I loved the part of theoldprof's tagline that said "still nose nothin" - if there is a Heaven, he surely knows it now.

I'm happy with a small carrier, cos I just don't do 'corporate' very well. My carrier doesn't require me to put their name & logo [they don't even have a logo, lol] all over the truck/box, then charge me for being a rolling billboard. They don't blow smoke up my tailpipe with a 'motivational...

And can't drink - I'm a driver! Thanks guys [except for Star: never mind God, I'm going to get you for that one!] Loved the Youtube vids :D

Darn it, Turtle - you guilt tripped me into switching from styrofoam to paper plates, but this one has me conflicted. Maybe I'll just scoop the poop every other time.....yeah, that'll work.:)

As a responsible dog owner [Kenzy is licensed, leashed, and the baggies are in my pocket when we take a potty break], I hope there's a place in hell for those irresponsible slobs who leave garbage on the ground - esp chicken bones. :mad: I didn't get a dog to skirt the idle laws, and she is...

C'mon, OVM, you know that if the grass looks greener, it's probly just cos they're spreading more manure, eh? :rolleyes:

Thanks, EB, for posting that. I'm sure it will cut down on the number of newbie questions that we can either reply to for the 276th time, or feel guilty for ignoring. Btw: I'm open to PM msgs from anyone who thinks I may be able to answer questions, ok? If I don't know the answer, I usually...

I just recently began actually using my RoadKing card, and found the rewards program less than convenient: you have to swipe the card at a kiosk, and print out vouchers in increments of $5.00 to redeem the points. Any purchase requires payment of the tax in cash, and any unused portion is simply...

Great information - nicely done. :)

Agree. The curmudgeon shtick would be ok, if there were some actual helpful advice included, rather than just insulting folks all the time. If you know how it SHOULD be done, Col, why don't you enlighten us?

I feel the same: seems like more splintering into 'factions', less sense of community. More repetition, less wit and intelligent debate [esp on the Soapbox]. Too much speculation and comment on who Doug may be this time, too little of general interest, IMO. There's still good info, but I sure...

I never got to meet him, but feel as if I've lost a friend. I will miss his humorous perspective and always helpful posts. R I P, Royce.

You left out the part about not even hitting the bathroom before leaving, risking a speeding ticket enroute, and then hearing the load isn't "quite" ready yet. It's finally loaded just ahead of when detention would start - 2 hrs down the drain. [And you didn't even nap, bc they kept saying 'a...

I'm gonna get paid to be a tourist! :D

Jhead: welcome! I have to disagree with 2 statements posted by Teamliz here. [And to qualify myself, I've been expediting for 7 yrs, and have driven t/t, cargo van, and now straight truck. I've driven for several carriers, both team and solo as well.] First: that you need to buy your own truck -...

"It's better than no load - at least you're moving." :rolleyes:

I thought Homestead was on the Fl panhandle, not south of Miami! :o

Danny: it's good to hear that things are going well for you, and I hope we'll hear more of your voice here [again]. You make a valid point about the van, it IS easier to stay out when you have a microwave, fridge, tv, etc. [I know Turtle has all those things, and he's not the only one, but most...

Perked mine up too, being very much opposed to censorship, but as the story pointed out, that was an issue of the seller not having the right to sell the book - not an issue of censorship at all. So Pjjjjj - what kind of books were they? And did Customs suggest categories [ie: educational...

Sound's like too much emotion going into something too trivial - the troll wins this round. Trivial? Not to the member who was portrayed as being jailed over a bar brawl, it isn't. :mad: All the troll won is the booby prize, and he/she [that's just pro forma - I believe it was a 'he'] is...
