    Larry Brown Ticketing Truckers

    Could you tell us a bit more about him? I've never heard of him. When you get a ticket, you send the fine to the jurisdiction where you got the ticket. Why would someone give this guy money?

    truck stop bums

    I just give them a flat no, with no qualifying story. If they think I'm a cold hearted *******? All the better... I've been approached pretty much everywhere. The only repeat offender I can recall is a guy at the J in Benton Harbor. He needs a little gas money to get to Ann Arbor.

    EOBR - Calendar

    I use a day planner/calender to keep track of per diem days. I use envelopes twice a month to keep a total of expenditures, days out and miles on the truck. I'm a recent convert to DDL on the 'puter for my logs and I really like it.

    Become an Expediter, See the Country

    Seeing the beauty of this great country is a great perk of this biz. I would never run just for fuel money to do it. Ever. That's the part I take issue with. When shippers get a taste of shipping their freight that cheap, they think it should always be so. Yeah, it goes on. I know there's...

    funny

    Good question. We were out of the building about 15 minutes. When we went back in I could smell something, but it didn't smell like gas.

    funny

    This happened just this week. It's not rolling on the floor kind of funny, more like you gotta be kidding me kind of funny. I had a random and I'm standing there with the cup in my hand, ready to go produce my sample, and the building gets evacuated due to a gas leak.

    Max Acceptable S/T truck age to carriers

    That's the answer. Many carriers, while having a rule in place, will go on a case by case basis. You may have a truck that's a year or two beyond what they've said they'll accept, but if it's in real good shape they'll make an exception. You've been told 10 years old on a cargo van?

    Excellent Moot! I'm tellin' ya, you should be taking Art Buchwald's place. "Tangled Up In Blue" is my favorite Dylan tune. I heard he wrote it as he rode on a chrome horse with his diplomat, who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat. What the #%*% was he talking about, anyway?

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    The same kind of people that make choices like jumping out of an airplane, knowing that if the chute doesn't open it won't be good? I've been told that's not a good analogy, but I'm not so sure. I find the "it's a choice" argument to, sometimes, be supported by the points of the other side...

    All state express

    He didn't ask for it? I believe he did. As far as newbs being afraid to post, anyone that's so insecure about their beliefs that they freak out if someone posts a contrary view probably shouldn't be posting anywhere on the internet.
