    Training a co-driver

    I would say to go with your gut on this. And, maybe give serious thought to staying on your own. The vast majority of people I've talked to that tried this have ended up solo. When you find a dieselfreakette give it a shot.

    Cows with guns

    What an inspiration! I... (snif) I...I... (snif,snif) I'm sorry, I just can't talk right now.

    Smells

    It's interesting to see this thread come back after a year. Due to the SEVERE downturn in van freight I'm considering going to a bigger truck. Instead of having to park with the vermin in the big lot maybe I'll just get out.

    Are you as slow in this business as we are

    I've never seen it this slow this time of year. Not a good thing with July just around the corner.

    Cargo vans scaling in Michigan

    I was told the sticker is required for intra-state moves, not just delivering. Also, for any vehicle registered in Mich. I know a D-unit guy that got a ticket at the I-75 scale for not having it.

    Draw A Pig

    I was pretty impressed until the last one. Good sex life, yeah, right. That pig I drew will be flying before that happens. Clearly a bogus exercise.

    Driver, secure that freight!

    I don't know how many totes were involved, but it seems it would have been better to have a group in the nose and a group over the trailer axles. Three load bars would keep everything in place.

    GM and the UAW

    I think we could easily imagine what the masters of rhetoric would come up with as a responce. The words dignity and respect would be prevelent. A lot of talk about families. And, it would all be spun in a way to make it sound like that drunk that, if he does show up, is a valuable asset even...

    eaton fuller 9 speed

    You will be amazed at how easy it is once you find the sweet spots. Go easy on the fuel pedal in the low range, you're in no big hurry to get up to speed.

    gas wars

    JFK was no real prize in his personal life. It's the image that was presented that's revered, not the reality.

    This may be worth the effort

    I think a lot of people could save through routine maintainance. I swear there are many thousands of people out there who don't know how to operate an air pressure gauge. Add a new set of plugs and wires to that and things might be a lot different.

    This may be worth the effort

    I heard an "expert" on the radio say that if everyone cut down 5% the price would plummet. Seems like most people could do that easily.

    Insurance

    I'm really skeptical of this based on stories I've heard about what happens after an accident. Every accident I've heard about has involved values being determined.

    Bookkeeping

    Another vote here for the old fashioned method. When I got my first laptop I planned on putting everything in there. I even got the trial versions of a couple of the programs mentioned. But you have to save receipts anyway, so I just keep track of what's in the envelope. The computer would just...
