Hush your mouth, Snowstorm - I lived in the south for a lotta years, and always preferred it. Still do. :p I wouldn't have minded pulling over, either, because funerals are like handicap parking spaces: I am grateful that I don't have any right to take that spot. I still find it amazing that I...

New or not, running out of fuel for the second time in 4 hours, out of pure laziness and/or stupidity, is the kind of stupidity that ought to be criminal. We don't know why the OP ran out - there might even be a perfectly reasonable explanation - it could happen. Twice is like the quote about...

Because we're all much nicer to you in person than we are here? :confused: JK - we wouldn't tease Ken half so much if we didn't love him, and we always enjoy seeing him. This year, he'd enjoy seeing us, too, cause we're going ziplining!!! :eek:

Whether [or when] a carrier pays it's contractors is very often a 'he said/she said' situation, or a matter of disagreement, rather than outright fraud, so anyone not directly involved is generally wise to stay out of the disagreement. If you read the Mission Statement and Purpose on TEANA's...

Jay: 3 suggestions: 1 white [or Hawaiian] pizza - no tomatoes, really yummy! 2 Yellow tomatoes - tend to be much less acidic. 3 PM Jujubeans - she is planting some heirloom seeds in her gardens, too. When I had gardens, there were some heirloom varieties in nearly every catalog. :)

Split speed limits are worse than worthless, they're dangerous. They force the 4 wheelers to continuously pass slower trucks, which interrupts the smooth flow of traffic. When they can't pass as soon as they'd like, some drivers get impatient, and the lane changes are abrupt, even reckless. The...

Jay: it's too bad you suffer from an allergy to processed tomatoes, as they are much higher in lycopene, which is very beneficial to the immune system, but it's good that you found what triggers a response - many folks never consider food allergies at all. The problems they cause can be pretty...

The most visible color is the one used on school buses & taxis, [shudder] but it seriously clashes with the Load 1 logo, so no go. Yep: more lights! ;)

Is 'Dalr' a play on 'Dollas', or did you not notice you misspelled your own name? :p

Sugar Plum: if you think it's tough to survive now, [and I know it is], how much harder would it be if you were sued over an accident, and your insurance refused to cover you? Because you [or a dishonest carrier] tried to 'cut corners' by misrepresenting their actual insurance needs, and got...

Thanks, Tim, for the explanation. I wasn't annoyed, just confused. :o

Driving in Smyrna, Tn, yesterday, on a divided highway, when 5-6 vehicles ahead of me pulled off to the shoulder at the same time. Seeing no reason for it, I kept moving. Then I saw the funeral procession, on the other side of the median. I don't think the law requires drivers to pull over on a...

An excellent choice, IMO. Note to Sue: stock up on Excedrin - goes with the territory, lol. ;)

I'm glad you will continue to participate here - people who can write like that last sentence before "I will continue" are ALWAYS welcome, and we all learn from each other. :D

Two good suggestions: lower the replenishment [mine's at $40], and print out the list for reimbursement. If you don't have a printer on the road, you can do it at the library. I circle the pro number on my own paperwork if tolls were paid, so I can match pro numbers to tolls. Deduct any for...

Many well informed expediters love going to Fl, if they have family there, like my daughter, son in law [I like him, too!] and my granddaughters, for example. I know to avoid the Love's about now, having lived in Daytona for a few years - Bike Week, Spring Break, and Race Week are all nutso time...

Woke up this morning with GottaGo parked in front of me, and it reminded me of a couple things I like about Load 1: First, we are professional, but not cookie cutter conformist, and second, we have each other's backs, cause that's how we roll, and park, lol. I love the pink & purple logo -...

Are you solo or team? O/O, or drive for a fleet owner? Cargo van, Sprinter, straight truck, or T/T? Where do you live, and do you expect to get there pretty often? All these factors make a difference.

We learn more from our failures than successes, I think, but best of all is learning from someone else's failures, absolutely. Thanks for the alert, Dancorn. ;) PS Is it too loud even for earplugs and a white noise generator?
