Does anyone have current or recent info on conditions in New Orleans? Last time I was there, last Oct, almost NOTHING was open yet! I will be delivering there tomorrow morning, & will try to get online before then. Thanks, Cheri:)

In my opinion, those who say "love it or leave it" are misguided at best, ignorant at worst. Those who speak out, get involved, vote, and make an effort to create an even better America are the true patriots. Trying to export our way of life is hubris of the highest degree - we haven't found...

Thanks for the link - I can hardly wait to make shishkebobs! :9

The yard sign argument is easy to solve: glue the two signs back to back, & plant it sideways, lol. ;)

I have another hypothetical question: if one of your drivers were to have a minor mishap, such as sliding off an icy road, that didn't appear to cause any damage at the time, but some damage was seen during the next scheduled maintenance, who would cover the cost? The owner generally covers...

In regard to Danny's #5 : drivers who pass a long line of people patiently waiting when the lanes are cut back, then put on a signal to move over at the front of the line are always my biggest peeve - I mean really, would they do that if the line was on foot? It's the drivers who let them in I...

Redsnapper: one can believe whatever one wishes, and this one believes the issue of speeding is quite pertinent on a site for drivers. Therefore, I will expand upon my previous comments. I agree that speeding is throwing money away - even without getting a ticket. But mpg didn't used to be an...

While this particular warning was a hoax, I have been known to exceed the speed limit for many years, (though I've reformed, really!), and my own experiences indicate that many localities have been using speeding tickets as a revenue enhancement tool. About three years ago, someone let the...

Oh, don't be picking on Geo, now - his "lanage" is not the easiest to "unstand", but the message is usually sound! I, for one, would not like to see Geo (or anyone) hesitate to post because their spelling or grammar aint perfect. ;)

Isn't freedom of speech a great thing?! :7 Now, I'd like to respond to a couple of Greg's points. First - you're right that I don't understand this war. (Except that I think Bush needed a distraction large enough to draw our attention away from the failure to find Osama. And I also think that...

I don't think I have the knowledge base that some of you have on the issues here, but that never stopped anyone from giving their opinion before, so here goes: Many past presidents had ties to many industries, but - the mega-corporations (oil, banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals, etc) have...

That was cool! I was having fun till I lost Rhode Island! I think I left it in New Jersey :+

Along with the missed income, the hardest thing about the long waits is the feeling that you're not getting snything accomplished at all, I think. So, I have a couple "projects" to work on, like recreating the notebook for load information that's nearly full. A few pages at a time, I'm making my...

Terry and Rene - I second that emotion! :) Cheri

Judging by the time you posted that, I'd say it's probably time you got some sleep, lol. :P Me too, though - my current favorite is "Discover how you, too, can get paid to get loaded! At Expediters Online" :7

Good Lord, I hope Lawrence isn't listening to me - I've thrown a couple rants on here lately, & I don't think our politics are even close to agreement, lol. I think you're safe there, Bob, but if I were you, I wouldn't let Swift find out how much free time you apparently have - in my experience...

I really like the idea of a bumper sticker design contest! Bet there are quite a few artistic talents among the nearly 3000 members. Along with the wise guys - I am imagining some contributions: "Expediters - We're the drivers who shower EVERY week!" or "Don't let that plastic jug scare you -...

JoeBob, what planet do you live on? Because here on Earth, things are different. Unions began to offer the workers some protection from the management that could, and would, grind them up & spit out the bones. Just one example: ever heard of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company of New York? When the...

Seems to me that Leo hit the nail square on it's bean - greed is the root cause. Yes, the unions got way above average wages & benefits for the rank & file, but I'm thinking they would have been laughed out of negotiations if management hadn't set the standard of excessive compensation for...

I like having the radio on, too, especially during the overnight drives, but I'm with Broompilot - if Howard Stern is the only option, then silence is even more golden. I had to listen to him years ago, when I carpooled to school with a friend, because one of our rules was that the driver chose...
