'Preciate the concern, Col, but I've run enough the last couple weeks that I can afford to wait for a load that'll get me closer to home for Christmas - or DH, if need be. I'm not taking time to feel sorry for folks, I do that while doing other things;) I notice you didn't answer the question...

Can't agree, OVM. It's more than just stopping for coffee and/or bathrooms for the big trucks - they need places to park during their mandatory 10 hr breaks, and there aren't enough as it is. Reworking the rest areas, eliminating the 4 wheeler parking to expand the truck parking is the logical...

Even if you got nothing from your membership other than the Landline magazine, it would be worth it. Example: my last load was 140 lbs over the gross weight for my truck. Thanks to Landline, I have a copy of Public Law 109-58 which allows for an increase of up to 400 lbs to compensate for an...

Class A: did the bus your son was on have a cc camera? Many school districts have installed them to aid in resolving disputes and improve behavior of the passengers. The seat belt issue is a tough one, though, with no good answer.

Oh but there is, Col: that some of them make the rest of us look bad. Just like the dishonest owners - a few bad apples, you know. Whether they're "clowns" as you put it, or just folks who aren't terribly good at wording an ad, it's still not funny. If you were looking to hire a team, what...

What Dave & Piper said: thanks for putting it out there. It just might make a real difference to someone who is wondering about whether it can be done, ya know?

Awww, thanks Louixo - that's been my very favorite for at least three years, but it moves every year, and I hadn't found it yet this time. I can play it 5 or 6 times in a row, and smile every time. :D

Turtle: I'm sorry to hear about it too, but now I'm wondering, did you really drop the bottle of hot sauce, or did you nip at it to keep warm? 'S ok, we understand - I'd have drunk it too, and I can't stand the stuff, lol. Heck, I'd have let Rod Serling light a bonfire, (almost hoping for the...

Maybe I lack the right sense of humor, but I find a big difference between ATeam's hypothetical ad (which is funny), and trolling the ads of actual people looking for work, which isn't - IMO, of course. Laughing at "people" in the abstract is one thing, whereas pointing to some in particular...

I'm always looking for a good laugh - but I've never found it in the misfortunes and/or shortcomings of others, and I hope I never do. Somehow, it never occurred to me to look for humor in the "looking for work" ads. The personals, though, can be a riot! :eek:

Sure hope you get better soon, TJ. BTW: what did you do to resolve the Nextel issue, anyway?

I agree 100% with what LDB says, but not so sure that "Panther not accepting solos" is an indication of how well the industry is doing, as much as an indication of the limited earning potential for solos. Nearly every carrier wants teams, due to the HOS rules - teams represent a greater...

Guess that explains one of my favorite Christmas songs: "Chipmunks roasting on an open fire" :D but I still don't understand what the blue blazes IceHeadTrucker is on about - maybe that "Time tunnelly web" distorts his words, or somethin.

I don't think that Cindy is covering for Casey - it was Cindy who called 911, when Casey refused to say where Caylee was, providing a ludicrous explanation for why she hadn't reported the child missing (for a month!). I think that Cindy is trying her best to believe that Casey couldn't harm her...

It's conversations like this that make me wonder if I've woke up from a nap in the Twilight Zone... Or maybe the Time Tunnel Web Cruncher that IceHeadTrucker is in (Hiding my Snickers, just in case!) Maybe I'm on that Hwy loop thing..... in SC?! :confused:

Wingnut, you're gonna LOVE it! (Hope it's a girlbaby, they're more fun to buy clothes for, eh?):D:D:D

Mine expired last month, and I'm not bothering to renew it - like Pel, I never used it anyway.

Lambert's has been on my list of places to get to for a couple years, but I gotta ask: what happens to the rolls that don't get caught? (It's a lot of work, to just throw them away!) :confused:

BigJoe: I believe a recruiter for FedEx can provide the info you seek, just give them a call.

Typing "gps" into the search tab will get you the info quicker, there, Detmike, but I can give you a quick recap: most Worldnav users are disappointed, while most Garmin users are satisfied. (I am one of the latter - I love my Garmin.)
