    I'm lost.

    Yea, $1500 for ins sounds really low. I would definetly double check what exactly this covers and such. I may not get the best deal, but i pay more than that for bobtail/full coverage( not cargo) on my 01 str8 trk going thru OOIDA. Times are tough right now for str8 jobs but when things are...

    Rate Cuts

    Well this is a larger issue, but has anyone thought about this. If OUR government would not waste so much money in the various forms that it does, then our taxes would be lower. That would change EVERY single person's perpspective on what a profitable run was. Taxes are an expense folks. And...

    How often has this happened

    Hey Charles, I'm not saying this broker or carrier was trying to pull a fast one, but I have had it happen before to me as well as others I've spoke to. Gotta watch 'em for sure. As to the weight issue, usually it ends up being less not more weight. But you know who would be in hot tea if the...

    Taking care of our fellow drivers

    Yes Turtle... very important point to make about turning off lights then back on...not using brights to signal clear. Nothing I hate more hardly than being "blinded by the light". I don't know what people are thinking when they use brights to signal clear. Seems reasonable to think the passing...

    What Our leader are not

    Chef, I respect ur decision to not label urself with a party affiliation. U sound like a person I could agree with on many things. IMPO, ur closer to Libertarian than either of the other 2 major parties. Go Bob Barr... I'll take my chances

    What Our leader are not

    Not sure who said it but, "People get the government they deserve." Based on what I see of MOST people in this country and the level of apathy, our current political condition shouldn't surprise those that actually pay attention. Apathy is this country's biggest obstacle to keeping in check...

    Going to the Expo

    I second the suggestion to meet up at Idlebuster camp. The candybar couple are really great folks. Good to see those I knew already, good to meet those I'd only heard of before. You just can't beat grill'n with fellow expediters. Wish there were more chances to do it.

    Important Ruling on In Cab Laptops pending

    Not.... I got your back LEO, you're not wrong. I use both and love having both. They compliment each other actually. The only place the anti laptop gps plp are wrong is to say standalone gps is LESS dangerous than laptop gps. Assuming laptop is in a stand of some kind...i use cybertrucker. Hell...

    Insurance

    Can any of you guys (or gals) out there with your own authority let me know what insurance company you're using ? PM is OK... Called Progressive today but they limit cargo coverage to 100,000 in SC. Have talked with OOIDA also, thought they were a lil high. Any and all opinions welcome.

    Roadcheck 2008

    Bob or Linda, while I agree with you about taking care of a truck and it being for ones own good, I didn't ask for $50. It's the company's deal and I certainly won't turn down money for doing something I would do anyway. They also pay for not having any log violations for the month too. Again...

Pulled in a MI scale next day, sent around back. Officer heading to my truck with creeper and flashlight saw yellow sticker, told me...
