Hey DD, we never got an answer on this one! Fess up! Injured minds wanna know! Dreamer

>Diva..that link didn't come up for me..what was it?:-) :7 :7 :7 :7 It was an audio clip of a stressed out woman yelling "Something's happened to my brain, it's all dried up!" Dreamer

RE: Boys.. toys.. etc.(BIKE PIC for WEAVE) Here ya go Weave... 1978 Kawasaki KZ750B Twin, Vertical 2 cylinder, I believe one of the largest Kawasaki vertical twins made.. more common were the 400-500cc models. Electric start plus kick start, came with the original Kawasaki tool kit wrapped...

Income that low, this time of year, would be a red flag to me... but I know nothing about Eagle. I talk to a few drivers fairly regularly around the Columbus Ohio area, and I know the Panther, Conway, and FedEx van drivers I talk to are running good right now.. better than the rest of the year...

RE: Boy with most toys wins! Nice lil bike Weave.. I see we have something in common... nothing so 'clean' as yours, but I do like older bikes... I've had a few, including a '63 BSA, a '73 Yamaha, and my current one an old '78 Kawasaki 750B Twin .. 2 cylinders, 2 side by side pipes, looks and...

Very nice DD! Have to agree with Lawrence's description on this one, VERY classy looking ride. Unique rear wheel look also, is that the actual wheel, or some kind of covering? I've never seen ones exactly like those. Best of Luck with the new truck! Dreamer Be sure to proofread everything...

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN...

DieselDoctor, That is one of the coolest, most practical interiors I have ever seen in a van! And it looks a VERY do-able project for much less than some of those 'conversions' out there! Thank you so much for sharing the pictures, and explaining how you did it. I hope you don't mind, I...

RE: FMSCA Clarifies ambiguous and controversial HO I agree Rich, it will make them have to get the driver out faster. As I said before, if they took away the 14 hr consecutive rule, it would work for expediters.. well.. now that they've clarified, it works! Bottom line is.. 14 hr clock stops...

From Landline (key points highlighted by me!) The FMCSA recently amended sleeper berth rules as they pertain to the new hours-of-service regulations, which take effect in January 2004. These amendments do not change the substance of the rule, but are intended to remove some ambiguity in...

LOL... should it worry me that I read that on the first try? Pretty cool, guess they were right! Dreamer Something to think about: HAM AND EGGS - A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig. (You're just jealous that the voices only talk to me!)

RE: nationwide pagers(and cell phones!) Hey Wild Bill, I went with Sprint PCS and feel I got a decent deal and coverage. My deposit was $125, I understand the HIGHEST is $250, the base phone was free, but I upgraded for $49.00 and got the color screen PCS internet ready model. Next for me...

Weave WAY too cool :D :D :D :D Dreamer

Wow DD, those were great... brought back TOO many memories, and made me realize how long some of it has been. I loved the old Saturday Morning cartoons... when they were funny, instead of everyone about the new action figure/trading card character/videogame whatever... Heh.. my kids still...

re: Short local hauls If you're looking for something like that, just local.. that's a different ballgame entirely than over the road... I would suggest you call the local courier companies in your area, and see what their requirements are. They may indeed let you run it.. long as you can...

re:Dodge Van Hey Brewster, A friend of mine had one of those Dodge vans as his work truck (he was a general contractor).. and while it ran great, and worked fine for him, you will run into problems using one for an Expedite Van... the rear door opening is tight, tight, tight, tight and a...

>Everytime, I write something in here or other forums, >someone always makes me look as if I was stupid, or >something. I know all about what needs to be done, just >thought I would post so that maybe someone, other than the >know it alls, would have a back in the mind thought, that >might...

RE: CPM or Percentange? Roadrunner, As Vernon said, all you have to do, is a little division! Now, I'm a bit one-sided, I suppose, since I've only ever RAN on percentage. The thing I liked is higher pay per mile for short runs, if you divide it out. I've talked to many drivers, mad because...

I hope you're right.. I really do. If the companies DO allocate freight like that, giving short runs to someone who already had a short run that day, instead of 'blindly' going to the next on the list, it might work out. I guess I've just been seeing the possible frustration, like many, of...
