I'd bet that smoking would account for the majority of the deaths that bring our expectancy 10 years lower. Not simply being a truck driver.

It seems I remember hearing that the reset is longer in Canada, 35 or 36? No?

Sounds like the Trucking Gods were speaking to you. Enjoy your retirement! What's next, golf?

Hmmm.... I'm just trying to picture what you'd look like standing on a roof shouting "I'm a Golden God!";)

It's really not that out of reach financially. I took out a loan for mine. I can make the payment, put fuel in it, maintain it, and still be ahead of the game as opposed to idling.

The secret to success has been discussed here before. It's air tabs.

Why would it be lame? Had I stayed in a motel, and away from home, there would have been per diem. I saved the government some money. And, Lord knows, they need all the help they can get!

The carrier has to show what was charged for a specific load if it's paid by percentage. They're not obligated to show a rate sheet that shows a list of customers and the agreements they have with them.

I haven't been audited.

I rented one to go home when I was broke down. My CPA asked me about it, if I had used it to move some freight. Since I hadn't, he thought it wouldn't be deductable. When I said that a motel would have been about the same price, he said that made sense and we used the deduction.

My deepest sympathy to you and yours.

The difference between a DO and a MD is that the Osteopaths take a more wholelistic(yeah, I can't spell it right) approach. The MD will concentrate on whatever your complaint is, while the DO will ask many more general questions. I was seeing a DO for a while and he never wanted to crack my spine.

Greg, is there a beer surcharge? If so, we can negotiate that rate.

DOT physical by a chiropractor? What's next, a "massage therapist"?

Lou's humor is, without question, a highlight of EO. The Loading Dock has been a forum where the guidelines have been a bit looser. I don't know of Lou's jokes ever being a problem, until now. I guess most of us aren't wound up as tight as you Dave. Let it go. Nobodies kid is gonna become a...

There's "smokers rights", and there's "I want to be able to breath air that's not clouded with cigarette smoke" rights. The latter can lose the battle and it's, apparently, not an affront to freedom or the Bill of Rights. If the former loses the battle, it's the end of any freedom as we know it...
