    The Back Seat Saloon! Those were the days... I'm from Alpena now, but grew up in Commerce Twp.

    OVM bails out

    That is a good question Ark, so I posted it over there. Hope you don't mind. Personally, I'm sorry to see the guy go. I think you can love your country and still question it. It's called freedom. "Don't let the door hit you" is just a bit harsh in this case. Of course, I would never get obsessed...

    Hos

    The 34 restart is simple. Take 34 hours off and you have a fresh 70. But, it looks like we'll be losing it once "they" decide what they're going to do. When that happens, once you hit your 70 you'll have to wait until you drop hours to work again. The best way to understand that is to look at a...

    Thank you all for your time

    That's exactly how I started in the biz. I drove that van over 8 years, much longer than I thought I would. I just had "commitment issues" regarding the big investment. Would I do it differently with the advantage of hindsight? I'm really not sure. I am glad that I never had to deal with a...

    Tri-State doesn't require it, the DOT does.

    How Many Blind People Visit EO?

    You've got it so wrong on this 'tude. This is a great place for anyone that's curious about expediting, whether they ever intend to do it or not. Isn't that what the Internet's for? Has there been a thread locked since the format change?

    What's The Potential

    I think x06 asked a good question. You did, very specifically, ask about bigger companies. The best thing for you to do would be to fill out the on-line applications available on EO, then follow up on those with a phone call. That will give you the real scoop on how you will be viewed by the...

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    Howard Stern: A chicken? Baba Booey, get that chicken and a homeless heroin addict in here.

    Worlds Cheapest Car ($2500)

    Think Smart Car. I've seen one being tailgated by a semi on the 401 and it's a scary sight. If I had more than one Tata, would people tell me I have great Tata's?

    Van markings

    I try to stay away from speculation, but having said that, if the law was worded something like "CMV's operated in the state" it could mean everyone. And then, of course, it would be that states definition of a CMV.

    Adding a tag axle question?

    Another question, how much horsepower do you have? If you only have 250, like me, you might want to think twice about doing it.

    RVs in the truck parking

    Have you ever tried to toss a $3 hooker? It's not nearly as easy as dwarf tossing.

    RVs in the truck parking

    As I walk through a truck lot that stinks of urine because there are a lot of slobs too lazy to go inside and use the rest room, I can understand how a travel plaza would see the RV community as an attractive customer base.

    Avatars and PM's

    Could I possibly have...? OMG!! I did it all by myself! Could there be a pocket protector in my future? It'd be nice if he was a little bigger, but I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

    1 Week Off Limit

    The problem here is that it's kept secret, and that's just plain wrong. It wouldn't even occur to me to ask if a policy like that exists as I've never worked somewhere that did that.

    I'm finished with Windows!

    I was impressed with the quick bootup and the speed in general. I'm gonna run this one for another year and then do something. The PC suits me as a casual user. I'm the kind that knows just enough to do what I have to do and I'm glad one of my kids can help me when I need it. But, he says he'll...

    17 grand!?! That generator better be doing things that, ahhh, help me get to sleep easily.

    I have to agree with a fellow forum member that being anonymous is a problem with these stars. You know, Lawrence's Internet Dickwad Theory.

    question about randoms

    While I understand pre-employment, post accident, and reasonable suspision(sp?), random seems like a waste time. I would be interested in knowing how many people it catches and for what.

    1 Week Off Limit

    But, doesn't Panther have escrow money? If the worry is that the driver is gonna just disappear without warning, that money would cover deductions. This is absolutely a policy that should be explained during orientation.
