    Dont you just hate it when.....

    I hate it when I deliver to one town, then deadhead to another, better town to get a load, which picks up in the town that I just delivered to.

    What's the difference between...

    There's not much difference to the driver, other than what Leo stated, but there are some differences from an accounting point of view of the paying party. They often go on different spots on the ledger, some companies use one as a fixed expense and the other as variable. Some customers have...

    TA Fuel Discount is no more

    When did this discount go away? They removed the carrier discount showing up on the receipt printouts a couple of months or so ago, but I'm still getting mine. Got it today, as a matter of fact. At the TA in San Antonio, the (non-cash) pump price is $3.09, and the Cash Discount price at the...

    Did anyone see what happened?

    I haven't heard the media being quiet on this at all. Of the major news outlets, all of their Top 5 Stories include this one. This is just one more case of a special interest group trying to use the courts to force their deal onto the majority. The judge stated the policy was unconstitutional...

    TA Menu and food choices

    Thanks for the update. As someone who is a trained chef and has managed everything from fast food to fine dining (4-star) restaurants, this is something that interests me greatly, as I already understand many of the issues they face.

    UltraOne Expediter 2nd Chance Points Policy Change

    Re: ultra one 2nd chance points policy change I know. I'd take the credit card and the UltraONE card into the clerk to get the pumps turned on, even though the front desk clerk usually can't process the UltraONE card, but I'd give it to them anyway. They'll say they can't process it up there...

    looking to buy a cargo van

    Like OVM said, I don't go out of my way for much of anything, especially something as routine and pedestrian as oil. When I'm driving right past an Autozone I'll stop in. I drove right by two of them today while on a load. Stopped both times. Got three quarts each time. I do it that way for...

    looking to buy a cargo van

    No, you can buy your own oil and filter, and then have them change it at Walmart, and the total amount it'll cost you, including the oil, filter and the Walmart labor, will be about $110. If oil is $7.50 a quart, 10 quarts will run you $75.00. A filter is $10, so that's $85. A Fumoto Drain...

    barry Admits his Renewed Relationship with Foreigners is over.....

    My point is, and it's what Diva hit on, Obama isn't the treasurer of a campaign fund, nor is he the chairman of the DNC, so he shouldn't be wasting any time at all on this, much less using his position as the President of the United States of America for personal attacks on individuals in...

    Fun At The Philly Rally.....

    Was it thrown AT HIM, or at AN IMAGE of him? Because you said HIM, not IMAGE. There's a difference. One's the truth, one's not. If he'd shot the television instead of throwing a shoe at it, would you be calling him Elvis?

    Fun At The Philly Rally.....

    No, you don't see. It's not all good regardless, but what makes it newsworthy is whether or not it's newsworthy. Some idiot author throwing a book on stage isn't newsworthy, and any press he gets will only sell books for him. If the book had been tied to a brick and had hit Obama in head, it...

    Good versus bad

    Not true. The first response was mine, and you apparently assumed that I was directing that towards bad drivers. The original poster asked two very direct questions, and made one statement. I answered both questions as well as addressed the statement. My answer went directly to bad owners and...

    Fun At The Philly Rally.....

    The book was thrown by an overly eager author who wanted Obama’s support for his book. The unknown author was detained by the Secret Service but was released when they realized he wasn’t a real threat to Obama. I just can't imagine why that doesn't warrant the same number of video playbacks...

    This should blow your minds

    Absolutely, but the problem comes when we say they're wrong and we're right, when we are, in fact, doing the same things they are, except we use different methods, and because we're doing it, it's OK for use to do it. People don't want to hear about the bad stuff we do, because, of course...

    barry Admits his Renewed Relationship with Foreigners is over.....

    This isn't a case of foreign relations being over, it's a case of the President of the United States of American spending more than half a second on something that, even if it were true, doesn't matter one wit to the American people.

    UltraOne Expediter 2nd Chance Points Policy Change

    Re: ultra one 2nd chance points policy change The ability to call Customer Service and have points added was a new thing that was added for the UltraONE card rollout, specifically to deal with problems of the new program. In the past, if you didn't swipe your card at the pump or have the fuel...
