My girlfriend and I drive an 07 Hino. The mileage isn't so bad, around 8.5 average. The issues that we have is that is has no cojones. Going up the hills, we might as well get out and push if its not going 75 down the front side of the last one. Ours has a 22' box and 96" sleeper. Great things...

Pardon my horrible eyes... but did you just say the "employee attitude?" Don't you mean trickle-down? 10 seconds? That's funny. Seeing as how the usual (note I said usual) load/unload process takes upwards of about 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes I spend, even now, talking about the business that...

Amen. I've dealt with that in my short time (relatively) on the road. Just recently, we (Laura and I) were pretty much accused of not checking tire pressure, and the tires went bad. Then they were replaced, after the dealership said that we hit something. Like 4 times. Survey says??? X Anyway...

Probably... and I'd remiss at sucking up bandwidth with a one word response. But that's all I could think of.

Here's an idea. Instead of people jumpin in each others sh*t for saying something that might be a bit "off-topic." Why not just crap can the whole mess and start from gound-zero. There are people on here that make sense, make others laugh, make some cry, and make some curse a blue-streak. We...

Well stated. I, for one, think that over the top for anything is bad. Poker, drinking, baseball. Look what over the top did for Mark Fidrych. Four years in the Majors, and really nothing to show for it but a beat up arm, bad hair and a concrete hauling business. When we try to censor something...

Sounds painful. Last thing I would want is to have a kickstand to keep me in bed.

Am I supposed to read all of that?

I, personally, would think the idea of an 'open' forum would be to facilitate open debate. We all compare and argue our points. Some are right, some aren't. We can't be right 100% of the time. Even Ken Jennings lost on Jeopardy at some time. If something gets too personal, or to the point of...

Wait a minute. As much as I don't dig people from other countries ripping on how ours does business. OVM has a point here. We the People elect these morons to do our dirty work. We give them the broadest powers available to "govern" the way we think they will. But when they go and do something...

>I think he should be charged but look at what some of these >hockey players do to each other and get away with it. Yeah, that's why I put the Marty McSorley reference in there. But when you look at hockey, it's much more intense. More physical than any other sport. Football has it's definite...

OK. So Offerman used to be a fairly decent Major League ballplayer. After a few years of wear, he--like many other players--finds himself in the minors. So last night, he managed to get himself hit by a pitch. Instead of either A)taking his base, B)having it out with the pitcher, or C)going down...

I'd agree with that... but the funniest part is, it was the semi-finals! But yeah, that was an extra-special moment in US sporting history. And, as much as I really don't dig him as an announcer, Al Michaels did wonders to capture the moment. And I think that Dorothy may have been 76 in...

The companies may try, but all the folks that are driving for a QC company (FedEx, Panther, et al.) are getting wiser to this. Especially when it says what the pay is right off the top. The only way that we woul ever take a van load, or any discounted freight, is to get us out of BFE...

Absolutely. As much as I would love to find the "lover's leap" type of location, there just aren't enough to park ANY size truck in. Plus, I like showers. And "free" happens to be one of my (if not most Americans) favorite words. Just ask the Commies... and Granholm. That, and I don't...

Paper all the way. If you make a mistake, then you can at least tear out the page and start all over. If you jack something up on the computer and it's a real-time QC type program, then you just got jacked up!!!

OK, maybe I should amend that... on the run to CO I had, there was a 10 hour sleep that I took somewhere in Iowa. But it sure felt like a straight thru!

Amen brother. Not tooting my own horn, but I know that mine is slightly higher than the range they have on there. Must have been JB they were quizzing.
