OVM, yeah, most GPS units will tell you to exit right or left. They'll also tell you to "Keep Right" or "Keep Left", when all that really means is "stay on the road you are on and don't take the next exit". Usually does that when major roads or Interstates split off of the road you're on. The...

#4, leave yourself an out. That's my mantra. All other things considered, you've got to have a place to go. The middle lane of three is easily the worst lane to be in. There's a reason they call the left lane the Hammer Lane, the right lane the Granny Lane, and the middle lane the Dumb Βastard...

WD-40 will never touch my truck. It's Dupont Teflon, or Dupont White Lithium Grease with Teflon for most things.

Yeah, I'm with Dave on this one. It used to be that FSC helped defray the cost of fuel, but not anymore. It's too large of an operating expense on deadhead to not factor it in to all miles. Two years ago, even a year ago, it wasn't that big a deal. Now it is. I'm in a Sprinter, so the numbers...

The Life and Times of a Modern Mississippi Delta Blues Man. A Film by Ken Burns

I think he means is it worth getting an 08 Sprinter to go with Prestige. My inclination is to say no, probably not. It's been a while since I've talked with someone I know who is an owner/operator with them, but when I last did he told me it was all NLMI freight with really low FSC, and he was...

Don't have any for Hillary, but I've got a few good ones for Obama. Can't post 'em, tho, cause then I'd be a racist instead of someone who just enjoys a good laugh. I do think it's funny (odd, telling, interesting) that it's not even the least little bit racist to compare Bush to a Monkey, but...

Well, with the voluntary flat-rate FSC program, if you aren't on it, don't expect much sympathy, or bonuses, if you don't like a load with a low FSC. You have to, on your own, see to it that when you take a load with a high FSC that it can also help cover loads with a low FSC. The flat-rate...

First, First Outs are: M - Mini E - Error (Dispatch Error) D - Dry Run Second, go to where the freight is. Dispatch will go 50 miles out to look who is available, regardless of what board they are on, and if no one is 50 miles out, they will go 100 miles out. Third, "what are the common steps...

Attack? Sheesh, man, go to Walgreens and buy that new Skin Thickener they got out now. Nobody attacked anybody. Just because someone has a different opinion that you do doesn't mean they are attacking you. Learn what "if" and "maybe" mean, then go re-read what you quoted. Calm down, take a pill...

Is it?

Thank you very much, kind Sir. I admit that I kind of find that one pretty funny myself. :) That whole "normal" alphabet soup comment came out of nowhere. It was about as bizarre as bringing slavery into the conversation. I'm trying to stay on point, stay calm and rational, keeping emotions out...

Nope. Can't run Elite as a solo, otherwise I'd be there already. I have run some Elite loads, however, I'm sure because I was available and an Elite truck wasn't.

Panther has more than that. I know one that's still on his old .90 a mile deal. Once you sign a contract with Panther, you stay on it until you leave. They won't come along and force you to sign a new contract like some carriers will. But with Panther, all new contracts that get signed are...

My beliefs as stated in this thread are mostly statements of fact, or are my own reasoned conclusions based on history and human nature. I stand by them until someone can put forth reasoned conclusion that refute them. Your beliefs, on the other hand, while making some good points along the way...

What's confusing about my response? Broom asked for a government site, of which OOIDA is not, where Bush signed the bill into law. The site I provided is a government site that is all about when and where Bushed signed the Bill. The pertinent text of the law can be found here, #12 on the list...

Two? Yeah, at least. :rolleyes:

Not to put too fine a persnickety pedantic pointless point on it, Broom didn't ask about a site that talked about weight limits and APU's, rather, he asked for a government site where Bush signed the Bill (the one that asked the states to accept the extra weight). The government site I provided...

No. That is not what I said at all. It's a true statement, however, but I didn't make it, you did. Natural sterility is not a normal situation, and is thus, abnormal. But heterosexual behavior between two heterosexuals who cannot procreate could hardly be considered anormal behavior. Please...

Where The Hell Is Matt?
