    Cowthief, that means you did pass J.B. Hunt's backing-up class.
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Rudy's given up on the Blackhawk and gone over to a Bell Model 47.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Is JB Hunt like the scourge of the trucking industry or something? There's a truck stop not far from me that I used to buy gas from because it was cheap. They always had a sign on the door telling JB Hunt drivers they were not welcome.

    Hunt has the highest driver turnover in the industry because they have a reputation for treating their drivers like shit. As a result, they'll hire anyone and end up with the dregs of the driver pool, the drivers who can't get a job anywhere else. Think about what your average truck driver is like, then think about what the dregs of that...community must be like and you'll get an idea of who drives for Hunt.

    Wow. Sincerely, I never would have expected to hear that about J.B. Hunt. When I'm on the highway, it's those trucks that always seem to be the most courteous and safest drivers. They never try to pass another truck on an upgrade (meaning that they won't pass and will block the road), they never seem to be in an inordinately long convoy, they always signal appropriately, and don't even seem to tailgate inappropriately. I've also heard this from at least one other source. Again....WOW...THAT's who those guys are? Well, maybe, but still...I'd much rather be on a highway filled with J.B. Hunt trucks that any other.
    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
