"Driver entry looks awkward"? It looks darn near impossible! :P And Rex - if any of us could help ourselves, this site wouldn't be half as much fun! :+ Satnav aside, is it a 'Sprinter Killer'? Or a Sprinter Copycat?

O, give me a run Where construction's all done, And the traffic jams are far away, Where I won't spend my time Just waiting in line, And the slow pokes get out of my way! Home, home, on the road, Going to deliver this load, I'll drive here to there, How far? I don't care - (I had a...

I'd like to add my thanks to you for sharing your experience. We all like to share the good stuff, but would rather keep the misjudgements to ourselves, so I know it wasn't easy for you. Putting it out there, though, might give pause to someone who is ready to go buy that pricey Sprinter, or...

Count me in - Sat afternoon, please, wherever you can use me. Just tell me where to go - I'm used to that, lol. We're gonna have a good time! :)

Greg: Bravissimo! I think you handled it just right - everyone was happy, no? Still, you might want to avoid that particular Starbucks in the future - they might learn that you deceived them, you know...is Signore Bezzare even alive, still? Or did you make him up entirely? ;)

The most wickedness I get up to these days is moving all the utensils on the buffet from the right side to the left :P Cheri

I was in Pa all weekend, but not on the road or at a truckstop - was at my daughter's, enjoying the family I hadn't seen since Christmas. They live on top of a hill that I doubt I could get a straight truck up, but the view is killer, and if little girls blowing bubbles in the sunshine doesn't...

So many questions - so few answers, aaaarg! I can't remember exactly what the first repair cost, & don't have the info at my fingertips, (I'm on the road, in Va, at the moment), but I do know that it cost less, including the tow charge, than the second repair, which did not require a tow. The...

That's Amore! ;)

Very few owners will pay for fuel, for the very good reason that they have no control over how much of it you use. Some drivers can be incredibly waseful, between bad driving habits, getting lost, sightseeing, personal errands, etc. Perhaps you could drive for an owner who is with a carrier that...

Having had the second repair done, (& paid for) already, that's not possible. I can, however, write a nice letter, informing the shop owner of my request, (reimbursement for the second repair, AND the load I was forced to transfer because of it), and what I can do should he not comply - starting...

So, wouldn't the actual beginnings of what we do be the Pony Express Riders? Cool! Please tell me that expediting & hotshot driving are the same - I so enjoyed listing my occupation as "hotshot driver" on official forms, lol ;)

Two days ago, the bearing in the front passenger wheel on my Dodge van went bad - again. It had been replaced in mid February, less than 60 days earlier. I asked the mech who replaced it whether the first repair was defective, & all he would say was that it shouldn't have gone bad this fast. (Is...

This seems like a good time to ask something I've wondered - is there a difference between expediting & hotshots? Because I drove hotshots for a guy who owned a small trucking firm in New Orleans, back in the early 80's, & it was pretty much the same thing as expediting. (I thought the...

Bad spellers: untie! :)

Because knowledge is power - thanks Lawrence. :)

Sorry to disappoint, JoeBob, but I'm too tired for fireworks at the moment. (Although, I just now read the post where you called me "cute", which I haven't been since I was 5, & offered to pinch my cheeks - try it, & you'll get fireworks, ok?) I am not a member of either party - they both make...

BP - you're one in a million! Your daughter is lucky to have you, & I bet she adores you, too. You have your priorities in the right order, all right. Memories aren't expensive things - they're priceless....:)

I knew one driver who had a magnetic basketball hoop that he put on the back door of his truck, which usually made it the most popular truck in the lot, and another who took his 10 speed bike everywhere, just to get away from the lot. What you do to pass the time is: 1 Think about what you...

Leo - people weren't meant to live in that much space either, lol. We do it because it's worth the inconvenience - and a dog who is loved, & properly cared for, will be happier for the companionship than one who has lots of room, to be alone in, all day long. Lots of research has shown that pets...
