    Where Were You On 9.11.2001 ?

    Aside from the rage we all felt at the death of innocents and innocence [for those who didn't believe we could be the terrorists' victims here at home], the hardest thing that day was NOT taking my 10 year old daughter out of school. I knew it was selfish, [but sometimes, that's appropriate]...

    new road atlas

    Meijer's in Ohio, too, just not enough of them. Reason I prefer The Next Exit above other methods is that it isn't limited to one subject [like apps]. It lists RV campgrounds, Blue Beacon truckwashes, drugstores, truck parts/repairs [Frieghtliner, Volvo, etc], Dodge/Mercedes dealers [for...

    How do you prepare for winter?

    Thanks Linder, for the Slushbuster reminder - new windshield. I wish they could be found other than online, where I have to pick them up next time I get home, but after a year of looking everywhere, I guess not. I always order 2 sets [to justify the s&h, they don't weigh as much as a canary]...

    September Banter & Location

    I was there today too - getting the APU fixed, again. [Not their fault, different problem]. Robert managed to fix the washer hose connection on the passenger side that's been squirting fluid up in the air for months, while everyplace I go doesn't have the part [but they'll order it for...

    Hello Expediters!

    Hi Jen, and welcome! It is good to see more involvement from another perspective here [and we need all the smart women we can get, lol]. :D

    So you have a gun in your truck?

    It would be legal - there is no Federal law prohibiting it, and a CCW good in all states takes care of the reciprocity issue. If you are leased to a carrier, though, it is quite probably prohibited by the lease [more likely as the carrier gets larger]. Most customers are posting prohibitions on...

    enabling or charity?

    LOS is right: there is way too much mooching masquerading as real need, and the fact that I [one of the biggest marshmallows ever, sigh] have a 'usual' reply ['If you're leading up to asking for money..."] is proof. I just hope it doesn't blind us to the real need that is out there, because it...

    Independent Reviews Of CDL Training Program

    Suggestions noted, and rejected on grounds of irrational response to facts in evidence. Every contradiction of yours I challenged, wrong attribution of words to me, incomprehensible logic: you ignored, or changed the subject to 'getting the thread back on track' - who do you think you're...

    Team not asking for much

    That reads like asking for a timeshare trade where you want a condo on the beach in return for a room at Motel 6, ok? I'm pretty sure you'll have all the time you need to reply to interested owners.....:rolleyes:

    Where Were You On 9.11.2001 ?

    At work, in Brook Park, Oh. The news of the plane downed in Pa made me NEED to talk to my older daughter, who had moved to SW Pa just 10 days earlier. I had to go home to get her new phone number, but the boss understood - everyone was just dazed by the shock. When I pulled in my driveway, the...

    The Myth Of Male Power

    I'd say the disparity in a field such as trucking can be attributed to the last bit of Turtle's statement - men often are in different jobs in trucking: flatbed and tankers. Both pay more, and require more than average strength [tarps and hoses/connections are freakin HEAVY], which discourages...

    American flag lowered in presence of saudi flag

    I'm thinking elementary school is a little young for 'shop' class, but then, if the unions are done away with, child labor may well make a comeback - they work REAL cheap. Just kidding, I hope.

    American flag lowered in presence of saudi flag

    You don't even need to click on the photo to see the American flag is on a broken staff! And I'd bet whomever placed it there had no idea that they were disrespecting it by making it appear to be inferior to the Saudi flag, either. Another opportunity for all the fake outrage some people can...

    enabling or charity?

    IMO, 'disabled vet' says all I need to hear to know it's not a scam to get money by begging [mooching!] instead of working. I almost never give money to the moochers, but just a couple weeks ago I was approached at the TA in Monroe. The man was well groomed, early 60's, and his story involved a...

    The Myth Of Male Power

    I don't know why women are exempt from the draft, [maybe because they are still the primary caregivers for infants & children?], but it wasn't my idea, so don't even try dumping it in my lap. As Diva pointed out, the wage gap still exists, and men are still earning more money. If I'm doing the...
