Saw the same brochure. But I was at the Hook in Toledo the last week in August, and the clerk said, "Come back soon" or something like that. I told him I wouldn't be back once the gasoline shower credits were discontinued. He said that had been changed, and the 1/2 shower credit for 15.1...

How do you type out a whistling sound in letters? .70/mile (whistling sound), I dunno... that's quite low. Sounds like a lot of work for less, the opposite of "work smarter, not harder."

Haven't seen it mentioned here, but have you noticed that Pilot/Flying J is advertising both cards/both places? The 15.1 gallons still gets 1/2 shower. Have yet to try it at a Pilot.

Now what am I going to do at a Walmart? Walk around the parking lot?

Well, back when I was in a big truck, I didn't have much choice of where I parked, so I guess I wasn't too choosy. But now that I can park anywhere, the Flying Hook on I-20 doesn't look so good, especially with the restaurant downgrade. Is there a better place to hang than truckstop row along...

Seattle. Or Tacoma, or somewhere like that. I've been bugging my dispatchers about it, though I know they can't just produce one at will. It's not so bad now that the weather's cooled off a bit, but when it's over 85, I yearn for somewhere cool, where the nights get down in the 40s or at...

That's the least of their worries. Eternity approaches for all men. It is. Good. The so-called holy month. It doesn't. That's honorable. The fact is that Islam is a horrid, vile religion. It would be bad enough to be merely any other false religion, but they go beyond other false...

Used to buy the vast majority of gas there for the shower credit. No more. Like others, I'll be happy to use their men's rooms, garbage cans, and parking lots. But that's it.

I got a load 10 minutes or so after posting my question. Picked up close to Oneida going to Toledo.

Have an application in front of me to sign on with another company. It's the standard thing, previous employers and such. But they only want the last 3 years. Is that because it's not a "driving job" as in driving a compliant vehicle, or will I have to remember the previous 7 years when I get...

Delivered Sunday night (or was supposed to, they didn't open until monday morning). Had a load offer Sunday night, but couldn't take it since I couldn't get unloaded, had two more real good load bids Monday, but didn't win them. Had nary a nibble since then. I don't think anywhere around me...

I've always hated hotbunking, too. Don't know how submariners do it. One time I was in a truck made by a well-known company which took FL-70s and then put their sleeper and wiring in it. The company was known to make inferior products. I don't think I'm allowed to name them on the board...

Sounds good, except we'll all weigh 600 lbs before long.

So how'd you do THAT?

Someone said the FBI crime stats on cargo security say a truck guarded by even a little pooch is 50 times less likely to be stolen, so apparently it does make a difference.

Ok, I guess I'll confess... I'm an anti-dentite.

How do they come up with this stuff? She must come from the Michael Moore School of Journalism.

Uh, not so fast... The origin of the American slang word "doozy", meaning something excellent or powerful, is either the Duesenberg's nickname, "Duesy", or an older term (derived from earlier slang, "daisy"). Encarta.com[26] describes the origins of the term as unknown, and dictionary.com...

It's the rectal that I miss. When I was about to get out of the military, I had to get the separation physical. I'm sitting there, waiting, and the only person I see around is this hot Lieutenant walking back and forth between the rooms. "Hope she's not the one doing the examining," I...

I always read out P-R-I-N-T-E-D I-N M-A-L-A-Y-S-I-A
