    He Really LIKES You All...From Kentucky With Love..

    Yeah, but the people who live out in the country in Warren and Butler counties are rednecks. So is Mike Reynolds himself, a good ol' boy (albeit a Democrat) redneck from Bowling Green. If this was some northern snot calling them rednecks, there'd be Hеll to pay, but he's a local boy. It was...

    Meaner Cleaner

    Meaner Cleaner has no anti-gel properties, so when it gets cold you'll need to use an anti-gel, something like Power Service or Howes. During the winter I'll use an anti-gel, but also add a little Meaner Cleaner to (nearly) every tank just to keep the injectors clean, since it's the best product...

    Joke Behar and The View

    Indeed. Whatever the original intentions for building it there, that's not gonna happen anymore. It's an insanely stupid idea to build a mosque that close to Ground Zero now. There are simply too many idiots here who will hang out down there just looking for a fight, and they'll find one, even...

    building a generator?

    Before I went in-service for the very first time ever, I removed the passenger seat from my E-350 and built my Turtle Desk. I was proud of my Turtle Desk and very pleased with myself for my original thinking. I went in-service and drove to the Flying J on Oal Grove to wait for my first load. I...

    Is it legal to shave a drivers miles?

    Some carriers engage in various degrees of fraud, absolutely. None will admit it, tho. But it depends with regard to mileage. If the paying customer is paying for 580 miles, and the carrier in turn in paying you for 580 miles, but the actual loaded miles is 650, there was no intent to to...

    newbies,would you do it again

    I would say less than a year. It takes 6 months just to figure out what the heck you're doing in expediting, regardless of how much previous regular freight experience one has. After 6 months you at least start to become comfortable with the fact that every day and every load is different, and...

    Joke Behar and The View

    That's a pretty bizarre conclusion. I would imagine that ownership of the property at 51 Park is a factor in where it gets built. If people feel intimidated, it's because of what all is going on in their mind, because the mosque certainly isn't doing anything intimidating. At this point, it's...

    Sorry Leo, you're wrong. There is no reason to trek out to an abortion clinic to pray unless you want to put on a show, for publicity, to intimidate, harass and to inflict judgment on others. That's pure evil no matter how you want to justify it. People who do this are attempting to use religion...

    building a generator?

    The drawbacks have been well documented here on EO. The biggest one is when you're signed on with multiple companies, it's not unusual for all of the companies that you're signed on with to be bidding on the same freight, for you, and you and the carrier end up running it for less than you would...

    California Pot?

    Yep, so all you have to do is not drive until it's out of your system. As for stupid laws, outlawing pot is one of the stupidest there is. And this is coming from someone who has never smoked a joint.

    California Pot?

    Oh, good grief. What does that have to do with Prop 19 and driving with THC still in your system? This was supposed to be a fun question, now you're all Omabinated again.

    California Pot?

    No, it only changes one thing, the legality of smoking pot in the state of California. It won't change at all the legality of driving while under the influence of pot, nor of driving with any THC in your system. No, you're merely trying to make it a federal issue of states rights. That doesn't...

    California Pot?

    Simple, don't drive until it's out of your system. Duh. Show me the law in California where it was you can drive a heavy vehicle with any level of THC in your system. You can't, because there isn't one. California has the same laws as every other state regarding THC being present in your system...

    Very noticable vibration / noise coming from drive line area

    The rumble strip noise, sounds like. My guess is the current owner of the van read that ridiculous maintenance directive that got lost in translation, actually believed it, and changed the transmission fluid "once only at 80,000 miles", and has never had it changed since. I'd want to see...

    California Pot?

    Exactly. For the federal government to override a state law in the case of smoking pot, then one of two things would have to be true. One, that it's legal in the state of California to drive a CMV while high or while you have pot in your system and the federal government comes along and says no...

    Joke Behar and The View

    I don't think he was replying to me, since if he was, he called me a name in a condescending manner, and he's dead set against any unkosher name calling around here. So he must be talking to someone actually nicknamed Sport. Otherwise, it's just being hypocritical and we all know Leo would never...

    Wonder why?

    Well there ya go. I've never been in the military, so I was just, ahem, shooting in the dark. I still think it was a bad snap decision by a some NCO that had a brain fart. If the videos were to be destroyed for some real reason, good or bad, then most likely a commissioned officer would have...

    California Pot?

    It's really simpler than that. You could be a perfectly legal hippie pot smoker, just don't drive a CMV, or drive a railroad engine, or fly a plane, or lots of things you can't do while under the influence. Just because it's legal to smoke pot in California doesn't mean it's suddenly legal to...

    The single best decision

    He's just giving Biden a little love, same way Bush gave Brownie a little love right after Katrina. <snort>

    Wonder why?

    Probably because it's illegal to photograph anything on most military bases, including Ft Hood, without expressed permission from the military, and the NCO made a bad snap call when he ordered the videos destroyed on the same day the videos were shot.
