Expedite is a very different kind of trucking from OTR, and research is important to know what the differences are - start with the FAQ on the Newbies Forum. And welcome to EO! :D

Anyone who looks further than the screaming headlines knows that the "Stella" [hot coffee] case is a prime example of how corporate interests use PR to spin the story and blame the victim. Another proponent of tort reform are the big insurance companies, who engaged in rate wars to 'increase...

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y I found the red velvet cookies at Meijer, but I didn't eat any myself. [Because I kept some pumpkin roll, lol] :o Timmy's was closed - do they always close for holidays?

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Not here, calls from dispatch are announced just as I programmed it: "Call from Cookie Monsters" [Remember all the neat stuff at the grocery store I mentioned? Had to share the red velvet & cinnamon bun...

Only if you choose to load it with crap. ;)

Libra, welcome to EO. Please start your research by reading the FAQ in the Newbies Forum, there's a lot of answers to be found there.

I've been broke, out of work, with a kid, too - no wife, though [I'd have welcomed another adult to help out!]. The experience never made me believe "if I did it, you have no excuse", because I recognize that sometimes, it's just [for lack of a better word] luck that makes the difference...

That's one reason I rarely park at truckstops - it's hard to tell the truly needy from those who do it for a 'living' anymore. I've given food to some, but not cash. I donate to the Salvation Army [cash and goods] so I don't feel guilty.

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Better take a list, John - if you haven't been to a grocery in years, you'll be amazed at all the stuff that wasn't there last time. I can see how Steve got banned, lol.

Better sign me up for that sensitivity training too - I still feel bad for the injured & dead [and I worked with the survivors on the Trauma Unit long enough to know how the aftermath goes], but the longer I drive, the less I understand the impatient stupidity of some people. And DUI's just make...

The link is fine, and the only porn I see on facebook is food, lol. [Way too much of it, too!]

You know that cause you read it somewhere, right? ;) Seriously, it sounds like Microsoft's charging $100 for Windows 7 after they find how much people hate Windows 8. I guess that's the next tech advance: change a popular gadget/program/app, then charge people to return to the one that worked...

Re: Councilwoman to gang rapists: "What do you need from society to make better choic The post to which you responded was a comment on your previous post, which makes it relevant. Your response had nothing to do with anything said by anyone in this thread, beyond "whatever". Whether anyone...

Re: Councilwoman to gang rapists: "What do you need from society to make better choic That has what, exactly, to do with anything in this thread?

Re: Councilwoman to gang rapists: "What do you need from society to make better choic Citing just half the quote makes it appear that the Councilwoman was trying to find excuses for the atrocity committed, but I don't think that was her intent at all. No sane person would find ANY excuse for...

Ya think? :rolleyes: There will never be another New Orleans, though. It was one of the few unique cities in the US, and while Katrina didn't damage the French Quarter, it is different than it was before. Probably better in some ways, and still unique, but not the same city it was.

When I saw the photo of N.O. on the front page of the USA Today morning paper, I stood on the sidewalk and just cried. I'd lived there for a couple years, and had no way of knowing if any of the dead were friends. [As far as I know, none were, but there are a couple I never did find]. When I saw...

Which part of "reputable doctor" did you miss? There are scum in every profession. And there are parents with very energetic kids, and capable doctors [and teachers] can tell the difference. Even when the parents don't want to hear it.

I always thought Irish Setters are just dumb - beautiful, but not too smart. Chihuahuas, on the other hand, are frequently known to go gonzo. ;)

The misconception to which I refer had zero to do with the difference between boys & girls. Nada. And those differences have zero to do with the subject, either. And I seriously doubt any of those random thoughts that kept my granddaughter from completing tasks would have led to a cure for...
