    I'm finished with Windows!

    OK here is one thing that apple and Linux seems to be lacking - mapping software. I have yet found mapping software that can be used in our profession and of reasonable standards for Linux based machines. Anyone using MS S&T with Wine? I would like to know if it really works well because I...

    question about randoms

    Was there a failure? I doubt it but have to ask. The other thing is you know you can get the results? The company does not own the results under the privacy laws and the lab has to release the results to you.

    RVs in the truck parking

    I think the RV attitude is such that many think that they have the privilege to park where ever they want to. I have had a few ask me to move and only once I moved - that was because they struggled for 30 minutes to get out then asked nicely and talked to me for 10 minutes then thanked me...

    Help truck stop caused my truck to blow up

    Dude, tell that to the Delaware DOT, I got the lecture about every driver has the responsibility to make sure that their brakes are properly adjust and if they don't know how, to learn. They don't care who does the work as long as the brakes are adjusted properly. I never found anywhere that...

    Unambigously Negative Economic News

    Sorry to be so unrepentant in my statement but I just don’t agree with the excuses for it not happening and this may be where my misplaced passion is coming from. Well ok if they don’t listen, why is that? What do you think causes that apathy for the voters? I can give you...

    1 Week Off Limit

    I am trying to figure out where they lose anything. This should be in their budget to cover an outlay of funds to owners as part of their contractual obligations. If they can't that is poor management, the same goes for changing policies. They don't lose any money and seem to be chasing pennies.

    Will Work For Loads

    Oh I know what you 're saying there. I think that was my initial point but I got wrapped up in the other stuff. I think because I divide the two groups, independent and company owners, I tend to think that there is naturally a carry over from the latter to the former in regards to networking...

    Will Work For Loads

    I am not so sure about this, it takes more then once or a few times to really say that one is successful. I don't see the big deal, maybe it was there was no one able to take the load during the holidays or what ever. Don't forget this is like other businesses that provide services, it may be...

    Unambigously Negative Economic News

    No no no no. The question is how many truckers are willing to take the time to register to vote, to vote, to write, call or visit their representative? I find if they stop crying about the bad conditions they work under and just tell who represents them what they feel like and vote, things...

    question about randoms

    I have been through the proverbial pee test for four straight quarters and was miffed at the fact that I had to pay for it 3 out of the 4 times. I would not sweat about it, this is all normal and be glad it happens. I think that the DOT will be putting out new rules on how the tests are...

    This isn't weird, it is called micromanagement.

    OH boy, I have one very important suggestion - relax! This software is used for thousands of forums and it really is easy to learn. I would start with learning how to navigate. By the way, there is a navigation line above forum description that one needs to get used to. If you get lost...

    To Expedite Or Not To Expedite?

    My advice for what it is worth is as follows; I would explore a possible lateral move to another job first (unless you live in my state Michigan where we are celebrating anyone who gets a job at McDonalds as gainful employment). I would look at how to leverage your experience in and try to...
