MissKat: I would adore joining you there for brunch [I know you're headed that way], but Load 1 doesn't get me to Fl, ever. Never, ever, sigh. :(

The only time I eat pancakes is when I go to DeLeon Springs, Fl, with my daughter & the grands, where the restaurant has griddles in the tables, and they supply the batter and the mixins, and you make whatever you like. It's weird, but I can't eat anything sweet when I'm hungry, so my idea of...

Truck-maker CAT flogs smartphone spawn to butter-fingered fondlers ? The Register It's not available yet, but I'll be watching for it. ;)

India: with my Verizon [dumb] phone, adding the letter P includes a pause between numbers, as for a menu option. You can put several in the same number, if needed.

Gots no freight! Will probably have to DH to L'ville, or give up on ziplining tomorrow. :(

Just rolled south on 75 from Toledo to Bowling Green, and the wind gusts are scary! :eek: At least it quit snowing.....

It's hard to say, because whatever it is, it won't be a brand new truck. Other factors are more important, [automatic transmission, because my knee can't take the clutch action anymore] so the sleeper size will be whatever is on the right truck, when the time comes. O - this one is an 86 Bentz...

People who post things simply to get [and take pleasure from] outraged replies are commonly referred to as trolls, and trolls are generally despised. [Except by adolescent males residing in the parental basement, typing for the glee of their troll friends.] Also, 'Wolverine', people type with a...

Moose: you might be the only person in the country who makes Pan-Cacks, lol. But maybe not - what are they? :o

Webbly: CIS is great for liability insurance, and if you want life insurance, OOIDA has a good plan.

Kool aid drinker!

I don't pull over for funeral processions out of respect for the dead, but out of compassion for the grieving family accompanying their loved one for the last time. As John Elliot noted, the family takes some consolation in such gestures of our common humanity. It's just following the Golden...

So here's some useful jibber: pick up a copy of "The Next Exit" [$15 at truckstop or bookstore], it's well worth it. A list of everything [food, motels, fuel, & 'other' [stores, mostly] at every exit on every interstate in the lower 48. Includes rest areas [by mile marker] and weigh stations...

Not everyone, Zorry - some were saying it before that....;) Just kidding! I like the 'paid training' aspect, kind of like an internship. Only I'd add that one expecting to do it that way needs to ensure that the fleet owner is willing to mentor, because some are more hands-off than others. Just...

Cripes - 2 in as many weeks. TBCabs/Danny [E1] and Nick [Try Hours]. It's a sad time for all of us right now. I hate losing people. :(

Nurturing, huh? When I began nursing, I thought everybody needed nurturing - after a few years, I thought most of them needed leather restraints & a shot of Prozac. Who'da thunk truck drivers would be a good influence on me? ;)

He's just trying to yank some chains, don't encourage him. :rolleyes:

It's halfway through: post 36. One of Bruno/Dave Mayfield's new teams provided yet another reason for fleet owners to be really leery of new drivers.

The caves will still be there next year, and you'll have the advantage that I [usually] prefer in an unknown situation: "you first!" lol. ;)

Identical, the way I do it: amateur hour, lol. :o
