RE: how to make inputs Which came first: drivers ignoring the suggestions, believing them to be inaccurate, or the suggestions being inaccurate, because drivers ignore them? Either way, it's a Catch 22, and if Panther can offer some(at least probably) accurate info, more drivers will use it...

Poison, if that's all you see, you're missing a LOT. Sure, there are some personality conflicts here - it's a community of extremely independent personalities, it happens, ya know? I think most of us really are here to help each other, offering knowledge, ideas, experience, or even a laugh -...

RE: police state "Civil anarchy" - I like it! I think that will be my next bumpersticker :7

A "simple pretrip"? Greg, the test I took (granted, it was in the "show me" state, lol) included 105 separate items on the pretrip - if that's simple, I'd hate to see the complicated one! But I agree 100%: every driver should be as familiar with their truck as say, their toothbrush. I am...

TC, I wish it were like that, but what happens when one party turns out to be unethical? How does the other party get what's owed? Whether owner or driver, both parties are at risk in a business relationship, and most of us have learned the hard way, that some folks aren't truthful for very long...

I'm confused: you "speed in the truck, so you're at fault" - for what? Speeding tickets? If so, he's right. But if you don't have speeding tickets, what's his reason for complaint? Does he pay for the fuel? If he does, speeding uses more of it, but if you pay for fuel, again: what's his reason?

RE: Laguna Burger, Laguna Indian Reservation New M While stuck in Atlanta for truck maintenance/repair recently, I was watching tv, and saw that one station posts restaurant scores on cleanliness, food handling & storage, etc. A great idea - I wish more would publicize the info. THAT'S...

In other words: teaching someone how to fish, instead of handing them dinner - aka: tough love! IMO, knowing the answer to any question isn't half as important as knowing where to find the correct answer when you want it, and that's what Greg was telling you - where to find the answer that is...

On a baby stroller: "Remove infant before folding stroller" On my curling iron box: "Do not use while sleeping" (Darn - it would sure save time, lol);)

No one can answer the question "Is it worth it?" except the person asking the question. For those who couldn't make it work, for whatever reason, it wasn't worth it. For those of us who are making it work, for however much longer we continue to make it work, it is worth it. But how can anyone...

Pappy, that is a wonderful idea! Besides providing traction on ice, you could wear them whan you want to sand some flooring, too!:+

Greg was doing a good thing: teaching you to fish, rather than handing you a dinner.

Maybe because they feel it's their carrier that's slowing down, and a different carrier might keep them running? Maybe just the need to DO something, besides sit & wait for the next load.

I almost always stop in when I'm in Detroit, because the Detroiter has one thing I haven't found anywhere else: cheap books! I don't pay to park, though, making sure I'm out in less than the 4 hrs that are free. Considering how high the price of everything is at every truckstop, charging for...

If neccessity is the mother of invention, thriftiness is the grandmother - it's great to find ways to spend less money, lol.

>oh man I am not a goofball? One less title I can have..... Greg, correct me if I'm wrong, but was it not YOU who requested the Fuzzy Cuddly Bunnies Forum that enjoyed a short, but lively run here? If so, you may definitely claim the title of goofball! ;)

Turtle, that was impressive - my eyes are crossed, my brain is numb, but I do appreciate the expertise you've shared. I now have a question: My truck has 8 batteries: a starter, a bank of six in an outside box, and one on the generator. Would I need 3 monitors to keep an eye on, as they're in 3...

If posting an essay on the evil of wasting blinker fluid (to cite just one example), and requesting, and getting, a forum for Cuddly Fuzzy Bunnies, doesn't qualify Moot & Greg as goofballs, then I'm sorry....NOT!:P Really - snorting whatever beverage I'm drinking when I read some of the stuff...

I too, am happy to hear of a resolution. TC's advice is good, but I'm afraid in this day & age, a contract is pretty much a neccessity - if it isn't documented, it doesn't mean anything. Verbal promises on either side are worthless, if a dispute arises. One thing I'd add: if you do have a...

My first reply considered the idea seriously, because ATeam is a serious poster, and never participates in the goofiness that some of us enjoy. After that, however, the goofballs chimed in, and what can I say? All work and no play, you know the rest - and a dull EO would be a ghost town, IMO...
