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

That's what I told the clerk and the other driver, but both say that's not the case now. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out like the TA program--nobody knows how it really is, even the clerks, and they don't particularly care.

Ever stop at a motel that made you go, "Are you kidding? How are you still in business?" I have a couple in mind. One, the Motel 6 in Terre Haute, IN. Spent a month there one week while the transmission was being rebuilt. Bugs...general filth...the steep decline in my instinct of...

I just called up there to see, and they're going for $59.95 now, but that's this week. I don't remember what those particular rooms went for when I was up there. There may have been some event going on. And I also eliminated a few that had horrendous reviews. Some reviews said their stuff...

Also, keep in mind that, with the irregular hours expediters keep, they had no way of knowing that you might be sleeping then, or if you would be sleeping at 3:40 PM. The four days out, though, that's another matter...

I was just at the Hook in...crap, where was it?...Resaca, GA, and they're in the middle of the remodel. I gassed up and bought some various and sundries, and the guy asks if I have a card. I gave it to him and said, "For now, but not much longer." He says, "You'll be able to transfer over to...

That's something I've been wondering...anybody have any estimate of how many expediter CVs there are on the road? And if they attract more business than just gasoline, how's that affect the equation? Sure, it might not be worth it to give away a shower for a couple 15 gallon fills, but once...

I tell you, some of these motels must think they're national treasures. I was in Fargo ND a couple weeks ago, looking for a motel for a night because it was in the mid 90s and I was tired of burning fuel and not even keeping that cool doing it. I called around, and pretty much every room up...

Being signed on to only one company (soon to change), I don't have knowledge of how other companies operate. I know some have sliding rates, but don't the smaller companies sign on a van for .xx and that's the rate? That's how it is for my company. I've only hauled one load at anything less...

I'm guessing they're talking about CVs, so not DOT# involved.

Reminds me of a gun rights battle in a town I used to live in. There had been a shooting between two carloads of miscreants, both of which pointed the finger at the other and said, "They started it. We were just defending ourselves." In response, the mayor concocted a bill that would outlaw...

That always works for me when the Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door.

The United States by every measure is hanging on by a thread to its First World status. Saddled by debt, engaged in wars on multiple fronts with a rising police state at home, declining economic productivity, and wild currency fluctuations all threaten America's future. The general...

The writer is an economist. Eight Unbreakable Rules for Hard-Core Tea Party Activists (or Any Other Special-Interest Coalition) Gary North Aug. 16, 2010 I joined the conservative movement in 1956 when I joined Fred Schwarz's...

You know, Chef, after having googled and read a page about this revocation and rescission, I find that they use a lot of terminology usually used by people we would call "looney tunes." I'd love to know how this strategy works out for you.

Carter was merely an incompetent boob who rose way above his competency. Obama is pure evil.

1. Plenty of parking 2. Wi-fi 3. clean bathrooms and showers 4. full service restaurants where they cook instead of just warming something up, in which you eat with a real knife and fork 5. TV lounges 6. not important to me anymore, but I used to care about laundromats inside 7. shower program...

No, wait a minute. So you've got your CDL, and I've always had my physical done by a carrier before starting work. But what if I used to drive a TT, so I had a physical then, then went into a cargo van, then the previous physical expires... Since I'm not driving a compliant vehicle, I...

My first DOT physical ever...the doctor was clearly a company doctor. He was going to shine that light into my ears and nose and wherever else, but forgot it in the other room. "Oh, well..." he said, and pencil-whipped it. I don't know if they've been standardized since this, but I've had...

In one of the trucker mags, I read about a guy who had to get recertified because of a shoulder injury. The PA had him disrobe completely and stand in the middle of the room with his arms out, and then the PA starts examining toward the south. The driver says, "'Scuse me, but my shoulder is up...
