    Cargo vans again !

    Hobby vanners with separate income streams are one of the reasons freight rates are depressed. If you run freight for reduced rates because you don't need much of an income, you're going to be hurting everyone around you. In a van, you're going to sit a lot. In the busier season, maybe you get...

    Trucking for 8 years want to start my own business.

    Oooooooh...some big problems here. Someone else will come along and address the business plan-SBA loan aspect, I'm sure, but the fact that you live near Seattle is a huge problem. I always liked to go to Seattle when I was in a big truck. It's pleasant out there, it's an area outside of the...

    Recruiter's Knowledge

    When I was driving school, 1 of my fellow students look like a homeless guy. He didn't seem very smart, and I was surprised that he was approved for the loan for the tuition. Our class graduated in october. We were all leery about the approaching winter, of course. Just before graduation, he...

    Looking for company that allows dogs

    How about where the Bill of Rights does, you know, how it says that we are to be secure in our persons, papers, and effects... How about we get the gummint off our backs and go back to us telling them what they may have rather than the reverse? -- You know the problem with bad cops? They...

    Looking for company that allows dogs

    That's true. If it's cold and wet out, where do you think she wants to go immediately when we get back in? When it's dry, she sits on the seat and I have to tell her to move so I can get in. If she's wet, she jumps right on my bed. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5%...

    Recruiter's Knowledge

    Some of it has to do with which way the pendulum is swinging and how far. Right now, there are lots of people wanting few positions, so the recruiters feel they don't need to do much to full slots. It's kind of like an expediter cherry-picking; when there's another load right coming down the...

    Ohio State Police withholding Michigan CDL.

    Well, let's see...in my life, I've had 3 speeding tickets, 2 of them when I was a kid. The most recent was 1991. Beyond that, I got a ticket for a right turn on red, didn't see the sign. That was about 87 or 88. All of my few interactions with cops in which I've been close to being "on the wrong...

    Ohio State Police withholding Michigan CDL.

    That's where you're wrong. They recruit and train for sociopathy. A non-sociopath may slip through the cracks now and then, you know, someone reasonable and decent, but they do a pretty good job of letting only the right people (read that: the wrong people) become cops. It's the 98% that give...

    Ohio State Police withholding Michigan CDL.

    If your wife is one of the few remaining "good guys," I'm glad to hear it. Maybe the fact that she's been a cop for 25 years increases the odds that she's really one of the good guys...assuming she is.

    Ohio State Police withholding Michigan CDL.

    As Doug Stanhope says, "...With liberty and justice for all...Must be 18, void where prohibited, some restrictions may apply, not available in all states." This is just another example of what I've been saying, that cops (with some exceptions) are the bad guys now, no better than the Crips or...

    Wait, I have to sit for a minute and digest all that. How many sentences was that? That's a bit tough to read.
