    Stimulus

    The beer would have to be from a microbrewery. Aren't Budweiser and Miller both foreign owned now?

    Nevada Troopers Riding in Rigs to Catch Agressive Drivers

    A program in Nevada aims to catch dangerous drivers by putting state troopers in trucks, the Associated Press reported. The Nevada Highway Patrol said last week that it had leased three trucks and hired drivers to drive with state troopers. When a trooper sees a car driving aggressively or...

    tires, road hazard certificates???

    I got the road hazard certificate from Discount Tire. Glad I did considering the condition of the roads around here. I've replaced 2 tires already this year after hitting debris out in the middle of the highway. For me, it's paid for itself. Those guys have never charged me for plugging...

    Tigers - Twins

    Bummer. Trying to look at it from the outside, it was a heck of a game to watch. Good luck against the Yankees

    06 m2 egr diagnost

    I've changed the EGR valve and solenoid on my wife's car and it was a piece of cake. They were both right up on top and pretty easy to get at. Repair shop wanted $250 just to do the EGR valve. Picked up the valve up for $60 and the solednoid for $20 at a parts store. Never tried it on a truck...

    Packers - Vikings

    Okay, the media has done a good job of hyping this game. Fact is that Peterson is the one to worry about, not Favre. Revenge for Brett? Yeah, whatever. The real game of interest will be Nov. 1 at Lambeau. Hoping for, but not expecting a Packer win tonight!

    Tigers - Twins

    All comes down to a one game playoff. The Tigers had multiple chances to put the Twinkies away and left them in the hunt. Anybody have a prediction on the game tomorrow? I think it'll be a close, low scoring game. We'll see. Go Tigers!!!

    barry surrenders the U.S. Sovereignty.....

    So what's the angle here then? How does any American (Obama included) benefit from this? I take issue with all of it--but especially the notion that we have one vote just the same as the rest of em. He does know that foreigners can't vote for him next election, right?

    Working for 2 companies

    If you're able to make it work, more power to ya. Not for me--would be too much like trying to keep 2 steady girlfriends. At some point I'd screw up and call one by the wrong name.:o Or in this case forget to go out of service when applicable. I would think that it'd bother the dispatchers...

    How far from home?

    I'd head home if I was within an hour any day of the week. Fridays and Saturday I'd extend it out to an hour and a half to two hours.

    C & M trucking, any input

    I have heard them referred to as a "carrier's carrier." They don't handle NLM or PTM loads, but I believe they are setup with the GPS alliance. I've heard that a lot of carriers broker loads to them. I've never known anyone that drove for them.

    Old fishermen never die, they just smell that way

    Read through some of the old posts out here. Most expedite companies use owner operators. If you don't currently own your own truck, you should be able to find a good deal on a newer used one. Talk to recruiters, but more importantly--try to talk to drivers for that company. Everyone's...

    Not a Lions fan, but glad they finally broke the streak. Let the return to mediocrity begin!

    99 bottles of beer on the wall.....yeah, that'll get old quick. I'll guess you're going through the plains states.

    McDonalds are (almost) everywhere!

    The U.P. is looking pretty sparse too. I think Escanaba has one. The Beef a Roo looks like a bigger chain there.
