Dept Of Defense clearance, required to transport classified government loads.

Letzrock: please don't - I just got used to 'Rocket', fercryinoutloud. [And I'd hate to see what LOS would make of the new one - what if it were Bambam? :eek:]

Uh oh OVM - I think you better back up on that remark about 'koolaid and rose colored glasses" as the favorite response of the left - koolaid being one of LDB's favorite terms, and rose colored glasses having been used a lot by DaveKC. Neither of whom is exactly a flaming lib, eh?

Either DOT never heard that rule, or their bias against trucks is clear, because vehicles exiting the truck part of rest areas must yield to the four wheelers. As far as watercraft, many of the folks on the lake don't seem to be aware that there even ARE any rules. [Like Lake Erie wasn't scary...

I couldn't agree more, Witness: wading through the same tired cliches over and over does little to promote respect for the viewpoint of the poster. Maybe we just expected too much when the Soapbox was envisioned as a place for reasoned debate & opinions, but I still think it can be done. [The...

Holy cannoli - a set of cab curtains for the KW costs $275! :eek: I'd rather spend $25 for materials, and use the other $250 on something else, but to each his own, I guess.

I don't like the curtains that divide the sleeper from the seats - too claustrophobic for me. What I do is buy a pr of semi sheer panels & hang them [sideways] from behind each seat to the centerline of the windshield with Velcro: one pc behind each seat, on each corner post of the windshield...

It's another 'feel good' law that has the appearance of accomplishing a goal, like the banning of cellphones, while ignoring the actual problem altogether. Personally, I don't think Congress ought to be allowed to pass any law from which they exempt themselves.

"Breach of security"? Sounds asinine to me, but if it is, you are equally guilty for your first reply.

By deafening him with the explosion? :confused: Seriously, let us know how it goes, please - I'd like to remove & replace the carpet in the one I drive, if it's not a horrendous chore.

No doubt it will have some effect, [or they wouldn't ask] but the only way to know how much is to apply and see what happens. What've you got to lose?

Smells fishy to me too [but then what in Minnesota doesn't smell like herring? ;)] I suspect he's really working on a new drill: "How to portage a canoe without getting out of the hammock or spilling your beer" Awaiting a full report on May 11! :D

What got me to Houston? The usual: a KW, with a load, of course. :p [sorry, couldn't resist] Delivered yesterday from Springfield, Mo, and have accepted 3 loads since - none of which we got, sigh. If tomorrow is like deja vu, I'll probably roll on out too.

My feeling is that those who create alternate identities are like the drivers who cruise past a long line of patient vehicles in order to cut in front of them - something they would not have the guts to do if they didn't feel anonymous, eh? They don't deserve the protection, IMO.

Welcome, cherokee - I'd mosey over & say hi, but it's a bit of a stretch from Houston.... PS love the username - one of my great grandmothers was Cherokee, though my father insisted my Indian ancestors [just mine, not my siblings] were both Blackfeet & Flathead for a lot of years, lol :)

You can help yourself to a load that you find independently, then run under Panther's authority - AKA a 'backhaul'. Usually not the best paying loads, [Panther takes a cut too], but preferable to sitting still or deadheading, no?

Everything I understand says Mr G speaks the truth when he says American government has become of, by, and for the [wealthy] corporate interests. Today I read that Citigroup has 4000 subsidiaries registered as offshore companies, just to avoid paying taxes. I think that's just the tip of the...

Welcome! The deal you refer to is pretty standard: owner takes 40% of the line haul [mileage], you take 60%, plus 100% of the separate fuel surcharge [an amount that varies, but is supposed to bring the cost of fuel down to 1.25 per gallon]. Unlike Guido, I prefer paying for fuel, [and believe I...

Lighter is better! But I draw the line at sawing off the handle of my toothbrush. If it meant less to carry, I'd have no problem sawing off the handle - where I'd draw the line is at sawing off the bristles. ;)
