Well no wonder I didn't see it - I was studying Linder's tagline, lol. Now I have to wonder what other subliminal messages they've incorporated in their various ads & literature.....like maybe: "You are feeling an overpowering urge to ship something immediately - go to the phone & call FedEx...

Moose: did you run the installation disc to install it? If not, you may be running a free trial version, that wouldn't include the GPS. If you installed your version, I'm stuck - sorry.

That's an excellent idea, Joe - but in 8 yrs on the Trauma Unit, I never saw a patient with anything written on their forehead. And I would have, if it'd been there, because the Emergency Dept never spent any time cleaning folks up before sending them up to us. Another example of how critical...

It's anything but nonsense - like Joe said, an employer can put information on your record that isn't accurate, and you are guilty until you can prove otherwise. Not to mention unemployable, because unless the former employer agrees to remove the disputed statements, (and what if they're no...

Good stuff, Louixo. Though if the bleeding were arterial, (looks like either a fountain, or huge intermittent bursts), I'd rather apply a tourniquet than watch someone bleed to death. PS I'm glad no one calls 911 whenever I'm confused :o

DAC (short for drive a check) is the transportation industry's record of an individual's driving (employment) history, plus a criminal background check. It is used by every major and most minor carriers to screen applicants, and should therefore be checked by you for errors, just in case. It's...

Good luck, Dave! Moose: what arrow?!

I think it's called "creative writing" :rolleyes:

I've done the 'doughnuts in the parking lot' drill too - in a 4 wheeler. I'd be worried about rolling the truck, though. :eek: Anyone have any info on currently available emergency handling training? :confused: I read "Techniques for emergency highspeed driving" cover to cover, but I don't...

moven moven we like ta moven moven hmmm ever seen that flick?? I here 2 is out madagaskar and if I spell it worng Im sure Cheri will correct me again. Cherrieo :p Sorry, IRT, but I haven't got the kind of free time it would take to correct your spelling, grammar, & punctuation - but...

Not having a husband to train with, I shared the truck with a male trainer, (I could have had a female trainer, if I'd been willing to wait for one to be available, but I just wanted to get on with it) and later, with several male codrivers, and never had any problems with inappropriate...

Toledo, Oh? :confused: Last week, I saw a billboard for an insurance agent named Ella Kelly, and thought she oughta move her office to Kelly Elliot. (Hint: it's near Lovers Lane) :D It'd be a long way from where she is, but worth it!

Cheri - Sometimes I do not get to read every post on a daily basis. If you need a question answered, or if I have not responded to a post that you believe absolutely requires an immediate response, please send me an email or a Private Message. Who said anything about needing an immediate...

Leo: maybe you could print your own log sheets, as I do? I find it easier to do than writing the carrier name, address, etc, on every page. If you print your own, you could add the 7 day recap.

Thanks, Dave. :) But according to Miss Julia, (one of my favorite fictional characters) who is THE expert on class, a lady speaks softly, walks with excellent posture, sits modestly, smiles most of the time, and defers to the gentleman. (At least in public) I am still ROFLMAO, cause I know a...

Totally aside from the financial aspects, which are dependent on so many variables, there's the quality of life to consider. In your shoes, I chose to drive a D unit for an owner, and it's been a good choice for me. If only because, (to borrow a line from Highway Star), it's a nicer place to...

Steve: before the surgery, practice deep calming breaths, and a new mantra: millions of folks have done this before, and were just fine, and I will be too. After the surgery, do as Phil says: recover. No shortcuts, either - take the time to be 100% before going back to work! And don't forget to...

Joe: this is something that's cheap, fun, and memorable: get a bucket of pastel chalks, and write msgs (Happy Anniversary To The Best Wife On Earth! kinda stuff) on the sidewalk in front of your house. Make the colors as bright as you can, cause you want the neighbors to see it, too, lol. ;) If...

It's hard to respect someones position on a matter when they think they're above defending it. Impossible to respect someone who can't be bothered to reply to direct questions, absolutely. That "redneck veedy, veedy strong" story made me chuckle.:) Joe, I'm sure it was meant in admiration, lol. :D

Excellent thread, Leo. I've never had a damage claim, and consequently never thought I need to take photos - I think it's time to start. IRT's point about digital photos is well taken (Photoshop can do some amazing stuff!) so maybe I'll just get a couple disposables. I can label them by dates...
