:P Ok, now that I got that said, let's hear about the new truck!

I agree - gambling is not a problem for most people, and they have the right to spend their money on whatever they like. Casinos offer more than just gambling, which would be the reason I'd go to one, if I went. I was just commenting on how much of a profit they appear to make - clearly, they...

Yep, that's the best thanks - followed, of course, by "You cooked, I'll clean up" ;)

My goal isn't to make a million, which is pragmatic, seeing as how I'm just half a team, and not the financial whiz half, either. My goal is to be self sufficient, to have work to do, and do it to the best of my ability, every day. I've successfully raised one daughter, who is a happy and...

Here's another tip: check the "Have you seen this expediter" thread in the Layover Lounge forum, and make note of the drivers you'd especially like to talk to, or avoid, lol, if you ever find yourself parked at the same place. Wouldn't it be a bite to spend a day in a truckstop, bored to tears...

I can't remeber the next step of Robert's Rules, but count me in favor of the motion, too. :)

Panther just tooted mine, by sending a QC message saying that I'd been selected to run a load for a very important customer, though they seem to believe my name is Attention! lol, and the load was to lovely downtown Emporium, Pa, smack in the middle of the mountains. Beginning in the heart of...

RE: A couple of Canadian RE: Truck Driver Slang I always thought the zipper is the rough lane departure warning strip, cause it sure feels like driving on a zipper... Portable parking lot: Truck hauling cars Seat cover: person of female persuasion on the seat Choke n puke: the kind of place...

When you think about how much money the casinos spend, for those luxurious places, headline entertainment, elaborate buffets, free food, drinks, and even rooms for 'high rollers', it should really make you think: they aren't LOSING money, by a long shot. The hypocrisy of the state governments...

RE: Involved with Clinton for President? Be Carefu I think it requires more brains than luck to become a Rhodes Scholar, and I'm sure it requires more brains to do that than become a cheerleader, even if it was an Ivy League University...:P Y'all are working so hard to discredit Hilary...

Since it costs a large fortune to get elected to anything more important than dogcatcher, the winners are by necessity, either wealthy, or very good at raising money from those who have a lot to spare. We can guess how they raise the brazillions of dollars needed to get elected: by promising to...

Does anyone know what hospital Glen will be in? I think it would be great if he could wake up to see dozens of cards from well wishers - he's been such an inspiration to so many of us, and reading them all might help Janice get through those tough days ahead. But where do we send the cards?

I agree with Crazynuff, there - calling in every hour is not a good idea. The more time they spend on the phone with you, the less time they have to find & arrange a load for you! Try to relax, let them know you're ready & willing, and they'll call you. Give it 24 hrs, then call to see if a...

I'm wondering if those of you who have seen Mexican trucks outside the permitted 50 mile radius have ever called the Highway Patrol, or DOT, to report it? Just curious, as I don't think I've ever seen one, but I'd want to report it to the authorities if I did, same as I'd report a drunk driver.

THERE ARE NO DUMMIES HERE! Just a bunch of wise guys...;) And fortunately for the rest of us, some really wise people, too.:)

I remember when the other drivers were the thing that scared me most in Mexico - and our government wants to encourage more interaction with Mexican officials?

Just a wee bit defensive there, Bama? I wasn't referring to you, but to the posts that are so full of errors they're almost unreadable. Is it so hard to use a spellcheck program? If you were referring to me, I'd like to say that I am not well educated - I am, in fact, a high school dropout. If...

"Hate the sin, but love the sinner"? Really, Hedgehog, it's a tough spot to be in - we know there are too many vans, and we often say so, but are we to tell newbies "Go away, you're not welcome"? No matter how long ago, we were newbies once too! What we try to accomplish is a balance, and with...

You meant MESA - what's that, the Mostly Encompetant Spellers Association? :+ :P

This is one time a CB radio is worth it's weight in platinum: if the weather is a concern, listen to what the oncoming drivers are saying, and you might be able to get off the road before it gets that bad.
