That's how I feel. I don't mind some snow, but ice...that's a different story. I'm not like some of these crazy guys who go like a bat out of hell. 70 is as fast as I'll go on ice.

Truly simultaneous voice and data is network dependent. Last I heard, only the Evil Empire could do that.

Ah, I was wondering how long it would take the State-worshipers to show up. So anything less doesn't constitute a beating? So you wouldn't mind someone doing it to you, if, after all, it isn't a beating? Actually, it's called an Asp. And so the bloody mouth came from where? And you can't tell...

Like nightcreacher said, you can only control what you do. What the other guy can or can't control, well, that's going to affect you, too. That's why I'm debating staying and waiting on a load, holing up, or bugging out.

That's the situation in which I find myself now. I delivered near Charleston, SC a few hours ago, and I'm debating whether or not to bug out ahead of the mess that's rolling in tomorrow night into Monday or hole up in a motel, or what... Oh, for a crystal ball.

Oh, I did that. But it sure sucked. And sometimes, I'm wanting the info to decide if I'll zig over a different route instead of zag. So I do work with what I've got...just frustrated that I can't get more accurate info.

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...

Of varying elderly-ness. The ones about coming out of the gorge were pretty timely, and the ones about 64 between Louisville and Lexington were fairly timely, though that appeared to be very dynamic situation; we heard three different stories about it as we approached Louisville from 3...

Ok, technically, not lies, because they probably thought they were accurate when they said them. It seems it always always always always happens this way. Driving in bad weather, and trying to get south of the freeze line, which seems to be harder and harder to find in recent years (Al Gore...

Intoxicated man tells cop to shut up, cop clubs him then pepper sprays him. Video shows beating by St. Louis police officer A matter of debate of whether to step in and physically defend the victim or whether to keep taping. You save one victim from a beating one way (getting beaten and...

Powerful, as in "Order this powerful new book..." used in every ripoff get-rich program being sold.

Wonder just how fiscally conservative the incoming Republican congressmen are? We're going to find out soon. From blog.lewrockwell.com: If the Republicans Were Really Anti-Deficit… Posted by Lew Rockwell on January 2, 2011 02:05 PM …they would refuse to raise...

I posted a reply in the other thread showing that military members have the benefit of 100% of the Bill of Rights, but some are exercised slightly different in time, place, and manner. Actually, it wasn't. That was kind of my contention before I thought about it some more. But I remembered...

Greg said: Kind of like how you said the military gave up their rights? You were quite positive about that, as I recall, yet it turned out otherwise. Now, that barb having been slung, you are largely correct here, at least, on the books, which is what is going to be enforced. No argument. And...

No different than a traffic ticket, really. The cop says you made an illegal right turn or didn't come to a complete stop, the judge is going to take his word for it. That's immoral and unethical, but it's the way it works. You can go to court and fight it, just like a logbook violation, but...

Lots of people say you can't do that. I always did. There are people who sign blank checks? I mean, people not in Canada? I couldn't believe that's how we had to do it when running in Canada, but surely nobody does that down here...?

Wait, he asked for it, you said no, and he insisted? And then that's where the warrant talk came in? Now it's getting weird, when you tell him he can't have the card and he insists.

You probably didn't need to mention anything about a warrant or OOIDA. A simple No in a civil tone of voice would probably do it, if it was for the card, anyway. I don't know about the receipts, but I know as sure as I'm typing that you don't have to give them any loyalty card.

Wouldn't that be detrimental? If you show you fueled and you put it on your original card and then show the DOT your new card, you'd be giving him documentation that does NOT back up your logbook. Wouldn't it make more sense to just not give him a card? If you're going to give him a card, it...

Put another way, could your position be restated as, "It would be prudent, if you know what's good for you, to have documentation to back up your claims, otherwise you risk being put out of service on the officer's suspicion."? Or, are you saying, "It's a driver's legal responsibility to carry...
