Never mind - I got it started, by running the cables from the gen. battery to truck battery.

Is anyone at, or near, the Pilot in Minooka, Il? I need a jumpstart, (have cables), HATE asking strangers for help...Have had jumpstarter on battery for over an hour, voltage meter not moving - appreciate it if anyone is able to help!

Heck, I'd dress up as a stork & deliver babies (but not to UAW plants, they have too many already) to be in Moot's book!:P

Danny, that was priceless! I haven't written anything in ages, but if/when I can come up with something humorous, I'll throw it in the pot, too. Meantime, got any more? Like Mr Goodtude's photos, your ditties are inspired!

Welcome! As representative of one of the biggest carriers, you are needed here, and appreciated, too.

Some of the photos are reminders of places I've been, some are an incentive to go places I hadn't thought of, or to look at things with a different perspective, but all of the photos are wonderful - thanks for sharing the treasure with us.

Nice thread, Runningturtle. I am thankful this year for the health that allows me to be productive, the family that supports me in my efforts, the friends who encourage me, (and point out when I'm being an a**, too), the many faces of Expediters Online, who are always there when needed, and...

JoeMP2: Sir, your assessment is neither fair, nor accurate. The Mods expressed their opinion, based upon their knowledge, experience, and Remus' own statements. On a public forum, they have every right to do so. On this forum, posters are presumed to be adults, and adults must deal with the fact...

Sure there is, Panthercub, and you've got it when you're the only one in town - or the only one willing to do the job, which amounts to the same thing. It's called leverage..... ;)

But a sweet one, (and funny, too) when you've got some catnip, lol - good job, Turtle!:)

Greg, the same scenario could, and does, happen anywhere in the country. There are crazies everywhere, you know, and stress just brings out their craziness. You like to portray Michigan as a state with ludicrous policies, but Ohio isn't any different. Ohio forces vehicles to be emissions...

I get to go home for Thanksgiving, because my CDL expires on Turkey Day, and I need to get the Hazmat clearance letter before renewing - I'm expecting it to be there by Wednesday, waiting for me in my PO box. I seriously doubt I'll get a load on Wednesday afternoon, so plan to be at my sister's...

60mph, you say you have your company "bonus" you out of there. What company is that, if I may ask, and what exactly is it you're asking from them, and do you get it?

RE: Flaccid passion? Yeah, Mike, you're not stupid - just a lil dusty, lol. Like most of us, myself included. I don't always agree with Greg's conclusions, but he is one of the treasures of EO, because he is honest and real. His posts inspire us to actually think, as opposed to just thinking...

Thanks, guys, for the help. The remedy isn't my call, actually, as I don't own the truck, but I like to let the owner know of some possibilities he may not be aware of - saving him money is to my advantage, too. (When I ask for a raise, lol);)

or at least the windshield is! Are there any do-it-yourself repair kits for the chips? Or is a new windshield the only option?

RE: Driving solo in a truck that doesn't even remotely qualify as an 'apartment on wheels', how exactly would one cut back on household size, or lifestyle? The whole basic assumption that people are spending recklessly on luxuries, is what gets me seeing red. I mean, hello? Anyone notice how...

I would seriously question the assumption that the increase in personal bankruptcies is a direct result of people buying plasma tvs, expensive vacations, etc. I wonder whether those luxuries are purchased by folks who can pay for the credit card debt, and the bankruptcies are due to folks who...

I've been noticing an awful lot of "memorial" signs, such as "The Trooper John J 'Buzzy' Smith Memorial Highway" recently. So now I'm wondering what will happen when all the highways, bridges, tunnels, overpasses, pedestrian walkways, and interchanges have been named in honor of someone - will...
