Because you'll be subject to HOS rules, you can each drive 11 hours before needing to log 10 in the sleeper. As a solo, you might claim to have slept in the truckstop lounge, on the grass, etc, [theoretically, no one can prove you didn't] but as a team, it won't fly. Unless you can show a place...

It's not an easy song, and those who mess it up usually do so by making it even harder [stretching notes, changing pitch, adding tremelo & warbles] as this poor girl did. Criticism is a valuable and necessary component of learning, but it should be judicious when it is aimed at kids, especially...

The "incensed NJ sheriff" in the story is Passaic County Sheriff Jerry Speziale, who was incensed because "law enforcement is all about supporting each other". This man is a disgrace, and ought to be stripped of his position AND required to refund all monies received from taxpayers who elected...

My thanks too, to Tom & Tina and Rodney & Sindy for making us all look better. :D

Hmmmm - the big trucking companies say that urine tests are too easy to cheat, but the statistics say that trucking accidents have been steadily decreasing, so how can stricter drug tests be justified? Because if people are cheating the tests in significant numbers, it isn't causing more...

Can't believe I didn't see you or Terry O - but I did get to hug Leo, which always makes me smile. I saw Jammin Jim's request to meet at the EO booth a little too late [this afternoon, lol], we should plan it in advance next year, with a couple 'meeting' times to catch more people.

Really? You think the dozens of signatures of American veterans should be scrubbed off? Cause I think it's one of the best looking trucks on the road, myself.

My favorite Expo moment: the tiny woman signing the top of Susie's 'Tribute to American Vets' truck. Despite having had surgery recently, the woman climbed to the top to add her name, rank, and unit - because a full Colonel outranks every one else, lol. [Except a General - Susie hasn't found one...

What NAN didn't say about the moving bulkhead [it would have been clear in a vid, though] is that the passenger side contains a sofabed, and if he could have got that vid when Susie was sitting on it and the demo guy flicked a switch and the sofa slid forward.....priceless! :eek: Moot: you wanna...

Just a clarification, Pilgrim: Sandusky's acts were not homosexual, but pedophilia - there's a difference. Pedophiles are sexually attracted to children. Both coaches and priests find the available children are all boys, but what matters is that they're children. Homosexuals are not pedophiles...

OMG - Brisco disagrees with me?! Well, I never! Actually, this time, I didn't - what I said was that it's a trucking Expo to those OUTSIDE the industry, cause they don't know how we're different from trucking in general. [And better, and cooler, blah blah blah]. Tell ya what: you show up, and...

Last time I weighed in, I swore off chocolate, with or without the cream puffs. I'm really glad they won't have Cuban sandwiches, either. ;)

ATeam's post reminds me that once, I wuz robbed: got fuel, pulled forward, went inside for receipt, [that "i before e" rule is usually WRONG, lol], came back out to find the fuel cap missing from the truck. And I got graffiti'd too [though nothing like the damage Phil suffered] when some...

It's an Expedite Exposition, but to those outside the industry, it's another truck show like MATS [Mid America Truck Show] in Louisville, GATS [Great American Truck Show] in Dallas, etc. I prefer this one for the same reason I prefer driving a straight truck [over a tractor trailer]: it's not as...

I find I need a nap when it rains hard, lol. It just makes me suddenly sleepy - weird. :eek:

Same goes for 'mother': today, my younger [22 yr old] daughter called to ask my advice about something. She doesn't need it, and feels free to ignore it [as usual] but it's nice to be asked, anyhow. Far as I'm concerned, that's a reward for good parenting. ;)

I think it'd be perfect if I could just stay in one place - every time I find a great parking spot, I have to go somewhere else. ;)

I certainly don't claim that all child support is reasonably set, or wisely spent - there are lowlifes in every category of people, including mothers. I just get tired of the guys who think all women get a great deal on child support, cause that aint true either. Good people aren't good because...
