Thanks Terry! I kinda set you up - yuk yuk - not in a mean way. After 6 in the USAF ending as E-6, when back in college I went USCG Reserve. I think it's GREAT service! I just remember them (acknowledgely) being CHEAP! You couldn't get funding for crap. And then it was DOT. Well, I could of...

I'm not trying to anger youz guys . . . Kraig, DrLuv, others, Let's look for just a moment at the Mexican drivers side of it. NOT the carriers, who I think are trying to take advantage of them. Imagine someone so desperate for money, to provide for their family, to put simple food on the...

Gentlemen, While we're on the subject - a belated Veteran's Day salute to you all, and all our veteran EO folks. We'll all hoist one together one day, celebrate our freedom, tell a few stories, and celebrate we were not of the 'me' generation. Now as I recall, aren't the Coasties a division of...

No mission too big or too small.:o .

If you've ever witnessed a major accident right next to you and you've been spared you quickly realize just how close God is to you, or how you believe in the angels around you. We often can't answer why something happened, but the fact that the family is OK shows they are not alone...

We had heard at the GM plant in Shreveport that the consensus amongst the GM employees is that this is just a burp in GM's existence. And they're gearing up the union for a fight. The whole plan seems to be that GM knows they can't make a profit with the enormus burden the union employee is...

A guy runs into a crowded barber shop and asks the barber how long for a haircut. The barber looks around and says about 30-35 minutes. The guys thanks him and runs out the door and down the street. The barber scatches his head, and passes it off as some kook. The next day the same guy runs in...

I have an image that I would like to use as my AVATAR. How do I get it to the site and get it to show-up? THANKS! The Gibster

Then you'll need Hooker whistles. No, wait, that doesn't work. Never mind:7

This one is the best yet! ..I thought computers were supposed to make our lives easier, fuller. This game kicked my butt!:7 the gibster

A minister during the offertory prayer: "Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..." He would have continued, but at that moment one very obedient little girl (who was listening carefully for a change) leaned over to her...

I think the general sentiment might actually be that this expediting thing is a kick in the pants, but some are indeed in situations or with carriers that are less profitable right now. I mean, how can you travel around this beautiful country, be your own boss practically and not love it? We've...

I've seen it done for considerably less money by the folks we used to lease from. They bought the boot material and took all the old silicone material off the top. Then they cut the new piece to overlap the sides by a foot each side. Then to anchor the new material they went to a sheet metal...

OK, I don't want to sound like a snake-oil salesman, or a UFO spotter, but I think I've stumbled onto an actual deer warning/repellant system: Since we've had our truck we have noticed deer actually run from the truck as it approached, others (especially right along the side of the road)...

An elderly man goes into a nursing home and a few weeks later his daughter comes by to see how he's doing. "How's it going Dad"? "Great, great, they're feeding us well, I'm settling in, I'm even meeting a few old friends here". They're both happy and chat for a while, then he say's, "You...

Happyfeet, by all means list all your bussin' experience when you talk to new employers. Look at it this way - if it wasn't so important they wouldn't require a passenger endorsement! If you can drag 35-40 fett of bus rear around a city you are a professional driver. List it. Before Donna and I...

The Prof's question made me think about another side of the load bid system that hasn't been mentioned yet. Prof asks about how the NLM system might be of service to him as an o/o. As an O/O we also have at our disposal different load boards such as the 'DAT Boards' seen at truck stops and...

Hey you-all, I recently read a post by Oceanside and was compelled to give him/ner a positive rating of 'Great Attitude and professional postings' but noted there is no icon or listing for that. Is this a personal choice or a glich in the software? The Gibster

Just for clarification 'NLM' stands for National Logisitics Management', and although they are commonly though of when associated with auto freight we haul a lot of NLM loads from shippers whom simply want ease in finding available shippers/trucks at a low price. Our company tells us that yes...

I noticed this paint and technique on a street rod show and had never seen or heard of it - but man did I start thinking of applications on the truck! Since a few others have mentioned their love of chrome I thought I'd share a little research: http://www.innate.com/Paint/Chrome.htm and...
