    Loaning out your truck

    The limitation for B-units is something that the Fed and Panther will forget about if the situation calls for it. It's only about safety if the transfer can be arranged.

    John Kerry: American Soldiers Are Terrorists

    John Edwards has made his announcement. This is the guy who told us that if John Kerry was elected people in wheelchairs would walk again. I expected him to fade away and never be heard from again.

    Sprint PCS connection card question

    My Alltel card doesn't provide an e-mail address. My guess would be that Sprint is the same. Just go to Hotmail or Yahoo. It's easy and free.

    Sprinter vs. Van

    50k take-home would be on the very high end of the scale. I've never done it.

    Whose country is this anyway?

    Hitler?!? The race card? Do these people have any clue how pathetic they sound?

    Supercross season kicks off this weekend

    Ricky's not doing the full season. There's been some speculation that he may change his mind at the last minute and do the whole Supercross series, but that appears to be unlikely. I'd like to see him do all the outdoor races. Wouldn't another perfect season be awesome? Check out espn.com for...

    Da bears: worst 13 win team ever?

    You had to love the way the Lions snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR FORUM MEMBERS!

    A very Merry Christmas to everyone. No white Christmas in northern Mich this year, it was 50 degrees yesterday.

    Pre-trip inspections

    In general, I agree with Ateam on this. The lacrosse players/strippers incident is a good example of when judgment should be withheld. But, in this case we have multiple witnesses who saw the same thing. This is one we should use as an example for the young people in our lives.

    I was SO bored

    With 7 months to work at it, maybe we can get her to sing them at the Expo.

    Merry Christmas

    A very Merry Christmas to you from my family. That would include Bob, the English Bulldog, that we affectionately refer to as "the Wanker."

    What van should I buy?

    I don't think expediting will accomplish what you seem to be looking for. Trying to make it fit in to your schedual when you want it to will frequently not work out. You may be ready for your 1 trip but have vans ahead of you. Or, there may be nothing going on that day. It really is a lifestyle.

    SPLIT AND A TERRIBLE OWNER-OPERATOR AGREEMENT

    The driver paying for fuel is not something that is unique to Expediting, as Ark seems to suggest. It's been going on at least since I've been in trucking(30 years), and probably longer. True, you won't see it with the big players, but small fleet owners have been doing it a long time.

    Almost ready to head out

    Best of luck John. You'll have a big advantage at Landstar with a truck outfitted that well.

    Things I have seen on the road (sort of)

    Hawk, that was you on the other side of the parking lot? I may look old and portly from a distance, but up close my gray hair is VERY intimidating.

    Best tires for B-Unit

    My '99 E350 came with Good Year Wrangler H/Ts and I've stuck with them. I've gotten as much as 200k out of a set.

    SPLIT AND A TERRIBLE OWNER-OPERATOR AGREEMENT

    One of the canned answers the experienced veterans here have given many times is to make sure you understand your agreement and take it to a lawyer if you don't.

    Miss USA? What's next?

    I caught The Donald's press conference over breakfast yesterday morning. The "poor, innocent country bumkin" thing was a hoot. But, even if she had been fired it would be a great thing for her. People will actually remember her.

    Home For The Holidays?

    To Teamcaffee, Ateam, and all those with loved ones serving, they are appreciated more than they know. To Cheri, this is a family forum, we really don't need to hear about your choice of underwear. I'm leaving myself open to whatever may happen. Just getting home at some point during the...

    New kid in town!

    All the best to you and the family. I really like the name. I'm sure he'll be quite a LAD.
