Local driver here- went from Madison Heights to Lapeer in the early AM. Dropped off at 10:30 (roads were brutal). Went over to my folks after that in Flint. Was available at 1PM, hoping to get a run back towards Detroit. Nothing. So I spent the rest of the day w/ my folks. I made I'm...

Hey Mark- Lots of good advice on here. Except for one. You've probably figured it out already. As has been said by a couple of the solid ones, keep on asking Q's. As for the kernel, the best thing ya can do is ignore the guy. Then any time he yaps you'll see a message like this...

Hey Slo- A few thoughts in between your comments.

Dave- One of the few times I disagree w/ ya. I think it's a step in the right direction safety wise. If they can make a few extra $$ along the way, fine. I doubt the revenue from these tickets will make much of an impact on Alabama's budget. The idea is to deter people from doing...

You are accurate & I stand corrected. I hadn't thought about Credit Unions selling the loans & therefore needing a tighter guideline.

Two words- Can't stress this enough. Not sure how to make the real big letters but the words are this: CREDIT UNION I'm not promising anything here, but a credit union takes a more common sense approach to lending. They realize self employed people often have low incomes for tax...

I guess I left it open to what perfect was. I meant it in a way that yea there might be some challenges but ya dealt w/ em pretty smoothly & went on about your day. Then adding things like maybe a great political debate that didn't get heated in the least. Or maybe ya stop in at a lil...

How often do you have that proverbial perfect day?

I hope he goes in front of a judge w/ some common sense. I've got to believe there's more to the story than meets the eye. There's no way this kind of thing is worth even close to $30,000 with what I've seen on the video. Out of curiosity, how much would an overweight ticket run? I'm...

Here's what I did when I wanted to sleep & wasn't planning on renting a room that nite. I'd go to the nicest hotel in town. I mean the 5 Star ones if a city had one. Then I'd doze in their parking lot. I used to tell people that this job allowed me to stay at the finest hotels in the...

Happy New Year Back at ya. Great thread.

Read the book Death of the BCS. The whole bowl system is a racket. Teams forced to buy tickets for games. The universities lose millions on a lot of these games. Who gets the $$? A very limited amount of people. These guys make $5-800,000 year for hosting ONE game. One lousy game...

I've never been a Lions fan. I'm happy for them in the sense I'm happy about any downtrodden team that finally rises up. I'm happy for the people in this area who finally have a football team they can be proud of. So in that sense I'm happy for em. I root for the Cowboys in the NFL...

Overall I'm pretty happy w/ how the last few months have went. It'll slow down some this winter I'm sure, but if other drivers want time off, maybe I can pick up some of what they end up not taking.

I'm feeling pretty stupid here. I always thought they were shorter & not able to hold 2 skids. That's why I thought that companies always wanted us to get the 3/4 or 1 ton. What's the advantage of the 3/4 ton? Is it the suspension?

You have a 150 out there? Can it hold 2 skids? If not, that's a fair amount of miles for a 1 skid van. For that matter, even if it can hold 2 skids, the 3 vehicles combined seems to keep ya fairly busy. Congrats.

Yea, we're all wired a lil bit differently. Not saying anyone is right or wrong. Sorta like being right or left handed. I have a devil of a time getting to sleep, but on the other I can sleep anywhere once I'm tired. Sleeping in the van is something I can do pretty easily. Maybe cuz...

While driving? I like to text, drink coffee, check the game on the tv, play some game on the computer, drive 55MPH in the left lane while yappin on the phone, then speed up to 70 & put on makeup, etc. Oh wait, I'm gettin confused w/ what we see others do. One thing I am starting to do...

How much did it run ya & what exactly does bells & whistles entail? Do you still have to modify it for expediting work? Congrats on your purchase.

I must be doing something wrong. Whenever I google XXX, all I ever get is information about Super Bowl 30.
