In all seriousness, if you need to ask, it ain't gonna work. Do both of you a favor and just abandon the idea entirely.

Dying of curiosity here ... where the heck is "upper maine"?

I think the OP's point was that he opposes the financial support of entities who enthusiastically exploit every opportunity to make a buck (read: "share a kickback") without true analytical consideration for individual requirements. My neck size and/or BMI DOES NOT automatically indicate my...

A food budget is a great idea, in terms of nutrition as well as expense. Due to the unpredictability of our business, though, you're better off budgeting flexible cost / calories rather than standard menu items. In other words, plan for eggs, ham, and toast three times this week - your eventual...

Is the rice cooker included?

I realize this is a resurrected 3 year old topic, but I've got to say - if I'm subjected to an inspection, I am NOT going to parse the Federal nomenclature and argue every nuance of the definition of "hazardous materials" with someone who has the power to ding my CSA and initiate substantial...

I'm astonished at how quickly and often some of you are able to post. Are you sure you guys drive for a living? :cool: So far, the only reasonable responses are to remove the pee smell from rest areas and physically wall off DC. Both have my vote. But I'm serious. And furious. Twenty-two...

The government has given you 22 million dollars to improve the quality of life for U.S. truckdrivers. What would you do with it? How would it best be spent?

I've read a lot about this recently (Google "aca fine tax refund"). If one is content continuing to pay cash for their health expenses, as we are, and able to carefully project their tax burden to avoid a refund situation, the law as currently written prevents the IRS from collecting that fine...

Someone mentioned Ziploc Zip n' Steam bags a long time ago, but I can't find the thread now. We used them all summer to steam up fresh veggies, whether to devour as is or use in a recipe (like steaming new potatoes for a fresh spinach and potato salad, or quickly blanching asparagus for a...

I just spewed Pepsi all over my tablet.

Get your hazmat endorsement. Having ours has moved us ahead of everyone else on the board countless times, because the other teams ahead of us didn't have theirs. A tanker endorsement is a good investment, too. Go here and do the tests over and over, until you know them by heart - then go get...

I think I'd give up CARB in exchange for a way to hold shipping / receiving accountable for dock delays, but the other two? LOS is right. And I'd rather ride with a newbie blessed with common sense and little experience than one with the opposite attributes.

Scary = the Atlanta Petro, the South Baltimore TA, and any truckstop within 50 miles of Memphis. South Dallas? Not so much for me. Of course, someone recently portrayed peaceful, bucolic Pembroke, NY as a den of violence and all things evil, so all venues are potential nightmares for someone, I...

Frank, are these numbers valid for tax year 2013?

What's feminizing about love and caring? I've been openly and unabashedly loved by a father, grandfathers, an uncle, and a brother. None were a threat to the American male, in fact, all were examples of complete and total traditional masculinity. Can you articulate your apparent casual and...

You drove for a living through the 50s and 60s? What are you, like 85 years old now? Phil, with all due respect, you seem bent on stirring the pot of discontent regarding the latest HOS changes - but to what end? Aren't you poised to abandon the business and open a yogurt shop or...

Travel. That's still one of the biggest pluses for me.

You were not who I was referring to with that comment, sir. You said he was "About 6' 4", 150LBS, medium dark skin black man, short hair. Wearing brown "scrub" type clothing. I did not notice his shoes." That, my fowl killing friend, is a typical description of an urban guy. So saith a...

Be grateful it wasn't a cattle truck. Shush. Life can be worse. Grow and learn.
