    question about my co driver taking medications

    Well obviously I got a little too froggy with my keyboard. :P Thanks for pointing out that error. I did mean to say that the driver should not be impaired when driving any vehicle. I sure hope that I did not any other critical mistakes.

    question about my co driver taking medications

    Sorry to jump into this a little late, but this subject is right up my alley so to say. Having been a nurse for over 15 years and a paramedic for 9, I believe I can wade in here. :) The long and the short of the answer is this, The driver must not operate a vehicle in an non-impaired manner...

    Diesel price versus cost, or whose $20 is that?

    RE: Diesel price versus cost, or whose $20 is that CLEAR AS MUD HE SAID IT! Now, how do these here Gestapos know who I is, and where do they get their pretty little numbers to charge me? I give up this info? Yeah right! I have not see a log book that says, how many miles I traveled ina...

    Diesel price versus cost, or whose $20 is that?

    RE: Diesel price versus cost, or whose $20 is that OK, so I am lost totally! I have to pay taxes on the gas I use in addition to the taxes already added into the pump price? When and where do I pay this? And how come this never comes into the discussion of figuring if a run is worth taking...

    The Cost of Fuel is getting Crazy

    The cost of fuel in Europe and other markets has always been much higher than ours, so I don't believe that they answer will come from their. I think the answer will be the next wave of careers in America, much like the technology industry was for the 90's. I think we will see companies that...

    OK, Time for some real help

    Very informative, and it has answered alot of my question. Thank you to all. I know that it is hard for me to stop thinking in terms of salary per hour and look at net salary over a month or quarterly long period. But, I guess I will just have to do it. Or come up with some way to make it...

    OK, Time for some real help

    OK, so the answer is "No matter how hard you ask the question, you still gotta learn the vast majority, of the job, on the fly.?." I guess I can do that and survive. So, now an answer I received earlier provokes another question. And I don't want to pry, but what is the bare minimum hourly...

    OK, Time for some real help

    Yes, I did speak with someone last year by phone, and he was a lot of help. Thanks again. The point I am trying to make with my post is that we are spending a lot of time on the same old subjects. There are "operational" topics that newbies like me need to learn also. Yes, there are...

    Thanks for the info, but the reference to Margaret was from a Ray Stevens song. You have to be that old to know it.
