    What happened to VOI?

    If you're at fault you're going to lose no matter what. But you'll at least have all of the proper insurance. The topic at hand is the proper insurance, not a bunch of other topics designed to deflect the conversation away from insurance. I'm guessing the lawyers would use that in their...

    I hate to be the one to break this to you, but dispatch can only make educated guesses, they don't have a crystal ball, and, I can't emphasize this enough, they can't crap emergency freight on demand. At your own expense? OMG! An independent contractor having to relocate at his own expense in...

    What happened to VOI?

    Pushed you? Is this a forced dispatch situation, or did you accept the load knowing the parameters of the load contract? If the customer needs freight shipped 1000 miles direct, they couldn't care less whether it's delivered by a solo or a team, or how many miles deadhead the driver has to go...

    Gone with the Wind

    The argument you are making is AAA should be giving out free 200 mile tows and reimbursements for breakdowns to people without making them pay the Premium membership fee to join AAA. Not sure why you'd do that as there are two PDF files on the TEANA site that tell you exactly what the issues...

    I'm just trying to understand what you're saying. It might be helpful if you define and expand what you mean by "stop" and what you mean by "problem."

    Headlight Restoration

    That's the same as the old oil trick, with the added benefit (or detriment depending how often it's used) of DEET's plastic-dissolving properties. If you buff if off quickly and thoroughly enough, it will have dissolved the top layer of plastic and gotten rid of (most of) the oxidation. Leave it...

    Stolen 'Papa Johns' car found.

    Would have been truly awesome story if it was stolen from Birmingham, AL.
