    Mid-Atlantic Snow this weekend

    There's still no snow in Laredo, but it did get a bit dicey yesterday. It was overcast and a little breezy and for a moment I thought I might have to put on a sweater. I ended up being fine without one. Whoa! It's 80 in the sleeper, better fire up the Rigmaster for some A/C.

    I Just Received My EXPEDITE KING Card!

    Isn't this really a van only program anyway? I have the regular T/A card, and as a straight truck I see no reason to need a different one. I don't use the T/A much because so many of them are so ratty. Lots of those old, converted 76s really need to be torn down and built from the ground up. I...

    And now the Athlete of the Decade

    Wagering money when your in a position to directly influence the outcome of the game is pretty serious stuff. If you have true love for the game, why put yourself in that position? He got what he deserved, and that's not just because I think he's an arrogant pinhead.

    Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a LOL, well, I don't know how you interpreted that as everyone's happy, I can assure you that my friends aren't happy and are in a bad financial way. Why they've stayed with Landstar as long as they have is...

    Who has it tougher and why?

    Leo's got it right. The perfect example would be the difference between me and Guido. He went from a straight to a van and is happy as he can be, wishes he'd done it sooner. Now let's go 180 degrees to me. I went from a van to a straight and I'm as happy as a pig in the stuff that makes a pig...

    Newt & Pailen

    I agree with the "raw material" statement. She's clearly not ready for prime time. She's anything but Reaganesque at this point. Reagan was as comfortable in the spotlight as someone with their feet up in their favorite easy chair. Palen clearly isn't. Some time in a higher profile position...

    Lucas Oil Treatment

    I've never been a believer in oil additives, but if I were to change my mind Lucas would probably be the one. It seems to have a lot of believers. But, I'm clearly in the Piper camp. 400k is a good start on that engine and should never require an additive with proper service. My Powerstroke is...

    AT&T is how I spell FAIL!

    I'm with Verizon by way of Alltel. I'm very pleased. From time to time, but not often, I drop one changing towers. Last night I was on the phone for an hour and 15 minutes between Houston and San Anton. Not so much as a hiccup. The guy I was talking to is also with Verizon. I should add that I...

    Nuvi 465T

    From time to time my 465 has to remind me just how utterly retarded it is. My delivery was on the corner of Killam and Lamar in Laredo. It wanted me to go east on the Bullock to 59, turn around there and go back past 35 to the delivery. Really?!? I must have a defective unit.

    Should this Forum be renamed?

    It's funny this issue is being discussed now, the guy's only started 3 threads in the last 2 weeks. Having said that, I'm surprised there's anyone here who'd give any credibility to a guy who admits he has no idea if what he posts is true. Blogs as a legitimate news source? Sounds like a...

    December 2009 Location

    Did you ever have one of those days where it seems to take f o r e v e r to do anything? It started with taking most of the morning to unload, which only took 45 minutes the other day, and just went from there. So, I'm at the J waiting.

    A fond farewell

    It was a pleasure to meet you guys in El Paso. All the best in the future, and I'm sure you'll always feel good that you were there for your Dad when he needed you most.
