    The trip to infinity is nothing. It's really just a glimpse into infinity. Going into a parallel universe is something completely different and unnerving. On two seperate occasions I entered an elevator and exited into a parallel universe. My only escape was to re-enter the elevator and...

    OVM: Jeez what did they think you were going to do with that beef jerky. It wasn't jerked camel was it. I can see them taking my knife. I forgot it was in my pocket, but jerky! that's going to far. Sure would have made for a nice inflight snack. You must be referring to commercial...

    Jayman,if that truck is making that run now, maybe you could do a ride along. That would give you a feel for what it will be like.

    FLD

    Jayman, sounds like a good deal. Especially if the return load is there. I used to haul pulp logs from northern Minnesota to a paper mill in Sartell, Minnesota. We had three places we loaded at. The furthest being a 550 mile round trip. We always ran empty to get loaded. Terre Haute, must be...

    FLD

    Hey Jayman: This sounds serious. Do you have something lined up? I have driven early 1990's model FLD's as a tractor. I remember one thing I didn't like was that the switches for the lights were located at the bottom of the dash on a 90 degree plane. They were hard to see. Other than that...

    Disgusting

    Once again, this is why I don't own a gun. Sorry Leo, but if I pay good money for something, I want to use it. And use it often!

    I occasionlly pulled new stainless steel tankers from the manufacturer to the railhead for shipment. The first time I latched on to a tanker that was parked in a row of other identical stainless steel tankers. As I pulled out from the row and began turning to the right I looked in my right...

    Fantastic Fan

    I have a MaxAir vent cover over my Fantastic Fan. I was cautioned about running the fan on high with the cover because of air flow restriction. I have had no problems running the Fantastic Fan on low or medium, even in the rain.

    Flying J WiFi

    About 9:00 Thursday night I purchased a Flying J 24 hour internet access card. With in five minutes I was registered, logged in and up and running. The speed of the connection couldn't compare to my highspeed cable at home, but was certainly exceptable. The first 45 minutes of on-line time...

    Just to vent a little

    That's exactly why I don't own a gun. If I did I would use it on a daily basis. I can't afford all that ammunition. In my LTL days pulling doubles I would often get a four wheeler hanging in the left lane at the end of my rear trailer. Their headlights in my mirror and leaving me no out...

    Squalid conditions for wounded vets

    Some of the problems at Walter Reed and other V.A. hospitals may be due to downsizing of the military during the 1990's. During times of peace there are fewer wounded and injured soldiers. Some V.A. hospitals may have mothballed certain units due to lack of demand. With the war in Iraq these...

    BULLY PULPIT

    Thank you Louixo for your humorous, entertaining and accurate reply. Part of what I enjoy about this site is the unpredictable path a post may take. I realize it can be furstrating for a person who posts a specific question and gets 20 replies, none of which are germane to the original post...
