    How many alias's does one need and why????

    I've heard the arguments in favor of anonymous posting and just don't buy it, well, except for Dieselphreak and his example involving a fleet owner. Since it wasn't about him bashing anyone, just seeking info, that's understandable. But, I think this is more about ideas and opinions. In that...

    Abbreviation aggravation

    Too much info can make directions confusing. I was going to Ford Parts(Visteon, or whatever now) in Indy. On the Qualcomm was one long run-on sentence with no punctuation. After the first read I couldn't figure out why I would be on and off Shadeland Ave. 3 times. He had given 3 sets of...

    Rumsfeld resigns

    Of course some humans are less deserving of human rights than others. Radical Muslims that randomly kidnap American civilians to be beheaded deserve no consideration whatsoever. It makes any criticism of American "torture" seem silly. The Americans had the audacity to have a dog bark at a...

    I think the Clark in Joliet or the Petro in Monee would be the closest.

    How many alias's does one need and why????

    Full names and home towns in the profile earns a little extra credibility in my book. Please don't reply with something like being worried about a stalker. C'mon...

    The key phrase in the original post, I think, was "...no one would help us." Being an independent contractor puts you in control. When I started , I was with a company that didn't mind leaving you sitting somewhere. They would say they didn't need more trucks in the busy areas. I quickly learned...

    Union Update!

    Chuck, the trucking industry as gone downhill BIG TIME since I got into it 30 years ago. This with the supposedly strong voice of the Teamsters. This with the formation and growth of OOIDA. But you think you can organize a very small niche of the industry and make significant changes. Wake up...

    HOS Discussion

    Yes chuck, we get it. Thawk, I have no problem with a split for everyone. It just seemed REALLY stupid to take it from teams. I also should have said no continuous clock. If you want to take longer breaks while running, that's fine. I guess I was just throwing a basic framework out there.

    HOS Discussion

    It would be a wonderful world without log books. That's what I like about my van. But we all know it won't happen. The problem is, they will never have something that works for everyone. The old rules didn't and neither do the new ones. Most drivers starting with good rest at 0600 could work a...

    Actually, it does work. Reagan used that philosophy to kick-start the longest period of sustained, non-wartime, economic growth in history.

    TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW ON

    RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW Moot, the prostate exam protocal applies here. I had my first one last year and I did learn that the doctor is under no obligation to treat you to dinner and a movie before the "event".
