One of my major commitments has been to restore public faith in our Federal government by cutting out waste and inefficiency. In the past four years, we have made dramatic advances toward this goal, many of them previously considered impossible to achieve. Where government rules and operations were unnecessary, they have been eliminated, as with airline, rail, trucking and financial deregulation.
Just find out who owns this trucking outfit and who would gain if the projectiles failed." Tom was back in the cab in a flash. He started the mighty jets and began to engage the clutch. Cag leaped up. "You can't leave me here in the desert! I'll die." Tom looked at the man, threw out the rest of the food and water from the compartment, and gunned the huge truck down the highway.

Perhaps you think it is done off-hand. Well, it isn't. Ask any experienced draught-horse used to city trucking. He will tell you that wet cobble-stones, smoothed by much wear and greased with street slime, cannot be travelled heedlessly. Either the heel or the toe calks must find a crevice somewhere. If they do not, you are apt to go on your knees or slide on your haunches.

The place they live in was some sort of nun-shop long ago, as they have them still in Flanders; so folk call them the Vestals of Fairladies that may be, or may not be; and I care not whether it be or no. Blinkinsop, hold your tongue, and be d d! And so, betwixt great alms and good dinners, they are well thought of by rich and poor, and their trucking with Papists is looked over.
Go trucking; it'll give you a better chance of moving round; and good luck, my boy! But take a hint that's well meant: if the real thief is down there, see he plays no tricks on you. 'I've thought of that trust me. Harry Hardy's appearance below with the afternoon shift at the Stream occasioned a good deal of talk amongst the miners; but he heard none of it.
Its starting point is at West Norfolk, on the Elizabeth river, at the mouth of its western branch, the great trucking region of the State of Virginia which will supply it with thousands of dollars worth of freight annually.
