We're trying, from various perspectives, but you just want to hear what your other friend told you, sounds like. And the reason we try to help is, some of us remember [with gratitude] those who helped us when we didn't know nothin.

Seriously: if there were a team ready to work, do you think they'd wait for you to have a truck open? I don't. I think you're setting yourself up for a rude reality check, and I really hope you'll hold off on jumping into a business you just don't know enough about, yet.

Mark: in this business, good teams are worth their weight in platinum - there are never enough to supply demand. I refer to long term teams, as in couples - makeshift teams are available, but they seldom stay together for the long term. How will you succeed if you can't find a good team - will...

Deliberately provoking a collision by jamming on the brakes is risky [you could get hurt, too], and just plain stupid, IMO. It's much more satisfying to tap the cruise speed down until they pass. My pet peeve is the 4 wheelers [usually, but not always, pickup trucks] with incredibly bright...

I am. They're not perfect, [neither am I], but they keep me busy without babysitting, and [because they look for loads for their trucks, rather than vice versa], I'm never waiting behind several other trucks to get a load. Also, when I need to get to a specific place, they can usually get me...

That hasn't been my experience - maybe it's specific to whatever carrier/broker told you that.

Sorry, LOS, I disagree. Yes, kids need exercise, but they don't need to run wild - even my dog seldom gets to do that. Self control and regard for the safety of others should take priority, IMO. If they haven't anywhere to run free in the neighborhood, they can go to the park, or gym, or the Y -...

Ok, Leo - you first. :p

That's the one: it says she died of unrelated causes, and thank goodness, or they'd be charging those kids with manslaughter, eh? :eek: I know it's a moot point, but the medical costs of surgery are exorbitant [especially for the elderly, who face higher risks, and don't recover as quickly]...

As long as the person expressing a wish, desire, or whatever, is speaking to a subordinate, it is against the law, no matter how casual the conversation [or how 'casual' it's pretended to be]. The principle that makes it illegal is the relationship: superior to subordinate - such statements as...

The version I read stated that the elderly woman's death was unrelated to the accident, and the suit is to collect for the medical costs from the accident, not her death. Of course, it's the parents who will be held responsible, and I'm all for that - they shouldn't have allowed their children...

Sigh - it's just not fun, without Doug. At least in his actual persona, as he can't very well do one of these stories under an alias, and I, for one, miss them!:(

hired bums to get signatures on petitions that appeared to appeal to Doug to come down peacefully, but actually were cleverly disguised demands on behalf of the owls. When confronted with the dirty trick played on the citizens, the Detroit Police Chief said

"If the right people are elected we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above our present levels," the insert said. "If others are elected we will not." Direct quote from the handbill placed in workers' pay envelopes - hardly innocent chitchat from 'the boss'!

No, Leo, it's not ok. When someone in a position of authority [employer] makes reference to raises, benefits, and other job conditions while 'suggesting' how employees vote, that constitutes coercion, which is against the law. As was mentioned, many of Mickey D's workers are pretty young, and...

RLENT made Cleveland look a lot better than it actually does, lol

And yet, the member asshl [may have misspelled that?] who went way out of bounds is not - WTH? :confused: Dougie was at least interesting, IMO, even if he did rub some folks the wrong way....:D

You're welcome. But as EB said, most folks get tired of reading the same questions, and typing the same replies. In the area of creature comforts & power to run them, not much has changed: you decide what you want [and can afford, lol], then figure how much power is needed to run those things...
