    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    It's easy to do on the phone. Some people zoom in a bit before giving a rating. I just stab at it and if I select the wrong one I remove it and try again. When I posted about Gidgit's poopy Not Helpfuls all being deleted, I got a poopy Not Helpful rating. I inquired as to why, thinking it...

    Black Olives Matter

    "I think it shows an interesting state of affairs of where our country is that people, first of all, can be offended by a statement about a vegetable. Black olives matter, and it does matter in our tapenade." Social media had a collective meltdown. Dood is just trying to advertise his latest...

    July in the land of Load One

    Unless he's banging his head on an actual wall. I would think refusing to quit banging your head on a wall wouldn't necessarily make you a winner. Same with refusing to quit smoking cigarettes. ;)

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    There's only one van parking space I like. If that spot's taken, I just go down to the Love's.

    Does Anyone Use a CB Radio Anymore?

    Sure. Lots of people still use them. The language and bad manners is worse now than it's ever been. But with SiriusXM radio, many if not most drivers now tool down the road with the CB radio off and only turn it on when they find themselves in a backup and go, "What's the hold up?" which they'd...

    Got Sleep Apnea? Better read this...

    There are a lot of drivers out here who have CPAP machines. I wouldn't imagine that it would hurt your future in the industry, considering the apparent goal of the sleep specialists on the Medical Review Board is to have a CPAP machine in every cab. <snort>

    There are 400 billion birds in the world, 250,000 planes, and one Superman. So, in answer to your question - probably a bird.

    The Expo 2016 is over my friends

    On attendance, my only frame of reference was the 06 Expo (when we gave away that tricked out truck) and attendance was off the charts. While attendance may have been low, it was a high quality attendance. I didn't run into anyone who wasn't seriously serious about expediting. I thought that was...

    Well, its finally done !!!!!!!!

    Yeah, I stood right next to that truck many times over two days, admiring it, how new and shiny it was, and then about an hour left in the show I noticed the city and state lettered on the side, and it finally dawned on me who's truck it was. That was embarrassing.

    Where I've been, Where I'm Going~! Weekly Update!

    I've learned that you take a load to the Texas border because you want a little time off to just sit and relax, and do nothing, which is kind what you need after driving like a madman for a day and a half and needing 2 more days just to recharge. You can spend the same amount of time running 3...

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    Most places are fine with it if you ask, and its becoming more and more common with people looking to simply charge their cell phone, which is a few pennies at most. I once asked the manager at a Pilot if I could plug in my extension cord to run a battery charger. He didn't have a problem with...

    The Expo 2016 is over my friends

    Sunday? Sunday was the day after the Expo. I was hiding in my hotel room, sleeping, then showered and checked out. Was something going on on Sunday morning that I missed? Oh, I was parked in the parking lot across from the entrance to the Hyatt. :D

    Pray for Dallas.

    Not truuuuu! Just today he is urging Americans to tamp down inflammatory rhetoric, saying that, "Everyone right now focus on words and actions that can unite this country rather than divide it further." Oh, wait, you said "significant." ... Sorry. My bad. Never mind.

    Pray for Dallas.

    Looks like that from the inside, too. It's the cradle-to-grave nanny state mentality, i.e., it's the government's job to protect us.

    Pray for Dallas.

    Pretty much the same thing that's been happening to those and similar groups every since the famous Supreme Court Dred Scott decision in which Justice Roger Taney said in 1857 that the black man has “no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” The 14th Amendment basically passed to...
