I made no assessment as to what "financially sound" means. "Someone stating that a company is not as financially sound as another implies and in fact says it is not so good financially!" Sorry, but no. You may choose to infer that, but that is not what was stated. It may very well have been...

A Treasure Trove of Portable Toilets for Travel, Camping, & Tailgating. Seriously. You won't believe it. Seriously. Go crazy folks! Go Crazy! My favorite...

I've had my laptop searched twice by Canadian customs, both times were many years ago and it didn't take 15 minutes. But I've been reading where US Customs are starting to search any and all electronic devices with greater zeal and frequency, thanks to the New Directives on Border Searches of...

Just one of many. I didn't want to start naming names. Figured everyone could fess up here if they wanted to. The problem is, they don't have great big signs warning the dumb Americans that they shouldn't go on that road. The locals know, but nobody else does. If they had a sign that said...

"The incentives could attack a national epidemic of obesity." The incentives are going to attack the Farm Bill, which is the root cause of obesity? It's pretty sad that a bag of Oreos containing an unbelievable number of processed foods costs less than a bunch of broccoli that contains zero...

It's not uncommon for expediters to go postal. The other way around is pretty rare, tho. Good luck! :)

"I didn't tell this couple they couldn't get married. I just told them I wouldn't do it." And there ya go. A citizen exercising his right not to do something. It's not like he's the only judge in town. They can have another judge sign the marriage certificate, or a minister, and they're...

Isn't Lithuania a Slavish State?

"A few emails explain about duty logs, a few went into the BOL, load securement and even insurance. So they are not letting the vans just slide." No, they are not just letting vans slide, but many of the the laws apply to the general driving public as well. If my van is clearly overloaded and...

No, they don't accept EZ Pass. You need a specific transponder, same as you need specific transponders for the the tolls in Florida, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and California. On the 407, if you are a commercial vehicle you must have an electronic transponder installed. If you don't, you can...

I always carry at least two spare bulbs of every bulb. Not so much for emergencies as for easy and quickness of replacement. A couple of times I have noticed a tail light out when at the shipper or consignee, and I've replaced it right there. Whenever I replace a bulb, I never toss the packaging...

"Granted, being owned by a larger parent company isn't necessarily a sign that the company is profitable - we all remember what happened to Con-Way Now." Good example of an unfounded rumor that will likely never go away. Con-Way NOW was, in fact, very profitable. Their P&L sheets unambiguously...

Not if you have the house bank properly fused. Now, if you didn't bother to fuse the house bank connection from the isolator, as most people fail to do, and instead just have a cable going directly from the isolator to the house battery, yeah, you can jump it right at the isolator. If it's...

I was going to respond to Pilgrim on this issue, but didn't. Now, I'm forced, forced I tell you, to respond. Apparently, a lot of people don't know why bigs and straights have to log. Like Highway Star says, people have been saying for a long time that cargo vans will soon, any day now, any...

Piper and I will be here all week. Try the veal.

Everybody who drives faster than me is a maniac. Everybody who drives slower than me is a moron.

If you properly apply the Liquid nails so that the adhesion is sufficient to do the job for expediting, when it comes time to remove the plywood deck, whether it's to replace damaged deck 6 months from now, or to permanently remove it when you want to sell the van, do you really think it's...

"He is posting about himself!!" Uhm, yeah, that's pretty obvious. No one extols the virtues of someone they found on Craigslist, unless they are extolling themselves. Craigslist is the mother ship for scammers, hookers and simpletons. So, Mr Data Tard, now that you have discovered this site...

Oh, I could have some fun with that. Imagine the varied things you could stuff into black bags. :D

My best was 183 MPH, and I did it while motionless at the Flying J in Franklin, KY. That was a kewl day.
