Thank You!

You said it, 6. Don't you miss the "evil" Raiders of the 70s and 80s? Back then, the Seahawks were usually the practice dummies for the Raiders' dirty tactics. They'd slug someone, then take a dive when the other hit back. What pansies. LOL

Chaz, I've only read one thread that had ASAP in it. Check #2506 in the archives.

Redytrk, I like your idea on the two locks. What do you do if you're frozen out of your truck? I carry one of those tiny lock de-icers. Tis the season for a zippo too :D

Back in 96/97, my co-driver and I were crazy over a small fridge that just became an option in an FL70. Nowadays, if it doesn't have enough room to fit your local mall's metroplex theatre, it's not big enough. I understand the want for more room... especially for teams who are out 80% of the...

Ateam... it's bad enough you gotta talk about deducting your q-tips. Don't talk about itemizing your toilet paper, PLEEEEZE!!!

Pilot might as well charge you to park... they're a ripoff on everything else. I think that TA that charged us was in PA. There are plenty of others in New England and New York that charge. If I remember correctly, one charged $7 in Massachusetts, but that was about 8 years ago. I'm sure that's...

On expeditenow.com (EO's sister site), I ran across an article called Injuries: How to Avoid Them. It tells you the best ways to alleviate your joint pains. Hope it helps.

My father-in-law told me that if someone asks for money for food, tell them you'll buy them something to eat. The drunks and druggies always take off after that.

That's a poor attitude to take, Truckerbuddy. You seem to want everything to be so easy. What's life without a few risks? All they're telling us is that you hafta be right with the paperwork coming here, or you can forget your Vegas vacation. Don't need to go to Vegas anyways... not like you...

I wondered about moving the seat frame back. Thanx for everyone's advice. Next truck I get is going to be either automatic or something with that extra 6" of leg room.

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Stranded, do you know Gypsy? Sounds like you're dumping on the company when there's no way for you to know the facts. When someone says they aren't getting freight, it tells me one of three things: 1 - There is NO freight! This may be due to...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric There is only so much that can be done to keep someone from drowning. I'm not saying it's gypsy's fault or that of x-1, but it could be one of any number of things. It could be the company has too much of a certain equipment on, or that that...

Just got the truck back, and it's running like new. My bill came out $400 less than their last quote, which took the sting off somewhat. And five days isn't bad at all for a total transmission overhaul. Their mechanics took time to explain manually adjusting the "automatic" slack-adjusters, and...

I don't see where RobA screwed up. He kept it simple and answered most of Stranded's questions. Those he didn't answer weren't relevant to crossing the border, such as, about needing a permit to cross into Canada. He went step by step as to how cross the border. Best thing I can say is, get a...

Is it me, or are there other tall drivers who believe trucks aren't made for them? I'm 6'4", have an FL106, and a new clutch that everyone says feels great... except me. To me, the clutch feels like lead because my leg can't extend. And, of course, the seat is made for someone 5'9" and will not...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Mhoy, this definitely isn't the place for what you wrote. I wrote an inside joke which you decided to take public. No need for that.

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Oldtimer... he's running a sprinter, so the number of miles doesn't matter there. On a bigger note, no one here wants to hear that ghost-rider crap! Cowboys don't belong in expediting, or better yet, on the road. Tell me who wins when that...

Personally, I don't see it as good practice to take loads you wouldn't otherwise just to stay in a contest. Not saying you are, Ateam... could be that you take those runs in any case. But you hafta know there are those who try hard to win those contests by taking underpaying, high dh loads...

Grrr... just don't pick my mountain LOL
