I enjoyed it - thanks. It was a nice reminder thar life is full of surprises, and some of them are really good ones.

I happen to LIKE "weird commie crap" music! And Otis Day & the Knights, too - didn't they play "Shout"?

To me, the most disturbing aspect is the 'passing of the buck', when Landline tried to find out on whose authority or orders the operation was performed - when no one wants to accept responsibility, I have to wonder why.

I hope that's not you & the Mrs - or those shirts I made for you aint gonna fit.....;)

Don't know about a witness, but you can get a smile, anyway....;) Nice photos, Mike - family of yours, or just friends?:P

Well, that and the adrenaline rush that comes with every load offer - it might be a REALLY good one, right? ;)

If someone dismisses you from consideration, based upon the size of your vehicle, it says more about their preconceived notions & ignorance, than your classification, IMO. Perhaps they don't know that you deal with carriers, shippers, consignees, truckstops, and all the other aspects of life on...

This is very troubling to me - why are they targeting truckdrivers? Do they have any probable cause, or any reason to be waking the drivers? Another troubling aspect is the difficulty in finding who's responsible for the idea - Landline got a real runaround, trying to find out whose bright...

Do you accept others' perceptions & definitions of who you are as more reliable than your own?

If your view of success involves maximizing income, there are plenty of good advisers here, to point the way: LDB shows how planning your fuel purchases can save money, he & TeamCaffee point out how a CPA can maximize your income, while reducing tax liabilities, ATeam stresses the need for a...

Linder's humility is typical of her - where she has a great many "feats" she could put in her mouth, (to borrow from TennesseeHawk's excellent sigline), including the cover of Expedite Magazine, you won't hear of them from her. We are very lucky to have her here on EO, along with many others...

I listen to classical music sometimes, and wouldn't tell people that, because the perception is that it's a "snobby" thing. The reality is that it helps me to deal with the impulse towards road rage. I read years ago of a study that compared blood pressure while hearing various kinds of music...

Congratulations to both the DDs - it must feel wonderful!

If it weren't for the internet, I probably wouldn't have known expediting even existed. In the early 80's, I lived in New Orleans, and drove 'hotshots' for a guy who serviced the oil industry, but it never ocurred to me that basically the same thing exists up north, called 'expediting' - I...

I met mine this year - did you? Specifying the goal(s) is not necessary, just let us know how successful you were/are, whatever you wanted to achieve in 07.

Maybe a "senior moment", mistook EO for his blogsite?

Last month, I sat for 3 hrs on the intersate in Pa - couldn't even get any info from oncoming traffic, as they'd been diverted off before the accident site. I really wonder why we weren't given the same break, especially as I learned later, the accident was on the other side, and occured 3 hrs...

It's small, lightwieght, inexpensive, and secure - excellent! Thanks for finding & sharing it.

It tastes even better when you add Kahlua :9 but since we can't do that in the truck, I stick to hot tea instead. 'Constant Comment' has a wonderful orangey aroma, and is zero calories, if you use Splenda, Equal, or Stevia, instead of sugar.

Besides the weather, another reason to go to Fla now is the red navel oranges - they're only in season from Dec through March, and are worth having to DH out, IMO. (If you're planning to buy some to share with the folks back home, buy a LOT of them):9
