Or Cleveland, Ohio...:-(

Rob, I really appreciate your posting the actual regs, because that's what we have to know. All the hearsay in the world won't help if you don't follow the law, so thanks.

Since my recent discovery that I can burn CDs on my laptop, a filesharing site like LimeWire, a box of blank CDs, and Wifi if I'm looking to download new stuff, and I can keep busy all day. Plus, if I should get a load, I can toss all the CDs into my backpack & switch to Streets & Trips for...

Tom: welcome back, & he started it!:P Oh yeah - the only time my truck is rocking is when I have the volume turned up...;)

I subscribed to SimplyAudiobooks, a service like Netflix: you pick a brazillion books, they send you the number you signed up for each month, when you're done listening to it, you drop it in the nearest mailbox in the prepaid little box it came in. I was very surprised to find I don't like...

That was good, but I liked the "Irish sobriety test" even more. :P

ScottandHelen: the first question you asked, "is a small company better?" is one that no one can answer except you. 'Better' means different things to different people, and if there were one company that was better for everyone, we'd all be driving for that company. The pay is also an...

Nice segue, Paul - waltzing is a good exercise, too, lol ;)

I wonder if that explains why my teenage daughter is suddenly very unhappy with her phone, & claims it's not working properly? ;) I wouldn't want one, the cellphone is too small to use the internet, IMO.

Maybe driving: if you're driving anything larger than a cargo van, a sleeper is a legal requirement, because you must log time spent in the sleeper berth, or produce motel receipts upon demand by the authorities, to prove that you spent the legally required time resting in a legally approved...

Greg, those sex change operations really bug you, don't they? LOL :) I don't know how much of a problem that is - when I had medical insurance, Blue Cross wouldn't pay for any procedure that wasn't considered "medically necessary", and I suffered many years of dysmenorrhea [euphemistically...

If you choose to sleep in a motel every night away from home, then you don't need a sleeper. Most of us cannot afford the cost of a motel room virtually every night, though, so if you find a way to do it, I'd be interested in hearing about it.:)

India: it's probably a good idea to list your run numbers on the remarks line, including both if you cover two runs in one day, and if there are no run numbers listed, then you'll know that any drive time that day was not on a load. It's just a few keystrokes, why not?

No American with an ounce of civic responsibility objects to paying taxes - we like our roads, police & fire service, schools, libraries, public parks & boat ramps, etc. We do object to taxes that are levied as a 'temporary' measure, but become a permanent fixture - the 2006 tax refund of the...

Truckergirl: I agree with bryan 100%, because my situation is very similiar to hers - the annual cost of living raise doesn't trickle down this far, but the cost of living pays no attention, and keeps going up. However, if you don't have a household to maintain, or kids to support, and can keep...

Panther can not, and does not, force you to go anywhere. They do, however, penalize you for refusing to go to Canada, by decreasing your CPM rate by .02, I believe. The penalty does not apply for refusing one or two loads, but a blanket refusal to go. I'm not sure when that point is reached, if...

>The jab comes from your use of the word "boast." When a >member states what he or she has or does not have in the >truck and how it is used, it is not a boast. Characterizing >the post of such is unfair and inaccurate. The very least >you could do, if you are going to refer to the member's...

When individual insurance agents can afford to rent billboards, and have stand alone offices, you know they're raking in serious money! I just read today that one of the biggest causes of the health care mess is the outrageous profits for the prescription drug industry, as well - maybe if our so...

I've come to think of Laredo as The Hotel California...

Thanks, Coco - just in time, too, the holiday excesses are beginning to appear...Ya know, I always thought the term 'middle age spread' referred to the age, not the part that spreads!:+
