    That consignee is 2 miles from my house, Dennis. They used to be the largest employer in the county, but recently eliminated most of their 2nd shift. I'm fairly certain we're talking about the same place.

    An Expedite Upset in the Making?

    Big whup is right. "Analyses are solely the work of the authors and have not been edited or endorsed by GLG." How do we know that some stoolie at either of the companies didn't write the piece? Real credible. NEXT!

    Way to go, Falligator! I've been to that J four times in the last 6 weeks, and it looks like just another boring midwest town. Now we have something to do! Thank you!

    How is everyone doing?

    May sucked out loud for us. We were driving an owner's truck, and the runs just weren't there. I believe the better part of the month was just wrong place, wrong time. Bought our truck on 6/3, in service 6/5, and have been going like gangbusters ever since. Got laid over in Toronto last week...

    Michigan's Adventure is 2 miles from the house. Did you know that place started it's life as Deer Park, a petting zoo? The guy who started it just kept adding rides year after year (he used to live in the house between the regular and water parks. He sold out to Cedar Fair (owns Cedar Point in...

    Decent place to buy batteries?

    I ended up buying two of them at Tractor Supply in St. Marys, PA. They're made by Exide. Not sure if that was a good choice or not. I paid $85 each. Thanks for everyone's help. I'll definitely post further if I have any problems.

    Easy to be confused by my post, bazillion j's. I am too, and that's why I post that way. I kid. Some clarifications: Yep. Needed a jump on the 'new' vehicle. Seller made me fully aware, and is splitting cost with me. That's why I made a post asking about decent battery places. I refuse to...

    Left prior owners on 5/30, bought 'new' truck ('05) on Wednesday, meeting seller at FECC. Wife broke down with van following me on OH turnpike, and I didn't notice her missing for 20 miles. Long ride home didn't include a stop at the IRP office to transfer title and get apportioned plate, so we...

    Decent place to buy batteries?

    My frugal self cannot come to grips with paying what I think will be high prices for batteries through Freightliner. Anyone have reasonably-priced chain store recommendations for 2 batteries?

    fast card.....why??

    We've had it both ways. Usually, the Canadians are nicer though. Wife is Puerto Rican and was detained in late 2006 entering the US from Nuevo Laredo. Appears as if they wanted to call her a Cuban that day. I almost went to jail as well. Seems as if serving your military and state...

    National Call-to-Action

    I'll get it for ya, Moot. Read his handle, folks. Moot's from Minnesota. There is currently only one Senator there. The Minnesota Supreme Court is supposed to rule on the November 2008 election results next month. Correct him all you want. Moot's correct.

    battle creek bridge collapse

    Good post, Jack. I went through there night before last, westbound. Exactly one detour sign, and it took you to M-66 north. I must have been 10 miles north of town when I finally pulled over (behind 3 TT's doing the same). A deputy sheriff knocked on my door while I was map reading, and gave...

    Canada Canada Holiday Monday

    The Puerto Rican and I are coming to your house, pjjj. We're in Mississauga now, and I need to air a complaint about the bandwidth I'm liberating from a nearby motel. Signal very weak. Please tell me yours is better. It's Victoria day, right?

    Thanks, Jack. Not big into racing, but appreciate the info anyhow. If we don't get loaded today, will make the dh to western NY to visit sister......yet again. Thought we were doing good getting loaded 4 hours after our Monday morning delivery. One stinkin' run this week. We are, however...

    sign of looking up ???

    On a serious note, I spent a few days at that TA over the last 2 weeks, and noticed (and wondered) the very same thing. However, when I see that there were 17 straight trucks checked in between the two adjacent cities, I surmised that the pay for parking thing might have been the issue...

    Gripping...

    Happened to me just the other day. Arrived one hour early for pickup at a large company that makes adhesive tape and sticky notes (you do the math). "Nope....we don't ever use you guys." Come to find out, is was a 'blind' load that we grabbed off a load board from a company that is...
