My application to Operation Roger is still pending - they're very thorough in vetting [sorry!] drivers they entrust with other people's pets - as Leo's story shows, those pets are irreplaceable. Susie doesn't get on here much, but I'll direct her attention to this post, and hope the folks at OR...

I always thought it was funny when folks thought the member Bryan [Brenda Ryan] was a guy, especially because she was pretty knowledgeable about diesel trucks - but I thought it was absolutely hilarious when one of her Truck Topic posts was followed by the comment "Sir, I salute you!" Sir is...

New logo on his sigline :)

If memory serves, [a big 'if'!], zsazsas are foliage plants with opposing pairs of narrow leaves [like ferns], valued for their neat & compact growth. I think the hardest part of leaving the home I shared with the ex for almost 20 years was the plants I'd put so much time and work into - I moved...

On the rare occasions the paid miles are short enough of the actual miles that I'd question dispatch [not @ Load 1], that's the answer I always got "It's what the customer paid." Ditto for lengthy toll roads and detention times - customer won't pay, too bad, you lose. Um, if the customer paid...

Probly asleep, like the rest of us. I think I nodded off about 38 posts back. When I read this ^ I thought something interesting happened - hahaha. I'm going back to sleep now, these two can keep the Duel of the Century going for weeks without even agreeing on what it is they don't agree on...

I'm laughing with you, not at you, ok? Ignore the goobers, they can't help it - they're good guys when they're not being socially retarded, ok?;)

If you've ever wondered how truck drivers got the reputation for being always wrong, guys like this atty are to blame. Reading his descriptions of truck accidents, the misinformation is incredible: from 'no alcohol involved': 'semi trucks are huge. They are very difficult to control....their...

Juju, you might not want to give up on the home remedies just yet....[though nothing helps nerves - so sorry, Steve:(] This reminded me to Google 'muscle spasms' - I know it's from overuse [no cruise in construction zones] but maybe this time I'll find advice I like, right? The first one was...

My ex was very involved in the hot rod/muscle car thing, and a lot of the guys found that putting the "kid taking a whiz" [on the Ford or Chevy emblem] decal on their car was often followed by malicious vandalism to their beloved machine. It wasn't political, obviously, it was just ignorant, and...

E1 has cut rates to O/Os, and is now talking about offering more miles - sounds like the new motto will be "Drive more, make less." That may be good for the 'shareholders', but it's needlessly wearing on the vehicles and drivers. I'm sticking to the opposite plan, thanks.:)

If we're taking bets, my money's on Leeza. :D I would suggest following ATeam's advice, because it leaves you with an 'out' in case you don't want to stick with it, [the waiting for loads can drive some crazy], and leasing the routes would provide a cushion that adds to your comfort level -...

You've surely already figured out that teams are in great demand, so I'd suggest aiming for a solo in a S/T spot, planning to become a team after gaining the necessary knowledge regarding trucks, carriers, etc. If you 'can't afford to sink', both cargo vans and Sprinters seem riskier - the...

Wow - I've seen Olympic gymnasts who put less choreography into their routines! :eek:

Nobody forced them to sign a contract agreeing to find freight for independent contractors - they could hire employees instead. Funny how that [nobody forced you] response can work both ways, innit?
