There is a time to say, "It takes all kinds," and a time to to say, "We don't need any of this." This is the latter. This guy lives in PA, so you might be sharing the road with him. (All signs of near-illiteracy are in the originals.)

I suppose if there's a pond and you like to fish, that would float your boat. Otherwise, what do you do there?

Fueled at the Petro in Monee, IL. Went to the fuel desk to get my 2nd chance points added. She wrote my info down on the clipboard, I grumbled a bit about my shower not being added right away, figuring that like others, it would be a couple days before it was faxed in and I'd get my shower...

Anybody else getting FECC recruiting spam from an Eric Kinaitis, subject $1000 Sign-On Bonus from FedEx Custom Critical is Waiting for You? Ive been trying to call management over there to ask if they approve of sending spam, but I only get voice mail. It's obvious he harvested my address from...

Virginia’s Gone Loopy (Again)… by Eric Peters by Eric Peters This state – my state – has a thing for imposing grossly disproportionate-to-the-offense...

top headlines: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 Florida Toll Road Sued for Holding Motorists Hostage A group of motorists earlier this month filed a federal class action lawsuit against Florida's toll road system for detaining motorists who attempt to pay the tolls with cash. About 600 miles...

:mad:I can't take it anymore.:mad: LOSE is the opposite of win or gain. LOOSE is the opposite of tight. Why can't you get that right? Why? Why? Why? And while I'm at it, it's THEIR, not THIER, and you use the article "an" when the next word starts with a vowel OR A VOWEL SOUND, as in, "AN...

If this trend of hardier winters and expanded snow zones is to continue, some changes are going to have to be made. Tulsa, f/e, just got their second deep snowstorm just as they were getting back on their feet from the first. I lived there for a couple years, and even a two inch snow will...

I like Red Roofs, other places that have no upcharge for having a dog. What motel discount packages are you using?

Ate at a Petro last night. The open-faced meatloaf sandwich you serve is delicious. I sprinkle some seasoned salt on it, dump on a lot of Louisiana hot sauce, and it's fantastic. My problem came when I got the bill. $12.47 for that meal and iced tea is out-fricken-rageous and...

What percentage, give-or-take, is Sprinter-specific, whether or not it could actually fit in a regular CV? In other words, how much freight are CVs missing out on by not being a Sprinter?

One of my companies is a very small company that gets mentioned here occasionally. I'm sure the owner will recognize his company in this post. So I'm in the People's Republic last week--the left coast one--Ontario, to be specific, and he called me and dispatched me on a load delivering between...

Where: the Petro in El Paso, TX When: 1/25 and 1/26 Me: The guy from the CV, walking the prettiest dachshund in the history of the world You: The guy in the Sprinter with the lab or lab mix (?--just guessing) with the EO bumper sticker. Our dogs had a couple verbal unpleasantries. After I saw...

I recently found out that TA/Petro limits customers to 2 frequent fueler rewards per day. Was on a long trip and fueled at TA several times that day and later wondered where my shower credits were. Turns out that I had gotten all to which I was entitled, given the 2 points loads per day...

Just accepted a load from the LA area to a small town in central Utah. Right after I told him to place the bid, I thought, "Oh, crap, I shouldn't have taken that one." Just my luck, we win the bid, after losing out on two good loads that would have taken me back to civilization. To get...

Ok, technically, not lies, because they probably thought they were accurate when they said them. It seems it always always always always happens this way. Driving in bad weather, and trying to get south of the freeze line, which seems to be harder and harder to find in recent years (Al Gore...

Was just talking to the owner of a logisitics/expediting co. He said cargo vans are getting pulled over and ticketed near Kalamazoo. Apparently, the issue is the lack of a door sign. I asked him what happens if they're not loaded, and essentially operating a personal vehicle. He said his...

Federal Agency Pushes States to Toll Existing Roads Administration spends $10.5 million in taxpayer funds encouraging conversion of free roads into toll routes. The Federal Highway Administration yesterday held out $10.5 million to bribe states into turning freeways into toll roads through...

Having been a CV driver for such a short time, I'm looking for questions to ask a recruiter of same before signing on. Mightn't they be a bit different from questions one asks a big truck recruiter? Don't want to forget anything.

Haven't seen it mentioned here, but have you noticed that Pilot/Flying J is advertising both cards/both places? The 15.1 gallons still gets 1/2 shower. Have yet to try it at a Pilot.
