Weave, you hit it on the head. Part of me has to quote Ben Franklin when he says, "If you give up freedom for security you get neither." I do see our freedoms dwindling in certain areas. But as far as going to the airport or getting a hazmat endorsement, there's no question... they did the right...

RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F On a short point, it never seems to be a truce to Tom, but rather your terms of surrender. Freespirit has a 100% valid point. Labels on this board do nothing but say "I am better than you", "I know more than you", "I have more trucks than you"...

RE: So, just how muck of your revenue goes to the Leo... haven't started teaming yet. We're stuck in the repair phase at the moment. We're planning to get as close to 50/50 as we can. I think we'll figure who paid for how many gallons and divide the surcharge according to that percentage. If we...

RE: So, just how muck of your revenue goes to the Here's what my co and I are doing as soon as the truck decides to stop breaking down... We are paying ourselves 60%, and ONLY fuel is coming out of that. Tolls, oil changes, repairs, tires, and everything else truck related comes out of the 40%...

If they get Matt Hasslebeck, I'll put my money on them ;) That isn't gonna happen tho... so my faith (never money) goes with the luckless and fateless birds btw... we're looking at rigmaster, but the financing ppl were jerks. My co-driver has immaculate credit, and they asked him 20...

Ateam gives good advice here. It's important to look in the archives, especially when researching particular companies. Any questions not answered there could be answered in open forum, as most veterans of the business have experience with the major companies. Here's a suggestion of how I would...

Geo... how much do proheats cost, and how many btus do they put out? Thanx

One thing that people have to remember. The first amendment guarantees free speech as far as the government goes. You can say what you want, within sanity, and they can't do anything to you. It doesn't apply here. My favorite example is Rush saying... we're living in a democracy, but my show is...

6, you hit the nail on the head. Don't do it! Just don't do it! If you have $20,000 don't buy a $20,000 truck. Don't do like I did either... buy a truck counting on it lasting a good long time, and having no money to boot. HAHAHA Where's my skateboard? I need to find a driver for it. :+...

Thank You!

You said it, 6. Don't you miss the "evil" Raiders of the 70s and 80s? Back then, the Seahawks were usually the practice dummies for the Raiders' dirty tactics. They'd slug someone, then take a dive when the other hit back. What pansies. LOL

Chaz, I've only read one thread that had ASAP in it. Check #2506 in the archives.

Redytrk, I like your idea on the two locks. What do you do if you're frozen out of your truck? I carry one of those tiny lock de-icers. Tis the season for a zippo too :D

Back in 96/97, my co-driver and I were crazy over a small fridge that just became an option in an FL70. Nowadays, if it doesn't have enough room to fit your local mall's metroplex theatre, it's not big enough. I understand the want for more room... especially for teams who are out 80% of the...

Ateam... it's bad enough you gotta talk about deducting your q-tips. Don't talk about itemizing your toilet paper, PLEEEEZE!!!

Pilot might as well charge you to park... they're a ripoff on everything else. I think that TA that charged us was in PA. There are plenty of others in New England and New York that charge. If I remember correctly, one charged $7 in Massachusetts, but that was about 8 years ago. I'm sure that's...

On expeditenow.com (EO's sister site), I ran across an article called Injuries: How to Avoid Them. It tells you the best ways to alleviate your joint pains. Hope it helps.

My father-in-law told me that if someone asks for money for food, tell them you'll buy them something to eat. The drunks and druggies always take off after that.

That's a poor attitude to take, Truckerbuddy. You seem to want everything to be so easy. What's life without a few risks? All they're telling us is that you hafta be right with the paperwork coming here, or you can forget your Vegas vacation. Don't need to go to Vegas anyways... not like you...

I wondered about moving the seat frame back. Thanx for everyone's advice. Next truck I get is going to be either automatic or something with that extra 6" of leg room.
