Huh?? The question Phil asked was why you feel that wallpapering the forum with duplicate posts about your situation, or even posting it just once for that matter, will help. Isn't discussing it with dispatch enough?

I got 160k to close to 200k out of Good Year Wranglers on my van. I'm sitting in St. Augustine, Fl. after a very frustrating dry run yesterday. 1300+ miles to Laredo. Grrrr...

You got that right! That dispatch office must have lit right up when this thread was started. Let's see if it'll work for me... O.K. Headquarters... I went postal... the mail will be delivered in West Palm Beach, where's my reward? I guess I'm not that great at IRTisms.

Idle Aire is just ridiculously expensive. It makes way more sense to me to have my "idle air" with me everywhere I go.

Am I missing something? The shipper should simply order the right size vehicle. If the call to the first choice carrier can't get it done, go down the list. I've been involved in these deals as well, seems to happen in automotive quite a bit. A less than scrupulous broker/carrier can easily take...

Hot tube? Please Layout, this a family forum.

A couple of years ago the switch on the brake pedal that disengages the cruise went bad on my truck. I was approaching a congested area when it happened, so I just turned the cruise off. Not a big deal. I wouldn't have wanted to discover the problem in a construction zone.

Many happy returns Ark!

Trust me, you're still pretty much a techy geek.;)

The OP just doesn't make sense to me. He says the guy gives tickets, then he says he collects fines from multiple states. I've never heard of someone that does both those things.

Could you tell us a bit more about him? I've never heard of him. When you get a ticket, you send the fine to the jurisdiction where you got the ticket. Why would someone give this guy money?

I just give them a flat no, with no qualifying story. If they think I'm a cold hearted *******? All the better... I've been approached pretty much everywhere. The only repeat offender I can recall is a guy at the J in Benton Harbor. He needs a little gas money to get to Ann Arbor.

Ernie was the definition of "class act". Fare Thee well...

A while back The Onion was reporting that Dee is now willing to take it.

A cargo van hauling Hazmat has to log that trip.

I'm getting that stuff with my Garmin 465. It'll send me down restricted roads, sometimes show restrictions that don't exist...

I use a day planner/calender to keep track of per diem days. I use envelopes twice a month to keep a total of expenditures, days out and miles on the truck. I'm a recent convert to DDL on the 'puter for my logs and I really like it.

I'm feelin' the love just wash around me! I thought it was good to see you, but if you're just gonna whine...

Seeing the beauty of this great country is a great perk of this biz. I would never run just for fuel money to do it. Ever. That's the part I take issue with. When shippers get a taste of shipping their freight that cheap, they think it should always be so. Yeah, it goes on. I know there's...

And they just f--- it up for the rest of us, don't they?
