Except for the last sentence, which part was disrespectful? I mean, substitute "omnipotent being" for "cosmic turtle" and you've got a pretty fair description of the Christian religion, right? The last sentence was Turtle being Turtle - unable to resist getting a joke in there, even at the risk...

The hypocrisy of "honoring Jesus" with such a display is staggering, and the decision to rebuild is just mind boggling. Because we know exactly what we'd be hearing if lightning had struck say, an 'adult entertainment' place, instead, yes? Those who 'honor Jesus' by quietly doing good for their...

An argument could be made that the driver should pay for repairs, IF caused by said driver's negligence, but basic maintenance is the responsibility of the owner - and in his best interest, too. The fuel surcharge should go to whomever pays for fuel, 100%. [Good catch, Leo - I hadn't noticed...

Regardless of whether you have a CDL, when you haul freight under the authority of any carrier, it would be wise for them to take steps to ensure that you get rest, don't you think? Because if you're involved in an accident, and your paperwork [bills of lading, fuel & toll receipts] show that...

Yes, it sounds fishy - why should you pay for 'basic maintenance', if you don't own the vehicle? :confused:

As a news item, there would be zero humour [spelled that for you, OVM], but as a joke, the unexpected makes it funny. And it WAS funny. :D

I'm picturing the scene in 'Romy & Michelle's Reunion' where they argue over who's the Mary & who's the Rhoda, lol :D Kenzy & I will bring food & drinks & bag chairs, and Kenzy promises to behave [as long as Dingle stays out of 'her' truck - she was good once, but there's a limit!] Heck, we...

$450 is way too much - I'd just keep asking at new car dealerships until I found someplace more reasonable.

Termite: in the Ga law, you are correct, the victim died of his own stupid behavior, and hardly deserves to be honored for it. In the case of many others, though, such as 'Megan's Law', the victim [Megan was a 7 year old girl, killed by a pedophile] did nothing "stupid" at all, and your comments...

Driving a van, you can just go to any new car dealership & ask where they get it done - it'll be nearby, guaranteed.

Auto Impressions in North Olmsted, Ohio [western suburb of Cleveland] did mine a few years ago, cost $175, took about 2 hrs. Lots of other places like Ziebart will do it too, just find them online wherever you are & give them a call to check on price & availability.

Every time I see another public edifice or road named for some [usually former] politician, I think how many everyday American heroes like Glenn deserve the honor more. Hope to see the Rices somewhere out there!

She's a real cutie pie, & Kenzy hopes to play with her someday. :)

My dog is half Boston Terrier [the other half is Pug], and I'm telling you: they NEVER get tired. If you walk & play with the dog enough, you will no longer be "too fat to crawl under the engines" - good outcome!

Best way to find out is to ask the carriers - rules change, exceptions are made, each case is different, etc.

Welcome to the world of fuzzy navigators - but please tell me you're just kidding about the service dog rationale! :eek:

Agree with the Vanman that those who go home every chance they get aren't being as productive as they might, but they probably won't be around long either, so I don't waste time worrying about them. I'm a bit puzzled by the sympathy for carriers dealing with OOS issues, though. To me, that's...

Did you try telling the owner that you'd like to be paid your 40% before the expenses [QC, trippak, wc insurance] are deducted from your share? If so, how'd that go?

But WalMart has closed circuit cameras covering the lot, [one reason I like to sleep there], so shouldn't they be able to identify the specific trucks that cause damage, and pursue them for repairs?

Looks like a good time to me! :D
