    Flying J no Showers in future

    TA is doing a much better job with their showers. I've recently used Monroe, Mi., Commerce, Ga., and Breezewood, Pa. All very clean and decent.

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    It's raining very hard here in Augusta, Ga., but it's not raining frogs, so I think we're O.K. for the time being.

    Personal Conveyance Use Of Truck

    And there it is. It all comes down to an individual officers view and whether he wants to make it an issue. It's about as confusing as trying to interpret the Bible, isn't it?

    Personal Conveyance Use Of Truck

    So if you get stopped you show them you're off duty, open your box to show it's empty and it's all good, right?

    Humour?

    Of course it was funny. I think the first time I heard it the hunters were Newfies. You'd have thought it was hilarious then, eh?

    Visibility Study

    A study is needed to determine that it's better to be able to see better? I wonder how many of my tax dollars are being spent on this?

    Where to do Hazmat Certification

    Your local DMV should have study materials available. I just go pick up the book when it's time to renew, go through the hazmat section, then go down while it's fresh in my head and take the test. They'll also be able to tell you what you'll have to do to get finger printed and have the...

    Speeding in Ohio

    I was made aware of the Mich law back in the 70s. I was pulled over in my 68 Camaro and was told of the list of violations I could be written for, the speed law being one of them. He wrote me for noise and said if I got quieter mufflers I wouldn't have to pay a fine. Nice guy...

    Speeding in Ohio

    The question makes it sound like this is something new. It's not. In Michigan it's called something like violation of the basic speed law.

    How foolish some members are....

    Good thread OVM. I delivered in Jackson, Mi. Friday morning, which is about as close to home as I get. I've been out 2 months, but I just can't justify going home when freight's moving as well as it is. I've also been loaded all but, I think, 2 of the weekends during that time. 1 of those...

    Roadcheck 2010

    Aren't these the very people we want to see checked out during this annual event? I'm with Phil on this, no big whoop. I have no reason to think that an inspection this week will be any different than the 4 that I've had in the last 4 months. I'll have my ducks in a row and I'll pass. For a...

    1.20 /mile expedite freight

    To some, those are almost fighting words. I pointed that out once to someone talking about running cheaper because of a paid off truck and got cyber yelled at! Sometimes you just have to pause and wonder...

    Two Computers One truck dilemma

    I recently got a new Verizon air card through Best Buy and had no problem having my unlimited plan grandfathered into the new contract. I wasn't even expecting that, I thought I'd be stuck with the limit.

    Glenn Beck Goes 'Over the Line' by Mocking Malia

    The dude can make himself cry on cue. That talent should be getting him 20 million a movie and he probably wouldn't have to work nearly as many hours. He's just another DJ that said, "Hey, if Rush can do it, so can I." I've seen Mancow pop up on Fox News. This is a guy that failed at the...
