They're all good, and they'll all drive you crazy in their own unique way. If you don't mind being baby-sat and are smart enough to learn how the system works, you'll make good money at Panther. If you look good in purple and teal, and you like wearing purple and teal every day, FedEx is the one...

No roof fan, no insulation, just an iron box sitting there on black asphalt under the sun. Yeah, that's what they do to you when you've misbehaved in a prison in French Guiana. They call it the cooler. :D When it gets too hot, and I'm sick and tired of sitting there and sweating, I can actually...

I've been in Laredo for days at a time when it was 110 every day, when the van's AC wasn't working. It was fun. But, once you get down south, if you can stay there for a while, it takes about 2 weeks to get used to it, but you will get used to it. Roof fan, cracked windows, maybe another fan...

Yeah, the e-mail is like 5 years old. They've had photo radar in Illinois since 2005.

Great story, but there are some significant problems there. Those batteries should last 7 or 8 years, but I'll be very surprised if he's still got the same a year from now, which will be a little less than three years on them. Biggest problem with solar panels, IMHO, is that they are very...

Now we need an explanation from TA, otherwise the wild stories will get out there. While not impossible, this certainly makes it harder to accurately record fuel purchases. I wonder if it's as simple as too many fuel tickets were left laying around and TA got tired of listening to drivers from...

I get those, too, but then I take a shower.

No matter what you haul in your expedite truck, expedited freight is still "time-sensitive freight", time-sensitive at the pickup or the delivery, usually both, and usually delivered straight through. That's the litmus test. Special handling, refer, exclusive use, and many other things may...

According to many people on the RV sites, the Generac 2000 doesn't have the initial power to fire up a 12k BTU air conditioner, as those require 3000 Watts to start. If the AC unit requires more than 2200 Watts to start, the Generac won't start it. But, the same 2000 Watt Honda generator will...

Naive pretty much nails it. Liberals are all about the Utopian, and think that if they believe it, really, really hard, then others will all get along. But just like most other feel-good things, they don't bother to consider the consequences, the ramifications, both the inevitable and the...

One benefit of having satellite TV in the truck is the LINK channel, which carries Al Jazeera television news. You get to see things from a slightly different perspective. Ironically, they're fair and balanced, even when it makes Muslims looks bad, really bad. Back to our regularly scheduled...

An insinuation is generally a covertly and artfully performed suggestion, usually one of a derogatory nature. You also used innuendo, which is similarly an indirect intimation, a hint, suggestion, an implication. Mine was none of that. You merely inferred it to be so, but even at that, an...

Uh, oh. Now we're in trouble. :D Glad to hear it. :)

Yeah, I cringe every time I see someone new to this business driving a brand new van, or especially a brand new Sprinter. But whether it's a van, Sprinter or a truck, it's all the same, just a matter of scale. Like Greg said, the procedures are the same regardless.

It's really not newsworthy at all. It's a manufactured "angry event" to get people all riled up and frothy, mainly for ratings. I wonder how many people here have actually clicked the link and watched the entire 21 minute and 54 second interview? I'm guessing not very many. It's easier to take...

I don't think it's inadvertent at all. I think it's highly orchestrated by the people who get richer when things go bad, and then keep getting richer when things bounce back. Float the rumor that things are going to be bad, bad, bad. Buy certain stocks, commodities and futures based on that...
