Um, no offense to CL, but anyone who didn't recognize that as typical of the 'stories' and warnings that folks love to forward in emails needs more coffee, or something. I never thought it was written by the OP - have seen way too many like it in my inbox [and I delete them - or sometimes, send...

Just want to say thanks to Shadow for pointing me in the direction of TruckandTow, where I got a couple good load bars at a reasonable price - sure didn't want to have those shipped, lol. :) Picking up @ 2200 for somewhere in Indiana, hoping it's not raining there - feels claustrophobic, keeping...

Or woman. [sorry - couldn't resist poking!] :p We all depend on each other to do each part of the job well, so we can all make those 'dollas' [in TJP's inimitable phrase.] We work best when we work together. :)

Would I consider it? And give up my 'everything including the kitchen sink' truck? Not a chance, lol - I spent a couple years driving a van, and it's too small for my comfort level. Besides, I'm pretty short [I prefer 'petite', but it doesn't fool anyone, sigh], so I really love being up high &...

And there's the crucial difference between you & her: you believe God can do it, she says he is doing it. [Well, her husband does, and she believes him.] It's like the crazies who insist that God is punishing us with hurricanes & AIDS - anyone who believes they know what God is doing is just not...

You can think it lame if you wish, but unfounded it is not. Personally, just the fact that she believes that sexual orientation can be changed by means of prayer is all I need to know - that's wishful thinking, not rational thought. If that doesn't work for you, there are plenty of other...

Every carrier is a 'mixed bag', with positives and negatives. If there were just one that everyone thought perfect, the rest would not last long, right? We all have different 'pet peeves', so the carrier for you is the one that doesn't commit what you consider mortal sins. You'll have to accept...

I'm thinkin if your CB reverses to PA broadcast, you could have a 5-10 second tape of crash sounds to play when being ignored at the dock. Then you sit there looking around when the forklift shows up, like you don't know where it came from, either, lol. ;)

It occurred to me that Mac [and others] would enjoy hearing about my first ever pickup as a solo in a T/T, when the dock was so far above my skill level that I had to pick my eyeballs up off the ground after I saw what I needed to do. Inside the building, the assigned dock was between the brick...

Mac: I apologize for hijacking your thread - it wasn't intentional, and you're welcome to return the favor when I start a thread, ok? The tip Phil asked me to repost is about backing a trailer that is connected to the power unit, not a S/T. It was hard for me at first, because you need to turn...

We all might not get sucked into the spam if we noticed the first question was about 'a bill going through Congress' to require something that's been required for many years already, :confused: and the second was on an issue not even remotely related to expediting, eh? :rolleyes: Slow & steady...

You're quite welcome. I'm feeling generous, because it's been such a long time since there was even ONE presidential candidate who wasn't either a moron [that would be Bachmann] or just more of the same [type/philosophy] that got the US into the sorry mess we're in [that'd be the rest of them.]...

Blizzard gives good advice, him. I'd only add [not to anyone specific, but newbies in general] don't abuse the power to shut down for hazardous conditions. Including anything that seriously impairs visibility, like very thick fog or blizzardy snow, or extremely high winds, or torrential rain...

Of the Repubs currently running, he is the only one whose views are correct, IMO. Bachmann is a fruitcake, Perry is a slimy hypocritical politician like we've seen too many of already, and not even a country that elected a black Democrat President can seriously consider electing a man named...

The fact that the interviewer gets more attention and comments than the candidate says a lot about the abysmal state of politics today, IMO. I like Dr Paul better than any candidate I've seen in a very long time - he'd stand out even if his competition weren't the nutcases and retreads they...

Anyone who has listened to a CB in the past 10 years....

Oh, that'll make him feel better.....:rolleyes: ATeam is right, if you can find an aid that works, it makes it much easier. I had a world of trouble backing the 53 ft trailer, just couldn't get the hang of steering in the opposite direction - until I changed my focus from the top of the steering...
