Them's who do the least shout foul the loudest. Oh, the irony - priceless!!! I admit to knowing very little about foreign affairs or military intelligence, but I'll say this: RELENT's reasoned facts are far more persuasive than any defensive sarcasm will ever be.

Porkchop: That we [EO] have several successful solos in cargo vans [Moot, Turtle, RELENT, Guido, sometimes Ontariovanman, ChefDennis, et al] says it CAN be done - if you're knowledgeable and motivated. Doesn't hurt to have minimal expenses, and/or a spouse with an income, as well. ;) There's...

What a hoot - I'd love to put it on my voicemail, lol. :D It's great to see a corporation with a sense of humor!

I stand corrected - thought that had been too much of a problem [appearances of favoritism] for carriers to continue doing.

Janette: in expediting, there are no company drivers - we're all independent operators, leased to a carrier, [or have our own authority as a carrier]. If you have a truck that you want to lease, your best bet is to read here to determine which carriers appeal to you, then call their recruiters...

When it comes to guys hitting on a woman who isn't interested, sitting in the front seat at a truck stop is a good spot to be in: easy access to the CB and/or air horn. :) It's not a problem I've ever had myself, but it's what I'd do if it happened.

Take the browns with you? what kind of Ohioan are you? That was pretty cold, after the winning streak they are having !!! where is your dedication? lol ! Now, if they will ever get rid of Mangina, then they might have a chance!! Ever get out of California? Glad to hear a particular co. passed...

GO BUCKS!!!!! And take the Browns with you, please! :rolleyes: [Sorry, Dave, just couldn't resist]

To you too, ol curmudgeon emeritus. :D

Welcome, Ragman. To answer the question of 'how much work', if you are of average fitness, you shouldn't have any problems. We sometimes hand load/unload [with a pallet jack, usually], and we ALWAYS secure the freight with load bars, straps, etc, but that's about as far as it goes. Long as you...

I'm all for getting the careless/lazy/unsafe drivers [and their trucks] off the road, as they endanger me and my loved ones too. But as Greg says, it's another reactive program, which isn't nearly as effective as a proactive one would be. {Like Homeland Security]. It's troubling that the...

Wow! Simply awesomely beautiful - and the scenery aint too shabby, either, lol. Mike, if you ever hang up the keys, National Geographic could use you. Thanks for sharing your gift with us. :)

But because it isn't universally interpreted as such, a concealed carry permit is not recognized as a federal [all inclusive] permission. IOW, I can get a permit in my home state, and still be arrested in many others, correct?

It may. Or it may become a long drawn out conversation between a few, totally uninteresting to the many, which is happening a lot here lately. :( And because I don't wish this to become more of the same, I'm done - I've said all I wanted, thank you. Anyone have anything to say to the original...

Did you read my words? I said "the OP asked for input on a specific topic" which is not a 'normal conversation'. When a specific request is made, it should be honored by answering the question asked, and resisting the urge to hijack the thread in favor of a conversation of your own choice. EO...

You're ok in Tn, but you can't carry concealed in other states that don't have reciprocity, correct? PS Your range instructor is a wise man. :)

Not important to you, but how about to the OP [original poster]? He requested input on a particular subject, and going off topic in that case is discourteous, IMO.

Ok, I'll be the Grinch this time: the last 5 posts have zero to do with the thread, and hijacking is not nice - if you have another topic, start another thread!

The Naval base where I just delivered tires for an expedition to Antarctica: Port Hueneme, Ca. Saw some amazing ships, and even got within about 40 ft of some harbor seals - too cool! They wouldn't cooperate for photos, though, just stayed in one big shapeless pile, sleeping.

I'm about 2500 miles from home today, spending Christmas at the Flying Hook - and I'm not whining about it, either. I accepted a run to LA, knowing it would probably mean not getting home, with gratitude for the work. The offers of help for the stranded Arrow drivers didn't surprise me, but the...
