RE: How to quiet cranky auto plant receiving ROFL! A woman really does seem to get better results. Even better if she's wearing anything Harley! We quickly learned that if I went in and hubby stayed in the truck we got unloaded much faster. Bring a 2-way radio and he can get it backed in while...

Not offended at all! It was quite funny, and we all certainly need a laugh nowadays. Drive Happy, Chris ~~~~~~~~You can't get Anthrax opening e-mail~~~~~~~~~}>

Depends on what you mean by "hard of hearing". I don't hear very well, but don't require a hearing aid yet. I consider it a blessing as I don't have all that extra noise to listen to! I had an external speaker for my CB close to my best ear. As an advantage, if you say "Excuse me, but I don't...

I have tried to get Mulder and Scully interested in this phenomenon, but Agent Daggett won't let them investigate. Looks like we'll have to wait until the aliens start taking freight with them also. Drive Happy! Chris

Driving for an owner is a good idea, but you're not going to get rich. Depending on how often you need to be home, and what expenses you have there, you may or may not be able to keep afloat. Only you can decide if it's worth the risk. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Are you chewing belts? Are your batteries connected properly? If one of them is isolated, it may not be wired right. It's frustrating when you have a problem that won't make an appearance around a mechanic! Keep track of the times you bring it in. If it leaves you stranded, you can argue with...

Thank you for taking the time to appreciate us and learn what life on the road is really like. If more dispatchers did ride-alongs, we may all get along better. When we call in and snap at you, please remember that we may have just sat all day and gotten offered a 50 mile load, or can't find the...

Why is it that people can manage to carry on a conversation with another person in the vehicle without being distracted from the road, but if they have a phone to their ear they forget what they're doing? Perhaps cellular signals jumble our brains so we can't drive straight?

Very good advice Jeff!

Freaky!

Michael, Sorry to hear you didn't make it in the expediting business. I wish you had kept in touch while you were on the road. I'm not sure who led you to believe that NYC is the hottest express center, but they were wrong! Detroit and Chicago hold that honor. NYC loads may pay better, but...

If you're seriously interested in a satellite, contact me. i have a crank up satellite dish and box that I'd be willing to sell.

StarBand has 2 way satellite internet now. Not sure if it could be used as a mobile application, but you never know. It says all you need is a view of the south sky. It can be used jointly with DISH Network too.Drive Happy, Chris http://www.starband.com/

If your truck is still under warranty, have a shop do it. Check truck stops prices. We've had our adjusted for much less than $50! Drive Happy, Chris

PLEASE tell me it wasn't another Simon truck!

Michael, Apparently I need to start using LittleBigTruck over on Joe's forum too! I hadn't been there in a while and just discovered everyone has been defending "Chris". I appreciate it, but it wasn't me! My e-mail address is [email protected]. Drive Happy, Chris

Lawrence swelled my head so much that I just had to do it! And just where are you? I see you have time to post but no time to e-mail me! Shame on you. Drive Happy, Chris

Each person should have their accountant work it out both ways to see which is more beneficial. I have always used actual with my D unit, but used mileage for the van.

Wow George! Nice truck! The old FL finally bit the dust huh? Guess you'll be in expediting a few more years to pay for this one! Does Curious George still ride shotgun? Drive Happy! Chris
