The first load I hauled in my straight truck was machinery that required straps and pads. When I got in the dock, the shipper walked in the box and started strapping things down. He said he always did that, and I thought it was a good idea. He knows the machines well. Ever since, I always ask if...

Flattop, will you be running with a significant other? If not, why team?

The 14 hour rule is irrelevant in a team operation. Driver 1 is behind wheel for 10 while driver 2 is in the bunk. They switch and keep going.

I'm not a team, but since no one's jumped in I'll give you my $.02. I think it would vary. How rested is the team at the start of the load? How does that particular team like to run? Did the load pick up in the AM or late PM? Lots of variables.

Ron White: "I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability." I had a DOT inspection in Texas during the June blitz last year. The guy used a neat, sort of casual approach to getting consent to search my sleeper. He said I had a nice truck and he didn't see many like it with...

The spray had to look awesome at 75mph!

Wow Moot. Little micro-dot flashback? From the title track of Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells a Story": Down in Rome I wasn't gettin' me none of the things that keep a young man alive. My body stunk, but I kept my funk, at a time when I was right out of luck.

Hey Moot, I've got a bridge for sale. It's in northern Michigan, about 5 miles long. It's fairly popular. If your interested I'll give you a good price.

The problem is some of them have decided that they want to do this and just don't want to hear what they don't want to hear. They'll take the one tiny thing someone says that sounds good, like the one great week they've had in the last couple of months, and forget about how many are saying how...

Wow! I'm shocked!! Shocked, I tell you!! Turtle, are you suggesting that Dvae urged Khalid to publicly thank him for sharing his vast wisdom? Say it ain't so... No... it can't be. Dvae seems like a humble man that wouldn't need to bring that kind of attention to himself.

Who's the hottest news reading babe on Fox News? I vote for Megyn Kelly.

Thanks DD! In 30+ years of using that handle, I've only come across 1 other. How about 1 for our forum moderator, Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver." Or, is that forum administrator? Whatever the heck he is...

Well, I think we have a credibility issue with this appointment. I tried the poop thing and it did, indeed, weigh something! But seriously... You'll be a good addition, Layout. I suspect you'll have no problem calling them as you see them. Good luck!

It could have been "CB chatter". That can be a very reliable source.

And what a final round it was! Wow... I didn't expect to see Kenny choke like that.

Cheri mentioned Facebook to me the other day. I'm kinda like Leo, I spend so much time on the 'puter now, I'm really resisting things that would have me here even more. I dunno, maybe I'll do it, but I just don't think I'm interesting enough to have something people would want to check out. I'm...

I'm not sure what that means, but I don't think I like it! I may, or may not, be really insulted right now!

One person's stuck might be another person's paradise. I'm sure that somewhere there's an expediter that's just elated they don't have to go to a dinner and have to put up with whining Aunt Esther and drunken Uncle Herb. I'm at the Walton, Ky. J.

That's right! 2 years ago my forehead became just a bit smaller then yours. LOL...

I wonder how many survivors of the Great Depression survived by getting into a business where people with many years of experience were struggling? My guess would be very few. You really do seem to have your mind made up. Good luck.
