Yes LBD, it does. You know me to be a smart man. If I was wrong, don't you think I'd know it? It censors profanity just fine, it just doesn't censor it to your own personal satisfaction. It does if the entire word is listed in the software's Bad Word Dictionary, yes. Oh, you mean like "In...

No, I see the difference. But if you eliminate school sponsored sports, who picks up the slack? There aren't really a lot of alternatives, especially ones that are anywhere near as cheap. Then there's the problem of when you eliminate school sponsored sports, it kills a lot of school spirit...

Funny stuff. Hilarious. :D

He played the DI in the movie. That's why the commercial is even funnier once you've seen the movie. :D

Oh, Full Metal Jacket is a must-see movie. If for no other reason than the GEICO Therapist commercial will make more sense. My gawd that's funny. :D

Yeah, a Freighliner. There are two or three other dealers close by, too. Cramped parking, that's for sure. It can sometimes be tough to find a crease to squeeze a Sprinter into. If I were in a truck I don't think I'd head over there at night to find a place to park, 'cause you probably won't...

Actually, it does. The forum software, not the typers, puts those asterisks in there to prevent users from using profanity. That's why we can't talk about having a ****tail or about how John Han**** signed the Declaration of Independence.

SSSSHHHHHH..... Third shift dispatcher. Not first, not even second, but third. So you have to allow for.... uhm, you have to be more.... er, uhm, well, you know. It's third shift. You know? :p :D

I do that every time. It's Stockman's, not Stockmen's. It's located next to the now-defunct stockyard and slaughterhouse, so they used to just go next door for their steaks. Now, they get a loin of beef every day and hand cut the steaks from that. They're famous for their steaks. And the...

Most figure it on a weekly basis, whatever the national (or whatever) average is on Monday.

It's always the Ritz wherever I go. I take the Ritz with me. :D

There's the TA in East Hudson, WI, just on the east side of the river, and the TA out west in Rogers, of course. There's also a Holiday Station south of town at Exit 81 on I-35 that has plenty of parking. My favorite is the Stockmen's Truck Stop off I-494 in South St Paul at Exit 64, Hardman...

Good point. I don't drink so I forget about that one, but it's burned a lot of people.

That's a point I'm hinting at, here and in another thread. One of the biggest mistakes someone can make is to take their own limited experience and think it applies elsewhere, especially on a wide scale. There are many carriers who use the Sylectus software and have very different methods of...

The funny thing is, most people didn't even know you could do it at all, until AT&T started advertising "Ohhhhh, sorry, you can't do that on Verizon!" LOL Most people hold their phone to their ear when they talk, so they're not gonna be surfing the Web at the same time anyway, so they never...

"Might be hard to fire up the laptop for that rate." That was pretty entertaining right there all on its own. :D

Of course you think that. You're a dispatcher, and are doing a fine job in reinforcing the stereotypes that everyone here has of dispatchers. Rabitt? Really? No, but you did say, "...if you are on satellite GPS phones, we know which parking space you are in," which, unless you have a live...

I get my information from several sources. But nonetheless, it is 100% accurate. Is it accurate for all carriers and all situations? No, of course not, nothing is. But it's accurate for most carriers. Mark delivers in Armpit on Monday and then goes OOS for truck repair. It takes a week to repair...

Bottom of the board is a term used to denote either a board position as with some carriers, or dwell time as with other carriers. It has to do with FIFO load offer positioning. The term "board" denotes an area or region where other trucks of the same carrier are located. If you go OOS for a...

Not exactly news. Guess what! Some of us drivers have access to those load boards and can see what those loads go for, and we know for an absolute fact that those loads do not go for twice what they pay us, except for rare circumstances where the load must be brokered out at a loss because a...
