    OOIDA membership vs ?

    Their insurance is on the high side. All their other benefits are well worth the membership tho. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Is owning a truck the same as owning a buisness?

    RE: Is owning a truck the same as owning a buisnes IMO, Danny's got it right. As contractors, we are limited to yes-no decisions, and where we want to dh to wait for our next load. In a sense, we're like a franchisee, where others make the rules, and we abide by them to get our piece of the...

    Wacky week in the NFL...

    Detroit SPANKS Atlanta? Stealers are 2-6? Chicago gets beat by Miami IN CHICAGO??? San Fran holds Minnesota to 3 points? Washington beats Dallas on a fluke blocked field goal? It's why they play the game. It's called "any given Sunday". :) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I...

    Colts or Patriots?

    Helps that Brady threw 4 picks. ;) Honestly tho, the Colts are the only team I could see going 16-0, then lose in the playoffs. Their defense is built to hold a lead. And when they go against a team that can figure out how to fluster Manning, they lose. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely...

    You have $170,000 for truck...

    Magic... I have to agree that putting all of that money into one truck is unwise. If you need a NICE truck, use half of that money. Put the rest away. And if you have the urge to get another truck or two and have someone else drive them, there ya go. Three trucks generate more than one. "If I...

    E-Track Load Locks

    Truck-n-tow has them, but they're the pinching kind. x( They're off of 96 in Detroit. www.truckntow.com Gotta say tho, they are very cheap as compared to truckstops. They also carry tool boxes, lights, train horns, straps, e-track, etc. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I...

    Speed limiters on trucks

    They made a good point on the truckers channel the other day. Limiting trucks to 68 would also, in a way, obligate them to drive 68, even in areas or conditions they wouldn't normally. I also noticed when two speed-limited trucks get next to each other, traffic goes nowhere. Two big enough...

    If Zak is also getting into this, I'm sure he can sign on with an o/o with the understanding that you'll be driving also. Ta-da... free training vehicle. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    What is the best GPS device?

    The only thing mapquest doesn't do that the handheld units do is tell you where to turn. In cases where a street sign is hidden or missing, or the addresses in the area aren't visible from the street, I could see getting one. Occasionally I miss my turn, but have never gotten totally lost from...

    You have $170,000 for truck...

    I'd actually buy 4 trucks. But if I can only get one, it would be an '06 Argosy, 30'box, rigmaster gen, liftgate, and what's left over I'd buy a few acres in TN to park the truck. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Refreshing change of subject.

    Coulda been your clean-shaven, balding head ;) Men, including me, tend to respond to crises with anger, rather than fear. The feeling of helplessness manifests itself as a loss of the "macho hero" personna. Which just about pisses any man off when his masculinity is questioned (in this case, by...

    Is Everyone sick of people tooting their own horn.

    RE: Is Everyone sick of people tooting their own h Gotta agree with Broom 110%. Instead of making it personal by stating who TOOTS, you alienate everyone by pointing out the few who have helped you; and therefore, everyone else TOOTS. I also agree that a couple of those you mentioned also TOOT...

    Colts or Patriots?

    Gotta go with the Pats on this one. They're home and have a good running game. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    What is the best GPS device?

    I know it's not a gps devise, but I use mapquest and a piece of paper. Rarely fails. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas
