President Bush recently made a reference to 'junk lawsuits', and this is a classic example - but rather than curtail the rights of people who have legitimate cases, as they usually do, there should be a screening system to filter out the frivolous lawsuits. Maybe a retired judge would handle it...

Pelicn: on the QC fields that don't apply to your truck, can you put N/A for not applicable on the line, just to get the QC to accept it? It has worked for me, on other screens.

I'm like Linder - I hate to see people get away with such rude behavior, and I won't let them in front of me. There is a really simple way to stop them, though: a sign saying "Use both lanes to merge point, take your turn" Just as we learned in kindergarten: it's quicker, and I wonder why it...

RE: landstar/7yrs/super A lot depends on where I'm sitting: if I go to Laredo, I expect to sit a few days - if I'm in Dodge City, Ks, I'm just gonna U turn and head east immediately. If I'm not sure, I just call Bryan for expert advice, lol. Cheri, cargo van, Panther

Jefferson: ODND means 'on duty, not driving', like the time you spend fueling, doing a pretrip, etc.

883. :o :o

Now that you've got the freeze out of the way, you can look forward to the fog, and the blinding rainstorms, and the sun glare during rush hour driving - there's just so much fun ahead, lol. Seriously: take it easy, and trust your judgement on when NOT to drive, and you'll get to experience the...

A van from U Haul would be worth looking into, as the recent weather has cancelled a lot of flights, which puts the rental car companies in big demand. If I were home, I'd give Art a ride, but I'm sitting in Hopkinsville, Ky, :-( freezing & sneezing, mostly.

Teehee, good one Rich. They were almost as dumb as the guy who robbed a convenience store, then walked home - in fresh snow, lol. "Criminal stupidity" is kind of redundant, though, when there's so many ways to rob people legally - like the deal Panther Art just posted on...x( Or the banks...

Or maybe you don't see it cause it's moved to the parking lot in front - I hadn't even got backed into a spot last week, when a woman approached to tell me how hungry she was. I gave her some crackers & peanut butter, and she didn't bother me any more, lol. ;)

I'm sure I would be the best dispatcher I've ever had - right up until I got fired for blatant favoritism, anyway. ;)

I would question whether the imposition of this fee is grounds for wondering about the financial health of the carrier - how many successful and profitable companies have continued cost cutting measures such as reduction of the workforce, simply to create more profit?

Linder, last weekend, I was in Pa helping my daughter move, and she tossed together a really easy Chicken Stroganoff dish that I bet you could do in the crockpot: chicken, mushrooms, onions, cream of chicken or mushroom soup, [or both], a bit of rosemary, and sour cream, over noodles - yummy...

It would be nice if everyone could believe they're hearing the truth, whether they're hearing it from a driver or dispatcher, but we all know that isn't always the case - some people will exaggerate, tell only some of the truth, or just flat out lie. So I don't take offense at having my...

I recently spoke with another driver in Jacksonville, and we were both told we were first out, too - so I guess if dispatch at Panther says you're first out, the next question needs to be: how many others are, too?

Nashville: all day rain, but no power outages, and none of that four letter word SNOW, either. Hope you're stayin warm & safe, Dreamer :(

Now that's my kinda cop!:) :) :)

Given the presence in her room of both prescribed and illegal narcotics, her having been named the day before her death in a lawsuit against Slimfast, depression over her son's recent drug induced death, and her obvious emulation of Marilyn Monroe, my feeling is it was a deliberate suicide. Sad...

Smitty. any workshop or training seminar hosted by EO is worthwhile to attend - not only for what you will learn, but also some great contacts, and the beginning of your own network of helpful people to chat with. Next month's MATS in Louisville will have a lot of opportunities to talk to...

The thing I dislike about labeling is that it pretty often leads to name calling, which is just a substitute for actual thinking. I don't call myself a liberal, as others do, and yet I am 100% behind the original post. Especially #12 - I am continuously in awe of the selfless attitude of the men...
