Some hair pulling moments on the honeymoon. There ya go. :D

Yeah, like I said, some countries allow for dual citizenship, some do not, and none allow for it for all other countries. As for Homeland Security, that's one of the security issues that can arise and is handled by USCBP. You can't have a dual passport kind of thing, it's one or the other. But...

You need to get off this dual citizenship kick. A foreign citizen does NOT lose his or her citizenship when becoming a U.S. citizen. It used to be that when you became a US citizen you had to renounce your citizenship of your native country, but that hasn't been the case for a long time. An...

I don't know who penned the above article, but it's fundamentally flawed in many respects, not the least of which the reason for all this in the first place is not capitalism, but rather the Socialist ideas that everyone should be able to buy a home whether they can afford to pay the mortgage or...

I'm still trying to figure out the reason for the, "And the rest of the story is?" comment. The initial post seemed to be self-explanatory with the exception of the error on detention pay (and the gross error of illusion of perfection at Panther :) ), but this is based on a very small time-frame...

I was tempted to toss up the appropriate graphic smiley to illustrate my thoughts on things, like I did on a previous occasion similar to this one, but the last time I did that someone left me a negative comment. :rolleyes:

Anyone have any problems with the Transflo software under Vista?

Espar of Michigan in Romulus is the place to have it installed. Most any Clark Diesel and many Thermoking places can install it, or you can install it yourself, for that matter, but you really will want someone who has installed it in vans, lots of them, as many as possible, and Ray and the...

Mammary Melon - watermelon and cantaloupe pieces Motorboat to Mars - crushed Mars Bars Hooters - vanilla ice cream with jalapeño pieces Ta-Ta's - peppermint Pimple Nipple - strawberry Cha-Cha's - chocolate chunks and walnut pieces Bonbons - with a little nipple kiss on top, though. Party Pillows...

Yes, while a ceramic heater, or any electrical heater for that matter, may keep you warm when it's running all the time, because the amp draw of such a resistive heat appliance is so high, and sucks the amps out of the batteries so fast, you couldn't have enough batteries in the van to keep it...

Cobra, Tripp-Lite, Aims, Xantrex. All are good inverters. Modified sine wave inverters are cheaper, like a 2000 Watt one will run you in the $150-$200 range. A pure sine wave will run two to four times that. If you plan on running a microwave for a few minutes here and there, a 1500 Watt...

"This is the Emergency Freight Business." Not so much. Mostly it's the Exclusive Use of the Truck Business. When it's true emergency freight, the dispatcher will almost always let you know that right up front when they call. Everything else I have to say, Leo already said it. :)

When I was in high school, Driver's Education was offered in school. We had classroom training, on the road driver training. And, we also had driver simulator training, which for the early 70's was pretty high tech. We'd go into these big trailers and sit at these consoles with steering wheels...

The Air Tabs create a vortex to disrupt the flow of air to lessen the effect of reduced pressure, and thus drag. Since there isn't much of a low air pressure situation along the lines of the hood and up to the windshield, they won't deflect much.

"Conclusion: There is more driver turn over in Expediting, due to not having a good business sense or game plan." That's really the only conclusion that I disagree with. You've obviously done a lot of research, enough to know the difference between general trucking and expediting. Too many...

I thought about tossing my hat into the ring, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want me on the council. I'm not diplomatic and I have no patience for incompetence. :D I do think the Driver Council has done an amazing job under the circumstances. It's a success.

My point being, if he was just dumped, and fired, "NO excuse" is irrelevant if for a brief moment he feels he has nothing to lose and decides to take it out all on you right now. Aggressive drivers are already short-tempered by the nature of the situation, which is why they are driving...

Yeah, Portsmouth is a good spot. There's a TA down there at exit 3, Greenland, NH I think it is, couple of miles south of Portsmouth. Portland isn't bad, but Portsmouth puts you within about 75 miles of a lot of freight. I've never sat in Portsmouth for more than it takes to get some sleep and...

It seems that Atlanta, Nashville and Asheville are the hardest hit with shortages. A lot of it is people panic buying, and in some cases trying to hoard it by filling their tank plus a few other containers. The Spartanburg terminals should be getting gas on Thursday. They supply Asheville and...

I'm guessing that taking out your camera, reaching over the seat, pointing it out the back windows and taking some photos, might also fall into the 'bad choice and serious violation' if caught category. Even more so if you're caught trying to video the whole thing to show the truck's relative...
