+1 I would much rather deal with crazies and criminals as citizens than have them lord over me ( or "protect" me) as rulers.
Sounds spiffy on the surface. But, who decides the psychological standards? Further, if one is found unworthy of gun possession, why should we...
Surely, this must be toungue-in-cheek. I can't fathom that one would rely on the police for protection, especially after the Supreme Court has...
This must be for daycab driving. I wonder about weight restrictions, though. More cargo means more weight. I also wonder if they will redesign...
I got stuck out in Kansas last week. Now, I'm stuck in the snow in Iowa... just like I was LAST time I was in Iowa, a few weeks ago. Oh well....
Are there any trucking companies that have a "train your partner" program, allows pets, and allows riders? I can't seem to find all 3 at the same...
One of my CDL instructers was really impressed by Stevens. He said that it was the best company that he's ever worked for. I've got a couple of...
I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. The laptop (being old) didn't like the Unity desktop on 12.10 (though, it was fine with Unity in 12.04),...
Yup, dial-up is slow. And, yep, pointed out the long distance thing. I'm just trying to turn folks on to some free internet; but, it is free,...
I haven't used this service in a while; I haven't needed it. But, those of y'all that just want to check email or Facebook, or do some light...
Man, I am ridiculously uncoordinated. Learning to shift has been more difficult for me than it is to most, but I'm starting to get it. It's just...
Here in VA, the DMV tester won't allow skipping gears on a down shift. For some reason, though, it's acceptable when upshifting. Clutching is...
OP, I'm in CDL training, myself. I'm finding that the shifting is difficult, as I'm not that coordinated, but I am improving with practice. I'm...
That ship was for sale, about a year ago. I was trying to round up some investors; shame that she has been sunk.
Some of the most successful people in the world were rejected in their field before they were accepted. I don't point this out to suggest that...
OP, I wouldn't worry too much about it. My GF hasn't had any issues, and she's pulled reefer, dry van, and flatbed. I've met some of her...
I hear tell that Abilene trucks are all automatic. Any truth to that? I also hear that they are starting to look for drivers straight out of school.
@AfterShock- That remark on bovine excrement nearly caused the inside of my house to be covered in a fine misting of beer, lol. Thanks for the...
Oh, good. Glad to hear that all is well.
I hope everything's ok. My girl is close to Burns Harbor; she's hangin' around, waiting on a load of dispatcher brains to go to Wisconsin to swap...
