Eb: nobody's keeping secrets. or hiding things, when they say that the only numbers that matter to YOU, are your own. The reason is that your cost per mile includes both fixed & variable monthly figures, and even the fixed amounts (such as truck payment) can be pretty different, from one person...

Did I read correctly: you'll be driving a pickup truck? :confused:

How very apropos - in the spirit of the original subject of plagiarism, from what source did you copy this nugget of brilliant thinking?

Bingo! Laziness that makes something easier for you, but harder for those who follow, is disrespectful, no?

I don't think so - have I ever criticized your spelling or grammar? Nope, I've only mentioned the issue when a post was practically unintelligible, and those are few and far between. As Turtle explained, not making the slightest effort is disrespectful to us all.

Thanks, Turtle, for saying it better than I did (as usual):p and Iceroadtrucker?ALF, for the laugh. :D

Most folks who ask for advice find a humble attitude to be the right approach, but as you're determined to do it your own way, carry on with the condescension & snide superiority - but don't blame those who could help you, and choose not to oblige.

What does "schooling" have to do with it? Like I said, one can look out the window to get the correct spelling of Pilot, and there are spellcheckers nowadays, for those who bother to use them. My own 'life circumstances' caused me to be a high school dropout, and wait 20 years before getting...

Only the Col does it on purpose :p but I was referring to the ones who misspell things like 'Pilot' when they could just look out the window to get the correct spelling.....We ALL make the occasional typo, but some are just too lazy or self centered to make the slightest effort, and THAT'S...

No matter what the subject, atrocious spelling & grammar is rude, IMO, and presenting the words of another as your own is dishonest. Common courtesy and truthfulness are not too much to expect, I hope. (And neither bears any relationship to intelligence)

I totally agree - excellent post, RLENT.

Some folks who have made calls reporting other drivers to the authorities are motivated by a sense of responsibility, (as I was, when I called to report a vehicle running on the interstate at night without any lights), but there are also those who simply enjoy the feeling of power they get from...

No argument here, JJ - 2 DUI's is evidence of one who hasn't learned from their mistake. The problem is that of the OP, who wants to 'keep' the driver. Which leads to the question: for whom was the driver previously driving, if both offenses are more than 5 years ago?

Any reason you couldn't park in the lot of a grocery store? Or Super KMart? If bathroom facilities aren't needed, there's a LOT of places, like Lowe's, Home Depot, even a mall - especially if you get up & go in the morning. (No pun intended :p) I parked last night in the lot of a Winn Dixie...

Sure it would, Bearcat, but I don't think they'll allow you to take the test until you have the letter...

McBuggy, all the weight you can hold won't help, if you're skatin on ice, thin or otherwise....Best is to park, next best is to creep along at low speed till the ice is gone, or you can get parked, IMO. I thought "They call me the breeze" was the Allman Brothers...

Mike, it isn't the carriers who are rejecting the driver, it's the insurance companies. And I would not expect any carrier, much less one who could be called "the best for cargo vans" to qualify a driver with 2 DUIs! You could make a list of all the carriers you can find, and call them all to...

A contract is a way to protect both the owner and the driver from unwelcome (and usually unhappy) surprises, by spelling out the rights and responsibilities of both parties, and usually, the penalty for not following through on same. As the driver, you'll want to know what you are required to...

Ok, I'm not very knowledgeable on the truck you're considering, but I have towed boats, and I have a question: if you don't want the box, or the sleeper, why buy a truck? It sounds like using a shotgun to shoot a hummingbird.....:confused:

I'd like to give credit to the authors of the song from which my sig line was copied, "I'm on my way" by Craig and Charlie Reed, aka The Proclaimers, because it's a great song, and they deserve the credit. Terry is right to point out that the copying of another's words, without attribution, is...
