Wednesday is diffinately going to be a busy day for travel. I believe it is considered the heaviest day for air travel. For sure the highways will be busy. Add the chances for freezing rain and snow with conjested highways and it is a dangerous mix. Please be careful. Everyone on the road...

Silverdollar, if you have been trucking since 1958 then you are excused from using the "I" in denoting an interstate highway. Consider yourself grandfathered in. All others must conform to the suggestion listed above in this thread. In 1958 the ink was barely dry on the bill Ike signed to...

Some truckload carriers tout paperless logs in their recruiting ads. Declaring how much easier it is for the driver. And for safety departments it must be great. Everything is handled electronically. No envelopes to open, no logs to sort and scan. Eventually all trucks will be forced to run...

I believe Bolt is a non-union outfit.

Sorry, thought you were a Mitch Hedberg fan.

A screen name is an alais. Mike Ward; alias Mrgoodtude. Are you referring to people that register on E.O. with false names? Highway Star, now that Mitch is gone who will search for the DuFranes?

I would like to thank and congratulate Bob Worthington on his election to the Panther Driver Council. Bob will be representing the single van drivers. I met Bob once and he is very knowledgeable of the expedite industry. He has been with Panther for 5 years and prior to that with Roberts...

I heard a guy on the c.b. (so it must be true) say that he carried a U.S. Coast Guard approved flare gun. He claimed this was legal as long as it was transported in its case. Apparently this flare gun looks like a short barrel shot gun and uses 12 gauge size shells. I'm not sure what this...

RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW Asstral project? Won't that make matters worse:::::::::::::::::::

RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW Highway Star, thank you for the procto protocol. Cheri, thank you for the insider's tips. Marvin, thank you for the box. Maybe I'm becoming a bit anal about this procedure. I would like to put this all behind me butt I can't seem to.

Greg, how old is your van? I guess age is not as important as maturity level. Mileage would be a better gauge. I know I will not allow my van to join MySpace until 200,000 miles. Call me old fashioned. If you allow your van to open a MySpace account then you must do the same for your truck...

Greg, does your horn work or cut out when you turn the steering wheel a certain way? If you can't isolate the problem, a cheap, legal and simple solution is buy a spring loaded push button switch. Mount it on the dash and run new wiring.

RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW Dear MS. Jessica, I am a truck driver and have been for most of my adult life. I am currently driving a van which shows some refinement on my part. I'm not a complete social clod, but could use some pointers for an upcoming event. I have...

Louixo, If you apply Preperation H under your eyes, where do you put the vanishing cream?

RDY2GO, check out Bruno's Anteater. Go to The History Of Expediting conference and then to The History of Expediting, Trucks. I'm not sure if a wind deflector like that is still made. You could probably find one in a junkyard though. The Nosecone sugestion is also an excellent idea and is...

I'm not anti-union. I don't like the fact that organized labor tends to drive a wedge between it's members and management. Unions emerged because of managements heavy handedness. In some cases (UAW)the unions have the upper hand. The problem lies with the balance of power. There is no...

Charlotte, you didn't miss my PMS post because it was never made public. When I made the PMS crack in this thread I neglected to define PMS or at least my version of PMS. And I blame that on the fact that I had PMS at the time. Also it was coincidence that I posted after you. It was not a...

Speaking as an owner/operator I find no reason to invite a 3rd party on board. My one employee, Me, is treated fairly and has a voice in the day to day operations of my business. I value his input and consider him family. I just wish I could control his internet access. I am a former...

Charlotte, I guess it was the P.M.S. crack that set you off. For your information P.M.S. stands for Panther Meltdown Syndrome. So as a male business owner I find your post offensive. I have been suffering from P.M.S. and C.S.F. (cat scratch fever) since Thursday afternoon. I am hoping to...

Phreak, check out Tom Wait's version of Big Joe and Phantom 309.
