Been sitting in McCalla 'Bama since Friday; phone hasn't rung worth spit. Two calls yesterday for the same shipper, couldn't set the hook on either one.

I second that! Unfortunately, Capital One weaseled their way out of it. That's OK, since they lost in the end when I was forced into Ch. 7. As for calling the AR health authorities, that was a runaround too. They told me to take it up with the county; at the time, I was more interested in...

Far lane? Please define. If you mean the leftmost lane, then you are out of line. Keep right except to pass. That is the law, and it should be strictly enforced. Otherwise, you make valid points. In my opinion, the most logical speed for a van is 62-65 mph. That is a good compromise speed...

Being connected to the alternator thru an isolator. At this point, however, I shall defer to Turtle's expertise in answering your questions. He is the wizard of wattage here; I'm just a thirsty beggar telling another thirsty beggar where some water is...

Before the OP runs out to buy a house battery, he needs to know: Make sure it has the same chemistry as the starting battery. I.e., lead-acid or AGM. Mixing chemistries will shorten the life of the AGM battery significantly, because the alternator will produce the juice needed to charge the...

A happy ending that can be talked about in polite company ;)

Figured I earned the right to take a room. Eutaw, AL. Goodnight :cool:

I wanted a run and got two :D Chicago to New Holland, PA in the books; Pottstown to Alabama in the back :)

13.9 out of any straight truck is good; out of a class 8? Wow :o

Snoresville out here too. Went to ask a FedEx B unit what he thought of his new Transit, but he gave me the "Sorry no English" look. Since I don't speak Russian...

That's not saying much :p

Stupid question: what's so exciting about Elk Grove Village? One call downstate, no joy. Now at Pilot in Morris...

Oh, you're very special, don'cha know? Ja! :p Saturday night at 7, WITF, Harrisburg PA :) , another PBS station. Used to watch it a couple times when feeling nostalgic for my childhood, when I lived with my grandparents. My wife's parents watched it too, although anyone born after WW1...

Yay Knoxville! Good night's sleep and a run. Now at Pilot in Decatur, IL for the evening. Wondering if I'll get out loaded or watch the crops sprout....

In 2012 I considered buying one of those 8600 lb Penske cubes. They're single-axle. I think they weigh about 6100 empty. Add my fat arse and supplies, and you're at 6600. Leaves 2000 lb for freight. I didn't think it was worth it. You can order them new with 9900 GVW on a single axle; that's a...

John Deere? That's where my 50 cent Hell Paso load went :mad:

Overnight run, Portland PA to Corbin, Ky. Slept it off, now at J in Knoxville...

I should have phrased it differently: I missed an offer; who knows if I lost the load? Just the same, it's time to make the donuts :)

Take a shower, lose a load. Oh well, at least I'll be presentable when I get one :)

Is the massacre of 147 Christians in Kenya perspective enough? :(
