You've got chicken lights on your wheel chocks - admit it! I always wanted to put a train horn on the cargo van, lol, but the big googly eyes [in the 0's of the 800 phone number] were kind of fun, too. ;)

Why do people put lights on their houses [and shrubs, trees, fire hydrants] at Christmas? Because we can, lol.

Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar??

Are you gonna be a slave driver, or what? <ducks> ;) I'm gonna hold off one more day, and come up on Friday, because my cellphone has not arrived either. It's the first time I've ever lost one, and I picked the worst place on earth to do it, because nobody at the Charlotte airport knows nothin...

First: until they were found to have killed several women, these 'scum' were just sex offenders, and a civilized society doesn't throw people in a deep, dark, damp, dungeon and lose the keys for that. [Unless it was a truly atrocious crime.] Second: cutting off the ankle bracelets to indulge...

Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? Well, all who are 'manly men', anyway.

The BOL is as much for the shipper & consignee's protection as the driver's, because not every load is reported to the carrier prior to leaving the shipper, and not every 'carrier' can be readily identified in the event of an accident, either. If the freight winds up spilled on the road, various...

Thanks - and that's thrifty, not needy, lol. I could pay for a taxi, just don't wanna. Don't mind paying a bored expedite driver, though. :D

I'm improving my chances of avoiding taxi fare, by offering $20 to whomever could give me a ride tomorrow afternoon, from the Mega Bus stop [Warren & Cass Rds, by the bookstore] to the yard, around 2-230. Just because the Mega Bus is mega cheap [Cleveland to Detroit: $10! With free wifi!! On a...

If you prefer staying at places upscale enough to have a security person, [I've been called by the front desk for a 'problem', but never 'security', lol] then Corporate Lodging is the way to go. You don't pay the hotel, CLC does, so no need to hand over your bank/credit info.

The two largest areas where trimming expenses is possible are the fuel for the truck, and for the driver. For the truck, get a generator - it will pay for itself in time. Remove the [exterior] visor if you wish, but pay more attention to how you drive, too. There's a way to conserve fuel [slow...

My experience agrees with Hightech_Hobo: the Norcold is more money and hassle than the ones available at Lowe's. Especially if you want a proper freezer, which I definitely do. Trying to get a Norcold repaired can waste a lot of time, while a less expensive fridge can be replaced in a couple...

Do you need to be told that engaging in personal attacks and name calling is the wrong way to participate in a discussion? Apparently so, as there isn't anything in this comment beyond the usual scorn for my point of view, which is hardly conclusive proof that it's wrong. If you have something...

What's interesting isn't the increased emergency room visits [a misleading statistic, as it doesn't say how many were needless visits], but the number of people being prescribed sleeping pills. Particularly people who are already on other medications, which is where the trouble lies: combining...

The main thing wrong with that thinking [besides the fact that the last two points are completely irrelevant] is how welfare is viewed as a benefit for [mostly] unappreciative and [often] undeserving people, rather than a boon for already wealthy corporations and people. Top Ten Examples of...

Exactly. When the shipper left me waiting for several hours, I advised dispatch that I no longer had hours to deliver direct, and after consultation with the customer, I was forced to crossdock at a halfway point. The shipper's 'problem' cost me money, and it happens too often. In a CMV, the...

Congrats to Linda & Bob, who make most of us look [and feel] like slackers. We love you anyhow, lol.

When my nephew died unexpectedly, in another state, it was entirely up to the family to deal with making arrangements. I flew to Indy to drive his car home, and had to pay for having it impounded and 5 days storage, too. You'd think there'd be a compassionate waiver of fees in the case of a...

This is what happens when some people don't like what other people are: After gay wedding on TV, Ypsilanti Township woman attacked, knocked out | Detroit Free Press | freep.com Ever read about gays beating up heterosexual women?

It sure describes a lot of guys I've dated, and if they were bisexual they didn't mention it, lol. There are those people in every group, though, hetero, homo, and bi, who are only interested in sex. Most change as they mature, and realize that superficial sex is not worth the negative...
