    Life sure is getting silly....

    Gee Cheri, you seem to be saying "sophomoric humor" like it's a bad thing. No doubt, there are clearly some posts counts that are hugely inflated with idle, private conversation kind of chit-chat.

    I had to laugh about that when I mentioned the former VP once. But, lets say the former VP was of Chinese decent and named Harry Wang. Would that be O.K.? Yep, nothing wrong with that. Harry Wang...

    On duty time includes waiting to be dispatched.

    It would be logged on the bottom line. Most carriers include a document in their permit books that release a driver from responsibility when waiting at a dock. You can then log 15 minutes to check in and dock, then if you're there for a couple hours that can be sleeper berth. As far as...

    FL70 sleeper gasket

    What's a condo sleeper gasket? Are you talking about the boot that's between the cab and the sleeper of an areodyne sleeper? Call the sleeper manufacturer.

    DOT bans texting for drivers

    I wonder if the driver of the T/T that was wedged under a bridge in Chicago that was very clearly marked 12'4" last week was "just following my Garmin"?

    Idleaire closes

    Not much of a shock. It seemed way to expensive to me. The money spent on that, when available, would be better spent on an APU that's with you all the time. My aircard and DirecTv, along with the Rigmaster, give me Idleaire everywhere I go.

    I've been on a pretty good roll and just didn't want to disrupt the mojo. In addition to what you saw, it's also got a cracked windshield. It's time for it's annual DOT so it's time to get it all done. So, my job for the next week is to feed the wood stove, listen to this bulldog snore, and do...

    I'm at the Perrysburg J. Dropping the truck at Toledo Freightliner in the morning for body work from the deer collision. Renting a car and heading home for a week after 3 months out.

    Parking @ the "J" in Olive Branch MS

    I prefer the front when possible, no urine stench. I'm currently in the RV area of the J at Mill Hall, Pa.

    Ok Al...where is the heat?

    12 posts and no one mentioned cow farts? The climate changeists should remind everyone not to confuse weather with climate.

    Do you watch:

    Apparently, Beck said that since the new guy from Mass, Brown, made that lame little joke about his daughters being available, we have to be concerned that he'll sexually assault an intern. I used to listen to Beck occasionally before he was huge and just had his radio show. He didn't seem to be...

    No one seem to notice

    Fox and Friends mentioned it this morning. I checked them out when they first hit the air and found very little substance, just a lot of hysterical yelling. Kind of like Mark Levin without the IQ.

    Eating on the Cheap

    Tropigal, what most of us are trying to do is keep our meal expenses more in line with what we'd spend eating at home. Most "average income" folks don't eat all their meals in a restaurant to keep control of their budget. Those of us that have vehicles equipped with micros and fridges can use...

    Late night TV, who cares?

    Leno is as vanilla as it gets, in a time when comedians need an edge.

    Obviously freight rules aren't for everyone!

    For some reason, Andy Rooney's voice popped into my head as I read the first sentence of your post.

    Ads for non-CDL Drivers

    The federal CDL started in 1990 or '91. Not exactly sure... Prior to that there was just a simple "chauffeurs" endorsement. There was no federal registry.

    Some Preliminary Thoughts on Garmin Nuvi465t

    Most of the time the lame routing isn't a problem. But, once in a while it's a go-go deal to make the pick on time and you just hope the GPS does a good job.
