Virginia’s Gone Loopy (Again)… by Eric Peters by Eric Peters This state – my state – has a thing for imposing grossly disproportionate-to-the-offense...

I talked to a guy yesterday who says he runs a 1500/3000 inverter in a Chevy van. Said something about the Big 3 upgrade, said that would make it possible. I did a little research into the Big 3 upgrade, which involves replacing the puny, insufficient wiring in standard vehicle electrical...

With all the regime change going on in the world, as well as the potential economic default scenarios that actually endanger our government and way of life, perhaps it's time to ask ourselves what a better government should look like. After all, our Founding Fathers told us that it is a natural...

Federal Court Upholds DUI Jailing of Sober Man US Court of Appeals denies relief to sober Army veteran jailed for DUI. The Eleventh Circuit US Court of Appeals on Tuesday saw no problem with jailing a man for eight hours after he blew .03 on a breathalyzer -- far below the legal limit...

A streaker makes a mistake, and the guy shooting the video laughs like Muttly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKMFMgNY7Sc

:mad:I can't take it anymore.:mad: LOSE is the opposite of win or gain. LOOSE is the opposite of tight. Why can't you get that right? Why? Why? Why? And while I'm at it, it's THEIR, not THIER, and you use the article "an" when the next word starts with a vowel OR A VOWEL SOUND, as in, "AN...

This is how it should be everywhere.

If this trend of hardier winters and expanded snow zones is to continue, some changes are going to have to be made. Tulsa, f/e, just got their second deep snowstorm just as they were getting back on their feet from the first. I lived there for a couple years, and even a two inch snow will...

I like Red Roofs, other places that have no upcharge for having a dog. What motel discount packages are you using?

To do what's right, against the orders of his own government, this is a man. I love stories like this. Anybody have any more? Chiune Sugihara: The Life of a Great Man | The Art of Manliness Excerpts: In June of 1940, the Jews of Lithuania were worried. Some had just recently fled from...

Ate at a Petro last night. The open-faced meatloaf sandwich you serve is delicious. I sprinkle some seasoned salt on it, dump on a lot of Louisiana hot sauce, and it's fantastic. My problem came when I got the bill. $12.47 for that meal and iced tea is out-fricken-rageous and...

What percentage, give-or-take, is Sprinter-specific, whether or not it could actually fit in a regular CV? In other words, how much freight are CVs missing out on by not being a Sprinter?

One of my companies is a very small company that gets mentioned here occasionally. I'm sure the owner will recognize his company in this post. So I'm in the People's Republic last week--the left coast one--Ontario, to be specific, and he called me and dispatched me on a load delivering between...

Where: the Petro in El Paso, TX When: 1/25 and 1/26 Me: The guy from the CV, walking the prettiest dachshund in the history of the world You: The guy in the Sprinter with the lab or lab mix (?--just guessing) with the EO bumper sticker. Our dogs had a couple verbal unpleasantries. After I saw...

I recently found out that TA/Petro limits customers to 2 frequent fueler rewards per day. Was on a long trip and fueled at TA several times that day and later wondered where my shower credits were. Turns out that I had gotten all to which I was entitled, given the 2 points loads per day...

Just accepted a load from the LA area to a small town in central Utah. Right after I told him to place the bid, I thought, "Oh, crap, I shouldn't have taken that one." Just my luck, we win the bid, after losing out on two good loads that would have taken me back to civilization. To get...

This time of year, weather plays a big role in choosing whether or not to take a load to a given place. Being with small carriers, we don't have a Qualcomm (Side note: why do so many people insist on pronouncing it "quail-com?"); I get my bid offers over the phone, and one of my companies is...
