Re: log book "In case of an accident you have the logs to show your a compliant commercial driver." I dunno. Van drivers aren't CMV drivers, and since the vehicle nor the driver are regulated, "compliant" doesn't enter into it. There's nothing to be compliant with insofar as HoS is concerned...

A State Tax Stamp just means the tax was paid in a given state. It is not the same thing as an Import Duty, and more than 200 cigarettes being imported are subject to the import duty (or confiscation, depending on where they originated). I'm not sure why that particular number was settled on...

I'm sure others besides myself got a chuckle out of that one. But you're new here and likely don't know of my long love affair with the collection of idiots, morons and incompetents loosely referred to as the people in Seville. You, maybe, but not me. I usually just say, "No thanks." If they ask...

The rules are pretty clear on things like tobacco. 200 cigarettes can be imported into the US if they were previously exported. Meaning, if you bought them here and then took them into Canada, that's when you previously exported them. You can then import them (bring them back into the country...

Most expedited loads are 1 or 2 skids, or more than 4. There are some 3 skid loads, and generally speaking the more you can haul the more better. I started out in that van (well, not that particular one, but one like it, well, you know) and I moved to a Sprinter. But in the Sprinter I can haul 2...

"The company has already limited their liability, they can cover their a** quickly by showing that you freely accepted the load, the shipper has no control over what happens so they are left out but you as the driver have all the responsibility and will bear the brunt of the problems. It is you...

No matter what they tell you, the dispatchers at Panther cannot return a favor. Like, they cannot go out and find you a load. All they can do is dispatch the loads that the CSR's give them. Also, even if they could return a favor, they don't have the time. As soon as they hang up with you they...

I was nekkid in the shower. :D Had a load from Calexico to Marion, IL. Stopped in at Matthews to fuel and shower before the delivery this morning. I was only there for an hour, maybe an hour and a half. Ran another one after I delivered, and am now on my way to pick one up headed for beautiful...

While that happens a lot with regular drugs, not so much with vaccines, influenza vaccines in particular. Flu shots, and their effectiveness and side effects, are tracked independently by too many organizations around the world, from the CDC to the WHO to your neighbor who is a nurse at the...

I don't believe that you (or the writer of the article) ever said it either. I certainly never said that you (or the writer of the article) said it. By your statement that you don't believe that you (or the writer of the article) ever said it, does that mean you are accusing me of stating that...

They have flu shots every year. Every year. During the 1918 influenza pandemic doctors tried everything from leeches to VooDoo to find a cure. Blood transfusions were the only remedy that showed results. In 1931, influenza viral growth in chicken eggs was discovered, and in the 1940s the...

Yes, exactly.The right to be left alone, at least insofar as government intrusion, is a pretty valued right by most people. The Fourth Amendment explicitly affirms the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures."...

Nitrofill is a more expensive nitrogen than most nitrogen. It has a higher concentration 99%-plus, versus 93-95% for most places), and usually comes in bottles, instead of the nitrogen generating machine that most places have. At places with regular nitrogen, $5 a tire is about the most you...

Uhm, like, it's a $1.4 million prize.

Yeah, but they're not all OMG! evil. They are merely an attempt to improve or introduce an immunity to a particular disease, so that the immune system can recognize the infecting microorganisms when and if the body is infected. They're not perfect, 'cause you can't be perfect when dealing with...

You missed the knee-slapping, belly laughing ROTFLMAOPIP kicker. Nominations for the prize had to be postmarked by February 1 -- only 12 days after Obama took office. The two best comments I've seen so far: From Michael Lipkin in Tehran, Iran: "If Obama deserves the Noble Peace Prize then...

My first set of tires I ran according to the door, 55/80. Second set I went 80/80. But the 80 up front actually changed the steering and road mating characteristics of the tires, which caused slightly excessive wear on the inner and outer edges of the tire. Next set I went back to 55/80, just...
