Thanks, Nick, for good directions to Quick Fuel. I'm looking forward to using the wash bay, AND getting wet while doing it! [Long as it's summer] :D

Hey Moot - glad to see you survived the Boundary Waters [and the bonding with the guys, lol]. What Mn calls 'the zipper merge' is exactly what I described: use both lanes to merge point, then take your turn. It works! I just didn't know there's a technical name for it. :rolleyes:

Negative feedback? Yep, from the women who never hear their husbands refer to them that way [or any flattering way], and men who don't value their wife because she isn't some 'ideal' of 'attractive'. If more husbands and wives valued each other [esp in public] as this preacher does, I bet...

Why is the expectation of being treated as a professional [including sharing the profit generated] a 'union mentality'? When a carrier lowers rates with the explanation 'hard times, sorry', shouldn't contractors expect the rates to go up again when times are clearly better, and the carrier is...

It worked very well - no one could get ahead of more than one vehicle, trucks had the same turn as 4 wheelers, and it was pretty smooth. It's a lot harder to 'cheat' than the usual 'honor' system....Like a 4 way stop - they go pretty well, in spite of the odd moron who can't wait his turn.

There is a simple way to do it that eliminates the chaos and the satisfaction of the selfish jerks who cruise to the front of the line [ seriously: would they have the guts to do it on foot, like in the grocery store?:mad:] "Use both lanes to merge point, then take your turn." I've only seen it...

And John Ratzenberger was the voice of Mr Potato Head. :rolleyes: [Another glaring error in the mag.] Nick and Jenny are doing a lot to make van drivers look like the professionals so many are, but don't always get credit for being. [Much easier for sloppy vans to stay under the radar than...

That preacher is blessed himself, with the gift of imagination! It's nice to see such creativity in action. :D

Ragman: better to report the post [little warning sign across the top of the post]. If your reply quotes the offensive post, it just gets repeated, so yours has to be deleted [or possibly moved to the truckwash for review] along with the first one. Your comment was spot on, though. :)

The difference is that entertainers [most especially in the music industry] are rarely considered role models. It may be every kid's desire to be onstage, but it's not going to get the same approval from adults as say, a football scholarship. For every sports figure you cite, there are a hundred...

In a 4 wheeler, I always preferred manual, but this is a whole 'nother ballgame, lol. Having a repetitive motion injury is an everyday reminder of what happens [eventually] when you abuse your bendable parts beyond mfr's recommended use. We have to do it, but overdoing it will catch up with you...

Was a good load, until I arrived at the shipper. They asked for a pu#, called dispatch & got 2, shipper didn't recognize either, call again, they have to see what they can find out from the customer. About an hour later a guy comes out to the truck to say there is no number, the freight was...

Linder: Gotta go has one of the little ladder thingies that you place on the steer tire - maybe that would work?
