Excellant reply Ateam. I would suspect that some of the people who were willing to get home at any cost may have modified their outlook as the price of fuel has gone up. Broompiolt, you've made it clear that you miss your family when you're out. As someone who has been there when my kids were...

I could'nt agree more, Rich. I saw this as more of a general lifestyle kind of thing instead of focusing on one issue. For sure, the more I read about fleet owner issues I'm glad I did'nt go with the seemingly common advice of starting out with a fleet owner. When it goes well it seems to be a...

I looked at them in my recent job change. Adam called me at a bad time and said he would e-mail me some info. It never came. I called and talked to the other guy and he said it would be there that day. Never came.

HondaKing, I can assure you that most people don't have the cavalier attitude about bankruptcy that you seem to have. While there is a lot to be said for the enthusiasm and fresh outlook of someone taking on a new challenge, I would prefer my advice from a grizzled veteren. Take my advice from...

Good point on the CB. I am one that has mine off the vast majority of the time. The example you gave in the "tired of it" thread is a good, if not tame, example of the bovine excrement that exists on the airwaves. On the subject of stopping for someone on the road, I need to see someone...

What you're talking about is an NLM thing. I think that different companies have different arrangments as too window time rules. At Thompson we went through a few sets of rules until we got to where we could just call in our arrival and go in. There are a few plants that are strict with window...

The walkie-talkie is a little bit quicker. If they want to bid on something, they scroll to my name and push the button. Then I can tell them, "Of course! Puh-leeze, I want to work, not just sit here!" It's good for unlimited use too. I have several friends on it and I have racked up over 30...

Thanks Lawrence, those are the answers I expected. The negative points over a disagreement made me think of my ex-father-in-law. Whenever we had a disagreement there was always something wrong with me for not thinking like him. I know... I should have gone along to get along. But sometimes...

My company requires Nextel. The trade-off is no Qualcomm, a wortwhile trade in my opinion. I'm going to go against the grain and say that I'm pleased with them. It's not perfect, but none of them are. I'm considering a second phone so the "Bat Phone" can stay free for work. My short list right...

Cingular is also advertising push to talk.

I have a couple of questions on how ratings work. First, should'nt people not be able to give themselves points? Second, is it fair that someone would recieve negative points because of a simple difference of opinion. Apparently Teacel got negative points because he did'nt agree with someone on...

If the van is equipped with signs, he may have a problem. It is unfair that someone can park their high-top conversion van without a problem, but someone with company signage would have a problem. I know a guy who lives in a condo that had magnets made up to cover his signs. If they hassle you...

Our contracts "continually renew". It saves them from having to assemble a new one for everyone every year, or whatever the time period. It also allows them to easily make changes like this at will.

Spontanius(sp?) Pringle Combustion? I think Art Bell wants to talk to you about an appearence on his show.

What kind of car was involved? Sounds like one that would have been tops in crash tests.

Raceman makes a good point here. I've read things where I have been real uncertain as to whether someone is kidding or attempting to make a serious point. I liken it to talk radio. Anyone can get on there and say whatever they want. We sometimes see yahoos that make breif appearances here and...

I've been with Nextel for over 6 years. I can tell you that coverage has vastly improved. The intersates are covered well and Auburn should be O.K. I would call them and have them make sure your phone has been properly activated. I had a problem with that when I first got my phone. If that...

That'll make that National Anthem lump in the throat just a bit bigger, won't it? It's amazing watching what those things can do. I live next to the airport in Alpena and they come in every so often to train. I can't even imagine how many G's they take when they turn them on a dime with $.09...

I've had the CB handle Highway Star since the late '70s. I had it painted on the back door of my van before I even heard of EO. So far, the only one I've met from being recognized is TJ959. Right now I'm at the Austinburg, Oh. Flying Hook. I'm the fat guy with reading glasses typing on his...

Are you talking about before or after the changes in the regs? I did'nt believe that was the case until it was shown to me in the DOT book. How would anything ever get done if people actually logged like that?
