Oh, the answer is known, and Paullud & Turtle posted it. What's typical is that it gets argued anyhow. :rolleyes:

True dat! There are also some smart, experienced people who earned the snazzy truck with the blue fenders, [Tom & Tina's] so it can be done - just don't bite off more than you can chew too fast. As Turtle says: slow & steady wins. [Except when you arrive at the consignee at the same time as...

If one is minding the phone & computer while the other sleeps, who's driving? Seriously: if finding your own loads were that easy, most of us would be doing it. I don't think it would be such a breeze for someone with little to no experience in expediting. Plus, the multi carrier model works for...

It would be so nice to see, just for a change, the guilty parties penalized, and the rest of us left alone. :mad:

It's a little late to complain about it now, Zorry. :p

So how did it work out for them?:rolleyes:

I keep hearing the line about the states' rights, and the Federal government not following the Constitution, but I think the biggest problem is how we have let money buy legislators and legislation. It makes no difference what we, the people, want, when we are sold out. And I disagree on the...

I wear jeans, and if it's really, really cold, I'll wear pantyhose underneath. [About the only time I wear them anymore, lol]. I think flannel lined would be too warm, and too heavy to wash and dry. Mostly I drive barefoot, or sock feet. My shoes are always the kind that slip off, and I never...

Um - which side is "the majority"? Because it looks like we're ALL going to pay for it. But since when is that any different? I mean, don't we always want "the other guy" to pay for everything? We're all guilty of the NIMBY thing, aren't we?

Where did I say the states have no right to do it? I said it would be even more divisive than if the Feds do it, but you have to tell us [as always] about 'States rights'. That's not the question. It would be divisive, and that's why it's never been done. Not because the states have no right...

Sweet! Can I have the snazzy one with the blue fenders? Just kidding! But thanks for the vote of confidence, it means a lot. :o

You can try LDB or DaveKC's 'rehearsals', but I don't think it would really solve the biggest question: can you work through a disagreement without either causing mayhem, leaving one of you stranded, or dissolving the partnership as soon as you get home? Because there will be disagreements...

Then you might be surprised to find that adding cream [the real stuff], even if it's cold, helps to keep the coffee hot longer, because of the fat content. Just a bit of trivia that surprised me - doesn't help if you like black coffee, lol. I don't have a problem with it gradually getting cold...

Paullud said: "There is a Christian majority, so we are a Christian nation." That's what I'm talking about: the Christians feel they represent the entire populace - or should. If the majority were to shift, so that Muslims or Hindus became the majority, would that principle still hold? Yes, you...

Ok, am I the only one who finds something really odd about enjoying coffee so hot it burns your lips? Maybe I'm just worried about spilling it in my lap, lol. :eek: I like my plain old Mr Coffee, which heats water faster [and uses a lot less power] than the microwave. I use it to heat water for...

If you drive for an owner, there will be two contracts: one between the carrier [ie Panther] and the truck owner, and one between the truck owner and the driver. The first you need to be very familiar with, but it isn't one you can request or negotiate any changes in, because you aren't the...

Of course I'm serious - I don't have the muscle mass of the big guys, so when things are stuck, I 'nudge' them with what I used to [when I lived in Texas] call a Mexican tool kit. I don't tap the mirror, but the backside edge, and like I said, it wasn't the first time, it was just too cold & the...

Think of it like this: you're special. Entitled. Deserving of more. Like those folks who drive past a line of traffic to cut in at the front. Because waiting for your turn is for suckers, right? Whether we like it or not, it happens, it works - and it's still sleazy.

Also: don't attempt to adjust the west coast mirrors with a leeeetle tap of the hammer! On the other hand, I do have some nice new mirrors, now, with LED lights, lol. PS I'd 'adjusted' the mirrors before, guess they're more brittle when it's real cold. :o

Blah, blah, blah....You still pay taxes?
