    a cut above part 2

    The study will accurately reflect one persons experience during one trip. That's about it. Since I started driving in '76, I think the big change out here is that there are more of us. There's always been the "10 percenters". That vocal and visible minority that give the group a bad name...

    ..."Let them build their bridge. We've got a really tricked out Big Wheel and a guy that's turned his brain to mush to drive it. I've talked to Travis Pastrana and the crew from the Nitro Circus and they're going to build us a set of ramps. We'll pump Doug up with glue, strap him in the Big...

    Highway Star's agent gets out of a limo. "Where's the producers meeting? Has anyone seen Star?" "Yeah", says Wellarmed, "he's over at the BBQ truck with Chong. Be careful you don't get nailed with the rib bones flying around." "Star! Baby! Great to see you!" He knows he needs to stroke Stars...

    "...My agent tells me you desperately need me in an acting role in this project. So far, I've been happy submitting my script contributions from the resort in the Virgin Islands that I booked for myself and my entourage. If you've all realized how to treat a truly big star, then I think we can...

    ...they ask him to empty his pockets. "Ahhh, you want me to, like, take everything out of my pockets?" "Yes, Mr. Chong." "But that would be, like, invading my personal space, man! I have rights!" "Sorry Mr. Chong, but if you want to get on the plane you'll have to comply." "Ahhh, I gotta go to...

    Garmin c340 minor frustration

    I purchased the updated software for my c330. What I didn't know until I installed it was that it was too big for my unit. I had to drop Canada in order to have the complete lower 48. May not be an issue with a 340...

    CB Radio

    I'll always have one for the reasons that have been mentioned. I run it with the RF gain turned down. Sometimes it is turned off. Album version of "Inagoddadavida" anyone?

    With the help of EO, by the time he hit the water he was a certified diver and was outfitted with complete diving equipment. Hitting the cold water just totally, like, killed his buzz. That's when the reality set in that he would need a new truck. He swam to the surface just in time to see...

    need advice from the seasoned vets

    Gs says he can prove he was co-driver on the "last few hauls". That makes it sound like he didn't stay with the guy very long at all. If that's the case, I'm with Pj. The owner should recoup costs involved with putting this guy on. And, without question, listen up newbs. Get it in WRITING!!!

    "...You'll have to go to my website, cleanandgolden.com. You can purchase all the clean product you need." This really frustrated Doug as he watched the Mexicans sail through customs. The officers were so impressed with the way the Mexicans could bounce the front of the truck, they applauded and...

    CR England

    You'd be better off looking for that in a forum that deals with truckload OTR. If there are people here that have been with them, there probably won't be many.

    Hello I am wondering which company to put a truck on with?

    Well, I'm not sure about that, but someone that calls a guy an idiot and tells people to "suck it" certainly should be banned. Where are ya mods?

    The director steps in again. "Cut!! Cut!! People, we've got to get a grip on this script. It's really out there this time. Am I reading this right? 'A thought entered Dougs head.' I mean, c'mon, let's try to make it somewhat real. And, what's this Kentucky Jelly? I've never heard of it. Is there...

    new to expediting

    I couldn't agree more with that. That's why I joined DD in pointing out how low rent it was for Aaronrocker to name call in that situation. Now, in a forum like the Soapbox where the topics get very personal, there will be some name calling. It goes with the territory. But here, there's just no...

    He won't be able to go home every 2 weeks? Who'll be telling him he can't? He plans to be an O/O so that decision is totally up to him, with no fleet owner to answer to. He may live in an area where the company he's with has customers, in which case they may love it if he were home on weekends...
