It appears that this thread became too informative for tired. Where'd he go? Joe Roman's site was loaded with the whiners. It became way too much bother sorting through the garbage to find a worth while post. At Thompson we seem to have slowed a bit after a couple of real busy months. But, not...

I heard the family were real troopers and were able to RISE to the occasion.

This one actually happened to me at Burger King, Tawas Mich. I ordered a hamburger with mustard and ketchup only. I got 2 buns with m and k and no meat.

What do you suppose Darth would sound like if he were in the stall next to you?

I read an article in the Toronto Sun this week that said the President is sounding like he isn't real crazy about the idea. It also said that it would be a passport or "other secure document". Maybe a FAST card?

Does the topless bar version have inflatable women dancing?

Excellant point about backhaul Teacel! It seems to me the cost of operation does'nt go down just because you want to go home. I know someone who used to work for a small trucking company that also brokered loads. She had a guy walk into her office one day looking for a "backhaul" to get home...

RE: o/o That was a very good post Triple B. How come we can't give you a couple of points?

What the heck, let's throw in a stadium while we're at it!

If you have 3 trucks crossing the border, each one should have a transponder. The transponder identifies the truck and the load it's carrying if it's a FAST load. If the driver has no FAST card he can't clear freight using the FAST system. He can use PAPS and the transponder isn't needed for that.

There is no card called a CSA card. There is CDRP which is Canada only, and there is FAST which is good on either side. CSA is what the system for clearing automtive production into Canada is called and it does require barcodes. I don't think you can clear anything without either barcodes for...

Broompilot, I think you got it right about Scorp, incorporating, ect. I've talked to guys who really think they're protecting their assets. When you ask them who is responsible for the safe operation of their truck, they will try their best to come up with something other than the obvious...

Diesel fuel is not a by-product of gasoline. It's 2 different refineing processes.

Yes, I do sometimes get bad directions. The vast majority of the time it is easily figured out. I'm not sure about the cell phone connection, I don't think anyone would get rid of their phone because they got a GPS. I've never spent an extra penny on my phone bill because of making calls to sort...

friscomike, it is a toy and you could live without it. Technology is a great thing, but there is a lot that can still be done as it was many, many years ago. Getting from point A to point B is one of them. Sometimes I almost feel Amish. I think I'll go party like it's 1899!

Bryan, what is Quantro Pro? theend, 10 years experience before you start? Is time travel involved? Wants are many for most, but needs should be few. Another thread discusses what a newbie might need. Of all things, a GPS unit was the first thing mentioned! Now, I am a bit old school, but one of...

That had to make it difficult to find your radio station.

Byran, I know a company where you can talk to a carbon-based life form with the push of one button.

I like the Exit Guide because it has more of what's at the exit than just truckstops. Downside is that it's interstate only. Streets and Trips has something that shows what's around the address you're looking at, but I hav'nt used it yet.

What you were hauling is commonly refered to as "sailboat fuel" or "dispatcher brains". How about "broader patrol agent common sense"? I've said it here before, I will never figure out how treating us rudely is helping with the war on terror.
