Clearly, anyone needing a Ford cargo van alternator, or any other part for that matter at 2 AM, the first call should be to the col. At least that's my understanding of all this.

Cargo van freight out of Laredo excepted. :D

I didn't way you were. I was very careful about that in my wording, as I don't really know your intentions or motives. I said the stated reason (which you stated, true enough, and thus you) appears disingenuous, which leaves room for doubt. As for Choice B, it's a little late to be rewriting...

Whether it comes out of your pocket or it comes out of the 60% is pure semantics. If the carrier advances you a portion of your money that you use for fuel, it's still coming out of the 60% and thus out of your pocket. If you don't get an advance and need to buy fuel, you pay for it out of...

The Compubuddy Laptop Sock, for the discriminating porn viewer in flight. Warning: do not attempt this while driving.

Saw a poll the other day where 86% of Americans disapprove of the performance of Congress. Who are these butt-stupid 14%?

Yes, if you have a 4G phone then the data and voice move over different radios, even when in a 3G area, so with a 4G phone you can do both at the same time. Sometime next year, Verizon will begin implementing VoLTE, which is voice over LTE, completely bypassing the 3G network for voice. I...

Challenge extended.... Challenge accepted. :D

I have a spreadsheet on Google Docs that I use to enter the particulars of a load to quickly see how profitable it is. But being on Google Docs it's more or less useless, since I can't use it while I'm on the phone to a dispatcher, because as I don't have A T and Teeeeeee, I can't surf and talk...

You cannot surf (tethered or otherwise) and talk at the same time on Verizon (or Sprint or any other CDMA network). While you are on a CDMA phone call, no Internet data will move to or from the phone, like a weather app updating, e-mail programs won't sync, Google Navigator will lose the GPS...

Third shift dispatchers getting stressed out and freaking out while looking for the most expedient solution to a problem is the norm. I'd have done what you did, probably, but I would have called the shop to make sure they had the alternator in stock and brought it out with them. Get it fixed...

Those who complain the loudest are the same ones who don't vote but say they do, and don't write their elected officials but say they do.

Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Steve, and director of Facebook's marketing, has stated that "People need to be required to use their real names on the Internet. Anonymity on the Net needs to go away to combat the ongoing cyberbullying crisis." A crisis, I tell you. <snort> Nothing like the classic...

As it is quite impossible to gleen any kind of opinion whatsoever from a YES/NO answer to the question posed, the above stated reason appears disingenuous at best. It would appear that the thread was started to compile a list of YES/NO drivers who do and do not use some kind of decking system...

I know, I've seen 'em. The commercials cast a wide net looking for any and every body who might qualify. But I know of several people (two personally) who are on food stamps who do not qualify for the free cell phones.

If that makes you feel better, then fine. But my insults are not backdoor insults, they are in-your-fact insults, because you are insulted by facts which expose ignorance and lack of comprehensibility. You stated things above which are incorrect, in an attempt to discredit me and thus what I...

It's an unofficial stealth poll.

Off the shoulder of I-75 in southern GA I spotted a Bighorn sheep. I expect to see that in Colorado or Montana, but not a few miles north of Florida. What you saw was almost certainly a wild (or escaped) Boer Goat. The rough triangle between London, Berea and Hazard more or less is Boer Goat...

I think you've managed to come up with a way to put someone on Reverse Ignore. :D
