I've paid cash on the FTP dozens of times over the years, as EZPass doesn't work, never had an issue. And my daughter and her husband paid cash their first year in Fl, till they got a SunPass, without any problems either.

I seriously doubt that many folks giveadam abot the celebrities cited, but who asked us? The media will claim [as always] they're "giving the people what they want" but that's absolute BS - they're giving us what won't upset the advertisers they depend upon [which covers a lot of ground, with...

True dat! Whether it's a truckstop, rest area, PetsMart, or Pizza Hut, The Next Exit tells me how close the next one is - it's the book I use most often. It was hard to find, though, last time I needed to replace it, went all the way to Idaho before any of the Flying J's had one.

A lot more - Coco hasn't been around for years, either, so a reply may be somewhat delayed....;)

If you've been lurking for even a few minutes, you should have known what to expect: we're easily amused, and brutally honest. Sometimes both at once. Welcome to EO, Jball. PS Since you asked, I find popcorn to be a must have, and books. Oh, and a good reading lamp, too. :)

But he IS the one who has been here for years, helping, and we've learned that he can be trusted. You, I'm not so sure of - why are you trying so hard to sell it? PS Reading this forum has nothing to do with being satisfied [or not] - some of us like to get information from wherever it can be...

Re: Mother's fury at school sending boy, six, to psychiatric ward after he drew video I'd like to see that picture, myself....When my kids were six, they watched The Muppets - wonder if a drawing of 'Animal' would rate the same reaction? The bit that struck me was that the child's father will...

Purgoose: do you drink the Coke first, or drop them in? I like popcorn or chips. Especially Sun Chips - the package is incredibly loud, lol, and the chips are pretty good, too.

I am beyond tired of being told who [or what ] I "hate" when there isn't an iota of truth to it. I have no problem with vans or Sprinters, nor does any other straight truck o/o/driver I know. Unless you can haul 10 skids & 12k lbs, you're not competition for the loads I haul, just as I'm not...

It wasn't a matter of waiting for a signal, it was that it kept getting different signals, forcing it to recalculate every 20 seconds. I was zigzagging across little roads through Alabama, had to check the atlas and write them down - when I try to go on memory, I'm even worse than a messed up...

I was expecting this thread to be about the solar flare activity occurring towards the end of this week, which may interfere with satellites and GPS units - esp as mine just had to recalculate every 20 seconds for awhile, till I pulled over to make sure I was going the right way. It's only for a...

Mr Snappy, if you do it, could you swing by & pick me up for lunch? I owe you one, if I remember - I'm just down the road a piece, in Lebanon, Tn. and I'd even help dry it off. :cool: O crap - never mind, just got a load to Alabama - next time, ok? :D

Yes, they do. I always found it amusing that if 100 drivers were on layover in Memphis, half would be in Arkansas [West Memphis] and the rest in Mississippi [Olive Branch] but not one would even be in Tennessee. :D

I really like the Pilot in Castaic, Ca, the TA in Albert Lea, Mn, and the WalMart in Gaffney, SC [85, exit 92] because the laundromat is so convenient. :D I've rarely felt unsafe anywhere, but I stick to well known and busy places, esp at night.

JP: I had one of those jobs too, before I went to driving school, and it's a shame how they take advantage of folks' willingness to work by ripping them off. I hope you can document everything [what they promised, what you did, what they paid], and I believe the Labor Relations Board is the...

I don't agree with your last conclusion, Pilgrim - I believe the correct language skills are taught, but many choose not to learn, retain, or use those skills. And personally, I believe I'd trade my language skills for mechanical knowhow, in a heartbeat, lol.:D

Mostly the same as Chris: afternoon pickup, am delivery. I've found that listening to an interesting audiobook will get me through most of the night, [when I'd rather drive anyhow], it's the morning sun that bothers me - especially when combined with big city rush hour. Then, I'll try to get off...

Lacking experience and knowledge [of expediting], I'd suggest team driving with someone who has both, as your best option - at least until you gain the experience & knowledge to get on with a carrier yourself. You can check EO's classified ads for 'Team driver wanted', or let carriers know that...

What we're forgetting, though, is that without typos & errors, half the humor in life would disappear, [like the 'autocorrect' on iPhone, that comes up with 'human beef' 'sprinkled with freshly ground black people':eek: Does Apple believe we are cannibals now?!] And my all time favorite, when...

There's no need for the egg or the pointed hat, lol. I sent a pm to another mod when it first appeared, but the explanation was something to do with how the editing software didn't allow certain changes. We ALL make mistakes, and that was a pretty small one, if no one else noticed, or commented...
