    Quite possible. 2 weeks ago I was dispatched out before I even got here, but right now there is a more than ample supply of trucks here. That's O.K., I'll take the weather...

    Thread chatter, ‘The Magnificent Seven’

    I voted the common sense choice, which is, of course, vague. My common sense tells me that if pickle availability and delivery isn't the thread topic, it should be done via PM. Others might say that common courtesy would be to let those with a cucumber on their backs have it.

    Yeah, this cold wave is pretty tough. I actually had to fire up the gen this morning to warm up the sleeper before I got out of bed here in Laredo. According to Weatherbug, it's not even gonna hit 70 today! I guess I'll just have to hunker down and tough it out.

    ATTENTION O/O driver warning

    Simply saying whether or not you'd rehire someone isn't a requirement of law, it's become the CYA way for former employers to stay out of defamation suits. If a guy's an incapable moron, there's no law stopping someone from saying so, just the desire not to deal with a lawsuit. Just saying you...

    Consumer Reports Cell-Service Ratings: AT&T is the Worst Carrier

    That's part of the reason I have 2 phones, one personal, one dedicated to C&M. The other is that the "where are ya, what'cha doin'" calls in the middle of the night really got out of hand for a while. When I need sleep, the personal phone gets shut off. Then, Verizon bought Alltel and I became...

    Consumer Reports Cell-Service Ratings: AT&T is the Worst Carrier

    Based on my experience with the friends I have with AT&T, they seem to have gotten better. The calls don't drop nearly as much as they did a couple of years ago. While Verizon isn't perfect, I'm very happy with them. I think they'd be a good choice for you Leo.

    I wonder if he has to do even more when the weather's good? That's a lot of inspections. Good job on the no violations, you guys are getting paid well for that. Color me envious...

    The most i ever do is around 10 and that's really, really rare. I have to be beyond ragged out. 6 to 8 is normal for me.

    The best vacuum cleaner for the truck is?

    I've got a cordless Black & Decker. Works very well. It's the hand held "dust buster" style.

    For an after dinner drink, I'd suggest a Golden Cadillac. 1oz. Galiano 2 oz. white creme de cocoa 1 oz. light cream Combine ingredients with 1/2 cup of ice. Blend at low speed for 10 seconds. Strain into the fanciest glass ya got and enjoy. Ice cream can be substituted for the cream and ice...

    Naming Bad Fleet Owners

    There's just no need to "say it out loud". Most of the time, when someone posts a bad experience, they'll say that anyone that wants to know who the bad owner is can PM for the info. Why is anything more than that needed?

    Per Diem for Van Drivers

    I read the same thing, but my CPA said to take the full percentage. He's a "play by the rules" kind of guy, so he must have felt that we'd be O.K. with it. That's also in line with "hear say" stories I've heard on the subject.

    Dropped at VW in Chattanooga this morning. If nothing happens by this afternoon I'll probably head down to Atlanta. Falligator, maybe it's time to switch careers instead of companies. All those folks doing well at L1, but it just doesn't seem to work for you...
