Oh, I understand it completely. But I also understand, completely, that when someone's free speech exercised in public is squashed, regardless of who's doing the swashing, it's a violation of their inalienable rights. Private censorship is fine, but only if the private entity has the authority...

"Best" is pretty subjective. It might mean the easiest to drive, the easiest to learn the business while driving, or the one that makes the most money, or the one that offers the most comforts. But in general, whatever vehicle that may be, the "best" one is the one that's in excellent mechanical...

Not everybody lives in Michigan. And try as they will, Michigan is not the center of the universe. Very few states still issue a chauffeur license at all, and only 2 that I know of still issue them for non-passenger vehicles (Michigan and Rhode Island) for the 10k-26k vehicles described above...

Selectively allowing freedom of speech now are we? Seriously? That's a little scary. Probably should have thought that one through a little more carefully before you wrote it. Does your freedom of speech end right where Muslims begin to practice their religion? Whoops. Freedom of speech and...

That's one of those that's so easily confusable, anyway. There are lots of things that look one way, but when you look at the regs closer it all depends on which part and subpart they are discussing. Like a CMV is defined one way for the vehicle, but another way for the driver with respect to...

If you notice, though, Phelps and company don't protest on private property. To a point, that is. They generally stick to public property. Often that's as simple as across the street from the cemetery. A cemetery is often private property, but with public access, however. From a legal...

The more the better. :)

Mine talks to me all the time. Sometimes the conversations are interesting, but usually it's along the lines of, "Thank you for getting me out of there. Those people kept feeling me up."

There are really only two "best ways" to do that. One is use a generator, and the other is use a separate house bank of batteries for all inverter activities. The bestest best way is to use a house bank and a generator where the generator can be used to run high amp draw applications like an air...

I know at least three others with open Sprinters who use the D2, and they have no complaints. The D2 will keep you warm in an open Sprinter if the van is insulated. It'll just have to work a little harder to do it is all. Where the D2 may spend a lot of time on Medium power, the D4 will be on...

For the same reason men stay with their wives. OK, maybe not. Yes it is the same with every carrier out there. All carriers suck, even the carriers that people love. If you stick a gun to the cheerleaders' heads, even they can come up with ways their carriers suck. But just because a carrier...

For me the biggest factors are logging and scaling, and parking. And U-turns. Yeah, U-turns may be the biggest factor. Ever drive by the cons and go, "Oh, there it is. Whoops." That's got to be a PITA in a straight truck. I don't even want to think about it for a T/T.

Any new program at the Pilot will affect Flying J, since they are now one company, no difference between them at all. Both the Pilot's and Flying J's official company name is "Pilot Flying J". You'll see this new logo at the Flying J Web site, as well as at Pilot's site. You can certainly tell...

Well, you can believe this. This is the real reason dinosaurs went extinct.

Oh, you can talk to Safety, but by and large (despite dispatch telling you that it's Safety who made the decision) it's not Safety who makes the decision. All Safety does is determine when that 5 hour break happens. It's dispatch, whoever is in charge of monitoring your load and making sure that...

I don't know. They keep saying it so often. Fortunately, I like Chinese food. You know what they call Chinese food in China? Food.

Not really. You get that message AFTER you've accepted the terms and conditions of the load offer. In effect, that disclaimer is saying, "Oh, you know those terms and conditions you just agreed to? BBBWWWAAAAHHHAAHHHAAA" I don't mind the swaps, since the rules are there and I know them going...
