If you get a chance, have a listen to the album "white mansions". A tale of the American civil war with recording artists taking on the personas of the type of people that existed in the south back then, from the rich plantation owners all the way down to the white trash and the slaves. Waylon...

I think an electrical kill switch both inside and outside the truck is a great idea. Not only for fire protection but it also acts as a theft deterrent as well. It was standard on all the buses I used to operate.

Well, since I'm a big big Joe Walsh fan, I'll have to disagree with you on that one. :-)

Yes, that album IMO is their best. I dont have a favourite song, the whole album is great! "Freedom? Oh freedom. That's just some people talkin'. Your prison is walking through this world all alone" Don Henley is a fantastic lyricist. His solo work is amazing as well.

Your are to be commended for your dedication to customer service, however as Ateam mentioned, there is a time to disengage and cut your losses. IMO that would have been when you were given a different terminal address than where you originally thought you were going. You had made your original...

Exactly, and this is the time when the carriers need to stand in solidarity with the drivers and owner ops and make the customers pay and make em pay large! Unfortunately the law of "the path of least resistance" will probably dictate that the carriers will salivate like pavlovs dog if they...

This really should not be allowed to be logged off duty. Any definition of off duty status I have ever read always included the words "driver is free from the responsibility of and is able to leave the vehicle. Neither of these scenarios applies if there is a guarded load. If this is allowed to...

I would also change my password JIC and do you read your mail through Verizon's own web interface or do you download to a 3rd party mail reader?

No offence but did you talk to tech support at verizon first about this? That would be the normal course of action. Then if you didn't get things straightened out I would expect you to be on here venting about it. Also keep track of your login times as it is possible your account has been hacked...

Actually, that sounds more like it was spoken by a true forklift operator, LOL!

I agree with the Florida law 100%. Hazards should only be used in the event of breakdown or a truck going slow up a hill. Putting hazards on in the rain is not proper use and Putting hazards on to warn others behind you of traffic problems up ahead IMO only invites them to go around you, and...

Longer shelf life equals more chemical preservatives. Mmmm Mmmm good!

Isn't it funny how that can look so appealing after living in a van or sleeper. It's all about perspective!

A story which he changed too many times. Therefore he has no credibility no matter what he said.

Actually you are probably right. In reality there is only about 38, however according to Sylectus there are 2200. :-/

Not possible as I have no peers :-p

Actually what's amusing (and pathetic) is that both the defense and DA rarely reference points of law anymore. The only thing that matters is what they can get you to believe. Just another con job really. I mean you expect it from the defense, but when the DA starts using the same theatrics...

You are correct, however this is the soapbox and opinions are what this forum is here for. He may have very well acted out of fear of serious physical injury or death but IMO it was initiated by his own actions. For that reason, I would have convicted him of manslaughter. Like I said, I have...
