This is one I didn't see, but probably could have, most any day, sigh.:mad:

Ark, you did put all the electronical stuff, & Very Important Paperwork way up high, right?:eek: I've been flooded out of my home in Daytona Beach, New Orleans, and Houston - it's a PITA, but as long as the people are safe, everything else will fall into place. Let us know if you need any...

My impressions of WIT were also very negative. After attending the "Roundtable Discussion for Drivers" that Ellen presented at the Expo last July, I was perplexed at the whole purpose, because the questions were provided by Ellen, (not the audience), and all seemed related to her other job in...

Yes, it sounds like you have your mind made up - good for you! Because it also sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you're getting into, (at least as far as life on the road), and you don't have a lot of other commitments to hold you back, and maybe most important: you have a sense of...

Yep, the Columbia River Gorge, and Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, and most anyplace in Montana, but especially 93, along Flathead Lake - awesome! A nice road full of twisty turns & ups & downs (and gorgeous fall leafpeeping) is US 119 in SW Pa, to WV.:)

Somewhere between Phoenix & Atlanta, I saw a sign that just boggled my mind: "Remove a brain tumor through your nasal passages? We do that." Besides creating a mental picture that nobody could enjoy having in their head, the creators forgot that kids read billboards, too, and left out the...

I missed it, being offline all week, getting from California back to Pa (thanks, DaveKC, for finding me a load east!:)) I missed the graduation ceremony on Friday, but not the party on Saturday:D And I definitely didn't miss the snow - Chicago on Tuesday was bad enough.....is it spring, yet?

I don't know who the author is, but I got this in an email today, and it's the truth! It's winter in Ohio And the gentle breezes blow Seventy miles an hour At twenty five below Oh, how I love Ohio When the snow's up to your butt You take a breath of fresh air And your...

Renting yourself out sounds like a great idea, if you have the authority and insurance to do it - otherwise, a nightmare!:eek: Perhaps a secure storage lot would be feasible, for a week?

It seems that an owner who is paying for fuel would know how many miles the truck ran, empty and loaded, so should be able to figure the amount of fuel needed, no? And wouldn't he/she question the excessive consumption? If the driver were a friend, I would ask them how they could be so...

Hey - it's good to see you back! and thanks for the warning about that DannyD11, cause you used to think he was a pretty good guy, if I remember right. So, are you still up for those (long) phone conversations, when the drive gets boring?;)

Arkjar, here's one for you, especially: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. I hope your loved ones have good news soon.

I"m not surprised, but am very sad to know that John O is not with us anymore. He is no doubt continuing to be an angel, just in a different place. When he was with us, he was NOT an "ordinary" man, by a long shot! He was always among the first to volunteer, and it was at the 06 Expo that I had...

I say: click on everything - how else do you find out what everything does?!;) BTW, I'm not amused by the irony: DD gives a lot of "terrible" ratings to folks because "of the way we treat new members," and yet, the only new member to post a desire to quit EO, says it's because of a comment...

I can't remember even one instance of feeling that the dispatcher was at fault for whatever was bothering me. It's like calling to report an error on one of your bills: no matter how outrageous (or just dumb) the error is, it's not fair to be angry at the person who takes the call. (Not smart...

Orientation is to acquaint you with the carrier you've agreed to sign on with, and vice versa, so you must first talk to a recruiter to be 'invited'.

Guess everyone else has a load. Not me, but I've been busy making curtains - those heavy ones make me feel claustrophobical. I like to watch the world go by, through the windshield, but today, the world is somewhere else, looks like.:( So: where are you hangin out today?

Ark, I was gonna say that sounds fishy, on account of I don't remember doing it, but then I remembered that I can't remember most of what I said before lunch today - was it funny, at least?:o

Are you the guy who created the Harvey Walleyebanger?! And the Singapore Sushisling?:D Uh oh - off topic we go, again! Bad members!

Well, if someone INSISTS....(and someone generally does, when they find that I'm kind of bashful, in person, and would just clam up & do a great wallflower impression):o Fortunately, there won't be any helium around, or I'd sing, too:eek: But seriously - it's a good time, and it's great to...
