    How Much?

    I can't give you an estimate [but any 'shop' can], just that my Proheat alternator also went, after the exhaust, and it's not cost effective to repair the dam thing. I know that it may seem hard, if not impossible, to consider replacing it, but OOIDA offers some help [with financing, I believe]...

    Watch Out Panther Fleet Drivers

    First post is just too vague to be helpful, second is just confusing: is it one owner who isn't paying, or is this the second? The novel concept of 'paying rent' on the van, added to the charge of the owner 'stealing it from my driveway' leads us to wonder what isn't being included in the rant...

    Supplement during lean times

    Of course it is - what else can I do, when running away to join the circus is not an option? [I actually tried learning to juggle once, but have a pretty crummy sense of rhythm, I guess - good thing the beanbags were soft, since they kept hitting my nose whenever I looked up to see where they...

    Supplement during lean times

    Don't know of anyone who has done it, but if you can make it work, why not? I'm wondering though, why you are concerned that "the agency might not use you again if you got a load" after accepting an assignment - would you drop one commitment, to snag another? Why not just treat an agency job the...

    Leap Frog Test

    Me too - but I figure those second graders got a lot more practice before the test than we did.... ;)

    Congratulations on a job well done! [Affirmation is sweet, eh?] Ditto to C&M, [have met Cal, and agree 100%], and to Clearwater, as well.

    Air Tabs

    Mine are lavender/blue, which is another thing I like: they are easily painted, [with Krylon Fusion for plastic], adding a bit of color to the truck, without the expense of graphics. :) PS It's only been a few months, but I haven't lost one from the roof yet....

    What makes a "GOOD" Truckstop??

    One that keeps the back [truck area] just as clean as the front [4 wheeler] area. Trees and grassy areas are nice, too.

    Can You teach an old dog new tricks?

    I use an aircard too, [known to the computer as 'WWAN' connection], but sometimes prefer to use wifi. [Less often since arranging autopay, lol] To prevent the computer from getting it's circuits in a bunch over which connection I want to use, I disable wifi - the old laptop had a button [looks...

    Tolerence or Intolerence....

    Turtle made my point before I could: everyone is blaming the actions of religious fanatics on the religion. How would those of you who are Christian like to be linked inextricably [in the public view] with the lunatics amongst your religion? Like, say, Donald Wildmon? Or the abortion clinic...

    night driving?

    . I dunno why, but the human body really wasn't designed to be up at night constantly. I know why: because the human body was designed long before gas & electric lighting made it possible to be up at night constantly. We weren't designed to spend the majority of our awake time in a sitting...

    Educate the Public

    As was pointed out, there already are signs cautioning drivers to leave space around trucks - but 'education' only goes so far. Biggest problem I see is aggressive driving: tailgating, abrupt and/or frequent [often improperly signaled] lane changes, and self centered failure to yield the right...

    Lawmakers Propose Higher Truck Weight

    The only beneficiaries of this asinine idea are [surprise!] the big trucking companies, with "lower operating costs". Heavier trucks will consume more fuel themselves, create more slow motion parades on upgrades, [with attendant efforts from everyone else to get around them], present far more...

    Founders never wanted to block religious expression

    My take is that neither [radical] Christians nor Jews are responsible for the loss of the WTC, thereby suffering the current distrust towards their religion - only the Muslims are. Allowing the mosques would acknowledge that, after which we should acknowledge the other side of that coin by...
