    How Long Before This Happens Here.....

    I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible for you guys [and I mean that literally] to understand how it feels to be less strong, smart, and able than you guys. Like, if you can mow lawns & dig ditches, why can't everyone else? [Though I have to advise LOS to cross 'writing a web page' off...

    Figures and such

    It always amazed me that no one makes less than a babysitter - and no one does a job that matters more to a parent who is literally putting their child's life in the sitter's care. We have some seriously screwy priorities. If it's traditionally 'women's work', the pay is peanuts, guaranteed...

    How Big Was Your Raise This Year.....

    This is one of my pet peeves: when everyone else is getting a yearly raise, why aren't we getting rate increases, EVER?! Moot said it, back when Panther announced a new 'incentive' that actually cut pay: another incentive or two, and we'll be paying them to let us work. :(

    Placards on Vans

    When I needed to placard hazmat in the van, I used duct tape, it didn't harm anything coming off. DON'T use the 'self adhesive' on the placards - it sticks to the paint & has to be scraped off, usually.

    Finding a dentist

    You're joking, right? But I actually did it, and even though my dentist thought it was hilarious too, it worked! [Beats looking like any kind of redneck....]:D

    So you have a gun in your truck?

    Although I grew up around guns, and have been taught to use them safely, [and would definitely carry if it were allowed], my belief is that the right to bear arms is a critical part of the 'checks & balances' that keep any one part of government from amassing enough power to infringe upon each...

    How Long Before This Happens Here.....

    Game over? Maybe for this thread, but in reality, I think it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Tbub: nobody is making excuses for rioters - it's not acceptable, period. What some of us think some of you don't understand is that people have been dealing with no jobs, low paid...

    Anybody knows about KD Transportation

    Greenlight, they may have no one here, [I've never heard of them, myself]. You could try calling them to ask if they can give you contact info for some of their drivers - it's worth a phone call.....

    vanners: what's your fav truck stop?

    Using the shop @ TA is just as aggravating as the rewards card: they need all the info on you and the vehicle [engine brand/size. license plate, last 8 of the VIN, etc] even if you just want new wiper blades! They can't write it up without all the info, and they aren't connected to each other...

    Refrigerator

    Steve, were you using pumpernickel bread? Cause I don't think that ever goes bad.... I LOVE the fridge, and feel sorry for all those poor teams who have to keep the passenger seat for a codriver. :D It's an 'apt size', with a real freezer, and lots of space, and it's metal - I can stick stuff to...

    vanners: what's your fav truck stop?

    Pilot has coffee worth getting up for. [The Hook is supposed to have it too, but I don't think the employees are real picky about which kind they put in the urn.] Flying J has cheaper laundry facilities, and trees. WalMart has groceries and more stuff and lower prices. All depends on what you're...
