    Why not just continue to do the log on paper so you have it for an audit?

    Biofuel

    At the J in South Beloit, diesel is 3.05. I know Petro's are usually a little more, but the one in Rochelle is ridiculous.

    XM radio - now what?

    As your list shows, you did manage to find something worthwhile. Heck, as I type this, I'm listening to the doctor on Fox News talk about constipation. How exciting is that!?! And, it comes in as clear here in La Crosse as it would in Toadsuck, Ar. It's like cable. For every Discovery Channel...

    found a new drink

    Buying your own BP cuff is the only way to go. I take a pill for my BP and keep an eye on it with my cuff. I've tried 3 of the truckstop machines and 2 of them gave false high readings. I take mine with me to the doctor once in a while to compare readings. The first time I tried one at a J...

    Thompson makes his announcement

    Are there actually people who would walk into the polling booth thinking, "What would Oprah do?" C'mon... Being speaker of the House and a key player in the Contract with America was hardly a minor role. But, he has been out of the limelight and the publics memory can be short. I can see where...

    Truck inspections.....

    My company just uses the annual DOT and a roadside inspection would not count as a replacement for that. This is a better question for whatever company you want to lease on to.

    Truck inspections.....

    This is company specific. There is no blanket standard.

    Thompson makes his announcement

    Yeah, you guys are probably right about Newt. It would be an attractive ticket to those wanting to back away from the middle.

    Thompson makes his announcement

    A Thompson/Gingrich ticket? Newt was the only Republican he mentioned by name on the Tonight show. I'm not ready to make final judgment on Thompson yet, but I think I'm going to end up liking him. I like politicians that can, at least, sound like they're speaking from the heart about their core...

    Welcome to Our World

    You got that right Crazy. I think xo6 has never been on the 401. If you're in the left lane passing traffic and "only" doing 120, odds are that you will be very closely tailgated and called vulgar names on the CB. When I ran the 401 regularly, it was a problem there WAY more than anywhere else...

    I'm truly envious of those numbers. I haven't been in that good a groove in a while.

    D Units on the Highways

    The 5 year thing is only for signing the truck on. Most will let you keep a truck much longer once it's on. Rich had his on with the Fed for 9 years, I think?

    Home Time

    Now that I've moved up to the comfort of a D-unit, I'm out minimum 6 weeks up to 3 months. I stay home 4 or 5 days and will be home for a week to 10 days at Christmas. My son overnights my mail to me when needed.

    WAY TO GO SPEEDCO!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had a problem with Speedco the first time I went to them. They stepped right up and did the right thing with me too. It speaks well of them and I continue to use them.

    $#&*^% DARN IT!!!!

    Geez Hawk, I guess I'm going to have to play things a bit closer to the vest.:+ Actually, since we have a rotation I wouldn't look at you as a competitor even if I was parked next to you. Your 24' box might bump you ahead of me, or the bigger inner dimensions and door opening of mine could get...
