    And who told you that? There is something called a historical aspect of the Bible. I'm sure the Padre knows about that. It's the SPIRIT of the Bible that faith is based on, IMO; not historical fact.

    Don't let your passions consume you too much, there, Goodtude. Does this mean you're done with expediting, or that you're just taking a break? Either way, have fun with your fatbob (whatever that is) ;) Nevermind... I googled it. How are you gonna carry two skids on that thing? Is that what the...

    I think what the Padre is eluding to is the quashing of all religion in communist nations. While the libs are downplaying religion, unless you pray to the east, they are advocating a form of socialism that most European countries are part of. We're on a path to socialism, not communism...

    Since Hill-Billy has won FL and MI by default, what do you want to bet she uses the courts to try and get their delegates seated? She is as evil and underhanded as they come. Obama may be an Islamic operative. Who knows? And if so, will it be too late once it becomes clear? I think our only...

    Congratulations, FL! If McCain gets the nomination, we get the choice between a LIBERAL and a LIBERAL!!! Oh well... guess it's the baby-boomers wanting more government who voted him in. Seeing as Dems and Independants can't vote in the FL primary, that's all I can come up with. I'm depressed...

    Advice

    First off, I don't know of any companies, other than FXCC that REQUIRE you to have a hazmat endorsement. There may be some others; but many have dropped that requirement. I recommend you check out the hazmat thread here in the Newbies forum from a couple of days ago. Secondly... you said...

    TRY Hours Stright truck

    Mike... I think 75k miles per year is about right for a solo straight. A little more, or a little less, depending on what company you go with. Figure a gross of approx 100k. After fuel, truck payment, repairs, living, etc., you can expect somewhere between $30 and $40k take home.

    Fuel prices and the writers strike

    Canada and Europe have higher fuel prices because of all the taxes. What the US has done is tacked on extra taxes, masked in the higher prices, so the consumer just thinks oil companies are at fault. What ticks me off more, is that if the government would actually lower fuel taxes, the oil...

    Load Or No Load

    Ummm... I vote... no load? Yes... no load. Not yes load. Yes, no load. No, not yes load, no load. Ummm... you're not understanding me. NO LOAD! NO, NOT YES LOAD! NO LOAD!!! :( I'd tell you my version of it tonight, but I'm affraid of getting egged by the studio audience. :D

    Old posts

    Here's an idea, Goodtude... Start a title like "Remember this?" Then post a link to said thread; and maybe a quote or two that you particularly liked... like the Parrot Skit. :)

    Sharing a thought or two...

    Browsing around some blogs, linked from a place I admire and miss (the author died in 06); this gem was found. The quote is from The Sword of Truth series. "Good intentions, being kind, can encourage the lazy, and motivate sound minds to become indolent. The more help you give them, the more...

    Where did it go?

    QUICK, everyone! Think of a way to make him say Kylplxym!!! :D

    Old posts

    Not a good idea to bring back old post just cause you can. You're going to be confusing a lot of newbs and ppl like me who were surprised to see Tom Robertson and Glen Rice popping up to post again. Old posts are there to look at; and possibly brought up to answer a question by a newb for...

    Now I'm not sure if expediting is the way to go.

    Same problems, only worse.

    Now I'm not sure if expediting is the way to go.

    I totally forgot about the Parrot Skit! OH THE NOSTALGIA!!! :D Ok... breathe, Larry, breathe. 3+ years and what's changed? Shortages of drivers has turned into a flux of trux. Anyone who is making more this year than last year, while doing fewer miles, is due to fsc going up. Rates have gone...

    What have you been doing to improve MPG? Anything?

    How much fuel is used when idling a straight truck?

    While the APU companies like to claim 1/4 gal per hour use, I've heard anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 or more. I would count on 1/2; then claim anything better as a bonus.

    What have you been doing to improve MPG? Anything?

    I've improved a little by shutting the truck off at night until I start freezing. When it's warmer, I only start it to charge the batteries. Padre... I agree that slowing down helps the mileage. And I agree that beating your opponent isn't necessarily a good thing, when it comes to mpg. But...
