An "open door policy" doesn't mean the carrier will open their doors so others can steal their freight. Plus, it's really hard to have more than one DOT authority on your door at a time.

"I am still amazed at the number of trucks still fueling at the "j" with the huge discount given at TA with using comdata card, why would anyone choose to fuel there...unless absolutly needed." In a van, where a 20 gallon purchase at the J gives you half a shower credit, two purchases gives you...

Just send them the link to this thread. I haven't been kicked out of a Flying J, yet, but if and when it happens, I'll question the manager about it. Flying J's press release announcing the bankruptcy filing clearly states, "In all cases, including those subsidiaries covered by the filing...

If you look at all of the solutions to Global Warming and Climate Change, they all tend to be somewhere in the neighborhood of richer countries, mainly US, redistributing wealth and the ability to exploit natural resources, to poorer countries. Follow the money, always follow the money. As for...

It used to be called Global Warming. Whoops, the Global stopped Warming. Let's call it Climate Change, because nobody lives in the Global, anyway, but everyone can relate to their Climate and nobody likes Change. Climate Change sounds scarier. Plus, that way, it's not just the hot stuff that...

Yep. Which is exactly why they will eventually need to change how they do swaps. They'll either wake up and do it on their own, or they'll be forced to by a judge. One of the things they absolutely cannot do is dictate to an independent contractor where to go or when to be there. It's called a...

In the lower right hand corner there is a section of people. Next to them is an aisle where 6 ushers stand in dark blue coats. A man in a brown winter coat joins them. At the lower left of that section is a bag lady in a brown coat pinching snuff. To her right is a man wearing a blue parka and...

You know how the car salesman goes to the back and discusses you price with the sales manager? And in reality he just went to the restroom or something? A lot of what goes on at the border, on both sides, is like that. They do certain things to provoke a reaction, and based on that reaction they...

An electron microscope image of a nerve cluster. Kewl!

I've gone to Shreveport specifically because it's a black hole and want to get some rest. But, I never get rest there, I get loads, instead. Probably because everybody keeps fleeing Shreveport. The other day I delivered in Garland and found myself #9 on a 3-a-day board. Instead of going to the...

Whenever possible I try to talk to the person I need to talk to, rather than have Driver Relations send it to Research. Those people rely on e-mail for nearly everything, but have you seen the notes that get sent to Research? It's like they were talking to a different person other than me about...

Holy crap! Level 1 is pretty easy. Level 2 requires some time. I got to level 3 and just started laughing.

What got me confused is when the person in Driver Relations quite authoritatively confirmed it to me that if you have a First Out and the board you are on has an average above zero, then you lose the First Out if you change boards. She said that you must do a Macro 32 to have it showing on the...

Quoted text must begin with the word "quote" in brackets, and end with a bracket, slash, quote and bracket. The brackets and the word quote tells the software what to quote. Everything between the beginning and ending brackets (the ending one being the one with the slash) gets quoted...

ON, MI, IN, IL, WI, MN, ND, SD, MT, SK, AB, finally got a load to NE, then to Dallas and now I'm in Houston. They have green grass down here. Leaves on the trees, even. It's weird.

Sean Kessler, the head honcho of Driver Relations (who still hasn't answered my e-mail on this subject).

As an officer you could get away with that, but an enlisted man takes a different oath than an officer.

Movies may be pretend, but they do make you think. They may make you think of something or a situation you've never thought about before. Pretend or not, everything you see, hear and read will have an effect on how you think. It's called experience. Advertisers are well aware of this phenomena...

A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home. As she passed by the open doors, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say "Supersex." She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown at him, she said, "Supersex."He...

We can't have any ****roaches here on EO. However, penisroaches are permissible. Of course, if you dim the lights and be very, very still, if you look very close, you can see the сосkroaches scurrying about EO. shhhhhh
