I am attempting to defend the attack on Remus. Why are my posts locked out?

T-Hawk... When one goes on line and proceeds to mock, ridicule and taunt another person, serious consequences can follow. That some mods engaged in just this behavior towards "Remus" is beyond dispute. If the taunted person who has been publicly shamed and/or humiliated should in a moment of...

WOW! Did I just witness "Remus" get a public stoning from our moderators? Heaping ridicule on the poor fella brings dishonor on the stone throwers. I don't know the full history of his supposed offenses or transgressions, but please, a return to civility is in order. If we are expected to follow...

I am in agreement with Turtle for all the reasons he stated.

RE: how can i get my B cdl without going to a truc Here in Kentucky there is a roundabout way of getting a class "B" CDL w/o paying a truckdriving school. nearly all the local boards of education seek applicants to train for driving school buses. They will train for free, and those who...

RE: how to make inputs Cheri... Touche! Priorities are everything in business and life. If P2 wanted better driver retention it would happen quickly.

Is that suggested repositioning or an empty move or deadheading or just smart trucking?

RE: Panther's Macro#8 should be given a humane dea Leo... respectfully I submit to you Mac 8 is a source of misinformation. Whose interests are served by that? My frustration with this issue is high but my expectation of change is low. Many times I have raised it with P2 only to be ignored...

RE: Panther's Macro#8 should be given a humane dea Leo... I'm not drinking the Panther Kool-Aid. Macro#8 is beyond tweaking or calibrating. What is this blind allegiance to a machine?

RE: Panther's Macro#8 should be given a humane dea Computers can't possibly "know" the minds or intentions of 1500 drivers. Truck operators are human beings making human decisions. Macro#8 is merely an extension of the programmer who designed it. Obviously, some higher-ups have a lot of...

Let me preface this post by stating it is written w/o malice but is intended to shed light on an already glaring problem:macro#8. This macro born out of good intentions has morphed into a devilish mishmash of misinformation. Obviously, it is a pet peeve with me. I can't begin to imagine how...

RE: how to make inputs Let us see the same screens the dispatchers see in real time? That would start a riot.

Poison... I only have my own experience to go on. For the past seven years I have been buying diesel at Wal Mart(Murphy USA) because it is cheaper than nearly all others. Never had a single problem with the quality of their fuel. Never. Not one problem. My Diesel van runs beautifully w/Wal Mart...

OnMyWay... If you feel ready to enter expediting try the shallow end of the pool first, not the deep end. By that I mean start out with a good used truck or van. One that is relatively inexpensive. Keep most of your money in reserve for lean times. I admire your entrepreneurial spirit at such a...

Who's a neocon?? As a product of hardscrabble Appalachia, I am of the wrong cultural heritage to fit that ideaology. I am Old School Conservative. Neoconservatism is a fad that will pass soon enough. True conservatism has been hijacked by the neocons and I must say Geo. W. Bush has been a huge...

TallCal... I think you must be confused. The Democratic Party embraces sexual deviancy. They own it(or rather, the deviants own the Democrats). Most galling, the Democrats are proud to fill their ranks with miscreants. Is there corruption on both sides? You bet. One huge difference is the GOP...

Yes, I am making a deliberate effort to drive a little slower. Perhaps 62mph-65 mph on the interstate. Also, I buy discounted diesel at the Wal Mart in my hometown..The wal mart shopping card gives a 7 cent per gallon discount. This morning I bought diesel for $2.98 per gallon and considered...

Greg... I am thinking of an association along the lines of OOIDA. But it would be an OOIDA on steroids, with fangs, that would serve to counterbalance excesses in our industry today. OOIDA is perfectly poised to be just that organization. But they play small ball. No offense to OOIDA members...

Kangaroo... how can they survive at those rates?

The American middle class/working class is in dire need of real leadership on economic and political grievances. One man in Poland, Lech Walesa, an electrician and leader of the Solidarity movement, stood down the Polish oligarchy and the entire Soviet system unraveled. He was a phenomenal...
