    General Economic Conditions

    ROI an abstract concept? Not even! It's quite simple, an O/O invests in a truck and expects a reasonable return on that investment. Is there really more to it than that? Could you be trying to make it seem more abstract to justify spending a lot of money on a truck?

    When is a D is better than a C

    How many times do I have to tell you people, if my office door is closed, and my silicon enhanced, bleach-blond receptionist is not at her desk, DON'T FREAKIN' BOTHER ME!! If the choice is between a van and a D-unit, and making money is the true goal, as opposed to just being a paid tourist...

    When is a D is better than a C

    Amen brother!!! I chose a D-unit and I'm glad I did. I can't do 15k, but that's a good idea and my next one will be pusher or tandem.

    Great Shop for a Rig Master

    Good advice on the factory air filter, I really didn't think about warranty issues. But, I would think a name brand, like Baldwin, would be acceptable.

    When I was 17

    Happy now? You bet'cha! How many people sit in a cubicle all day or run a machine in a shop dreaming about what it would be like to wander around the lower 48 for a living? Yes sir, livin' the dream. Heck, I got to spend the weekend in Bordentown, N.J. Is that livin' large or WHAT?!? I tend...

    Do the Bob Club locations have truck friendly parking lots? I promise not to leave pee bottles laying around.

    Sprinter vs. Cargo Van

    When I look at the clouds I usually see either the Michelin Man or the starship Enterprise. Moot, you know I was kidding, right? You're on the VERY short list of people whose whining I'll put up with. And, it still looks like your nose to me.

    Government Sponsored Healthcare

    That's an apples to oranges comparison. You EARNED that with your service to our country and you deserve it! Welfare is a so called "entitlement" that people don't need to earn or, necessarily, deserve.

    Let's add another tier to the cake of disrespect

    The Keys sound pretty good as I sit here in cold and dreary New Jersey. Maybe someone will need some Margarita salt expedited down there. I might even be willing to do that at a discounted rate.

    Tyt Index

    How would a thumb twiddling injury effect the index? Mine are so over twiddled that I've suffered ligament strains with a possible tear. I'm going to need an MRI to be certain.

    If he's elected, I wonder if he'll use the Bible or the Koran to take the Oath of Office?

    Let's add another tier to the cake of disrespect

    We could spend 40 or 50 bucks for a motel room to shower. Other than that, what options would you suggest?

    Truck Friendly GPS

    I held out on a GPS unit until the price came down to a level that I thought was reasonable. A pencil and paper with your lefts and rights will certainly get the job done. The GPS is worth the price of admission when you're dealing things like missing or obscured street signs, for example. But...

    This takes the cake!

    I think most of us would help in a situation like that. Between 8pm and early Monday morning I'm probably not going to miss out on anything good anyway. A little good karma could go a long way, you never know. Of course, if dispatch heard me cough or sniffle, I'd probably be put O/S just to...
