Moousé, Really no need to wonder bout that ..... it's pretty plain ..... my oil wouldn't stink .... just like my *hit ...... :p ..... 31710 miles and counting ..... Mmmm ...... and to keep on topic ...... empty shipping containers (plastic bins)

Forecast for the next 200 hours: Mostly cloudy ..... Chances of rain (on someone's parade): 100%

Well, I'll do my best to keep it civil ..... but please don't expect me to suffer any foolishness either (...... gladly .... or otherwise) Actually, it's rlent .... but no matter, really. Doug - yup I made some comments - and I asked questions .... maybe questions that one might do well to...

BTW, while I might well be classified as a cheerleader for my carrier, that doesn't mean that I am not prone to thinking the absolute worst about them at times - maybe it's just human nature, maybe it's a hazard of the job where you have too much time on your hands ..... or perhaps it is just my...

Yes ..... but I dunno .... it just seems to me that perhaps one might do what one can to make an effort to change those things which one finds less than ideal or flawed about whoever one is leased to .... by first trying to remedy the situation before going public with it. IOW, try to take as...

Yeah ..... ya gotta love it when the peeps are lookin' out for ya. I'm runing a load last week and I stop for a 3 hour nap - send Dispatch a message: "I am taking a rest break - going to sleep for 3 hours - do not reply to this message" (just in case they got any bright ideas and figured...

The true marks of a class operation ..... :D

Please explain to us in detail 'zactly how that works .... Yup .... I'm fairly sure that's what it is .... they probably are calling in their cargo van favorites from parts distant to run them Tejas loads .... likely at $2 per mile ..... plus the fuel surcharge !!!

I haven't lately - I was there (for less than 72 hours) a couple of weeks ago - and ran one load inside the state while I was there. Long load in, and a longer load back out (..... in less than 36 hours after I dropped the inbound) No idea ..... whatcha figger they lied about ? Because ...

Heheheh .... good one Richard. Personally, I dunno .... going back in once per year might not be so bad ..... might give ya a chance to see what's changed, what's new and exciting if anything, and generally just stay more connected up to the mothership .... and who knows ..... one might even...

We use ATT, switched to them (back when they were still Cingular) from Verizon more than 5 years ago probably. Up until a few months ago I had been using my original Sony T616 that i got when we signed on with them ..... it was getting pretty beat - buttons were a little flakey - so I upgraded...

I'm not deadheading anywhere ....... well, just a little mebbe ... I have a load going to Toledo for Monday that I picked up Friday night ..... the J in Knoxville was more or less on the way ..... (about 20 miles out of the way, round trip) .... I needed fuel and have internet access there ...

The only one ? Yup ..... that would be me. I don't disagree that being in the right place at the right time is critical .... but to say that it is the only thing that matters ..... well, that just hasn't been my experience. Nothing wrong with your cautionary advice - many would be...

OVM. Yeah ...... that calculator of yours do put the light on it :D .... like I said, anyone considering same should have their head examined - it's tough enough when you actually own the vehicle.

As has been said previously, if you are considering driving for an owner in a cargo van ..... well, then ....... consider having your head examined as well, as you could very well be nuts. Just not enough money in that equation even in good times, at least from where I'm sittin'. With the...

Well shoot .... wish I had known ...... I would have joined you ..... always up for a little dead cow ..... I dropped in Duncan, SC at early Friday morning and picked up in Morganton, NC yesterday evening .... then came over to the J in Knoxville to spend the weekend ..... before heading up...

Boy ..... sheesh ... I'll bet you're just the life of the party aren't ya ? :p

OVM - nope haven't done it - I've thought about it repeatedly, going back and forth. Usually doesn't get all that cold here at the house - probably the only place that I would use it - since it's kinda hard to find a plug out on the road. Thus far I've had no problems starting in really...

Wonder what they expect a cargo van or Sprinter to do ?

Well said ....... it is very tempting at times .... and an all-too-easy trap to fall into. ;)
