Ditto on the Sprayway, which is getting easier to find now than it used to be. And here's a nifty tip I learned from professional cleaners: when cleaning both sides of glass, use vertical swipes on one side, horizontal on the other. Makes it easy to see which side any pesky streaks are on. :)

I'm confused about the long form statement, as more than one roadside inspector has demanded to see my long form medical cert. - sure didn't feel as if I have any privacy! Every attempt to get a DOT physical being reported would be just as effective as creating a registry of approved docs...

Fuel is going down, but the taxes aren't, and neither is the cost of living, and the rates haven't risen to offset the increases, either. If we don't get more compensation when numerous costs go up, why should we get less because one cost is not? Especially when the FS will decline to compensate...

Yep - because some drivers falsified their cards, we all have to use DOT approved docs, which means I can't use the doc I trust, who has been taking care of me for years, and knows everything about me. Great idea, huh? Why not just pull the license of anyone caught without a valid and...

One can get some degrees [Divinity comes to mind] simply by mailing the requisite amount of money to the requisite address - just sayin. But who alleged that degrees equal intelligence, anyhow? Oh - never mind.:rolleyes:

Bottom line is that it's about liability, and if that's not an insurance concept, what is? I have searched for the threads/posts I remember stating that carrier requirements are passed on from insurance requirements, without any luck. ['Search' is a bad idea for an ADD person, lol, because I...

Aaah - but in the eyes of the law, there is [and should be] no difference, when people are rioting in the streets. Whether they're "drunken brats" or an "organized group" [?] they are in violation of the laws. Funny, how you are quick to defend the sports fans, but refuse to acknowledge that...

I'm going to enjoy picturing every single cop I see doing that, lol. And using it to validate my refusal to have a dashcam that points at me, too. [There's a reason I don't sing in public!]

It also says that all the people who found nothing wrong with the police tactics when protesters were angry about young black males being shot with little or no provocation, might pay attention now that the police are going after college football fans. Riiiight. But there's nothing racist about...

It's probably a ploy by the Republicans to expose food stamp fraud - if they can afford to waste the canned goods, they're not really:rolleyes: hungry.

Those flexor tendons you mentioned? Mine have "nodes" on them , [repetitive motion injury], which sometimes get caught on the bands of tissue across the bottom of each finger, which locks the finger in a curled position. Makes it real hard [well, impossible] to put gloves on, but also makes it...

Turtle: convincing some people that they are routinely manipulated by the "news" they read is just impossible - they have too much invested in their intelligent self image to admit to being wrong. But, like those who use words they don't actually know the meaning of, [because they've heard...

Tried to delete the duplicate, but the net up here in the Thumb is giving me the finger, I guess, taking so long it times out. Sorry! :(

Maybe I misunderstood what you wrote - if so, sorry, I thought you were defending the practice. I totally understand that feeling of "ugly", remembering the first time I heard about some customers being given 2 free hours of load/unload time. [I was in a cargo van!] I didn't think that was...

The news coverage treated both protesters and looters as one mob, no difference.

I think Tknight is right: just give the drivers a key for each truck - it is a 'small' fleet, right? Keep the fuel cards out of sight in the truck, and you can match keys to trucks by color, putting a dab of nail polish on each key and an inconspicuous spot on the truck. Since you probably don't...

If all I knew about the event was in that headline, [which is true of a lot of readers], I'd think the "revelers" were celebrating by singing loudly and maybe snatching an occasional police officer's cap, and the pepper spray was an overreaction. When the streets are full of rampaging people...

Turtle, if you need occasional pain relief, you might try the generic Excedrin - it has aspirin, acetaminophen [generic Tylenol], and caffeine. The Tylenol might be a drawback, but the aspirin & caffeine mean there's less of it, at least. Still have swelling? Is that normal? [I've never broken...

I view the FSC as a matter of ethics, more than profit. If Customer A pays a FS, then Customers B-Z should, as well. I don't like the concept of "selling" by discounting, believing it unfair to those customers who don't get discounted rates, because the service we provide is the same for all...

Roadhouse: you don't seem to understand who is imposing their rules on drivers. It's the insurance carriers, and when do you hear them complaining about government regulations?
