I plan on being on the road, hopefully in a semi warm climate, so I can put a turkey on the grill. If all works out, I'll post the location and open invitation to any drivers in the area. :D

Re: freight securement I was involved in a fatality, truck totalled accident 3 years ago, not my fault. At that time I carried a camp chair, a 6' ladder, and a push broom in the nose of the box. I also had 3 spare load bars up there. After the accident the steer axle was under the front of the...

Have you checked out this company? I did a cross-dock at their facility once and they were looking for o/o in the Chicago area. Slipstream Expedited Service, Inc.

Here's the link. My only complaint, now that the switch is inside, is that it doesn't work well in cold weather. Of course, I don't either, so it's a good match. ;) eBay Motors: DUMP TRUCK TARP MOTOR, TARPS.TARPING SYSTEMS FLIP TARP (item 140274981254 end time Nov-12-08 11:35:07 PST)

The same thing that happened to coffin sleepers.

I'm glad that was a help. As I said, I used to deliver their tops, I just had to dig through the cobwebs in my mind. :D

I'm able to get around the "no drivers on the dock" because the switch for my electric landing gear is inside the box. I've found that by being polite, having my own orange vest, and safety glasses I've never been refused.

Custom Vans on Oakton, in Skokie.

Totally Awesome works well in the reservoir, too. It's supposed to be diluted with water and in the winter I add in rubbing alcohol so it doesn't freeze. I use it for total truck washes when I'm sitting with more time than money on my hands. It does a good job when there's soot on the roof...

Diesel $2.61, Anthony, TX

Cheri, It's located right by the driver's step. "It's also the very same reason there is a shortage of straight trucks and straight truck drivers." There's a shortage of straight trucks?? :confused: I thought there was a shortage of freight.

Gracie has a positive glow, she doesn't give off sour vibes. I can see where someone who thinks it's their business to monitor the laundry would think she doesn't "belong". Besides, she has teeth :D :D

Shhhhh . . . Don't tell anyone, I didn't go to an accredited school or sign on with a company and haven't had any problem getting a job. I chose not to grandfather in, because I wasn't going to be driving anymore, yeah right. When I came back to driving I did exactly as I've mentioned. Went...

Your public library should have study video/book combos available. The rental truck suggestion is a good one, just make sure the truck has airbrakes if you want that endorsement. Penske trucks generally do.

It's been quite a while since I worked as a tipped employee, so I'm sure the amount has changed, but Uncle Sam says that we tip at least 7%. Sales are tracked and taxes are taken out for the income supposedly received. Being stiffed or tipped a low amount means the server is actually paying...

I tip $1 for a clean shower. If it's not clean, I leave a penny with a note stating what was lacking and that there would have been a $1 if it was clean. If the shower attendants realize they can make an additional $100 a week by doing a good job, most will step up. I talked to one lady who...

I used to drive for a company out of Elkhart, IN, that delivered van tops. There are several manufacturers in that area. Millenium, Bremen, Global, and Vulcan are just a few. There are also surplus yards there.

I went to Wally-world yesterday to buy a rice-cooker and instead I walked out with a Rocket Grill. Ever since I saw Linder's, at Louisville, I've been looking at them. They only had one, it was down to $40 and the bags were $5. I'd suggest anyone that has one pick up the bags while the price...
