What's that black "void" at bottom right? I thought that was your left nostril. I was actually going to ask what kind of camera and macro lens you used to take the picture of a semi-squished flying ant on your nose. But if that's your head, wow, that musta hurt. <cringe>

Yeah, I am. If your purpose was to compose this in a confusing manner, so as to illustrate how confusing the subject matter is, you did an excellent job. The very first sentence confused me, and it was downhill after that. "Let's say you have 14hr day drive for 6hrs." What does that mean...

You can go to the Web site and post all the questions in the world, and read every scrap of information available, and you'll be only marginally better off. The Driver Council was ready, willing and able to offer input as to the new changes and how they were to be implemented, but they were...

You need a Blu-ray player to play Blu-ray discs, same as you need a DVD player to play DVD discs. It's basically that simple. Blu-ray players are backwards compatible, and will play Blu-ray discs, as well as DVD's and CD's. Blu-ray discs have Hi-Definition video, DVD's have Standard...

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Clean Lint Filter Extends Life of Dryer It's true, by the way, but they also point the need to clean the moisture sensor screen when you clean the lint filter, as same waxy buildup that gets on the lint filter will also get on the sensor screen.

"Oooh! Look! There's a bug on my nose. Quick, someone take a picture!" Thats what it looks like to me. Then again, I see Jesus in the clouds. No, wait, that's Pedro. Never mind.

One thing I really like about DeLorme is that is gives you the option of manually adding a new road that is doesn't know about. You're on some new bypasss driving through what DeLorme thinks is farmland, and you can tell it to add the route as a new road. It's very kewl. The new I-40 bypass...

Moot: The miles on the load offer and on the load receipt should match the loaded miles shown online under Open Payables. It's what is showing in the Open Payables that you will be paid. There have been a couple of times when the load receipt matched the load offer, but the Open Payables showed...

Well, a D unit would probably get something in the neighborhood of, what is it, $150, $200? Something like that. As for the no-hotspot and first out, if they pay $100 for a mini, you get no First Out. That's what the extra money is for. (Currently, it's $50 plus a First Out for a cargo van). If...

Depends on the segment of the trucking industry. Rand McNally TripMaker doesn't do an "as the crow flies" routing, but it does often do more of a "Household Good Miles" which is what a lot of moving vans use. Most in the trucking industry are moving away (have already) from TripMaker and/or...

That's one thing about the GPS (I have a Garmin), when I plug in the addresses, if the mileage is considerably off and I can't reconcile it by using "quickest" or "fastest" route via truck or car, and can't reconcile it with Street and Trips, if there's just no way to drive it for that number...

I can't disagree at all about paying $100 a pop for minis, as many of them can take a sizable chunk out of your day. One from Detroit to Windsor can take up 6 hours or more. I had one the other day that I went over and picked up in Windsor, was delayed 7 hours waiting for the thoroughly...

That "load receipt" disclaimer is mostly a load of crap. The miles listed is the same number of miles that was on the load offer, and they will not change unless the load gets swapped out. If the load offer said 582 miles then the load receipt will say 582 miles, and that's how many miles you...

A Toilet Paper Wick Heater: Remove the cardboard tube from the toilet paper. Crush the roll as tight as you can. Flat, even. Place the toilet paper into the coffee can. If you have a large coffee can, you can use 2 or even 3 rolls of toilet paper. Make sure the top of the toilet paper is below...

Well, it kind of is different. The first out was given to get them to take the load to a place they knew they'd have a hard time getting anything out of. I've gotten first outs in that same situation, and I've had people jump me for the same exact scenario. It's hard to get mad at that. That's...

If you're not a leg man or a butt man or something, then I'd say that pretty much always a D is gonna be preferred to a C.

I ran into one guy who did that very thing. He was 6' 8". He just insulated the door the best he could, used a bunch of blankets at the footwell and stepwell by the door (sliding door, too), and dealt with it. He basically didn't use the side sliding door at all, just used either the driver door...

When you take a load out to BFE, one of the risks is not getting another load quickly, whether you sit right there or move to another location. If I take a short 90 mile run to Memphis, to get to a better location, I shouldn't be penalized just because someone chose to sit for 2 days, 250 miles...

Yeah, the whole deal prior to truck stop scanning was all about either faxing it in from someplace, but they had too many faxes they couldn't read, or by scanning it as pdf and e-mailing it in. I bought my all-in-one for the same purpose, at the same time, because of the memo/qc/driver-web...
