Facing opposite directions, lol. ;)

Two things: 1: you don't need any military connections to bank with USAA. I like it because they offer free checking and savings accts, and reimburse all ATM fees. also, as Linda mentioned, the staff is a pleasure to deal with on the phone, should you ever need to. 2: Where on earth did you find...

See post #18.

It's what I've observed when going on YouTube to look for vids of trucks. Maybe because it seems that trucks are a 'guy thing', the suggested vids that run down the side of the screen are full of fights, and they get a LOT of views. So do the stupid pranks that appeal to adolescent males, but...

In Talladega, Al. It's not a race weekend, but I would advise anyone staying over nearly any weekend to avoid parking at the 'Race Track' truck stop. It gets full of RVers who party all night long. You won't get any sleep there at all, lol.

This is the first Expo [since they moved to Wilmington] I've missed. I took a load to Birmingham, Al, because how could I say no when I whine sometimes about being in Mi all the time? Besides, dispatch is pretty good at pulling rabbits out of headgear, and if not, I could always suck it up & DH...

Pandora: I bet if you take him by the [affected] hand, he'll follow along as docile as a little lamb, lol. If not, skip the drugs: just duct tape his mouth & then hogtie him. Ask for help toting his carcass on the CB, you'll get plenty of volunteers, lol. Or just do what wives usually do: nag...

My reply was meant for Big Bill, not K9 [who knows it already, I think.] And the reasons why drivers 'let' carriers cheat them is mainly because it's well hidden - they have no idea of the layers between shipper & consignee, or the ownership of some of those layers. Investigating the issue may...

Don't let the cargo van fool you, because Moot always does the job and then some, because he is a professional. Panther doesn't deserve him, but his quirky humor keeps him there anyhow. And the rest of us get to laugh about embracing the stupidity, instead of living with it, so it's all good. :D

Reminds me of the 'weekends off' when I drove t/t. Officially began when picking up a load on Sat [for Mon am delivery] 200 miles from home, and ended Sun evening, when leaving to make the morning delivery. Most of Sunday was spent sleeping, while the time after arrival home Sat afternoon was...

Spongebox: I agree that it's time for a real diagnosis, and think the provider locator that Humble linked is a good place to start. If they want to do an EMG [electromyelogram] to determine the amount of nerve damage, don't let the "needles & electricity" description scare you - it's not as bad...

Spongebox: Humble made a very good point: surgery is not likely to help, as it may seem to fix the problem in the short term, but the scar tissue that it creates [inside] will make it much worse when it recurs - and it usually does. I have trigger finger on both hands, just the middle fingers. I...

Mj: the Sterling I drive is a 33,000 2 axle truck, max load wt 13,000, [though I rarely get close to max wt] and it's been doing fine for more than 3 years now. I watch the signs: if it specifies 3 axles or more [Ca, Tn, NC, Atlanta loop], I can be in the left lane, though I try not to. It seems...

I don't believe arthritis would happen suddenly [acute] like you describe, it's more a gradual [chronic] pain that never goes away completely, and gets worse with time. It sounds to me like a repetitive motion type of pain, either temporary [like the leg cramps I get sometimes] or permanent...

If the moron in that vid wasn't arrested, it's because the law wouldn't allow it - you know, the actual letter of the law? I'm guessing it has something to do with not preempting something that hasn't actually been done - but I don't know. Maybe the law decided that the offer doesn't count...

The law has been served - justice was not. I can live with the verdict, because it's better the guilty go free than the innocent do not, but living with it includes discussing it - if that doesn't suit you, then butt out.

Whoever offered anything at all for his "capture" should be captured themselves and jailed.

Like I said: fights are one of the most popular categories on YouTube, with thousands of them getting tens of thousands of views. I don't understand the appeal, but then I don't understand why teenagers like horror/gore/slasher movies, and stupid "practical jokes" [where people can get hurt]...

I can see where it's not always funny when it's your phone, but the auto correct website is freakin hilarious! And we need laughter - really, we do. So - any of the good auto corrects yours? ;)
