Never mind...... I saw the OTR, but not the OTM.....:o And I'm in a goofball kind of mood today Must be the sunshine & palm trees.....:D

That's "OTR", goober! As in: Over The River & through the woods To the shipper's place we go To pick up the freight That can't be late Not even for a tow! (Cause we're expediters, you know) :cool:

I guess you think that wanting to keep your family intact, in the home they're used to, with extended family, good schools, familiar neighbors, trusted doctor & childcare nearby, etc, makes the guy who wants to stay put a whiner, eh? Jobs are crucial - but so is the family structure, and...

With a nod to Skeeter Davis (& Moot) Why do folks keep on wanting To drive all over this land? Why are they in such demand? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when they banned the van. Why do carriers keep on signing Newbies with contracts in hand? Why do they bother to plan...

I'm with Mr 'Tude: (though I do check the hoses & clamps under the hood) - I doubt I'd have caught this one on a pretrip without the heads up - thanks, Dave.

I actually got the "Marilyn Monroe to Elvis Presley" reference - I'm worried, now....:eek: PS: IRT, I enjoy your posts, whether I understand them or not, ok? :)

Bearcat: the law in Ct is irrlelvant - Panther must comply with the law in Ohio, where they are headquartered. If you don't know why your escrow hasn't been returned, you should ask someone higher on the ladder than a team leader, and request the response in writing, ok? Last: Panther was...

Hi, Guido! To find out what it's all about, just type "dragon naturally speaking" into your search bar, including the quotation marks - you'll get a whole bunch of links to check out.

Does it censor profanity, or type whatever you say? How do you edit what you've said/typed?

Lawrence: the original bailout proposal brought a HUGE outcry of protest against the notion of supporting mismanagement & greed with taxpayer money - until people saw their retirement investments going south, and changed their perspective. The Bank of America's action is just another outrage in...

I wouldn't have believed it when I was the same age as the girl in the photo, but this was one of the best birthdays ever, without having received a single 'present'. My Auntie P called early in the morning to read my horoscope for the coming year, (with the suggestion that I keep an eye out...

Totally agree, Pel, except that I wonder how come we are required to pay all the taxes & fees for the roads we can use only part of?

Y'all are making Oklahoma City look better & better, lol - it's in the high 50's here. :p PS Highway Star called last night to tell me that he & Broompilot were going out to enjoy some adult beverages in honor of my birthday - do I have some GREAT friends, or what?! :D

I haven't got mine on yet, (is what I hate about mail order - I may not get the product for weeks), but do they require a heavier duty kind of wiper blades? :confused:

Welcome to EO! I can't answer all your questions, (specifically the Sprinter related ones, as I drive a D unit - but I have driven a cargo van, & t/t too, so have some idea of your concerns), but will stick with what I know, ok? What you can expect is to sit more than you'd like, most weeks...

Piper: that one is destined to become a classic! :D:D:D

Does Long Island to Oklahoma City count as a great load? Probably not, when I want to be in Fla for the holiday.....but the miles are nice, at least. :)

Since most of my family lives near Cleveland, I will definitely make it there before Christmas, or get a sock full of coal, lol. And I LOVE Buckeyes!! (Much tastier than cheeseheads, eh?);)

Awww - thank you, kind sir. Last night, I was driving through the icy mountains in Pa, listening to some of my favorite music, and I realized that if I somehow managed to die on the road (it was that kind of night: scary!) I'd at least go out happy, doing what I truly enjoy. And EO makes it a...
