    Are those "Flatheads" OVM? The biggest flathead I have ever caught was just over 30 pounds on the Maumee River in Ohio. I have a friend who has one out of there that was over 80lbs. He is still trying to get one over 100. He had a 50 pounder in the aquarium at the Cabela's in Dundee MI. What...

    Daylight Savings Time

    Yea, We are "Stuck" in our motel room. Clean towels, hot shower. Free Breakfast. The truck is in the shop, should be fixed Monday. Just in time to get out and TRY to get used to "Daylight Stupid Time". I kinda really don't like it. The sun knows what time it is. What a shame the polititions...

    When will the bottom come?

    Un-employment has yet to hit the levels of 1982. When did this recession start? When was the first 3 consecutive months of negative growth? Much shorter than 15 months. My how they throw around numbers. We are at or slightly above the Un-employment numbers that most of Europe has for thier norm...

    economy picking up

    Yea, you may be right FlatTop, I just worry about the increased taxes on investment. Maybe invest in the drug trade or illegal guns? Anything to keep the money out of the hands of Obama and Company. Layoutshooter

    During home time, how safe is your truck?

    Wish there was a way to carry my canoe in my truck, there is no room for it though, the hot tub takes up too much space. Layoutshooter

    Like that. It would never work though. It is much better to yell at them, belittle them and assume that they are stupid and need to be "governed" to be able to slow down. Heaven forbid you explain the problems and needs and ASK them for possible solutions. Do ya think that some good ones might...

    economy picking up

    My brother works at the Ford plant in Woodhaven, Mustang plant. They have been working overtime. They did layoff some last Dec. I don't know if they have been called back yet. Things will come back on thier own, they ALWAYS do. Only the government can slow up that recovery. With punishing taxes...

    Gee, did anyone ever think about finding ways to encourage thier drivers to slow down on thier own? A most novel approach, eh?

    Is Truck Stop Customer Service Improving?

    It is up to the manager to insure that they get the best out of thier employees AND the employee SHOULD take pride in thier work, requardless of the wage. Managers need to motivate and encourage rather than force and mandate. It always worked for me when I managed people. In fact, it is easier...

    Greg334 where are you?

    I not sure about some rural areas but for sure in bigger cities bars, clubs restatraunts that were non-smoking would do gang-busters. As would those that advertised being an establishment that allows smoking. We are on the same page on this one OVM. Layoutshooter

    I kinda felt like it might be unsafe and that is my biggest objection. I also just flat out don't like it when ANY government assumes that I am either a "mental midget" or assumes that I am going to break the law. I am not a scoff-law (yet) and I can follow a speed limit all by myself. I don't...

    Greg334 where are you?

    That is exactly what I would like to see happen. I much prefere that the businesses take it onto themselfs. You would think by now that they would notice that many out there don't like to be around smoking. I don't want government to step in. We won't go into many places because of the smoke...

    Is Truck Stop Customer Service Improving?

    We have notice a slight change on a store by store basis. The Petro in Bordentown did look a bit better last week. The staff was more attentive and smiled, a little. That place needs to shut down for a few days and be steam cleaned. There is "crud" on the walls of the restaraunt that has been...

    Greg334 where are you?

    Ok, OVM, we won't discuss farts, old or new. I am for the most part against government getting in my face but I have mixed feelings about the smoking thing only because smoke does not stay in one place. My wife is alergic to cigarette smoke. She can't even sleep in a motel room that is not...

    The difference between 100kph and 105kph is not much of an acceleration. I just am worried by this. Anytime people start fooling with my ability to act or react to a situation I feel that my options are limited. I know best what I need to do. I also see no reason to limit my truck since I don't...

    Finally a carrier that works for their cut!

    We are with a big carrier and we have been staying busy. Our number of runs year to date is higher than year to date last year. We like the efforts that our carrier is putting in looking for new business. It is starting to show. Layoutshooter
