Some of ya's in this area might already know the story. The basics are a crook breaks into this guys house. The guy catches him in the act, & the crook flees. The guy chases the crook for a few blocks & then shoots him. If you were to rule on this, what would be your verdict? For what...

Now that 2010 is coming to a close, are there any runs you've had in the past year that are memorable & make ya smile as ya think back on em? What took place to make em special for ya?

Scenario: I took my van to a pickup. While waiting to get loaded I shut it off. They loaded me, did the paperwork etc. When I start it to leave the thing doesn't start. They call security & in the meantime I'm trying to start a few times. Before security actually got to me, my van...

I realize these types of runs are rare, but just wondering how often do ya get these kinds of little gems.

In this incarnation of expediting I've noticed on thing that hasn't happened when I was in this before. There's a lot more runs that leave the midwest. That part of things is good. I'm finding I like longer runs better than the 300 or so milers. The bad news in this is I'm finding that when...

I had generally had a negative feeling towards Qualcom & such, mainly because of the cost. My current company uses satellite, though they use Nextel GPS. For the first month I didn't really see the big deal in it one way or the other. Yesterday though, I was driving thru Tenn. I was...

I was at the J & got 30 gallons of gas. I went in to get my shower ticket & the gal said that I had 1/2 shower. I asked about the 30 gallons & she said it was took 50, & that 30 would get me a half shower. She also said 2 half showers doesn't equal 1 full shower. I had always thought 1/2...

I'm not sure how true it is. I heard it on the John Tesh show though (insert joke here). Anyway, supposedly having a cinnamon air freshener releases something that naturally keeps ya awake longer.

I remember part of a thread on this very thing not to long ago. Basically I was worried about an original not getting to the office in the US Mail after I'd had paperwork signed & faxed in. I do have copies, but they didn't get the original. So now I'm sitting here after making a delivery...

I finally got a computer for being out on the road. It's a used P3 that my brother gave me to try out before I decide if I want to keep using this one or get a new one. Anyway, it doesn't have a battery for it. So the only way to run it is to plug it in. What I do is plug it into a 175 watt...

I just got off the phone w/ ATT. I got DSL for my house w/ the capability of using their wifi hot spots unlimited for $30/month. I got the up to 3.0 speed. Ya can get 1.5 for $25 or if ya wanna go to the 6.0 I think that's like $35 or 40. The way it was explained to me was that this wasn't...

I just got one of these things on the good word about em from some EO members here. I also got a Carbon Monoxide detector to go w/ it. I feel better about having some heat because before I didn't really feel to comfortable w/ the idea of delivering to a cold weather area. Now w/ this & a few...

I hope this is in the right forum. My question is does anyone know about a liquid salt that ya apply once or twice a year & it keeps the snow from building up on your driveway? I thought it was somewhere on this forum that it was discussed. Apparently by applying this the snow on your...

I realize to anyone else this is sort of mundane. For me though it's pretty exciting. This has been a process that's been in the making for a couple of weeks now. I didn't say anything cuz I didn't wanna jinx it. I knew I should have passed the background checks & such, but ya never know if a...

I'm not mechanically inclined so I'm wondering about something. I just got a rear brake done & here's my challenge. Yesterday I took my van about 30 miles to get a bulkhead installed. Near the end of the trip I started smelling something burning. I had thought it was the engine. At the...

We've probably all had at least one occurance w/ a cell phone driver & a drunk driver by now. A situation in Cincy happend that could have cost a lot of lives. Of course the person who caused it would have just kept driving up the road, oblivious to what she almost caused. Fortunately, this...

At Home Depot for $59. 23,000 BTUs. Will be real toasty. Challenge from my understanding is there's no thermostat control. So the thing is either on or off & will roast ya out of your truck. Also will have a less than great smell when ya shut it off. Still, all in all not a bad price if ya...

Is there a fair amount of freight going to or from Knoxville? I realize "fair amount" is different for everyone. So I guess what I'm asking is if you had a run to Knoxville, would you stay there & wait for something or would you relocate to somewhere else? I'm asking because I'm considering...

This Q is based only on distance from home. Not a weekend. No special event. Just that ya had a mid week delivery & got empty in the early evening. Example, 6PM Tuesday delivery is X amount of miles from your home. How many miles from home do you have to be for ya to decide you'll spend...

Awhile back working for 2 companies was brought up. I did just that & have been at it for a bit now. Here's my thoughts on it. The two companies I work for are T&K and Alliance. Overall I wouldn't suggest it. Having said that I like both companies enough that I won't quit unless one tells...
