    25 Most Dangerous Cities in America for 2007

    It's always good to see my home city of Camden make one of these lists. Hey, atleast we are in the Top 10 of something.. lol.. Watch out St Louis, we're coming back next year to recapture our rightful #1 spot.. It's funny, how Camden has changed. My father was a police officer there for 31...

    lock your doors and get out you guns

    I also believe in the "two dog" security system. My dogs are grizzled truck vets, and it is definitely OUR cab..lol. My German Shepard "Cajun Gypsy" sits on the passenger seat when I'm gone, (although when I'm in the truck, she enjoys cuddling on the bunk with me...saves idling for warmth..if...

    Truck Driver Agility Test

    Well, I just hit 34.109 seconds, (without using steroids), and now I'm officially retiring from escapa. It's been a wonderful career of several days, but unlike a great aging prizefighter, I know when to go out on top, and leave the game to younger caretakers. "Today, I stand here, the...

    BEEP!!! IN THE NIGHT....

    I've had some late night "non-rescues" also. When I was with Panther, one night we had rolled into Chicago for a 10PM delivery. After dropping, we were looking for a place to grab a quick bite to eat before sleeping. Around 0015, as we're fading to sleep in some parking lot, the QC goes off with...

    Laguna Burger, Laguna Indian Reservation New Mexic

    RE: Laguna Burger, Laguna Indian Reservation New M I'm always tempted to check out the smaller local places featuring "authentic home cooked food". With that said, I won't eat at a place like that unless I can see where they are cooking the food. It's usually a good indication of other storage...

    Thanksgiving- is there any freight that week?

    I generally had good luck during Thanksgiving and most other holidays. The fact that there might be slower freight at companies is tempered by the fact that there is a lot less trucks. With that said, the Colonel is right, you never know for sure, and it's still being at the right place at the...

    Kids in Restaurants

    The city where I now live, (and hopefully not much longer) is about a 70,000 person, combination tourist resort/"yuppie" town. It is populated by a lot of weird people with piercings everywhere, and it's supposed to be a friendly, big "Woodstock" type atmosphere, where everyone just "does their...

    how would you handle this situation?

    Hello Arkjar, I probably should let Dr. Laura answer this, (I'm a lot bigger and hairier than her..), but here goes! It's time to stand up to your father-in-law and defend your wife. If your both adults, (and not living in his house), you should be defending your wife, and possibly...

    how not to unload a truck

    A Team is right. People sometimes get complacent, but a dock/warehouse can be dangerous. I was fascinated when I picked up once at that huge carpet manufacturer in Dalton. (the one where the drivers' area is up above looking down at the dock). There were dock bays on all four sides, and atleast...

    RE: Best Concert you have ever been two OK top thr Diamond Rio, 1997, super fan-friendly, great real musicians, they ended with a tribute to the Doobie Brothers, Beach Boys, Beatles, and more and it was great. Brooks and Dunn- When you see them, every song on a two hour show was a...

    Gun Control, interesting stats

    One more thing...Greg...Justus made a great point, GUN CONTROL LAWS ALWAYS LEAD TO A SPIKE IN CRIME, VIOLENT AND OTHERWISE. (and it's always funny when the vocal well-off "anti-gun crowd" darn sure have armed guards protecting them).

    Gun Control, interesting stats

    Leo is right on the money. If you have a clean background and a CCW permit, (which shouldn't be the fight it is to get if you have a clean background), you should be able to take it in your truck, (which is your home really when you're out working). Beyond that, you should be able to take it in...

    Bush, Texas at Odds Over Death Case

    I agree with with Honda kings idea. Leo's is good, but way too quick and painless. Unfortunately these matters are usually decided by moronic judges that think they are smarter, and more "progressive" than the rest of society. They forget who they are supposed to represent. They are the same...

    Panther trucks and job count

    I don't have a dog in this fight, but I have to say Leo, I'm glad I read this thread, because I took something important from it that I will definitely use in the future....maybe the greatest EO line ever.
