There you go... again. How many Gamins do you know of that have the same issue? One. Count 'em, one. And you take that once instance and make the leap to a blanket statement of fact with no qualifications whatsoever. That's just irresponsible. And earlier about the Garmin you stated. "Cheri...

DING DING DING We have a winner! :D

Ok, so you're a card carrying member of the Tea Party. You've got your Palin 2010 bumper sticker on the back of your Hummer. You've signed all of those online petitions to add Ronald Reagan's face to Mt. Rushmore and the nickel. But are you really conservative enough? The first thing...

First, "Kathy Griffin" and "good taste" in the same sentence? Please. She's dropped the F-bomb on live television, twice, a year apart from each other, and she knew what she was doing both times. Second, a politician's life is a public one, including his family's, the minute he appears on...

Well, they couldn't do any informing before the merger date, due to both SEC rules and under the J's bankruptcy agreement. But the day the merger happened, a list of affected locations went on line. In addition to the Julesburg, CO; North Wells, NV; and Payson, UT Flying J locations that will...

As Cheri mention, south Texas is a regular expedite destination, but so are the Carolinas. Of course, you can go 6 months without getting a load to Texas, and then all of a sudden you're down there 4 or 5 times in a month. Same with the Carolinas. But both areas regularly see expedite loads in...

To say that I haven't listened to what you are saying is perhaps a bit disingenuous. Not only have I listened intently, I've listened intently enough to pick up on the many inconsistencies and some of the conclusions that have been draw that are based on assumption, illusory corollary, and on a...

Yeah, purple and teal aren't exactly "straight" colors, are they? :D

I would have responded, but I'm in a Sprinter and can't really offer intelligent advice about a 12,500 GVW truck. There are some of those out here, so somebody is making it work, but I don't see much of those with any of the major carriers. From my perspective, like Dakota said, that truck is...

One example of how they actively look for other trucks with which to dispatch around someone with low acceptance is, I once had a load delivering to Laredo on a Saturday morning, 9AM. Around noon on Friday they called me with a load that was picking up in Brownsville later Saturday afternoon...

You'll probably make more money as a solo in a straight truck than you will in a Sprinter, simply because there are more load opportunities for straight trucks than Sprinters or cargo vans. Plus, most carriers will load a straight truck ahead of a van, to keep that straight truck moving and...

Oh geez. Gimme a break. First, no one is asking you anything about the design and making of the TND. We, or at least I, am asking for the data that supports your statements of fact, such as "Power outputs for mA to the USB ports have been turned down." Where's the information to support such a...

Feel-good and liberal, to be sure, but keep in mind that this was voted on statewide in a general election, and the voter's voices have been heard. They may change their voice when the price of eggs triple, tho. It should be pointed out that nutritionally and cosmetically, there are no...

Good. You should bow down. We need more people like you. Man, there's no reason to go all "drama queen" on this. Just answer some of the questions and address some of the inconsistencies of your statement without all of the "I could tell you, but the NDA would make me have to kill you, but...

I agree, well put Jim. I'm a Golden Rule kinda guy. And as such, when I ask someone to stop annoying me about this or that subject, regardless of the subject, I expect them to respect my wishes. If someone wants to proselytize, that's fine, right up until the point where it's no longer welcome...

Just don't use my real name. Use my alias, Testudine, instead. :D

As someone who has extensive alpha and beta test experience with both hardware and software, both paid and unpaid, including having the exalted title of Lead Beta Tester on more than one occasion, I can tell you that every time you tell people you are the "Lead Beta Tester" it becomes less and...

No problem. I had hoped the "conspiracy to incite littering" would have been the clue. :D Proselytizing occurs in many ways about many things, and almost all of them are annoying when put into practice. The Kosher Tax crowd, the folks who believe Bush stole the election in Florida, the Birthers...

If you Acceptance Rate falls below 67%, then you need to go to where there are no other trucks, or certainly where there are more loads than trucks, and where there are few other trucks coming in to bump you down. If you are below 67%, they will dispatch you only as a last resort. They will...

Depends. The US Constitution's statement about having the right to confront your accuser only applies in criminal cases. Many states and localities are changing speeding and red light offenses, at least the ones that are caught on camera, to that of a civil case, in which you don't get to...
