Dispatchn1... I agree with your philosophy. However, you forgot to mention the biggest cost... load insurance. $10,000/year is something to consider. As far as I'm concerned, you're preaching to the choir. However, a company like C&M has many more connections, and can keep me loaded more than I...

I love to watch John Stossel. Unfortunately, it 's not required viewing for the unimformed masses. I remember watching his story on the history of diamonds. DeBeers is a brilliant company! First, they shower the post-WW2 women with advertisements, making every woman want theirs. Then, they...

Broom... I think the government (particularly Louisiana) is at least partly responsible for the :censoredsign: bursting. They had the money to fix it, along with the fed's help. Instead, they spent it on something else. It ALWAYS takes a disaster to make something happen in government. I thought we were...

This is an EO classic! Bump to the top :+

Cooked two meals so far with my GF grill. Tell you what... if more drivers out there knew what they were missing, the truckstop restaurants would go out of biz. I picked up some ribeye at Walmart, cooked it med-well, and it was the juiciest steak I've ever had. It tasted like prime rib, it was...

RE: Sick of getting ripped off for paying with a C I understand it too. It's one more way we get shafted by truckstops. You remember gas stations had cash/credit price? Well, they did away from them cause ppl got sick of paying higher with credit. Now, it appears the stations eat the credit...

Thanx DD... I didn't even think about getting it there.

Just some info for those who have to use the special red stuff in their trucks. In the Detroit area, I found it at Murrays for $13/gal for 50/50. Autozone doesn't carry it. Out of curiosity, where do you pick it up? How much more is it at a truck stop?

If you let the tiger roam loose, then you hafta let the T-rex loose... it's only fair. Leo... if we ever want to pull your chain, we know where to go ;)

Broom... you hit the nail on the head. Putting women in the workforce destroyed our one-income household mentality. Half the money from the second income usually goes to childcare. If you don't have affordable medical insurance, there goes the other half. Is it worth it? In most cases, no. But...

I finally bought my George Foreman type (Hamilton Beach) grill. At $45, it's large enough for two good sized steaks, or 3 chops. It has a removable grill so washing's a whiz. Now I'll make it a point to stop at a Supercenter and grab some porterhouse and some potato salad. I'll have a better...

Ontario... you're right about settling down. But if you look at certain IPOs that show a lot of interest in the first day, it may be good to grab at the beginning. Boston Market comes to mind (then Boston Chicken). It started around 18, and jumped to 38 by day's end. Of course, it dropped back...

What he said was he gets 100% and pays 7% for factoring. You're right... 17% makes it hard to be worth it. The gig I had last year, with my old cabover, was 7% to the authority and 5% factoring. 12% was well worth it, other than the guy was constantly late with paying me. I also got shafted on...

True... and the surge devices are what pays out in case your computer takes a dive during a brownout. Companies like Kensington usually has a $10,000 guarantee on their protectors.

ROFLMAO Jim... he walked into that one ;)

If it's minor anti-depressants, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Something as extreme as lithium would be a disqualifier, however. As there are so many meds on the board for depression, I would check with someone who does DOT physicals.

In a lot of ways, I'd call it better. The Argosy is smoooooth! With a 110" cab/sleeper, you can fit a 30' box on the back. Drove one for Col. Foster, and I have to say that was the best truck as far as utilizing what you have available. I wouldn't say it's for the normal carrier tho.

Whatever :P

You have a lot of cahones stating Bush never makes his own decisions, when Clintons own advisors have said over and over HIS decisions were based on POLLS! It's clear how you lean, and it doesn't matter what they do in your party, you'll still support them. Some of us, however, have snubbed the...

Like my dad says... how many steaks do they want for dinner? It's human nature to separate ppl from what they have, whether it's by stealing or selling or scamming. The more you control what they own, the more power you hold over their lives. He who buys need one hundred eyes. But one's enough...
