Attaboy, Broom! Yes, you had some luck there, but you added to it, and that's the way to spell 'success'. ;)

The ad copy says Smartbars are designed for use with a flexible trailer wall, so I wouldn't use it either.

I admit to not being very current on the issue, but I do think that what the govt has done so far isn't working, and wonder whether another country might have a better idea. Can you explain how legalizing it would mean less govt control? I don't get that at all...

Sorry if I offended you, Greg, but when someone criticizes a specific person, such as President Bush, what previous persons have done isn't relevant, IMO. That's history, we can't change it, and it does nothing to justify the current practices. Impeaching Bush would be a good start to getting...

There's no room for them in a civilized society, either. If the govt could control the supply, dealers would be out of business, and users could be segregated from everyone else - I'm envisioning a kind of jail, where they check in to get high, and aren't released until it wears off. Any crimes...

OVM, where did you get the silly idea that "we as a country are trying to become energy independent"? Because some politicians said so, in a campaign speech? (Pause for hysterical laughter) That's just politically correct PR, they don't mean a word of it - if they did, we'd be putting a lot of...

Isn't this similiar to the approach used in the Netherlands, or somewhere like that? I wonder what the results of that program are? It's clear that we aren't winning the 'war on drugs', and need to find different weapons to protect society. I don't think prohibition is working any better than...

Not sure what you're asking - could you clarify the question, please?

Simple answer: we can't - only you & your carrier can answer that question.

The law is meant to remind drivers that obscuring a part of the windshield is creating a blind spot, I think, which is why small items are ok, but larger ones aren't. I hope this means they're going to go after the idiots who clear just a tiny portion of snow from the windshield!

How come the Bush apologists always respond by pointing out what other preidents or the Dems have done? And how can anyone consider 'the media' to be anything other than another corporate tool? They've gone the WalMart route, ie: profit is the only point. Upsetting the source of the profit...

Reverend: I think you're wise to take Leo's advice - he generally has good advice, IMO. Changing carriers isn't an easy decision, but sometimes it's the only right one. There ARE things more important than 'the bottom line' in our lives, I hope. When ethics is one of those things, you can't...

I'd have chosen the Loading Dock, cause it's pretty funny, really. ;)

Greg, there are some truckstops that will allow a charitable cause to set up in their space, if you ask. I recently bought some popcorn, (at 6 times the price I normally pay!), from a Cub Scout who had a table at the Pilot in Seville.

Doctors have been questioning children in order to report their parents to the authorities for a long time, in cases of suspected abuse. This is a legitimate method to uncover abuse, but absolutely wrong for the purpose of reporting on gun ownership, (unless the child was shot.) Hooligan, the...

Exactly - Rich's comment, (which was offensive only because it's a fact: the illegals have, as Leo pointed out, poisoned the well for every honest and lawabiding immigrant. Some of whom are, I'd bet, in everyone's ancestry, mine included) was made in reference to Laredo, which is a well known...

Not having a bad day, just got a nice load, (thank you, Rev. David, if it's that prayer thing, :) ) I just don't like vulgarity, and think we can do better without it, that's all I'm saying.

Let me see if I have this right: you're unhappy that the fleet owner you're driving for isn't mentoring you, or being proactive in finding you loads, when Panther doesn't. Let me just ask this: how 'proactive' were you? Did you try to find an owner who met your requirements, as far as...

The only comment I have here, is that terms like "el pisso" are vulgarisms we can do without, ok?

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower To answer Tom Tinker's question, the thread switched directions because that's what conversations do, lol. I'm with Pelicn: I enjoy work, but tarps are just too heavy for me, and I don't even want to think about chains!
