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...

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...

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...

Stella Awards It's time once again to review the winners of the annual "Stella Awards". The Stella's are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonalds. That case inspired the Stella awards for the most frivolous successful lawsuits in the...

From time to time on this forum, the signature lines of the drivers are great, but some deserve a comeback. One of my current favorites is gambler´s sig. I´ve seen enough cowboy movies in my time, to know when it´s time to draw pawdner! So I´m ready. See if you can top this expediters! You...

This was posted about a year and a half ago on the Newbies Paradise forum, to answer the constant question that comes up about expediting. That is, can I make a living etc.etc?, from novices and wannabes. The only thing I can see that has changed from the time I originally posted this is, fuel...

A couple of years ago, I posted this same question, and it turned out to be pretty interesting and informative. I now see alot of new names on the forum since then, so it´s time to ask the question again. The question is, what did you do before you got into trucking, and why did you choose...

I asked this question awhile back, and didn´t get an answer, though I did gleen some info from other posters, I´m still not quite clear on the subject. I´m thinking of making the switch from D unit to class 8 when I come off winter vacation. I sold my D unit before leaving on vacation, so will...

One beautiful December evening Huan Cho and his girlfriend Jung Lee were sitting by the side of the ocean. It was a romantic full moon, when Huan Cho said "Hey baby, let's do some Weeweechu." "Oh no, not now, lets look at the moon" said Jung Lee. "Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do...

phone number. I use another agency in Oklahoma, but lately have had to call them constantly to resolve problems. Does anyone know of any other agency in Oklahoma that gives you good service on plates? Is Oklahoma still the best place to base plate, with all the new laws changing in other states?

Defining a vet. He or she is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being... a person who offered some of their life's most vital years in the service of their country, and who sacrificed their ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is the POW who went away one person...

A fellow driver and I were talking about the pros and cons of a class 8 unit. I would like to hear from those of you that have stretched one to accomodate a box. I always heard, that stretching any tractor trailer , was not to be done. Better you buy one with a wheelbase that will accomodate...

THE MAN'S CODE 1.The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer. 2. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean. 3. Bitching about the brand of free beer in a buddy's refrigerator is forbidden. You may gripe...

This was too good not to pass on to my expediting friends. When you think about it, there are patterns in the capitalists pursuit of the pot of gold. Traditional Capitalism You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on...
