    Earls a wimp

    Awe darn. And I was hoping thousands of people would lose their homes, maybe the entire Atlantic Fleet sunk, too. That would be kewl. Oh, well, plenty of time left in the season. I hate it when hurricanes wimp out.

    who's moderating the forum?

    Well then he could have an entire career just at the Iowa 80 Truckstop. Never have to leave the place.

    What is legal?

    Yeah, there was a list of stuff that people thought you couldn't have in your truck, like after shave, mouthwash, toothpaste, cold medicine, that these items had to be alcohol-free. Turns out that truckstop lawyers and CB chatter and conventional wisdom was largely wrong on the issue. You can...

    That's very true. Actually, it does. The basic core functionality and kernel hasn't changed at all since version 4. Yeah, you're probably right. Nope. Not one bit.

    Flashback: "Humility" one of Beck's 12 values

    Like most Country artists, the Dixie Chicks are best viewed with the sound turned down. This one, though, is the exception. It's just a cute little song about premeditated murder, video staring Lauren Holly, Jane Krakowski and Dennis Franz. Black eyed peas, yum! :D Goodbye Earl

    Picked up Sanford, NC Wed night 1900, deliver Laredo Friday 10AM. No need for a swap.

    I Am Shocked...

    A lot of depends on where you look. It's not as prevalent in the big and straight truck world, even those who drive for fleet owners. It's nearly non-existent with those who own their own trucks. But unsavory, un-sociable, and un-savvy is ubiquitous with van drivers, and is nearly a 100 percent...

    Not that it matters, but I was a paid alpha and beta tester for TravRoute, which is what Co-Pilot used to be called, going back to version 1 back in the early 90's, and continued in that capacity up through Co-Pilot version 9. So I think I have a pretty good understanding of the software, how it...

    Libertarian party says NO to senator Murkowski.

    Embarrassed? Not at all. I accept it with the same appreciation and validity that I accept the criticism and condemnation of other dimwitted dullards. I once sent a letter to the Pope that was almost identically worded.

    Libertarian party says NO to senator Murkowski.

    Everything about the Constitution screams privacy rights. Everything in the Constitution is there specifically to achieve precisely that. While not specifically spelled out in that manner, liberty itself is the paramount right to be left alone. But if there was any doubt about the right to...

    I don't think I turn them on much, either. But, they turn me on, which is what really matters. :D

    Libertarian party says NO to senator Murkowski.

    There ya go. It's when people start trying to insert their own little bits of agenda into things where it gets mucked up.

    Libertarian party says NO to senator Murkowski.

    Yes, it is about the babies, babies that aren't yours. But it is religion that gives you the perceived authority to tell people what to do about it. True, conservative Libertarian. Depends on how far back you want to go for "has never been". Perhaps in the context of this country and how...

    Libertarian party says NO to senator Murkowski.

    I had a feeling this is where it would end up. But sure you can have it both ways. The litmus test for a conservative isn't how religious you are, or how strongly you want to tell others what they can and can't do, which is what religion is mostly all about. There are many social issues that I...

    So how long would YOU wait in Albany?

    That's the problem, Albany itself isn't all that great, but it's in the middle of a lot of freight, even if it's 100 miles or so to go get it. I'd have waited a few days. Mondays can be weird in expediting, really slow sometimes, so if you don't get loaded on Monday it's not much of a shocker...

    Libertarian party says NO to senator Murkowski.

    Well, duh, she's not liberal. Do you really think if she came out staunchly against a Tea Party candidate, albeit i conservative one, that she would have much influence over how people voted? I don't. Mostly I see her as influencing people who have already decided what they are going to do. She...

    I didn't mention it because I hate to beat a dead horse, but of all the navigation programs available, Co-Pilot is probably the worst. When you compare it, its accuracy, routing and address database, to Streets & Trips, Rand McNally, Tom Tom, Garmin, any of them, Co-Pilot comes up way short. You...

    I Am Shocked...

    Man, that's the truth. It's a significant majority percentage from what I've seen. You'd think at this point the carriers, particularly the ones who advertise here, would be mentioning it in orientation or something. Lawrence needs to make some phone calls.
