That's waaay out there, Greg - but if you're correct, maybe the next item on her list is to smooth the roads in Detroit, so drivers will actually be able to drive 70 mph, wasting even more fuel! Then they could remove every third street sign, forcing drivers to drive around looking for streets...

RE: lookout big cat peeps ..what will "brown do fo Are you basing that prediction on your history of successful predictions, or do you know something we don't? :P

Kg: what's with the "helping the customer by arriving hours early, as only a van can"? I can, and often do, get there early in a D unit, and I do it for my own benefit, as well as the customer's - the sooner I get loaded, the sooner I can get delivered, IMO, and be ready for the next load...

No TV in my truck, either - like Mrs. DaveKC, I'd rather have more storage space. The internet, and newspapers provide as much news as I need, and books & the internet provide entertainment aplenty. A Jacuzzi, however, I could use - and I sure like the washer/dryer idea, too. As long as I'm...

I'd rather have a Jacuzzi! ;)

Sounds like they may want to make Linder the trainer, lol. Though I'm sure she's say that she couldn't have done it without Bob, and she'd be right. Great teams take great teamwork, and Bob & Linder are a GREAT team - congratulations to both on a job nicely done!

Turning the phone off when you go to sleep, or silencing it, defeats the purpose - if there were a load offer, and it didn't get through on the QC, (which is one reason for using the text msng), you'd miss it. Another reason is that you may not be sleeping within hearing distance of the QC. I...

Not to belittle your faith, Firegears, or your suggestion, but "a life changing personal relationship" with a Deity can't pay the bills. It may make one feel less stressed over bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossessions, homelessness, and abject poverty, but those are the things we'd like to avoid...

Hats off to FedEx, for sponsoring such a win-win event - I've often wondered why more carriers don't. It sounds like such a fun way to improve the skills we use, and I just wish I could do it, too. Um, what exactly does it consist of, anyway? :+

Yep, the commercialism of EVERYTHING these days is a very bad sign, (pun intended) of the times. If our elected representatives were honest about their sponsors, they'd make NASCAR cars look modest...:(

Robsdad: the single most informative 'truckstop guide' I've found is The Next Exit, available at the Flying Hook for $15. I'd heard it mentioned, but never knew how useful it is, till I ran into Frieghtshaker at a fuel stop in Fla, and he showed me his. (Ok, that didn't quite come out like I...

Nicely done! I think it's beeautiful! It'd look great even done in other colors, though blue & purple are my favorites. Just out of curiosity, do you do other people's trucks? And what would you charge for it, if you did? If you haven't considered it before, I bet you could make it a very...

TC: Luke Wilson is successful, good looking, charming, and pretty funny sometimes - I just saw "Legally Blonde" the other day, and thought he was great, so you're probably right: he's not my type. But hey, feel free to give him my phone number...:P

My favorite is Freeringers.net, because for $7.99, I can send a ringtone to my cellphone from my own CDs, MP3s, or my library of music online. What I get is the 30 seconds of the song that I want, wherever it occurs in the song, and I can send ringtones to an unlimited number of phones, with no...

Don't think it gets any worse than "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" :o

I'm hangin out in Atlanta for the weekend - really wish I was home, but picked up a load in LA Friday, for delivery Tues morning, and 'home' aint on the way, sigh. Hope everyone who can be with loved ones this weekend is enjoying the bejeebers out of it! ;)

Thank you to all who have done, or are doing, their bit to ensure that we remain free in our country. That includes the loved ones who also have to sacrifice for the good of all. I appreciate it.

Given the DOT's history of asinine 'standards', nothing would surprise me, coming from the desk jockeys. But Dreamer is absolutely correct: there are a lot of potentially dangerous medical conditions that are entirely invisible, so a person who appears to be overweight can actually be a much...

RE: Stuck in Seville, Cleveland, Akron area for Me Talk about being "a day late", I'll be in the area, late Tuesday... :-( I'd like to meet everyone, and hope there'll be another time, one day. :)

Does anyone know whether the famous Hollywood sign in the hills is still there? I seem to remember reading that it was removed, having proven to be a little too popular with the "famous last jump" crowd, which would explain why I couldn't find it today, driving all over Hollywood...Hey - I...
