RE: .S. Senate Appropriations committee says no to If that is the same legislation that contained all the pork bribes to get the soldiers out of Iraz, then forget about it. It won't pass in the Senate and the President will veto it. If it is a separate bill, then great going.

That was my first reaction. I thought it was a joke. Like "We was wandering why them there giys try to screew uss?"

As one of those trucks that causes you that problem, I apologize. But, sometimes the only way I can get up the next hill without slowing to 35 is to get as much speed as I can going down the previous one. I realize it may not seem safe and it disturbs you, but downshifting to 5th or 6th gear...

All the truckstops add up to $.06 more per gallon to use plastic. Use Comdata, and you get the "cash" price. At Flying J, you only get the cash price using cash (what's that?), a fleet card like TCH or their money card.

You're right about the $1.00 fee. I have the ability to transfer for free from my checking account to TAB, but, like you said, it takes at least 2 business days. In a past life, I only had to do the CDC to TAB once a week, so it worked for me. Since I was paid on my Comdata card, I could...

Bob and Linda. If you get money on your Comdata card, you can transfer that money to TAB in 15 minutes with Comdata only charging a $1.00 fee for the transfer. You call TAB, use their phone menu, select Comdata deposit, select that you need a check number and the TAB menu will walk you through...

That was a lot of good information. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

There is a Flying J on Monte Cristo Road off US-281 in Edinburgh. Also a crappy T/A and a Loves further up the road. Edingurgh is only about 8 miles from McAllen. It's much warmer in the McAllen/Brownsville area. Brownsville is the most southern part of the US.

My laptop, XM Radio, filled cooler and something to do while sitting. lol

Well, I got out of Laredo Thursday night and spent Friday dealing with 80 degree weather at the Flying J in Edinburgh. Be careful what you wish for. I'm sitting in Saginaw, MI looking at the ice and snow all over the Flying J parking lot. But I was glad to be driving this weekend. I took...

Ooohhh. I'm might like something like embroidery or crocheting if somebody could teach me. I'll have to ask my daughter or friend Brenda to get me a couple of beginner kits. I just might like that. Congrats, Leo. Do you still have to know Morse Code to get a Ham license? I heard they were...

Semantics. Such a big word. I never tell people I'm an LTLer. I'm an expediter. All the loads on my truck get the same dock to dock always on time service. But I understand what you mean. I think that may be the new direction a lot of this freight is going. Why else would UPS have bought...

I just love the attention. But that's enough now. As much as I like being the center of attention, that's not what this post is supposed to be about (even if I keep trying to make it about me). Thanks again for all the suggestions. I'll try to learn patience. I'm sure it's easy. After...

You're too kind, Cheri. Let's get together. No. Wait. It wouldn't last. You and I would be zoned out in totally different worlds. lol I've taken medicine for the OCD and everybody told me I was weird after using the medicine. I've discovered that driving a truck is the greatest therapy...

Everybody has such great ideas. I'd like to try them all. But, after I have delivered, I sit and bite my nails because I know that if I start something I will get called and I won't have enough time to get to my pickup on time. And when I finally realize that nobody is going to call me for a...

No exclusive use. Not when they pay you $1100 for 1800 miles.

I owe some taxes for 1997. I have a repayment plan set up with the IRS. As long as I continue making my payments, are my checking and savings accounts safe? What about an HSA? If I default for any reason on my payments, can the IRS take that money? If I set up an "Offer in Compromise", is...

Let's get back on subject. I want some more suggestions for things I can do while sitting. I usually am afraid to do anything because what if I'm called and I have to roll and I'm just not ready????? Sorry. That was the OCD in me talking. So how about some ideas, people? I need something...

I have a load that I'm heading to McAllen to pick up. It picks up tonight but can deliver in Wayne, MI anytime as long as it is there by noon on the 19th. I can store it in the back of my trailer and put on more loads from down here and earn a week's pay over the weekend since there is no...

I'm so so sorry. I mistated some facts and I need to correct them. I have explained to Steve at A. Blair that I'm riddled with A.D.D. (just like Glenn Beck) and panic when I sit for more than 20 hours. Steve has just proven to me that in the 9.5 weeks I've driven for them, I've averaged 2565...
