FrtSha8ker, I found out about the $1.99 a month deal - when I added a home phone, which is SBC, but they wouldn't give me the lower price, because I'd signed a contract for a year on the Freedomlink. I figure $20.00 a month is cheaper than anything else I found, and I also get a discount from...

That's exactly what it is - litter on a stick! x(

Awesome! :)

I don't see the point in sealing the back & side doors - if there is no wall between driver & cargo, it isn't sealed. Unless they seal the driver's door, too, and that's going TOO far, even for Homeland Security! ;)

If it were REALLY user friendly, they'd have one-stop shopping, lol. But it is getting better. :)

The availability of parts & service for Sprinters, or more accurately, lack of same, is what made up my mind to pass them up. That's an issue that will be resolved when there are more Sprinters on the road, but we can't exactly use a loaner while waiting, so I don't see it as a great choice just...

Dhalltoyo: I thank you for the wish that I have a great holiday, and the help in achieving it by providing a few fireworks to get it started, but I have to say, with all due respect, that the error is yours. My comments, although appearing after yours, weren't directed to you - the OOIDA number...

Even if my OOIDA membership doesn't save money at the fuel pumps, I still think it's money well spent. The magazine Landline has good, useful information, and, as Leo says, they are working on our behalf, not the industry giant ATA. I think they deserve our support.

Raceman, I understand where you're coming from, but please pop in & pop off, too, whenever you feel like it. Friction isn't a bad thing - whether it creates heat, or irritation, or just makes us think, it's not gonna hurt us - & it may even help. As long as we keep it civil, we're all big...

Welcome! It's probably going to be like the old curse for you: "may you live in interesting times", but, you knew that already. And still agreed to do it, lol. Thanks - & here's hoping you enjoy it as much as we do. :D

Dreamer, & of course, the rest of the Mod Squad: I like it! Electronics is a good choice, I wouldn't have to hear my son in law the cybergenius laughing when I ask questions, lol. People who have knowledge sharing with others is a GOOD thing, a real win-win situation. And I like Unorthodox's...

Jeez, my laptop is a year old, it doesn't need a card or antenna, all I do is park behind a motel that offers Wifi, or Starbucks, Panera, etc - there are lots of websites like Netstumbler that list places with free Wifi, and get online free! I paid $20 a month for SBC's Freedomlink, which has a...

RE: Questions to ask and answers to get before acc Just like in a marriage, you try to find a division of labor that takes advantage of each partners strengths - one is good at routing, the other can back up to the dock faster, one is good at sounding professional on the phone, the other has...

There really is no substitute for experience - the more you do it, the easier it becomes, once you've found that focal point to guide you. You use a focal point to center yourself in your lane when going forward, right? [I keep the centerline of the hood on the right edge of the lane] only it's...

"Just standing & watching machines stamp out parts is amazing" - if you're not getting paid to do it, in which case it's drudgery, lol. My favorite place made what I thought were igloo shaped doghouses, when I saw them scattered outside on the grass - they turned out to be nosecones for aircraft...

I believe that CCW, like logging, or scaling, is a matter for states to decide, so obviously, there isn't any federal legislation. What is legal in one state, is not in another. Because we never know what state we may be in later in the day, the risk of carrying concealed is far greater than the...

I wouldn't think that even the dumbest driver on Earth would haul hazmat for the extra money - because Dave is right, all the safety precautions don't mean diddly when you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I do it because it's a necessary part of my job, and I cannot refuse the...

Mr Goodtude, I agree that the open discussion of ideas & opinions is a big part of what makes this site, and the USA, so great - as long as we remember to question the statement - not the person. So here's my question: if Conway bids freight at a discount to keep their drivers going, what makes...

Mr Goodtude, I agree, the open exchange of thoughts is a big part of what makes this site, [and this country] great. I'm not being a smart*** when I ask: if Conway bids freight at a discount, to keep drivers moving, how is that different from "joe schmo" company? I don't believe any company...

RE: GMC 3500 with 16' Box or a Sprinter, which is Whatever configuration you decide to go with, I'd pay more attention to where you're going to sleep - if your bed isn't comfortable, you're going to be unhappy. And when you're uncomfortable & unhappy, you don't stay out on the road as much as...
