Thank you, JJ. Kanga: I fail to see how vans turning down cheap freight cost you anything - common sense says it's more freight for those who will take it. Having units sitting not only doesn't cost the carrier anything, (just the drivers, who still have to eat), it makes them money, because...

IRT, can't you see that what you're saying just proves Linder's point? She said that stats can help you decide whether you need to change something, including the carrier - and if your acceptance percentages are low, then maybe that's what you need to change: the carrier. Because you sure can't...

That's "WIC" for women, infants, & children. Meant to aid pregnant women, babies, and small children. As I don't think you fit any of those categories, probably not.

Pjjjjjj (when I try to count the 'j's, my eyes cross, lol) it would be complicated, if the carriers did it, but they don't. Carriers pay the truck owner, who then does as he/she sees fit with the money. Most, far as I know, are honest, and pay their drivers accurately.

Keekeboo: I'm kind of confused on the 50% fs thing, (and think maybe you are, too). I don't know of any carrier that pays 50% as a fuel surcharge - do you mean a 50% advance, with which you can get fuel? PS Whatever dispatchers tell you, what's on the QC is all that counts - surely you already...

Joe: I'd be happy to add my prayers to the bunch, but since the prayers of an atheist are probably not much help, maybe you'd better send a pm to Terry - he isn't posting anymore, but I don't believe he's forsaken us entirely. Hope it turns out better than you expect, anyway.

McBuggy: I understand that my relationship is with CLC, but my problem is with the desk clerk who says "We have no account arranged with the company named on your card". Yes, I know that makes no sense whatsoever, but being overtired, stressed, and just wanting to find a room, I didn't pursue...

The good: I have an email from someone at CLC, confirming that the card permits a 24 hr stay - if you check in at 1900, that's your checkout time. This is very good news, though I anticipate desk clerks being unaware of, it so will print out the email. Cause I want my money's worth! (And I hate...

But Leeeeo - that's what money is for: to get what you want, right? And women want to look beautiful. (For their men, of course) We could save the money, and look like Atilla the Hun, if it would make you guys feel better, but I don't think it would, somehow. (Unless you got to spend it on...

Thanks Pjjjjjjjjjj, (I'll never get the right number of j's, you know) for the link - I'd never heard of the test, having been out of nursing for almost 10 years, and being nondiabetic myself. It sounds like a major improvement, but I bet it doesn't replace the daily blood glucose checks, huh...

Yes, Louixo, I know what you mean - I've even been hungry enough to eat at Mickey Dee's :eek: But I really try not to, by keeping the larder & fridge stocked with stuff I can eat. I have popped a frozen Lean Cuisine in the microwave while fueling, and eaten it as I rolled on, because there...

I'm not in favor of the death penalty, (would like to see offenders sentenced to actual life behind bars, instead, and given a choice between working to pay for their upkeep, or being given the bare minimum necessary to sustain their 'life') but if the state is going to do it, in this case I'd...

Louixo: I'm curious about the medicine you can't remember the name of - it controls blood sugar, and isn't a red flag to the DOT, as insulin is? And too, what is this about the "limited choices while running a load"? Because that sounds like an excuse to me.....(not that I haven't used it...

The issue isn't how much was deducted, except for the escrow, which is the only deduction that is refundable - if you've done everything correctly, anyway. What, if any, explanation have they given, for the delay in refunding the escrow? PS: calling them "crooks" is really not helpful, or...

Bearcat: the first thing I learned in nursing school has proven true in every other area, as well: if it wasn't documented, it didn't happen. What kind of documentation do you have, to support your compliance with the contract, and to obtain the monies you feel they owe you?

Beemer, I won't presume to give any advice, only you know where your heart lies - but if you decide to quit, I have one thing to add: your insurance through Panther will be canceled at midnight, on the day you terminate your contract. Make sure you arrange for alternate coverage before then, and...

CindiLu: sure hope I run into y'all somewhere soon, I'm way past ready for a night on the town (even if it's in the parking lot), in my "gotohell hat", lol - really sorry I missed the Expo, now! :( How's the new truck holding up?

I'd probably do better to make up a name - last night was the second time I was told that the CLC card was ok, until the motel saw/heard the carrier's name, then they said "Sorry, no can do." It wasn't ever a problem, the first year or two, but I think I'll get another card, through OOIDA.

Kurbski, I'm curious about one thing: were you able to enroll as an individual, or as an associate with a company or organization? I ask because I've been a member for a couple years, and am finding that the carrier's name on my card is one that some motels don't have an acct . with, and will...
