    Pelicn, I missed the original QC announcement, must have been OOS. Thanks for clearing that up. I got a bit paranoid when that message showed up a second time. Then I found it in my e-mail. Ooooh, scary potatoes!

    I never saw one until last week. Then every load I accepted came with the QC and e-mail version.

    Best tear in your beer song?

    A couple by Tom Waits come to mind: "Warm Beer and Cold women" and "Pasties and A G-String". How about Frank Zappa's "Titties and Beer". I guess none of these songs are real tear jerkers, but they do have the word beer in the title or in the lyric body.

    how do you stay awake?

    I use many of or some variation of the above techniques. No matter when I am dispatched, I am usually good for the first 400 miles. If the pick up is late in the evening, more than a 600 mile run and I have not sleep much that day or delivered late that morning, I will turn the load down. For...

    cooler question

    http://www.roadtrucker.com/koolatron/koolatron-12-volt-coolers.html I bought a thin Kooltron cooler to go with my 12 volt Coleman. Road Trucker had the best price. Are you in a van? I run both my coolers off 2 auxiliary batteries. If you run a cooler off your starting battery, don't run it...

    Joining the Expediting Industry....

    Greetings hp and tp. welcome to E.O. If you are serious about buying a truck in the future, then I think the 60/40 split should be considered. By paying for the fuel, you will be better prepared to become Owner/Operators. Also keep track of all expenses as if the truck was yours. You will...

    I liked Highway Star's interpretation better than the real definition. But this forum is definitely thought provoking! And humorous!!!! Terry, glad to see you got a real life in expediting instead of lighthouses. Just kidding. Have you ever toured Split Rock lighthouse on the north shore of...

    No, We're Not At All Shocked!!

    This thread is a great example of why we don't need an "OFF TOPIC" forum. Terry's response forced me to look up the word Pharologist. It also illustrated how the swine brings home the bacon. Highway Star's response had me doing the rolling on the floor thing. I learned and I laughed all for...

    Am I The Only One???

    Excellent idea Phil! First, all of the current moderators must go. That group is way too moderate. They don't know a tropical topic from a topical tropic! We need a moderator who can take charge. Someone with vision and a plan. A person that is willing and even likes to take control of...
