That's like asking "which carrier is best?" The answer to your question depends on the specific medication involved. Like painkillers, it's a large group, and there's a bit of difference between Tylenol & OxyContin.... In your shoes, I'd research the specific antidepressant being used, so...

And JJ, this is where you step up & turn off the spellcheck - it's "Git er done" lol. (Just doesn't have the same effect when you spell correctly!) :P

I am almost always antiwar, believing there are few instances in which war is justified. But I know it wasn't the soldiers who decided to go to war - they are honorable people, risking their lives to fulfill their duty to our country. I appreciate that, and I too, thank the soldiers that I see...

Broom, it says the 2 owners of the company that sells the little green pill are in court to defend their claims that the pills, made of napthalene, (mothballs' main ingredient), increase fuel mileage by 25%. The state of Texas, (or Bexar County, not sure which), says the pills are toxic...

Leo, that's not funny - I'm starting to think the shippers probably have enough political clout to convince the DOT that it would be ok if we got our sleep break in a vertical position!:o

Laura, From one "Grace" to another - welcome back, & I'm glad it wasn't any worse! (I once wiped out both my knees, falling down the steps, carrying a basket of laundry - you'd think, after 10 years, I'd remember to watch for the dog, who loved to lay in the middle of the steps, & never, ever...

Like Moot, I make it home for the holidays - not so much because I really want to, (only Christmas is important, for me), but because I drive solo, in a van, & live in a good area for freight. I am home now, but would leave in a heartbeat for a load, if a decent one came up. I really admire...

RE: Returning to the topic RE: Idling Is Soooo Ove It's just human nature to want to retaliate, when someon's rudeness wakes you up, and personally, I liked Broom's solution better than Rich's, (it's ok Rich - I should have been up already, anyway) but I don't actually do it, anymore than I...

That's good to know, as apparently some shippers & carriers don't seem to know it...I'd much rather take the dry run, than the risk.

The tattoos may be up to the minute, (yukk!), but the implants are used medically, when more skin is required for grafting, like over burn tissue, than a person can spare. So every implant may not be what it looks like...(But I'd be willing to bet that some of those people are exactly what they...

If it works, I'd like one by the lake. If it doesn't work out, can I have the llama? :D

An escrow account is something an owner is entitled to insist on, but if the purpose of the money withheld isn't clear to the driver, (do they not have a contract? Did they not read the contract?), then the driver needs to be a little more inquisitive, sounds like. :o

Can an inhalation hazard be hauled in a van with a solid bulkhead wall? Or does that make no difference?

I found this chart in USA Today last week, & have found it to be helpful when running through several states, but I can't get it to attach here, so if anyone would like a copy emailed, send me a pm, please. (Include directions on how to attach files, if you'd like to, as well, lol) I've already...

Aaah, the joys of parenthood!:o I'll bet that ATeam is considering the decision not to have children to be a very good one!

Welcome, Truck Monkey!(I like the silly name):D I am a van o/o, not looking for a codriver, but will try to help clarify things for you. You can drive solo in any size unit, with a CDL A, the choice is yours - but you didn't mention whether you have Hazmat endorsement, which some carriers...

And that's one of the reasons we keep tuning in to "As the (expediters) Wheels Turn" - good old fashioned American debate! :7 Teehee :7

Terry: These guys are known for enjoying challenges, so I think if they decide to trick a van, it oughtta be a Dodge :P And I just happen to know where they can find one, lol ;)

And if all that isn't persuasive enough: don't forget that drivers can occasionally need repair too - I got sick a few months ago, had to go to a "doc in the box" out of state, didn't drive for almost 2 weeks, had to go to a local doctor when I got home, because I hadn't got better, and it ended...
