Tell them you want to be in the Annex [separate building], it's got a nice atrium full of greenery, and a babbling brook, and I really like that the room doors are French [floor to ceiling glass]. It's a different kind of motel! :D

After reading the linked Memo, I have to say that the OP's interpretation [and subsequent comments] are totally off the wall. The goal is to allow states [which actually distribute welfare funds] to do whatever works to reduce dependency on welfare and children outside of marriage. As nearly...

Thanks - but I'm thinkin if you need to plagiarize [or borrow] a suicide note, you're probably not really ready to go, lol. ;)

You're presuming some things are fact that may be entirely in your head. "Realized he wasn't a very good business person"? "Knowing he was going to keep their [drivers] money"? You know no such things, and accusing the man of it on a public forum is not the brightest thing you could do. Because...

Going home tomorrow?! Wow - he must have had the 'keyhole' [laparoscopy] surgery. I had the older kind, with a scar from front to back - and they removed the lowest rib, too. [I asked if they'd take out one on the other side as well so I wouldn't be lopsided, but they just laughed. I hate...

Plans have snagged - can't find pompoms that suit OVM's persnickity sartorial demands. :rolleyes:

STOP WRITING!!!! Remember 'even a broken clock is right twice a day' and 'even a blind squirrel finds a nut now & then'? See, you haven't lost your mind, [good thing, as I agreed with him too - in fact, I said much the same first, right?] The OP is right to be angry, but wrong in assuming that...

You might be an [exceptional] expediter if: you know why Ragman is a treasure. :o

Those tips might help spot a regular person who doesn't lie often, but when it comes to practiced sociopaths [like Casey Anthony], the rules don't apply. Life would be so much easier if psychos had some telltale signs, but they LOOK just like the rest of us. Until they kill you, I mean. :eek:

I've also done the nephrectomy [kidney removal] thing, so I know how Scott feels - food isn't a priority, lol. Good pain control is - hope he's getting it, so he'll get back on his feet quickly. If you're reading this, Scott: be nice to the nurses, they have the keys to the pain meds. ;)

True - and they will never be eliminated entirely, just isn't gonna happen. The best we can do is educate drivers, and remind them frequently, because it's human nature to relax when nothing bad has happened, yet.

FMCSA's conclusions are as flawed as the reasoning used to support them. For example, their point in #1 is that ensuring compliance with HOS will reduce fatigue - not even remotely true. HOS are a one size fits all that was pushed [and probably written] by the 'big players': ATA. It does not...

I've never been impressed by the US auto industry, with it's myopic leadership & misguided priorities, but for the people who will be returning to productive employment, it is very welcome news. Even cargo vans will benefit - how sweet is that? Whatever the reason, for however long it lasts, it...

That explains the confident "not again" post, lol. ;) I'm near Nashville, where it's raining. Still.

Should HAVE. :rolleyes:

Thanks, Xiggi - you're a peach. [No matter what the other guys say!] ;)

A tour bus driver is qualified to own an expediting business the same way anyone [including you] is: he decided to do it. Odds are he had the best intentions, but it just went south - it happens. If he has good character, he will try to pay everyone, if not, then you learn from your mistake...

Look for a parking spot facing west so the sun won't wake you in the morning. Remember to close the Fantastic Fan only after driving into a rainstorm - 2 hours after starting the drive. Whack your head on the top bunk when sitting on the bottom, cause you forgot you put it down to get something...

WVC: if you expect OOIDA to intervene in every carrier vs O/O dispute, how much will they have left to intervene in disputes between us and the federal agency that makes unreasonable regulations that we must obey? Because that's what they do with the money, and I'm all for it. If I had a carrier...

Welcome to EO! I'm just curious: could you not find any more recent info on the subject, or did you just not notice that the thread is 8 years old? :rolleyes: PS Don't bother letting the above posters know if you find anything, [though others might be interested], because they have been gone for...
