If you get a Memory Foam topper, it can be cut to fit with regular scissors. :)

I wonder if the drivers who complain about getting "only 2100 miles a week", or the " worse half" of a switch, or another driver getting out ahead of them from the truckstop, realize how much they sound like 4 year olds, complaining that they got a smaller half of the cookie! Other drivers are...

It should be required viewing for everyone in America! I, for one, am sick of the way the guilty party's family immediately files a suit against the police, and is usually aided & abetted by "civil rights" groups in their effort to blame law enforcement for harming their precious gangster. I...

I'm going to hijack this thread now, but y'all were pretty much done with it anyway, right? :P Letzrock's sigline is truly apropos on the Tristate tollway in Chicago: the man who put the (broken) white lines on that highway had either an equipment malf or a serious disorder goin on - not one...

Colonel, I mentioned "getting on my nerves" because BBB said that they sometimes do. And if I require a blinking light to point out that something's happening ahead, I'm not paying attention, and probably ought to get off the road till I can. Is it your goal here on EO to make people wish...

Greg, I did the truck stop internet at first, but then found what was Freedomlink, & is now ATT Wifi. I paid $20 per month for unlimited access, at places like McDonald's, UPS Stores, Barnes & Noble Bookstores, and the best part is the phone number you can call 24/7/365, where a person will tell...

Good point, Terry - we have a Metroparks Drive here in Northeast Ohio that also forbids commercial vehicles, & I've had to give up some of my favorite shortcuts, and the pleasure of driving through the lovely, leafy shade in the summer, & leafpeeping in the fall.:-(

And the driver lost his commercial license...What I thought was funny, though, was that the amount would have been a felony, had it belonged to one person, which apparently the partiers knew, because they all claimed some of it was theirs, lol. Just can't imagine a scene where 5 people are...

> >I thought it was odd that ABC had Wife Swap with a Prirate >family last night. Considering the flap over Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, I'd think it odd that any tv station would have a "wife swap" with anyone - what's this country coming to, anyway?!

Greg, you've totally lost me on this one - what's the problem with that? It sounds like fun, even if the Do-Not_Call list means I won't get to hold him to the phone when soliciters call...:)

Thanks for the info-they've never "gotten on my nerves", I was just wondering. And I know BBB is right: surprising any driver is bad, and surprising a t/t driver is really bad, but surprising an oversize load driver is really, really bad! I imagine they're darn near blind, with the mirrors...

Jeez, I thought my 28" bunk was ok, till I read how much room everyone else has, lol - now I feel crowded. I'll probably get claustrophobic, even, having to sleep in such a tiny space! :+ Seriously, though, one way to make the bunk a good place to sleep, is to invest in the best quality bedding...

Mike, you're not WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, you're just more comfortable with gambling than some of us, is all. :)

Ok, that makes sense - I just couldn't figure out why the vehicle with the height pole was so far behind, lol. :7

Can someone explain, please, what the purpose of an escort vehicle is, for an oversized load? I keep seeing them driving so far behind the load that they don't seem to be much use - what are they supposed to be doing?

RE: Keep Warm RE: Winter Driving Keep us informed, please, cause I'd sure enjoy hearing those sleigh bells singing...:+

Dan, I can't answer the question, but the first person I'd ask, is one who advertises their work as "DOT legal", - not that I'd trust the reply, I'd just want to hear it, lol. I'd bet someone on here can find the right answer, though :)

Scott, I'd say the proper forum for your question would be "Ask the recruiter", because there's no sense doing anything to your van, if you don't know whether any carrier is taking on vans, or whether they would accept yours, if they are. You'd probably do best to check with the many carriers...

Jeff, I too, thank you for your input. I'm a former ConWay O/O, & I have some questions that really don't require an immediate reply, so I'd rather not call & tie up a dispatcher, (all of whom, BTW, have tried to be helpful in a situation that's tough on all of us who didn't expect it.) Is...
