is not as bad as distilled spirits etc". Apparently, Bailey's is pretty bad, too....;)

    Boycott the NFL

    You're splitting hairs [as is the NFL]: violence is violence, and "excessive" is in the eye of the beholder. When high school kids are getting brain injuries playing football, it seems excessive could certainly apply to the pros. Some of those tackles are literally bone breaking. And the...
