Yes, Greg, you gots to go! Networking and socializing online is not half as good as in person - it really helps to put a face with the name, (and see if they look like you imagined). There's also the chance to relax with some 'adult beverages' involved, and that's always fun, whether you're...

I have never forgotten a film seen in driver training (for a Class A, driving t/t) in which the subject of road rage was addressed. Several big rig drivers were threatening retaliation for the rude or careless driving they saw, when the voice-over asked "Well, do you want a piece of THIS...

I have enough confidence in your eventual success to start keeping an eye out for some really good rocks, ok?:D Seriously, I expect you to be successful, and am happy to hear that you have a plan - and a pretty good one, at that. It was a tough way to get there, but you know the old saying...

Let me see if I get what you're saying: the government makes it so easy to collect money for nothing, even when you're able & willing to work, that they've destroyed the work ethic. But your friend, who really needs some help, cannot get any help from that same government, huh? In all my...

Yes, but the thing about policies is that they can change, at any time, for any reason. Not much you can do about it, either. :(

That would be frustrating, to find the "perfect load", and be turned down, for reasons that don't appear to make sense, definitely. But as shippers pay more for the dock high truck, there must be a reason. If I had to guess, I'd say they probably had a bad experience, (maybe a forklift driver...

No, and I didn't name my - oops, sorry, bit of deja vu there, what?:o The truck is called Ghost, and it's a nice one, the good kind of friendly ghost. I don't believe it can go through walls, but it looks good going around them! :D Lots of white & gold LED lights & chrome.

You think all assistance programs should be ended, because you know someone is collecting "free money" that they don't deserve, in your opinion? By that logic, major league sports need to be ended, too, because so many of the players are cheating with steroids - they're collecting money that...

Let me see, how can I say this tactfully.....oh - I know: IN YOUR DREAMS, OVM! :p Whatever mind created mud wrestling was clearly overdosing on testosterone - a battle of wits is much more interesting. ( Especially when one or more of the participants are half-wits. Not that anyone...

Speaking of photos: if you go to the truck show, could you please get a decent photo of Lawrence? The one he's got on his profile makes him look like a serial killer, lol :eek: but I'm pretty sure he's really just a cereal killer. ;) Where is the cool statuary, in Nashville, anyway? (It's "The...

Hey Mikey - you're back! Nice pics - hope you get even more bored tomorrow, lol;)

Wrong again - I enjoy the arg - I mean debate. But here's my last words on this one: if I disagreed with the opinions of the majority of a group, I'd prefer to find another group, whose opinions I could share. But that's just me.

Is what I'm saying: the message on the unit says "do not operate while driving", and the Safety Department sends messages that you won't get, until you operate the unit - kind of at cross purposes, no? Seems that a Safety Department would find a safer way to remind you to use your turn...

The people you slapped with a "terrible" rating were rated as "excellent" by nearly everyone else, because they ARE. If you can't see that, then I can't help but wonder what you get out of EO...

One of my driver "phone friends" just called, and one of the subjects of conversation was how the carrier she runs for has been sending a lot of messages over the QualComm lately, from Safety. The messages are just reminders to be "safe", (ie: signal before changing lanes), but here's the thing...

I would expect no less - you kind of HAVE to throw a bone to your "other half"- if you want to stay married, anyways. But the many good folks who didn't deserve a "terrible" rating (especially TerryandRene!) deserve an apology, IMO.

Fresno, California, as of 3 hrs ago.

My little green box says I "will become famous soon enough." That's kind of creepy - heck, Jeffrey Dahmer is famous. I'm just sayin.....:eek:

On the subject of Joisey, there was a bit in USA Today the other day, about a GPS snafu in Seacaucus: the GPS doesn't seem to know about a fence between the industrial park & the residential neighborhood, and is causing a backup of trucks on 5th Street, so if you're going thataway, probly best...

Jeez - I can't even remember places I went to last week, let alone a few months ago. which is why I am very fond of "The Next Exit" (available at Flying J's, and thanks to FreightShaker for showing me his. Book! His book, ok?!) :rolleyes: It lists every interstate in the lower 48 states, and...
