    One drink a day

    It's not about will power, it's about making an intelligent, informed decision to eat healthy. Everything I eat is predicated on, "What will this do to my blood sugar, my cholesterol, or my blood pressure?" If the answer is, "It'll be bad," or "I don't know," then I don't eat it. The side...

    One drink a day

    Personally, I'd love to see all of the extensive independent research and the exhaustive studies about Plexus, how it is safe and effective and has no side effects or drug interactions. In lieu of all, I'd settle for one.

    July Chitter Chatter Bang! Bang!

    Since mine is already in the computer as a PDF file, I just electronically sign it with Adobe and then e-mail it.

    July Chitter Chatter Bang! Bang!

    Click the link, read the question, read the reply. It should be noted that the reply applies not only to FECC, but also to Panther and to every other carrier I know of, save one, where the drivers legibly scan their paperwork directly into the system. Sooo, I'm just sayin'..... :D

    Land of the free, home of the brave

    In the 30s many states outlawed fireworks, and by the 40s nearly all of them did. Massachusetts was the last state to ban fireworks at that time, due to the strong tradition and historical significance of fireworks ("the rockets red glare" was inspired by a rocket made by a Massachusetts general...

    One drink a day

    It's also one of the ingredients that I alluded to above that can be a little iffy if you are on Metformin, one of the most common oral diabetic medications on the market. It more or less doubles the work that Metformin does on blood glucose, but as a result hinders the work Metformin does with...

    Land of the free, home of the brave

    I see that you are irony impaired. OK, but the "full share" of "not those people" doesn't really explain why 46 of the 50 states allow at least sparklers. It's highly unlikely that Massachusetts has more than it's full share of "not those people" than all of those other 46 states. More likely...

    DIY Insect Repellent

    As a living mosquito magnet (you have no idea, it's ridiculous), the thought of having to re-douse myself every 30-45 minutes with an insect repellent is, well, repellent. And 30-45 minutes is just about the length of time that most natural or homemade insect repellents will last. If that's all...

    HOS And Cargo Vans

    That's precisely the scenario that I did on my last run, 2179 miles from Laredo to just outside Boston. The dims were listed as (LxWxH): 91x36x48 in. While those dims are correct, they are in the way wrong order. The 91 was the Height, not the Length. It was a computer server rack bolted to a...

    Land of the free, home of the brave

    Driving through Massachusetts to make my delivery, I couldn't help notice how all the Amber Alert signs were ablaze with warnings that, in Massachusetts, the Cradle of Liberty, the Birthplace of Independence, fireworks are illegal and will get you a fine of $1000 or imprisonment of up to one...

    Did they think about this Scenario?

    Dear A... Expedite Fleet Owner. Clearly, you shouldn't have accepted the Monday pre-dispatch load unless you have time to run it. It's no different than having to turn down a 10AM Saturday load because you don't have the hours. Obviously, 40+ hours of rest is better for you than 34 hours, and...

    Yes. If you understand the meaning of Euclid's reply to King Ptolemy's request of a quick and easy way to learn mathematics and geometry, you'll understand the metaphorical applicability of that phrase here. Blindly and ignorantly without doing comprehensive research? No, I can't. Not any more...

    One drink a day

    I've lost 60 pounds since October, not by taking a magic potion or a pill, nor or by continuing to eat the same foods that got me to where I was. Just as there is no royal road to geometry, there is no magic pill to health.

    I believe 82 hours is too much

    I think the 1-5 requirement is dangerous. It forces drivers who usually drive at night to once a week flip their circadian rhythms during the restart. When that happens, it takes nearly another week to get back in sync, all the while you're fatigued. Once you get back in sync, it's Flipper Time...

    You're not an admin, either, so quit telling people how they are allowed to reply on a public forum. Therefore it's advertisement SPAM. Your responses to Paullud are combative, and by repeatedly being combative you are being harassing. You can't post SPAM and then harass members when they...

    New Fleet Owner

    Actually, this post sums up what is all too often wrong with EO. Instead of replying on-topic with answers or advice, you criticize the membership at large with some meaningless big picture comment that doesn't help the OP or the site. If you want to clean out and start fresh, then stay on topic...

    You should have stopped after the first sentence.
