    So what you are saying is because of your constant inflammatory rhetoric your credibility is in question. Yea, I can live with that!

    Well Worth The Money!

    Ah, does this mean no Teamster job for me and my van? No Teamster representation? No Central States Health and Retirement Plan. No discounts to Las Vegas casinos? No...no...no... thanks a lot. You guys ruined my evening. Maybe my whole life.

    Well Worth The Money!

    Greg, how many owner/operators do you plan on starting out with? Will the Teamsters be representing their interests?

    Canada Slower traffic

    I have noticed a general slowing of traffic in the U.S. Especially in states that have a 70 or 75 m.p.h. speed limit. Even 4-wheelers are slowing down! Speed regulation through legislation and law enforcement doesn't seem to be as effective as regulation via the pocketbook.

    Chicago in the am??

    Are you leaving Rockfish at 08:00. Is that E.D.T. or C.D.T.? I-39 to I-80 will add about 15 miles to your trip. I-90 to I-290 to I-355 to I-80 is an option. Or I-90 to I-290 to I-294. That time of morning you will encounter traffic. I certainly wouldn't go through town! In fact I wouldn't...

    Freemasons exposed

    I like that! I think you're on to something there Joe. Maybe Ratwell will latch on to this, do some research and post a bunch of links. Also your typo in the following sentence cracked me up. What a difference a letter makes. I immediately had a mental picture of Chuckie. Maybe Manson is a...

    Cargo Van Tips

    Any hardware store or home store should have it. A small local hardware store will probably cut it to size for you. If not you will need a snips or nibbler to cut it. As for the Meguiar's products... Turtle I am shocked! Your species makes some excellent car care products.

    July Shut Down

    I'm shutting down on Friday for 9 days to practice the "Retirement Reaction Drill." Got to be ready if and when that day ever comes.

    Don't Leave Home Without It

    I could use fuzzy logic to make a case for my $5.99 deer alerts. In 2001 I hit a deer with my van. Tore up the left steer tire, fender, grill, bumper and radiator. Out of pocket expense was easily $2000.00. Sometime after the accident I purchased a pair of deer alert devices. Ain't...

    Cargo Van Tips

    1/4 inch galvanized hardware cloth attached with some cable ties to the back side of the grill works great for bug and rock protection. Cheap too!

    Cargo Van Exp Help please!

    My first van I put a substantial amount down and went with a 30 month loan. 6 months after buying the van my wife needed a new car. Went with a 60 month loan on that. Had I done the 60 month load on the van, I could have at least deducted the interest. Oh well. As for the zero interest...

    Oops!

    Marc, the best thing to do is to talk with representatives from different companies you are interested in. Explain the situation and offer to be tested at the company's discretion, above and beyond the random drug tests. Good luck!

    Don't Leave Home Without It

    I sure hope you fabricated that statement to bolster your GPS money saving argument. Because if you are that engrossed in a telephone conversation and frequently missing exits you are a danger to yourself and everyone sharing the road with you. No it doesn't make sense to me. I had a hard...

    Don't Leave Home Without It

    [/LIST] [/INDENT]I have nothing against GPS and plan on getting one in the near future. As mentioned, it is a tool. A tool to be used in conjunction with maps, computer programs like PCmiler, customer directions and experience. The shortest distance between two points ain't necessarily the...
