    Considering new van, thoughts?

    Do you have any idea what the curb weight is on something like this? What you gain in volume capacity, you lose in weight capacity. The two extra tires and wheels (spare tire?) combined with the large box will greatly reduce your weight capacity. The 96" box will have a huge impact on your...

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    Common courtesy works both ways. Common courtesy dictates that you do not ask someone to remove your trash.

    Caffee's Cascadia

    The tattoo only keeps customers at bay. It has little effect on a pair of uniformed truckers with a ferocious guard dog.

    Caffee's Cascadia

    Linda, I wish you would have added a little smiley face thing at the end of that statement. Other E.O. members have expressed interest in meeting me with the sole intent of doing me harm. Do you guys want to beat me up too?

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    I believe this is the whole point of the post! The truck was not empty and ready to reload with debris in it. After you unpacked the freight what did you do with the debris?

    Occ

    It will change in accordance with the amount of money needed for the deadhead fund. The change will be communicated via your weekly settlement sheet. You will notice an increase in the occupational deduction and a decrease in your f.s.c. How else could the deadhead mileage be funded? Oh, I...

    Caffee's Cascadia

    Caffcadia, has a nice ring to it! Linda, I was in your neighborhood yesterday. Tried to take an afternoon nap at the Wally World in Troy but got interrupted with a load picking up in Edwardsville. Enjoy your new ride!

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    Phil, I've asked before that you preface your humorous posts with a "humor warning". I saw the asterisk, thought it was for a quote from the WG manual and got totally sucked in. If I ever see you I will snub you. Uh, I'm not WG. I'm not even FedEx. If we should ever cross paths, you snub me...

    Considering new van, thoughts?

    The 96" width is only available on the DRW and will probably be over 10,000 gvwr. Are you cool with that?

    Question About Depreciation and Taxes

    Phil, next time you see Joe and Jane, please explain to them that it is their money they are getting back in the form of a refund. I worked with intelligent people, well most of them, and every year they would brag about the large refund checks coming their way.

    If you die away from home.

    I can't afford to be made into a diamond. My body will be cremated and the ashes formed under high pressure into a wheel chock.

    name a city town or village with a funny name you have been too

    Remus, Michigan. Remus in and of itself is not LOL funny. But, coupled with it's brotherly city Romulus, 150 miles to the southeast, it is mildly amusing. Also there is a Rome Center in Michigan. I'm not sure what, if any significance this has.

    Obama sets out energy future for less dependency on oil

    Yeah, ever since those crazy commie chinks got a taste of capitalism they don't care about anything other than making a yen. What this country needs is red blooded, environmentally responsible, all-American companies like B.P., Shell and Citgo extracting our precious oil.

    House votes to kill Home Affordable program

    "The absence of any program leaves people worse off," said Representative Barney Frank, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee. That is the very mindset that is dragging this country down and allowing the government to continue to grow and control more and more of our...

    Has another load dry run. Got another F.O. Once again I'm number 6 with 5 F.O.'s ahead of me. Oh well. $100 for a total of about 6 miles driving.

    Passport Question

    I believe the card works for the Caribbean and Mexico, as well as Canada. My carrier apparently would not accept my passport number as proof that I have a passport. They wanted me to fax copies of my passport as proof. I declined and was never offered another Canadian load. Since then my...
