Among others. Once again, I must disappoint those who label me as a liberal [and they do love labels, I notice] because I firmly believe that every immigrant should be here legally, and part of the process should be a requirement that English is spoken, read, and understood. I'd also insist...

Joplin, Mo. Wish I had Moose's load, lol, but at least there's no snow here.:)

Steve: life is full of surprises, innit? Just remember that some of them are really good ones, and keep on truckin till then. You are a pro, and have made it through worse, you'll be fine. And we'll be here to keep you company! :)

Just hypothetically, say there's a group of people who consider that your views are so offensive that they are compelled to silence you by force [because the law will not] - is it okay with you if they "put the garbage to the curb" when YOU are 'the garbage'? Think hard before you answer...

Deport Texas - must be a poor town, can't afford to include the comma on the watertower.

CJ: I came to expediting from OTR too, and one difference not mentioned is hometime. Depending on where you live, it can be more or less than what you're used to, assuming that's every other week. I live near Cleveland, Oh, and have sometimes gotten home several weeks in a row, [usually just a...

Flooding isn't a common thing in NE Ohio, it's the torrential rain [Sun night] that melted a lot of the snow piled up 3-4 ft high around the edges of parking lots & some streets. I went to Valley Freightliner yesterday [in Cleveland], and found W 150 St closed, but the entrance on Brookpark Rd...

Silly, what else?

Chris: that last paragraph is pretty scary - if you're that tired when you stop, you waited too long, IMO. Are there any signs that you might notice before you get to that point? [For me, it's getting really irritable, and if I keep going, my eyes start going 'out of focus' for a millesecond...

With nearly everything being online now, maybe your state's website will have some helpful info that might save you a trip. Also: did you see the 'sticky' at the top of the forum, about getting a CDL?

You're very welcome - I like pictures from the road. Wish I'd taken one of the water tower that says "Deport Texas" - without the comma, I thought it was a suggestion, lol. :D

It keeps saying the message is too short so I had to add more - why does it do that?

Selling access to VIPs is a longstanding tradition for both political parties. Slimy, but very successful - for them.

Dennis: try typing your email addy in the phone & send the pics as text [or multimedia] msgs. Once they arrive in the mail, you can copy/move them.

Dave: we don't consider one bad load or week to be the end of the world, and we don't think one or two angry posts makes you a bad guy - just an imperfect human, like the rest of us. Most here know your heart is in the right place. :)

Flying J in Ardmore, Ok [and hopefully other locations] has a stack of blank forms on the fuel desk counter than are to "Tell the DOT what you think". Fill one out, and TransFlo it! [They are bar coded for that.]

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right - here I am, stuck in the middle..... Sorry, couldn't resist, lol. Mostly, it's pretty good company! :D

Charlie: I've been doing it for years, and am pretty happy. I make money, and haven't gone insane [yet] though I do get cranky at times. :o Will you like it, or go insane? No one knows until you try it - we're like snowflakes: all the same, but all different. :)

I was just reminded of something you may not think of having handy: money for tolls. [In Ok, at the booth with no attendant, just a basket requiring exact change.] I had to raid the little bag of quarters I keep for laundry, and it made me think about how we don't think about things like that...
