    Opinions on fair tax ?

    When I was a child in Boston, the Sumner Tunnel was a $.25 toll road. The toll was implemented to pay for the tunnel construction and was to be eliminated when all the bills were paid. The bills have been paid and today the automobile toll is $3.00. The Boston politicians have been a bit...

    fresh smelling semi

    If that doesn't work for you, I'll sell you a diesel scented air freshener to hang from the disco ball in the sleeper. Need a disco ball, we can do that too. These objects are too secret to give any more details so e-mail my brother if you want some. Terry

    Sanity or insanity

    This one's for the OldProf; his high level of intellect should allow him to do these in his head while relieving the boredom. Everyone else will go insane by level 5. www.planarity.net

    Naptime

    Regardless of my sleep prior to a night run, I nearly always seem to need a nap between 1600 and 1800 and again between 0300 and 0500, or just before dawn. As a sea faring man, I preferred the early morning watches and usually was wide awake to see the sun rise over the horizon. Perhaps that's...

    EXPO 05

    L&B: I can't place the faces but think I remember your name tags. Perhaps the management will have tags next year that not only have names but home towns and carrier(if any). Rene' and I live next door to you in the low rent district at exit 220. Let's do lunch. We too had a great time at...

    Who's tired of HIGH diesel prices!?

    Cashcrop1 conveniently forgot to mention the $299 annual membership fee needed for the joy of saving this staggering sum of money. This is an MLM opportunity that would have you pay an additional $99 to sign up two people who each would find and sign two more every 8 weeks, etc., etc. Two would...

    Truck value

    Sounds like you can get a two truck fleet ready to roll for the 35K. I think the actual value of the truck is not as important as the value of the complete package. I believe I'd be more interested in a mechanical evaluation of the remaining life of the trucks, the intentions of the drivers if...

    backup-camera-systems

    Broompilot is traveling without his truck this weekend so I'll try to do his system justice in case he misses this thread. He has a dash mounted monitor with continuous loop recorder that records whatever is showing on the manually switched monitor. He has a camera in the front windshield to...

    Trying to Get info

    This may sound like a broken record but I suggest you make an investment in your future and make it to the Expedite Expo where you can talk to the many ConWayNow drivers that'll be there. I take nothing away from the recruiter's; however, if they told you the average is 1800 miles a week, I...

    Ditto what Leo said but, let us not forget that the responsibility to run legal primarily rests with the DRIVER.

    Canada What is a Canadian?

    I've often wondered why the Canadian folks refer to their south of the border friends as "Americans" and leave themselves out of that category. It seems to me that anyone living in the Americas is an American

    Sorry to have missed you. Too many of us in Canada so I DH'd to Buffalo and got loaded to Delaware thence to CT. DH from there to Cape Cod to visit my two sons. Lobster and Budweiser; nothing like it.
