    I'm at the Atlanta Petro. Good-freakin'-bye February, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Had a fun Saturday at the Georgia Dome. The Supercross was excellent. Instead of a very expensive cab ride from the Petro, I took MARTA. What a cultural experience that was!

    Logging off duty for breaks

    Crazy, I think it has to do with the operating authority on this issue. I own my truck, I'm an IC, but I operate under the authority of the company. To try to say it better, the carrier is responsible for DOT compliance. This would be in line with things like keeping logs and inspections on file.

    Help staying awake naturally

    And, why do some assume that because something is "natural" it's O.K.? Let's munch down some magic mushrooms, it's natural! Those hallucinations will be perfectly safe.

    10 Job Sectors in Decline

    Can that really be more than just a statistical blip? In towns that have both a KMart and Wal-Mart, the KMart will have an empty parking lot. My hometown of Alpena is a great example. When I go into the KMart it seems like it's just me and the employees, while at the same time the Wally World...

    cargo/van sleeper photos

    I agree with Moot, and not just because I'm terrified of the consequences if I didn't. My van had a bulkhead, so I never did 3. But, I know several other people that have done it. It does raise the question of what a "standard" skid is. 48x40, 48x45, 48x48...

    scoring brownie points in michigan

    By the letter of the law, it is illegal in Mich. I asked at the SOS how that can be when we have returnable containers. I was told that officers can make a judgment call on it. If it's obvious you're returning them, no problem. If it appears you're drinking, there's a problem.

    Doin my research.

    While expedite is often referred to as hotshot, it's a different critter. Being in oil country, true hotshot may be just what you need to fit in with your fire fighting. What you're looking to do wouldn't work well with expedite, needing to get back in a couple of days. Try a hotshot website.

    New Expediters Hall of Fame Webpage

    In your history time line, you say that Tri-State was started in '78, but the industry wasn't born until '80 with Roberts Express. Wouldn't it have been born with Tri-State Expedite?

    Is a Expediters Hall of Fame over due

    Bruno, you really don't need permission from anyone here. Just start up a web site and make it a cyber Hall of Fame. If it's something that excites people it'll grow from there.

    I'm in Laredo. Do I need to contact TJP to register to be here? Just wondering if the protocol has changed since I was last here.

    After meeting you I had a feeling you were a deep, profound kind of dude. The founding fathers would be proud of your desire to be free. Ban the van!!!

    per Diem

    In the per diem thread started by Teamcaffee you say that we can't use both rates. If we started on the $52 rate we have to stick with it for the entire year.
