    So what was the outcome? Did you all vote to wire up each house or just leave the one phone down at the corner?

    October banter and locations.

    Saw one sit for 2 days this weekend at the J in Beloit...3 spots over from the front doors, long Sprinter tail hanging out in the way. My guess is it's to pick up the free wifi.

    Are you worth your weight in gold?

    If I was worth my weight in gold.....I wouldn't be expediting anymore.

    October banter and locations.

    Any race fans that find themselves near Rockford IL with free time....highly recommend Rockford Speedway. Great show last night and again today. If your a vanner, you can park there overnight too. Big trucks, there is a big Menards lot across the street and a big Meijer just up the road. Great fun.

    Cargo Van use of BLIZZAK tires on vans in winter

    Once you get above 50F...winter tires will wear very quickly. Take a load to Laredo with them on and they will wear like butter in a microwave.

    Raised roof & back door cargo vans?

    Try asking the places that do the handicap vans. Although...they'll want to sell you a new van likely.

    I'd be scared of a bee that can keep up from IN to Iowa to NY.

    Stand or Kneel ? Unmoderated

    This also is the cause of a lot of friction. What does the "cloth" represent to an individual? If I felt my flag represented the current state of the government here in Canada....it wouldn't fly outside my home. To me, it represents something else...certainly not political...something I'm damn...

    Stand or Kneel ? Unmoderated

    Therin lies the rub on a LOT of things these days. People want to protest, act a certain way or do whatever the hell they want....and then shriek with some kind of moral superiority or victimization when somone else doesn't like it or agree with it. Now...instead of dealing with consequences of...

    LONGEST PAID DEADHEAD MILES.?

    Guess it also depends on what you consider your "loaded" rate to be....and maybe how picky you are or aren't at accepting loads....so ya..every load is different. Also agree with Jon, if a customer wants your company in particular to haul thier freight, they have to pay whatever your terms are...

    LONGEST PAID DEADHEAD MILES.?

    My carrier seems to treat DH to pickup as loaded miles pricewise....don't know if it is a policy or it just works out that way. 100 to 300 is not uncommon...and my max was I think around 600 once. They also seem to be able to get some $ for DH out of a bad area after a load...not premium...

    Stand or Kneel ? Unmoderated

    You stand....period. At many times in my life I have been diismayed, upset and furiously angry with governments and government agencies....on both sides of the border. And whether I am at a hockey game in Toronto or a NASCAR race in Tennessee....when it's anthem time I stand up. The anthem...
