    Respect for the dead?

    Well, as a devout Agnostic (with latent Atheistic tendencies), there's always room for doubt, for the possibility that the whole God, Christ and the Holy Spirit thing is really and truly true. What if it is? In that light and in that context, I have to believe that human life is always a good...

    CV head lights

    There are currently no HID conversion kits on the market anywhere that meets those DOT standards. I have, and they're great. They're beyond great, they're awesome. I can understand how someone can quickly become thoroughly and completely unconcerned with any annoyance the glare of these lights...

    Respect for the dead?

    All life, and the death of that life, is worthy of respect, regardless of how one chose to live that life.

    Government takes 10% out of savings accounts..

    That's like McDonald's giving you extra fries for free, because they're all burned. Or Panther giving you a First Out for running a crappy load, in Belgrade, Montana.

    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    If you don't have one already, you really need to get a t-shirt made up with ****! **** on it. It'll be great.

    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    Horse hockey. The only ones out here who are your competition are those who are competing for the same, exact loads as you. If you're in Maryland waiting for a load and someone runs out of fuel in Arkansas, it has zero effect on you. None. Nada. Zilch. Not even the Butterfly Effect comes into...

    Far as I know, aux and driving lights can be pretty much anything, other than red in color.

    Need legal advice!

    The only thing the logs are concrete proof of is what you did. They don't prove a thing insofar as why you did it. Something to keep in mind.

    Need legal advice!

    I'm curious as to how you can run for a fleet owner which you don't know their first and last name. I'm also curious as to how he forced you to run two logbooks. I'm also curious as to why you would keep those logbooks as evidence against yourself of illegal actions, unless you can...

    Insurance Option

    Sure, if you don't pay, they just cancel your coverage. But they're not worried about coverage, or claims. They want their money. They want your money. There enough loopholes and gotcha provisions in policy coverage that they can often keep it, too. What they're most concerned with is whether or...

    Insurance Option

    Using credit scores to determine insurance rates is ridiculous. They're simply not related to one another using any method other than junk science, illusory corollary. A study by the Casualty Actuarial Society shows that people with prior driving violations or accidents and good credit have...

    Boy Scouts Tent fire detectors

    Smoke detectors in Boy Scout tents. That's pretty funny, considering the smoke from a camp fire would have any smoke detectors within 30 yards going off constantly. What's next? Requiring sprinkler systems to be installed in car washes?

    CV head lights

    Only if the vehicle came from the manufacturer with HID lights. The US Code specifies the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and FMVSC No. 108 says all replacement lamps must be able to use the vehicle's existing light source (light bulb socket and electrical wiring, current and voltage)...

    Insurance question

    I wonder what they rates are for a taxi in NYC. It's got to be ridiculous.
