    Retrofitting

    California? Where is this California you speak of? I can't find it in my atlas. Hopefully, this global warming crap will be TOTALLY debunked in the next year, and the Republican congress and Romney or Thompson will get rid of the EPA's uncontested power. One can dream, right? -A bore is a...

    Toll Roads and IFTA

    Nice assumption. I think you have a better chance of winning the lottery, than to live to see a tax repealed. Washington (or any state capital) never met a tax they didn't like. -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    ways to make money in expediting

    Can't agree with 1 or 2. If you get offered crap, then you'll make crap if you take it. And some companies offer more crap than others. If you're a team, and you're expected to take solo crap, then both of you will make crap if you accept. As for 2, yes... you need to be out to make money. But...

    Thoughts on this pay scheme.

    50% after fuel? After tolls? Repairs? Truck washes and oil changes? Truck payments? Mortgage? Child support? Coke habit? Run! Run for the hills! -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    Accident

    >Its preventable if you could have been somewhere else. BINGO!!! When being fair, one uses "fault". When wanting to assert power and make the driver the scapegoat, one uses "preventable". -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    Accident

    That's well and good, Col. But who determines if an accident is preventable or not? You? One could say you have an agenda for saying an accident is preventable. A cop? Maybe so. But emotions also weigh on police officers when determining fault, let alone if an accident is preventable. A camera...

    McGwire was on andro. At the time, it wasn't illegal. So that's a moot point. Yes, the fans like the homeruns. They pay the clubs who pay the players. When you look at it, MLB itself is the one who really wants the performance without the grief. It wouldn't surprise me to know the management...

    With what these guys are making, could you really blame them for roiding up? I mean... millions of dollars difference between using roids and using their natural born skill. Sure, the players are using the drugs themselves. But who is basically watching with a wink and a nod? You tell me. To...

    Let's talk playoffs!

    Neon... I'm saying it here first. Dolphins are gonna beat the Pats! Or, at least, not get blown out. Reason? Their team holds the undefeated season record. It's gonna come down to a matter of pride, which may be enough to top the Pats. Remember... Miami defeated the Bears in 85 for their only...

    Accident

    One thing a couple of you are missing. "Preventable" and "fault" are two different things. Fault, 99% of the time, is an issue of fact, if witnesses are available. Preventable/non-preventable is an issue of opinion. You can be found not at fault, but the accident still be deemed preventable...

    Anybody finding any Ice anywhere???

    Actually slowed down a lot since the first week of Nov. Avging a load a week since (one week with two). Hopefully I'll get a couple hits this week, as I started out with a good load. You sound cheery lately, Col. The Keys doin ya some good? :) -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts...

    Anybody finding any Ice anywhere???

    Thursday I musta went thru the end of the first icing in No MO and IA. WI was clear, for the most part. Last night, had a little sleet in Chicago, and lotsa rain and fog in IN. By the time I got near the KY border around noon, I had the AC turned on low! Glad I turned down Chicago to Jersey, as...

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    Acceptance rate means two things: Jack and sh**. And Jack left town. ;) Seriously tho... if you accept a load like that, without help for getting back, you'll be worrying about more than acceptance ratings. We need to make money. Not worrying about being someone's golden child with a big S on...

    Let's talk playoffs!

    At this point, the NFC division champs are locked, with the exception of the South. Tampa should have that title next week. Also, the seeding is pretty much assured, unless GB totally chokes the next three weeks. The wildcard, also, is like quickly hardening concrete. The Giants are unlikely to...

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    I'm sure even Saskatoon has their version of Kinko's. Having read your post, I would've turned it down too. Not for the problem of pay, but for lack of money to get you back to civilization. 700 miles back to ND means around 900 to get to Minneapolis. Not dhing that far unless someone else...

    1628 mile Dead Head from NY to Dever Colorado

    I can understand possibly staying with a larger company for consistancy sake. But good GOD I would go nuts with the lack of common sense!!! Oh... I forgot. That's why I left Panther. :7 -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    Why is it?

    I have a couple things to add. Oprah is not obligated to do squat. It's her money. Same as Gates. I'm glad they're involved personally with the charity, rather than giving it to an organization like Feed the Children, where half the food never reaches the villages. Worse yet is the UN, where...

    Turtle... what I mean by safe haven is that we expect a reasonable amount of privacy to get rest. Yes, other drivers, lot lizards, and beggars bang on our doors all hours of the day and night. But being IN private property ON private property gives you an expectation of privacy. Greg... I...
