    Misconceptions in truckin

    If I could find enough minis around Detroit, that would be exactly what I want. I'm sure Panther has enough minis around Detroit, Chicago, and Nashville to keep more than a few drivers happy. However, they think they have to "spread the wealth". HAHAHA I kill me! TOOT TOOT :7 Race... believe it...

    An Attitude of Gratitude

    A dj said "I'm thankful the pilgrims didn't land in Florida, cause we'd be stuffing gator." :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Watch when they claim they are Christian owners

    RE: Watch when they claim they are Christian owner I'm also a driver, but I like the truck I drive to be in running order. With that, I need to get the truck in if something starts going, like a transmission and AN INJECTOR (ARE YOU LISTENING, BILL???). Things don't fix themselves. And I am the...

    Top 100 Most Influential Americans List

    Baseball was huge around Babe's time, which made him larger than life. He wasn't vocal outside of the sport, except when it came to kids he visited in the hospital. Ali, besides his war opposition, was just as big in boxing as Babe was in baseball. But because baseball was a way of life... go to...

    Misconceptions in truckin

    What you say is true, for the bigger companies. However, the smaller companies usually have a set price per mile, with FSC included in the price. And their customers are, more often than not, other expediting companies. When you have dispatch looking for particular loads, they can pick and...

    Cherry Pickin

    Well, Leo... since I started with my small company, my avg miles per run has almost doubled since I was with Panther. And that's solo now vs being team with Panther. The bigger companies are nice if you like a small run per day, so you can hightail it to the truckstop to get your zzzs. Most of...

    Top 100 Most Influential Americans List

    A couple are missing. Where's Mohammed Ali? Jack Johnson, the first black heavy weight champ, caused the country to search for a "Great White Hope" for the better part of a decade. I still think he could've laid out Ali or Tyson in their prime. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means...

    Top 100 Most Influential Americans List

    I agree about Walton and Gates. They should be higher. I was thinking the other day about inventors. In essence, they happened to be the first to discover something. It's only a matter of time before someone else would've come up with the same idea, or something similar. Bell was in competition...

    RE: ¿Querría cualquiera clases de español libre I like Larry the Cable Guy's idea: Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Spanish. How about a button to press to learn English??? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Mail Order Bride

    I wrote a cute Australian for over a year. Got to where we were on the phone every weekend. Then I got my first credit card. Had a hard choice... visit her or buy a computer. Jackie wants to visit Australia. It'll be my first time too. :7 :7 :7 "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means...

    Thanksgiving Day Football

    Apparently, his new team is rallying around him. No one would've imagined Joey taking over for an uninjured Culpepper. Personally, I didn't think Joey was a bad qb to begin with. He is dealt what's given to him. And the O-line went nowhere, the run game wasn't threatening, and the recievers kept...

    Class 8 age vs. Straight Truck

    Jay... I've seen a T-600 with a 24' box. Nice setup! Ateam... never say never. They've gone from 45' to 48' to 53' trailers in a matter of a couple years. Another 5' on a straight truck would help, but at what cost? The turning radius would likely stink. If the extra length went off the back...

    Finding loads for other EO members

    Famous Amos's situation in Nogales, AZ brings up a valid point when trying to help someone stuck in nowhere. If you're stuck and are asking someone to help you find a load, you need to post your phone number. To post info about a load on EO is a moot point, as the load is likely to go in a...

    Does Anyone Use a Toaster Oven??

    Are12... you have to close the lid! ;) Actually... I have a George Foreman clone. I can't remember the brand, but I'll let you know. It doesn't char like a George, but there's no splatter. I'm thinkin of taking our George from the house. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I...

    BBQ Ribs

    I LOVE the McRib!!! Processed rib meat is beefy... no bones about it! :7 Famous Daves has awesome ribs! Their sauces are all great, and you can get them at Wallyworld. I tend to like the country style ribs. They're a little more fatty than slab ribs, but so much meatier also. When cooking...

    Solo in O/O truck... a financial question

    Looks like I need to reread my own posts. LOL I did say that's roughly what I do. I usually take a week off a month, so I'm not always at 900+. Sometimes I'm around 600 a week, usually 800 a week. Last week my check was 1200. What I was trying to get at was it fluctuates. Sometimes a lot! I get...

    Solo in O/O truck... a financial question

    Read it again. I said that was for the "last two weeks". I just went thru the best month I ever have in expediting. Mostly due to being out the whole month, but a lot to do with being in the right place at the right time with the right company for me. Currently, we're just adding my income to...
