Back to global warming for a moment... There was an interesting article in the Life section of Thursday's McPaper. It seems that 55 million years ago, the Arctic was sub-tropical, complete with palm trees and the ancestors of alligators. Smokestacks and tailpipes? I don't think, and PLEASE...

Sweet truck Leo! Dieselphreak, wish I could have taken a better look at your ride the other day but we were behind on the load I had when I picked it up! You seemed surprised to have a stranger in a rest area ask if you were the Phreak.

I know exactly how you feel LDB. Michael Moore and brilliant used in the same sentence. That piece of comedy alone made it worthwhile to start this thread. Teachers need to stick to readin, 'ritin, and 'rithmatic, the basic 3 r's, and let kids form their own opinions on controvertial issues...

Those are some of the weirdos I saw on Bourbon St during Mardi Gras.

Taco Bell is the siren singing her hypnotic song.

Did'nt communes go out of style with pasley shirts?

The freight is what it's all about. Anyone that signs up to do this needs to have support that they can depend on to handle things. GM isn't going to shut down just because we have problems. If a transfer of the freight isn't possible, we just have to finish the job and go from there. I know...

First, thanks for noticeing how humble I am. Just one of the things that makes me so freakin' awesome. The C trucks, being dock level, probably are doing a bit better than vans. It just seems to be the vans, and particularly those of us that depend on Big 3, that are having a tough time. As far...

To say it's as simple as 65% is better than 60% may not be the case. You may well do better with 60% at a company that charges a higher rate and FSC. It's just not that cut and dry.

If you're coming back in a van I'd say hold off right now. D's are a bit better in some cases, but a lot of them are saying it's slow too. It's definately not what it should be this time of year.

Did anyone else hear about the whacked-out, granola crunching, teacher that actually wants to take her class on a field trip to see Algore's movie? When I was in high school there was a hippie English teacher that set up a field trip to see Yellow Submarine(Mrs. Goosey was WAY cool). We went...

RE: Don't try and go into business RE: Training a Don't be shy Cheri, we want to know how you REALLY feel!

A FILTER that never has to be cleaned or changed? Does that sound just wrong to anyone else?

C'mon Rich! Have'nt you ever seen children run when they get caught doing something wrong?

A clean truck helps. Stay on top of air leaks and keep your brakes adjusted. If they're standing outside looking you over as you approach you will have a good chance of just getting the quick once over and avoiding a level 1(or whatever # the major inspection is).

I have heard of people that did'nt have such a good time when they did this. If you are commercial you are supposed to go through with the trucks.

RichM's responce was the best one. The way I handle crossing, either side, is to answer all questions in a polite, professional manner and then go about my business. For me it's like the Vegas slogan, what happens at Customs stays at Customs. It's not worth getting worked up over. It was just a...

You may have gone by on a slow day. I was there last week with several other vans.

RE: Don't try and go into business RE: Training a Another thing to consider is your truck. A great truck, but it is experienced. Going team will have you running the miles up real quick. How soon will you be prepared to rebuild?

I feel like the jet lag happens more when I'm on the road. We never really know what our hours are going to be from day to day. More of a twilight zone than a consistant time zone. My first day home I feel the same as Broompilot. Mail, laundry, bank, oil change, ect. A lot of b/s that quickly...
