My thoughts exactly. In software engineering there's a saying, Reinventing The Square Wheel, which is the practice of unnecessarily engineering artifacts that provide functionality already provided by existing standard artifacts (reinventing the wheel) and ending up with a worse result than...

I must say, this has turned into a pretty interesting thread, for a drive-by posing. :D Lots of good info in here.

PMs are limited to 5000 characters, soooo, 4 messages headed your way. :D

Me, too. This is exciting. I can think of a dozen automotive plants right off the top of my head where that trailer will absolutely not be allowed on the property, and there's no place to drop it while delivering. I wish he was going to be a regular expediter instead of just an automotive...

Tennesseahawk has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space. I can respond here, or in PM's if/when you clear your inbox. I'm fine either way.

Thanks to the FMCSA and their crystal clear as mud prose, a lot of people do. The same "we" that always gets it screwy backwards on the weight issues between licensing and logging? Those "we"? LOL Sorry, couldn't pass that one up. But imprecise language results in imprecise knowledge. What works...

There's a reason nobody seems to like your idea. It's because (1) you're not the first person to come up with idea (meaning, the wheel has already been invented, many times by many people), and (2) if it were viable and acceptable to do what you want, then there would be a significant percentage...

That's not entirely true. Especially since it's not a random test "by definition," it's a random test "by regulation". Your excellent dissection of the definition of "random", in breaking out "reason" to highlight, failed to also break out "pattern" and "definite aim", both of which can and...

That's the seminal question you really should know and understand. What you don't seem to understand is that just because you use your cube van to haul their freight, the instant you hook up a trailer it no longer is a cube van, but a combination vehicle. If you tell the carrier you're hauling...

"Shocked and mortified, my husband and I stewed over her claim for hours, well, more like days. Actually, we are still stewing a little. How long had this been going on before they finally decided to confront us?" Probably for exactly the same amount of time they chose to have a window...

Oh, I'm sure that there are more than a few people who find that odd, but most of them are ignorant of the fact that what is now known as Kenya was previously known as "The Colony and Protectorate of Kenya" when the "East Africa Protectorate" (also known as ("British East Africa") was...

That's just for how much disck space you want to allot to the cache. You can leave that unchecked, or specify an amount. It used to be that it would default to 50MB, and then it went to 250MB, but because of videos and stuff it defaults to automatic cache management and can be up to 1GB of...

It's not the best idea, but it's not fraught with disaster like some want to make it out to be. At low idle speeds (with any turbo diesel, not just Sprinters) there isn't enough heat and pressure to keep the EGR valve clear, so you wind up with excess exhaust getting into the EGR valve and...

Hawk absolutely nailed it with his first response: I'm going to dress like a skinhead, and walk down Visiger St in Detroit. If I get killed, it isn't my fault. Right? Women know exactly what they are doing when they get dressed. They know exactly how to advertise, and when they attract what...

No, setting it to "never remember history" will have it delete traces of Web sites previously visited. You might certainly want to do that if someone else uses your computer and you don't want them to know which Web sites you've visited in the last month or so, but for most out here in a truck...

The problem is, over the years we've seen this over and over again. Most of the people who enter this business, in the order you are entering it, fail utterly. I got my van and a set of keys and I'm ready to roll. Show me the money. Hey, I can drive a van, it's easy. I don't need to learn...

Yeah, 7 sluts and 2,993 spectators. Oh, I am. Big fan. :D

Turning off the satellite TV in the middle of a Reds game to accept and roll a load offer. That's tough.

"Commerce Claws" It just doesn't get any better than that. :D

Herman Cain - He has stated one more than one occasion that there is no need for an audit of the Federal Reserve, that it's working just fine as is, they have no hidden secrets. Instead, if you want to know about the Federal Reserve and how it works, you should just call them up and ask one of...
