    Miffed at .70 offer

    I'm not inclined to take reduced rate loads. Shorter ones, maybe, depending on deadhead and where it's going, but on the longer ones, 500, 600, 700 miles or more, the reduced rate becomes a much bigger hit to have to absorb. Most of these reduced rate loads are NMLI loads. I do know that...

    How many Hours a day?

    I was at home still OOS, but was getting ready to go back in when I got a call. I'm now sitting at a shipper in western KY. They're still building the parts. Once they get 'em built, they're bound for St Thomas. I was hoping they meant St Thomas, US Virgin Islands, but no such luck.

    Front License Plate?

    He's either pulling your leg, jerkin' yer chain, or he's messin' with ya. The location of a state-issued license plate is determined and enforced by the state which issued the plate, not the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. I won't even comment on the 4500 GVW commercial vehicle...

    50 percent hike in gas tax

    Well, after doing the research and taking a close look at the chart of all the previous presidents and their experience versus how they performed in office, I'm not concerned about Obama's experience level. There's obviously something other than experience required in order to be a good...

    weather alert!

    Yeah, I'm in western KY and it's a lot of fun. The driveway and walkway aren't iced over, but anything elevated is, like the trees, fences and the patio deck. And I'm sure the bridges. Stepped out the kitchen door onto the patio and did a Wayne Gretzky all the way across the patio. I was grace...

    board position question

    Dontcha love it? All those people who got laid off from the Detroit auto plants, well, they're all expediters now, 'cause anybody can drive a banned van, and they're all just sitting at home, In-Service, turning down load after load swapping out in Romulus going to Windsor.

    50 percent hike in gas tax

    I'm glad you didn'[t take offense to the cartoon, as it was pure humor, nothing more. As for Obama's experience, or complete lack thereof, history has shown that executive and military experience means exactly squat when it comes to how well a president performs.

    Downy Wrinkle Release

    "You just spray it on your clothes and smooth out the wrinkles with your hands. It takes about 10 min to dry and the wrinkles are practically gone!" They've got this new thing out now, called a steam iron. You spray the steam from the iron on the clothes and then smooth out the wrinkles with...

    Pelosi wants to cut the Repubs of at the knee's

    You know what the difference is between Gingrich's rules and in Pelosi re-writing them? Nothing. In the House, a simple majority rules, and whoever has the majority can write the rules in any way they see fit. Gingrich and the Republicans did it, but that certainly wasn't the first time that it...

    When do you Sleep/

    Well, as the only cure for sleepy is sleep, I sleep when I'm sleepy. If I know that I'm going to need a certain amount of sleep between picking up and delivering a load, and if the load times do not allow for me to get the rest I need, I'll turn the load down. If I know I can get the required...

    board position question

    Since Detroit is where NLMI is located, can you imagine the numbers that Detroit would show? Panther does probably 35% or so NLMI. That can mean hundreds of loads per day off the Detroit board. The load counts on the boards come from the shipper location, not the paying party's location...

    Backhauls

    And that's the response from someone who failed to use common sense and instead made an uninformed assumption. Fact is, I have called, several times, beginning back in early December when i noticed for the first time that the password no longer worked. In all, seven phone calls have been made...

    Batteries and Crankinig Amps

    I was afraid of that. 0.7v to 1.0v at the isolator, and then more voltage loss in the cable and connections before it finally gets back to the batteries, and yeah, 12.7, 12.8, sometimes as much at 13 volts is pretty much what I figured. 13.2 volts is considered a minimum charging voltage...

    How long?

    In a Sprinter, it's pretty much impossible to lock the thing from outside, without using a key, if there's a key in the ignition, engine running or not. The remote doesn't work, either, if there's a key in the ignition. As for breaking into a truck, yeah, that's pretty easy. And for a...

    50 percent hike in gas tax

    I link to the Bill would have been fine. You didn't need to copy and past all that. I'd have preferred the links to the Bills without the commentary from a radical anti-abortionist. In the first article, there are at least two "reasons" cited by Ms Stanek (who I am familiar with) where the...

    Who is to say that this one simple question isn't just the very beginning of a long and exhaustive investigation into getting one's own authority? I mean, ya gotta start somewhere. If you're interested in finding out about how to get your own authority, I dunno, but I gotta figure such a simple...
