    How weird are you?

    I was a 96 too. Hmmm.... I was with the majority on the Ben or J-Lo. She's hot, but the maintainance would have to be unbearable.

    Does anyone know of a GOOD cb radio shop

    The guy in Anna, Oh., Exit 99, I-75, has been there for at least 20 years. I did some business with him in the late 80's and early 90's and was'nt disappointed. He's gone from a small trailer to a big building with 2 bays. I have'nt been in the new facility but it looks impressive. He must be...

    biscuits

    Don't pick on me Bryan. I'm under a LOT of pressure here. It's a good thing I'm not a postal worker. Last weeks news, on top of everything else, nearly put me over the top. But I'm better now.

    biscuits

    Pillsbury works for me. They even have varietys. Bob Evan's sausage gravy is pretty good.

    What is the difference?

    That was a pretty good way to put it T-hawk. Sometimes you wonder why they decide to expedite something. I once hauled a 10# box full of samples of styrofoam packing popcorn from Concord,On. to Ada, Ok. What made it really weird was how much time I had to do it. I shut down for sleep in Indy and...

    What to buy?

    If you do an archive search you will find that everything you asked about has been discussed here. You will probably not find a lot of concensus on most of these issues. The one thing you will probably find universal agreement in is that a generator is a good idea. But which one to get is more...

    Sprinter Smoking

    Most states that have no idle laws, N.Y. for instance, allow it when the temperature is very low or high. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are.

    Why Christmas trees are better than men

    I think if you combine Christmas trees and beer, life would be perfect.

    Truckers Driving Thru Michigan Beware

    Paul W. definately has that Larry King style. Why would you ask a guest a pointed question when it's so much easier to ask them what their favorite color is? Well, they gotta make a living too.

    White Glove, Backstabbers, GOD's, Snitches, Nice P

    RE: White Glove, Backstabbers, GOD's, Snitches, Ni Greg, I made the same assumption you did on the house. Nice house, but I don't know what the point was in posting it. Just bragging, I guess.

    Casita or Scamp Behind a Van

    I think log book would also be one of the disadvantages.

    Sprinter Smoking

    This is normal for a diesel after extended idleing. I have a powerstroke and see this all the time. Just watch the trucks leave a truckstop in the morning and you see a lot of it.

    What is the difference?

    Point well taken. I've never had a problem with a multiple, but I know that it has happened on occasion. But, when a customer changes the aggrement they should understand that it may be difficult. The truck may have only 1 load on and decided to shut down for a break because he had the time to...

    lying owners

    I have a lawyer friend who says that verbal agreements hold up much better than most people think. Because he showed intent, it would be a binding contract. It would probably vary from state to state. In Michigan, wedding vows are a binding oral contract. Since there were witnesses, I'd at...

    What is the difference?

    terryandrene, I'm going to be a bit pedantic(I've been waiting for a chance to use that word!)here and take issue with the exclusive use part of your excellant responce. While that is necesary most of the time, just meeting the customers needs is all that really needs to be done. It's not...

    Truck Financing?

    Danny, most likely he would be able to keep the truck on as long as he wanted. As far as I know, FedExCC is the only company that has come up with arbitrary numbers to decide when it's time for a new truck. Most will let you keep going as long as breakdowns are not an issue. I've seen some...

    Canada Expedite companies in Canada - information

    I've been with Thompson since 9/99. Unfortunatly, they've decided to do away with the U.S. part of the fleet. It's down to 4 vans and 1 D-unit and they feel the profit on that isn't enough to justify having us around. Oh well, business is business, I guess. They're a decent company to work for...
