I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway. I was thinking about old age and...

HEE HEE HEE, 321.1! Got under that one! (I think the record is 326. The 321.1 was luck, I see alot of 320's). Is it that slow out here?:7

I promise, no actual penguins were harmed in the making of this game.:D Click once to make the penguin jump off the cliff and click again to make the Polar bear swing the bat to smack the penguin! See how far you can make him fly!(this IS addicting) Have fun! Click here...

A good place to start is to ask yourself, what would YOU or YOUR FIANCE' expect from a fleet owner if you were to drive for them. Then - do you offer a similar program or benefit? Then tell that in your ad as a driver, not a salesman. Since your starting out as a small fleet you are going to...

You might also try starting out by driving a school bus for a couple of years, till you become insurable to the fleets. Now, before you go yukie-poo-poo at the idea, consider this: *Usually paid training to get your CDL and Air brake and Passenger endorsements. *About the same length as an...

Slowhand, we kinda notice that freight tends to move more (even with expediting) thru traditional freight lanes and areas. We always see more trucks on the Ohio Turnpike than 95 and 75 put together. And last night was no exception, I've probably seen 2 dozen different expediters in the past 3...

Hey Bob, Remember the Union Station in D.C.? They charge $20 a bus ( at least they did 3-4 years ago) and you had the run of the mall in the building. On all day excursions we literally would have the groups end their day by reassembing there for reload. Your stack 'em and park 'em idea has...

We remember a **NEW** truckstop advertised on a billboard around the NJ Rt 1/9 corridor in Newark. Got dispatched in a D unit before we could find it, but believe it's below the Penske service center.

I might suggest that the doc either suffer from a case of, or wanted to find the cure for the rare disease known as: OPTIRECTALITIS. . . it's where you get your optic nerve crossed with your rectal nerve and get a s*@tty outlook on life. You heard it here first! ;) THE Gibster!

We actually hauled a prototype, new engine for them out to California before. It was bound for their tech school. We were impressed in that their corporate philosophy is just because you're a diesel or truck mechanic doesn't mean your a Hino tech. The engine was like the 7th or so built, and...

Hey Kraig, The great thing about our big sleeper (and my small BBQ grill) is we're practically self contained for extended periods. And noted as you have the truckstops can get pretty earthy we tend to now head for Wal-Marts, the RV/auto lots at truckstops, or a field or empty lot close-by...

We think T/A's are in some sort of financial trouble. We recently blew a rear tire and were able to nurse it to a local T/A for replacement. We asked about putting the price for the tire/service on our T/A RoadKing card, they advised service is no longer allowed as card points - only fuel! We...

FUNNY STUFF!

:7 :7 :7 Thanks Loose! The situation is perfectly clear now, it's the half-Fast card! You're a genius:D :D The Gibster (LMHO) *****************************************************

After dogging it for about a year we finally gave in and got our FAST Cards. We went thru the whole process, the background check and the interview process, got our cards. Now don't get me wrong, I want a secure America and better border policies as much as the next guy. But when receiving our...

I'm at .428, Donna did it in .240 See how quick you can keep the little boogers from escaping! http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/ This is almost addictive.:P The Gibster

We too have run across mils weighing vehicles, and the only way we knew it was the scale lady thought we were mil also by mistake. The vehicles were civilian and they were not typical spit and polish, high and tight looking personnel. I guess the real scam indicator might of been if he had...

What a great choice! Congratulations Leo!

Mike, I know this isn't exactly a thing about 'sittin' and waiting', but i think we should all remember to ENJOY the scenery as it goes by. We have one of the few professions where we get to watch the seasons change before our very eyes; and I guarantee each and every trip, even to the same...

:7 :7 :7 You Might Be A Redneck Expediter If you find some scrap decking out back of the truckstop and make a BBQ grill stand out of it. You Might Be A Redneck Expediter If you stand there at Denney's, smiling like a chesire cat at the hostess smiling at you, only to go into the bathroom...
