Huh? Why would they pay taxes twice?

You're going to get criticism now and after. Nature of the beast. Not sure I'd be "putting myself out there" like that. "But Mr. Madsen, I followed your book to the letter, and I still failed. I borrowed all of Aunt Mildred's nest egg, and now the bank took it all." The finger of blame (and...

When Myrian and I went through our bovine collision last October (while we were carrying a hazmat load), we fully expected to hear the question if the freight was okay. We were pleasantly surprised when the first question out of both the dispatcher and the safety person's mouths were inquiring...

I've been corrected. DS=short runs, usually less than 300 miles, then authorized for home.

Dedicated run, I believe.

Nice catch, Rich. :) Now back to my plate of arroz con gandules.

Mine is seldom updated, but more geared these days to the 1st and 2nd graders that we participate in Trucker Buddy with. www.ajandmyrian.blog.com Our kids (and we) are on Spring Break right now. I'll probably update this weekend with the wonderful things we get to do in springtime in my...

Call Midway Ford in Kansas City, Mo., and ask for heavy truck service. There is a bulletin board just outside the customer entry door to the service department. The only thing you'll find there is the TSB that regards the installation of a check valve between the radiator and the coolant bottle...

Who's Barb?

Jeez, dude. Hope your day gets better, but that was funny. A few weeks ago, while fueling at the "J" in SLC, I asked the girl behind the counter if the pizza was cheaper because it looked like shoe leather. Another guy (on my side of the counter), said, "yes, it's free after it sits out that...

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! That was wonderfully said, Gary.

....or just too many that most recruiters can answer honestly.

Just saw live images in Texas, and saw a Panther T/T get sucked up like it was a Kleenex. Image was blurry, and I couldn't make it out whether or not it was on the ground. There were several trucks lined up, almost like they were set on rail cars. Way too blurry to make out, but the Cat logo...

You're waiting. On the plus side, it's usually around 2 weeks.

There will certainly be a ton of unbranded WG trucks. Several of them in the ES fleet, and there are at least 2 5-vehicle fleet owners with dolled-up SST's. Those won't be re-branded unless they come up off those graphics. But back to the original query.....I'm curious as to why the long wait...

"So, you're not getting any of that 'rebranding' money either, huh?"

Amen, sistah.

I'd have done exactly as you did. Awesome that you stick up for your peeps. I got called unprofessional a few short weeks ago, by a supervisor at the Fed, after we went WAY above and beyond serving one of their customers. In my book, that is tantamount to being called a liar. I despise both...

I'm in. Working on one now. But sloooooowly.....

Certainly, in that vast book of quotes which you possess, must also be the not-so-famous, "sweet like a cupcake", no?
