To The North Side! Moving day is TOMORROW! Goodbye, huge townhouse; Goodbye, unbelievable humidity; Goodbye (sob), cable modem (sniff, snuff). Hello, new apartment; Hello, capital of Texas; Hello, good paying bus driving job! i won't be logging on for a couple of days ~ don't have too much...

Amen, and Amen, Lawrence! One of the ways each of us can help would be to give blood ~ i understand that O- (O negative) is the universal type, because it can be given to anyone, but all of us could give plasma. Also, i know most of us don't have much "extra" cash just lying about, but...

Holy Mackerel! Kevin just reminded me that i have never changed my profile to include my NEW email addy! It's been updated, now ~ sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused! And if i haven't answered any emails in the past month or so, that's why! LOL The Queen of the Dufi (plural for...

Hey!!! WHOA, NellyBelle! A) It's NOT a School Bus ~ it's a City Bus! OLDER talking freight! LOL and B) i wasn't going to just up and LEAVE this forum! i was thinking that now that we're getting settled, i would have plenty of time to moderate, but i can very well understand that Lawrence...

Well, we did it ~ left trucking, and came in off the road to have a normal life. Our owner let the truck we were in go back, so we decided to give this a try. i am now a city bus driver, and Kevin is looking to get into driving a bus, also. i got my Passenger endorsement, so now i have EVERY...

Wild Bill, i sure wish we had known about that telephone number program while we were with LEA ~ we spent many an hour trying to get decent numbers! LOL Weave, you're welcome for the referal ~ but it's Mr. Bjorklund we have to thank for the actual program. Did you read in his disclaimer about...

Hmmm... i think that if my money smelled like that, i might have to get rid of it! :o And even though i do understand the need of EVERY living animal to eat, drink and evacuate, i most assuredly have no intention of having them do the latter of those on my doorstep -- and in any truckstop, the...

Well, it's been about 7 months since we filed and said goodbye to NECTOS, our truck. We've been driving for an owner since then, and what a difference the Business Manager made! We did better each month with LEA, unfortunately, the mechanical problems with the FL70, and the long, dry period...

i should think that any campground that could handle RV's would be able to handle one of us -- the trick would be to FIND them in the first place! ;-) If you knew you were going to have some time off in a certain state, you might be able to stop at the Visitor's Center for information on your...

Holy Mackerel! i was just talking about a "Mr. Clean" that we had run into a couple of years ago -- is it possible that YOU are him??? ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

Hi, Weave -- long time, no see! Sure hope all is well with you! When we got exasperated with our Satellink, we "explored the options," too, but couldn't find any other services that covered the area that Satellink/Cue does. (And i think that Satellink is just a provider of the Cue service, so...

As our resident Mechanic-Mentor! Weave, your knowledge is extraordinary, and your willingness to share with us "mechanically challenged" ;-) drivers is greatly and truly appreciated! Thank you! ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

You might want to contact OOIDA about this -- if they are forcing you to buy THEIR insurance, by making their 'requirements' just a little different than any other insurance company's policy, and if their requirements go beyond the requirements of the laws, you might have a legal right to insist...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-14-01 AT 09:36PM (EDT)[p]LAST EDITED ON Apr-14-01 AT 09:36 PM (EDT) Just wanted to take a moment and wish each and every one of you a Happy Easter! Sure hope y'all are spending it with family and friends, and if you aren't exactly spending it at home, you can STILL spend it...

WHAT?!? :o You mean you're not rolling in the dough (bread dough, that is -- eating sandwiches, mostly peanut butter and jelly), taking vacation trips to Disney World (sitting for a week in beautiful Orlando, FL), and feeling the pride and financial security of owning your own business??? ;-)...

That sounds like a great program -- wonder if you could get the 'suits' to give it a try! }> :7 Seriously, though, the give and take approach certainly does seem to have it's merits. Perhaps a "swap" of one team member for a dispatcher of the opposite sex (making the dispatcher the same sex as...

i'm not sure what company you're talking about, but it occurs to me that the only power a union has is in the number of members at any given company. If you're the only union member, a strike isn't going to carry much weight... ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

Your horror story is our horror story, and the reason that we are no longer with Fed Ex CC. Not to be coy, but: 'Been there, done that, got the T Shirt.' And the saddest part of it is that they have no idea what they're doing to the ENTIRE Expedite business -- forcing people to start their...

YIKES! Did you have to have your fuel tanks drained, too? Thanks for the heads-up on this, MikeCop! ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!
