    A sad commentary

    Don't know what to say. The same ppl who are entranced by this BS are ignorant as to the workings of the US government. It makes me shudder to know these ppl vote too. -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    Am I A Trucker

    By def #2, that could be a hi-lo. By def #13, a person who pushes a dolly could be a truck driver. Looking at #2, what's the definition of heavy? It depends on what the definition of "is" is. Just use some common sense... that's all. :) -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his...

    Trucker dot com poll on fuel prices

    Also depends on what everything else does. Will surcharge take the bite off the prices? If everything stays the same, but fuel still goes up, I don't know how long it'll be before I don't make a big enough profit that will justify me being out here. -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and...

    1st day of december

    Goodtude... where were you when you turned down Key West? Loaded the 30th in NH, headed for Monday delivery in Mt Vernon, MO. Met a little sleet west of Indy, and lotsa rain in IL and MO. Wind really kicked up in MO. No hurry... slow and steady. Slow for me is 58-65. LOL Now, I'm sitting in Mt...

    Old School Expediters

    RE: odd looking straight trucks I didn't start til 95; which I still consider that the early days. It wasn't til qualcomm came, a few years later, that expediting became modernized. Things I miss: -the comraderie -the days Panther was small and treated you with respect -10/8 HOS with split...

    Friends

    I am a friend. I use my head when loaning money, and don't do it blindly. On the other hand, if I'm grasping at straws, and my friend doesn't have that last straw I need, I don't hold it against him. Tough love shows true friendship. -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in...

    Our representatives do know. The problem is, they are power-:censoredsign:s to the lobbyist-pimps. -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    Am I A Trucker

    If you're serious about this, Rev, I suggest reading def #1. If you're only going by #2, then you can include pizza delivery, mailmen, and Fred G Sanford (the G stands for GET R DONE). Saying that, be proud of what you do. Driving a van comes with a lot more flexibility than driving a truck...

    LOL Magic... I call my fat cat Beefy sometimes. And I recall calling my son that once or twice. -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    Flying J Effingham Ill

    Read awhile back that a KY Pilot had the same issue. As far as I'm concerned, that is harrassment. We are not working! That would be like me knocking on that officer's front door when they're off duty and sleeping. No longer going to Effingham's J. In fact, I won't get up when someone's banging...

    Going out of your way!

    Funny you should mention that. I dropped in NH on Wed, and found out I was #2 in NE. #1 was sitting in Bow. They told me she was new to C&M, so I headed up to meet her, and give her the company scoop. The general rule is to never sit next to #1 when you're #2. But I saw this as a perfect...

    Tax Question for drivers of owner operators.

    Enemy... I'm from Dearborn Heights also. Let me ask the woman our accountant's name, as it slips my mind. His office is on Allen near Eureka. We used him for regular income taxes before I got back into expediting. Came to find out, he has numerous trucking clients, and knows his stuff. I'll send...

    Does the U.S need a National Energy Plan

    Doesn't help that we can't use our own oil. Thank the EPA for that. -A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it. - Henry Ford

    Loonie's rise signals end of American era

    China is in the same boat as us, as we depend on each other for survival. China's currency is based off the US dollar. If China decides to change that, the US economy will crash. And with it, the Chinese economy; since we'll stop buying from them. First off, let's find the blame: 1) Favored...

    Making extra cash this week

    The reason I brought up ticket scalping is not because of the illegality of it. The appearance of what many do on black Friday is a lot like scalping. Both buy limited quantities of highly desired items, to sell them at a profit. Doesn't usually go over the retail price for the shoppers, but...
