Glossy Eyed for $$$$$ and consumed with greed and Self Preservation and Shelfishness, got to his better Judgement. Shelfishness is always a problem, when you're dealing with shrimps, eh? ;)

According to Deirdre Flint's song "Cheerleader" " Cheerleaders drive Camaros Cheerleaders don't get zits Everyone would die to have their little tiny thighs And their really, really, REALLY, big .... makeup kits!" :D So ok, there are worse things to be, eh? :p

For what it's worth, my experience with Panther was being offered a 'first out' whenever the load was one they'd have trouble covering, due to low FS, poor location, high DH, etc. But a first out is worthless, when there are (or will be) others ahead of you. IMO, the whole concept of 'first...

This is an example of how one can avoid some trouble, by keeping up with EO: after reading a few horror stories like this, I took the QC back and had the carrier remove it, and sign for it's safe receipt. Had I shipped it back, I'd have been very careful to dot & cross, as the Col said - the...

From the time I was big enough to hold a scrub brush (age 3, if memory serves :rolleyes:), Mom had me cleaning the floors with Murphy's - when I was a teenager, I did it with the "Cinderella attitude', lol, but now...the smell of Murphy's makes me homesick.

Gatorbait: welcome to EO. The short answer is that you may well be contemplating jumping from the frying pan into the fire. If you take the time to read what's been written on that subject here over the past year, you may want to revise your plans. Or not - it's impossible to tell what "enough"...

Jeanie: it's about time you spoke up here - welcome, lol. You haven't painted yours, I see, but they are easy to do, right? (And you don't have to paint the white ones!:D)

Thanks to McBride, and Phil, for the photos - it's a great way to show those who've never been to an Expo, what they missed. For those who have been, though, one of the best parts is, as many mentioned, putting a face to the username, so here's a suggestion for the next one: have a photographer...

I really missed spending some fun time with y'all, as Susie & Jeannie & Linder are friends of mine too, but at least I did move some freight: a total of 3729 loaded miles for the week - best I've ever done, solo. :D And, to top off such a great week, tomorrow I plan to dip my toes in the Great...

Terry: I can only hope that your new position is half as rewarding as being Rene's driver has been! You both deserve the best life has to offer, and here's hoping it comes your way. If you decide that posting is not something you can do anymore, we will miss that, but wish you the best in all...

And, for about half the human race, it ain't legal, either. The percentage of those for whom it ain't even remotely attractive is probably about 90%, I bet. :D

Thanks for the heartfelt msg to Greg M, helping him to see the light - I am truly impressed by it.

Awright, Shawn - good week, eh? In your shoes, I'd definitely choose the Expo, (you can visit the uncle another time, right?) but in my flipflops, I'm goin to Boise, sigh. I turned it down, but they really, really want me to go, (and it makes around 3400 miles for the week!) so what can I say...

Being a smidgen claustrophobic, unrestrained is how I prefer to be. (Though I can make exceptions, given the right incentive);)

Uh, actually: California, lol - but what you see through the lens is just so much cooler than what I see through the windshield, seems like, so thanks for sharing your vision. :)

Putting Batman & Miss Robin on the doors would probably bring a smile to most folks, whereas putting anything that denigrates another person (or their vehicle) would probably bring a very negative response, possibly with a sharp object applied to the paint. One idea is the "In case of...

Mike: always enjoy going on any (photo) safari with you - welcome back! :)

Piper: not sure if it's the same in Canada, (but it probably is, as the buyers of toll roads are the same conglomerates), but here in the US, the gov't is required to sign a noncompete clause, agreeing to refrain from building (or even improving) any roads to compete with the tollway.

Most products (including the Freightliner I'm driving) could benefit immensely from that perspective, which is sadly too rare in American business. The whole "Us against them" philosophy is wrongheaded - every person involved should feel part of a team effort, with a common goal, and everyone's...

Hawk: while I would in no way defend the bloated monster the UAW has become, I think the blame for the decline of the Big 3 rests squarely on the shoulders of the very same reason that unions were created to begin with: the arrogance, bullying, and greed of management. Historically, it was the...
