I look on this forum, and I see all of these names floating by, and I wonder where they came from. Some are pretty obvious, others real creations. So just to satisfy my curiosity, tell us where you got the name you use here, or the CB handle you use on the road. My name, here on the forum, is my...

Lawrence..I have probably used the Atkins diet longer than anyone on this forum. It has been my principal weight regulator for years. If you read my two previous posts, I pretty much summed it up. And I would venture to say I tried ALL the popular diets over the years. I tried the low fat, when...

Sam has been in the computer business for 25 years and is finally sick of the stress. He quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Minnesota as far from humanity as possible. Sam sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise, it's total peace and quiet. After six...

In the days of the Wild West, there was a young cowboy who wanted more than anything to be the greatest gunfighter in the world. He practiced every minute of his spare time, but he knew that he wasn't yet first-rate and that there must be something he was doing wrong. Sitting in a saloon...

As I've Matured... I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just buttholes. I've learned that...

I don´t often get stuck on an internet search, but I searched all over the net trying to find price comparisons on rebuilding heavy truck engines. Does anyone out there know a web site that lists prices of rebuilding the big engines? Or, does anyone know the average cost of rebuilding a cummins...

A follow up: I think I´m pretty much average in my rate of weight loss on this diet. The hard part is sticking to it, at the family functions, parties, and special occasions. On the road, it´s easy. of course it gets boring at times, but yu have to hang in there. You just have to stick to meat...

I thought I´d start a new thread about this topic, and give you my firsthand experience. Tony, consider this as a reply to your previous post. First, let me say that the Atkins diet has been around a long time.It used to be called "The drinking man´s diet", because it allowed you to drink red...

I read an interesting article in one of the trucking magazines that I feel is worth mentioning in the ongoing discussion on this forum about the possible effects of the new HOS rules. It had to do with the shippers and receivers, having no resposibility in lowering driver fatigue, nor do they...

Trucking will continue to change and adapt to market forces. There didn´t used to be warehousing on wheels, there didn´t used to be cross docks, and there didn´t used to be expediting. And most of all there didn´t used to be deregulation.Look at trhe mileage rate that is paid to drivers. The...

I read the long thread about the new HOS rules, and decided it was time to start another one, as it is such a controvesial topic. First of all I think the jury is still out on the effect it will have. In my opinion it would be no major task for trucking companies to essentially mete out thier...
