    Truck parking at home.

    David, it sounds like you're out in farm country. I would think that it would be easy to get a varience for something like this. Draw up a petition and get your neighbors to sign it and take it to the zoning board.

    U.S. vs. The World

    Yes, soccer is just not catching on here. But golf is very popular. And, some will be surprised to know that motocross is right behind NASCAR in popularity.

    The transponder is for the U.S. side only. It will bring up information about your truck as you pull up to the booth. It is needed to use FAST to clear freight and if you are paying the Customs fee annually. There are no longer window stickers.

    Truck Stop Internet Connections (TSIC)

    I have an annual subscription to the J. I find the quality of service is very inconsistant. Some locations will always be fine, while others will always be VERY slow. I guess it depends how many people are on, and someone told me the truck stop uses it to upload info to headquarters. When they...

    U.S. vs. The World

    Sarazen and Nelson both made significant contributions to the game. Nelson is credited with developing the modern golf swing. In the old swing the "wrist flick" was key. When shafts went from hickory to steel Nelson began using his lower body much more. His swing was the model for the "Iron...

    U.S. vs. The World

    Once again, the Europeans kicked some serious U.S. butt to keep the Ryder Cup on the other side of the pond. However, the news from across the water was'nt all bad last weekend. At the Matterly Basin track in Great Britain, the U.S. brought home the hardware at the Motocross of Nations. This...

    One Post Wonders

    As much as most of us don't like "childrens band" type of chatter, this forum will attract it just like the open air waves. The good thing about OPWs is they usually leave. Sometimes, and we're currantly seeing this, they don't. You wonder why they continue to post their gibberish when all they...

    NATIONWIDE SATELLITE LOG BOOKS

    T-Hawk, while this situation may not qualify as pre-meditated murder, the driver was at a level of violation that absolutly deserves severe punishment. This clearly shows that saftey concerns trump any concern about income being controlled. AS an analogy, this guy was'nt just doing 5 over the...
