    MPG Challenge

    That's pretty funny for a guy that's never heard of George Carlin, and you didn't even have to use any of the 7 dirty words.

    Load Or No Load

    So many questions... Did Moot shave his head, or maybe he was already bald? Is he a phobic that won't shake hands and does the fist bump? Does he use chinchillas instead of smokin' hot models?

    Canada FAST card

    Well, the first thing I learned is that you can't do anything in Detroit, so over the bridge I went. I was given an app, told it would be processed like before, everything done the same as before. Wait for the letter, go back in, ect. I just don't need it bad enough to have to plan another...

    straight trucks & truck stops

    When you go to a crowded truck stop, it can be easy to "improvise" a spot that a t/t can't fit in. I'll also use the RV lot. I was at the Indy Hook Saturday night and it was nearly full, just a few spots left with several trucks looking, so I went to the RV lot to leave a space for a t/t.

    Canada FAST card

    I'm wondering the same thing. That's where I'm drawing the line. I'm not hauling hazmat and I'm not going through all that "just in case".

    Canada FAST card

    That makes more sense than what I was told on the phone. I expected them to want to do another background check to make sure you've kept your nose clean before renewal. I'm going to Romulus tomorrow, so I guess I'll take care of it in Detroit on Friday. Thanks for the feedback.

    35th Anniversary

    Greg, as someone who's been to Seaworld, I'm completely offended by your post. Don't you know that when they go "eh, eh, eh, eh", they're talking to us? And, did you ever see Arnold Ziffel ride his tail in the water? I think not!

    Canada FAST card

    I just got off the phone with the FAST folks. And, before the usual suspect chimes in to tell me what an idiot I am for posting here before calling, yes, I'm an idiot, thank you. Anyway... The rumor I heard is, indeed, horse hockey. The FAST card isn't going away anytime soon. You will get no...

    Canada FAST card

    Thanks for the replies. I read an article in McPaper last week with the info you posted DD. I'm on the fence about renewing as I don't do much Canada anymore and I have a passport. I just expected to get something about renewal in the mail.

    For the Record

    I'd like to schmega-ditto Moot's ditto. I would be very interested in reading your book, Tall. Put me on the list!

    Should I be worried?

    Given the amount of debt the Federal Government is carrying, they don't really have the money to send out those checks anyway. There are those that say we'll never have anything like the great depression again because they've become better at handling the things that lead up to economic...

    Canada FAST card

    A friend told me there is no more FAST card. Is this true? Mine expired this month and I received nothing from them for a renewal.

    The same thing happened to me. All the other forums are fine.

    OVM bails out

    That is a good question Ark, so I posted it over there. Hope you don't mind. Personally, I'm sorry to see the guy go. I think you can love your country and still question it. It's called freedom. "Don't let the door hit you" is just a bit harsh in this case. Of course, I would never get obsessed...

    Hos

    The 34 restart is simple. Take 34 hours off and you have a fresh 70. But, it looks like we'll be losing it once "they" decide what they're going to do. When that happens, once you hit your 70 you'll have to wait until you drop hours to work again. The best way to understand that is to look at a...

    Thank you all for your time

    That's exactly how I started in the biz. I drove that van over 8 years, much longer than I thought I would. I just had "commitment issues" regarding the big investment. Would I do it differently with the advantage of hindsight? I'm really not sure. I am glad that I never had to deal with a...
