There you have it, folks. No need to go through me with your subscription questions. Contact our subscription manager direct. :)

That's right. You are.

Thank you, guido for your kind words but I want everyone to know that this man came up with his own solution and found his own way out (such as it is, and at least for now). We met him by passing by his truck in a truck stop. At that moment, he had been waiting for freight for a long time, he...

No He did not ask for help here. I asked for ideas. Actionable ideas were passed on to him and I thank again the people who provided helpful ideas.

Pay attention, Greg. The man did find a way out. He secured a loan from a relative and got free of a lease that restricted him before. After running a truck for two years (and being in the business longer than that, but I do not know that part of his story), he now has a paid-for house and clear...

You do not know the terms of his lease, which, as I said was not a friendly one. The loan he received from a relative frees him from the lease and allows him to either keep running or sell the truck when he receives clear title. The loan gives him options he did not have before.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you cannot be in two places at once. If you take a trucking job because it is better than welfare, the job will take you away from home where you could otherwise be looking for work or developing other opportunities. For those who may be considering it, if...

A friend of mine arrived last night and is buddies with a couple of exhibitors. His buddies have been told by show officials to feel free to expand their booths to take up more space. Many of the outside exhibits have been moved inside to take up space. The report received from my friend who...

Now that you are in better spirits, may I ask something unrelated? What's up with that avatar picture you have of Jesus holding a rifle? I have always wondered about that.

Know that you are going to a BIG show. If you cannot be there the whole time, plan your visit carefully. There is more to see than there is time to see it.

The driver found a family member to loan him the money to complete a buyout offer the lease holder made in writing. It appears that this driver will soon come to own the truck free and clear. He will be an owner-operator with a personal loan from a relative to pay off under friendlier terms...

While you are at it, guido, could we get you to tighten up all those toilet seats that are mounted loose on the toilets?

You all are making it difficult for those of us who will not be there. Now let's see, we deliver tomorrow afternoon, 564 miles from the truck show, the Thur-Sat Louisville forecast is for upper 50's and lower 60's temps under clear or partly cloudy skies ....:( Take lots of pictures, please!

Diane and I have found camping stores like REI, Gander Mountain and Cabela's to be good sources for small rugged bottles, toiletry bags and other such items. These products are made for backpack, canoe and wildneress use. They are the real deal. Stuff sold at Camping World for RV campers is lame...

I checked with contracter coordinators today about changes in the Home Run program. The only significant change is the publication of the broker list on the Extranet. Otherwise the program is pretty much the same as before. It is designed to help contractors get home after being out on the road...

The Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) starts tomorrow in Louisville, KY. Diane and I won't be there as we are nowhere close. This is a different kind of year for the truck show with the recession and all. Peterbilt and Kenworth will not be exhibiting this year. Other important exhibitors...

We have an Arvin Meritor Freedomline 12 speed and like it. It seems that, regardless of brand, the newer the auto-shift transmission is, the less clunky and more responsive it is. There have been a couple times when the transmission will only operate in manual mode. That happens when a sensor...

Obviously, there's more to the story. I am not the one that got the dog pregnant. :)

Yes I can. Diane and once I had a long visit and coffee with this team at the Petro in Carlisle, PA. Watching as an outsider the thread where bernieh48 and others are currently active, I must confess to a certain amount of confusion about her not being taken at her word. Notwithstanding the...
