I think I know what you mean oldprof, I dont' know what the technical name for it is, but I've alway heard it called "Road Hypnosis"... basically, if you just sit and stare at the road, the lines and reflectors going by in the same rythm will 'hypnotise' you and put you to sleep. One of the...

Sorry guys, I went to edit the "Imagine the possibilities" thread (about the 40 ft cabover on ebay) of an inappropriate reply, and I hit the 'remove' instead of 'edit' function.. Dreamer [img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_18_5.gif"]

And don't forget that guy that "Ain't got no panties on"... [img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_12_3.gif"]

Thanks for the input and reminder Raceman. I hope everyone will take a deep breath and step back for a sec before responding in such situations. Dreamer

I'm sorry folks, I believe this thread has gone far enough, and has once again degenerated, and instead of removing every personal comment which is spread among the good advice, it will now be locked. Any further responses to Big Dog's original question, could be perhaps sent to him in a...

Sawbones, I know you asked about "Minimum", but may I suggest you get everything you can. It doesn't cost extra to take the extra tests, at least in Ohio, but if you leave one off.. (as I did) and then go back because you need it at another job, you have to do everything again. Having the...

Welcome to the forum Wildchild.. and glad to see the McBrides still helping folks! They've always been known for straight shooting! Dreamer

RE: White Glove SHEESH! For those who took offense, go back and re-read, and look a little closer... as in below! I understood what ya meant DD, as in the "professional" uniforms of the 'Canadian' White Glove, no insult to FedEx WG was implied.. in fact, I beleive that was precisely the...

Thanks for the info ATeam, one of the best links I've seen posted. This would appeal to me much more than some museum (no offense to museum lovers!) Definately one to keep. Dreamer

justdoit/kswish You are very welcome to return and post here. I believe it was brought up because of your very vocal exit. However, we all know emotions ran high during that time period, and many made comments, and found out, as McBride says, it still all depends on who's planting the...

The Business Plan thread has been temporarily removed for review by our moderators. Thanks for your understanding, Dreamer

Just wanted to let you all know I moved the ProHeat and Alumibunk threads to Truck Topics. Thanks, Dreamer

For those who don't mind doing so, we would appreciate prayers and good thoughts for a driver friend of mine. He is a former OTR driver who now drives locally for a dump truck company. Last week he was here helping me move, today his entire home burned to the ground. Bad part is, having...

Dear Friends and Family, ... Be on the lookout - new scam. ... This new scam is being pulled mainly on older men who are apparently past the age of giving a running pursuit. What happens is that when the intended victim stops for a red light, a completely nude and good looking, nicely tanned...

> > >My "C" (FL MBE 260 6pd)gives 11.3 mpg. Consistantly. I thought that would be about right... 9-11 mpg on a good setup... I didn't know of any getting more than that tho, as he said he wanted to hold out for. Dreamer

One thing that also needs to be considered, is where the driver/drivers are based out of. Some may need to stay OUT 2-3 weeks at a time to make money, others, may just need to stay IN SERVICE. For instance, someone living out of the main expedite routes, ie, out towards Kansas, etc, may need...
