Did you have Luca Brasi with you? :D

You, sir, are a lucky man to have had a dad like that. My father-in-law was like that; unfortunately I wasn't raised that way. My wife still wishes I was handy around the house, but unfortunately I'm not :( Sent from my VM670 using EO Forums

This thread reminds me of the sitcom "Frasier". Both sons are eminent psychiatrists; neither has a quarter of the common sense their father has. Of course, the dad could not have survived 30 years on a big-city police force without at least a smidgen of common sense.... As for IQ, mine is 142...

Agreed! Never thought about it before, but I like Pennsylvania's split system: The DMV is for driver licensing, while tags are bought from notaries. You can get most any regular tag, do registration work, etc. Transfers happen immediately. Titles are still mailed from Harrisburg, as well as...

I wouldn't. Most RVs are over 10K GVW. Who wants to log, scale, etc. for one skid? :p Enjoy your retirement, Monty! :) :) :)

Moose, I'm not 100% convinced about this. Truckers leaving big rigs in droves just to avoid EOBRs? They'll have to adapt to being much more confined in a van than they ever were in a truck-with-sleeper, and they'll have to get used to not moving for days at a time. Plus, they will still have...

Here's a couple time-tested tactics: Rolling roadblocks. Take up all lanes and drive just fast enough that you don't run afoul of minimum speed laws. This'll save you a shekel or two at the pumps also. Obey HOS to the nanosecond. If you're out of hours, pull over immediately. This may take a...

You are correct; no-one deserves to be publicly ridiculed. However, this isn't the first time someone has posted a run-on post and left us readers to decipher his or her meaning. I'm just saying that it's a lot easier to read a post, and perhaps offer good advice to the poster, if you can...

I didn't catch a personal insult in that post. However, AMonger is correct in stating that the OP's questions, as posted, would make a lot more sense if he used some semblance of proper pronunciation. Now, we're all truck drivers here; I don't expect anyone to be English-teacher perfect in their...

Lord, strengthen Leo in what he has to do. And Leo, to quote the great Irish philosopher Paul Hewson (aka Bono): "Don't let the b*****ds grind you down". That is all.

Woulda lost $20 but USAA, my credit card issuer, took care of it :)

I shudder to think what would've happened if the crew hadn't done their pretrip :(

Lower driver's side corner: 1 GPS, 2 PA inspection stickers (safety and emissions) and a PA weight class sticker; Upper corner on same side: 1 oil change sticker, 1 small calendar; Upper middle: EZPass transponder. None of these are in my line of sight and all are outside the critical area...

**** right! That's a 100% scam right there! Ask me how I know .... Sent from my VM670 using EO Forums

And a slinky blonde. If you are married, your current wife is a recommended substitute; it will be easier to pay for the convertible without having to worry about alimony ;)

Shows how little I know. I thought "forced dispatch" meant being sent from the Bronx to Boston. On a rainy Friday. Deadheading from Elkton, MD. With crappy pay and nothing extra for tolls. :(

As are speed limiters on goods vehicles, usually set to 90 kph (56 mph). BTW, their CDL starts at 3.5 tonnes (7700 lbs) :o Sent from my VM670 using EO Forums

That would work :)
