RE: Count your blessings, don't sweat the small st Condolences Leo. We all should appreciate every day we have.

Hedgehog, after reading your post I'm not sure who should be offended or what genie is out of the bottle. I'm sure that the long time veterans of the business have seen better times and have no problem saying so. Expediting is overpopulated with vans. This is just members being honest about what...

I know 2 guys that put discounted van loads in their D trucks to get back from the TexMex border last week. If the alternative is leaving empty, how much money do you take out of your pocket to stand on principle? It is a frustrating game to have to play. I think the difference between us and...

I'm with Altell and was told that there was a small chance of roaming charges, but I haven't seen any yet. The coverage is good and it doesn't drop calls too very much.

I'm not a fleet owner, but I think it will be more of a headache than it's worth. You're probably gonna take a hit selling it with that many miles on an '06, but that's better than the potential hassle that could happen with a driver. IMHO.

Right now getting that many miles will be tough. When it picks up you can do that much and more. In general, expedite is overpopulated with vans. As far as what company to choose, have you talked to Thompson? I was with them for over 6 years, until they eliminated the U.S. part of the fleet...

OVM, if you're gonna be an American you need to drop the u when you spell humor, eh?;)

The trucker atlas costs more than $3.95. The atlas you referred to has basic maps, no truck info. Even the year old truck atlas on sale is more than $3.95.

Three phones? Must be a good story. I have two, business and personal. The one I use most is Altell. I'm very happy with it. Excellent coverage, doesn't drop calls very much. The other is Verizon. So far, it's O.K. I switched from Nextel. Their customer service is absolutely the pits. It's a...

The things she wants to do to me...

I was on-board with the "I don't have to pay" folks for a while. That was until an IRS agent, wearing a blue helmet, landed a black helicopter in my front yard and said I better pay up.

Even if it wasn't an illegal turn he failed to do it in a competent manner. He's definately at fault.

Silverdollar, the question asked was about trucker information. If your mommy had ever shown you a $3.95 atlas, you would know that it has very little, if any, trucker info.

RE: Independent Contractors/owner operators: what' An O/O is someone that owns the truck and drives it. An O/O can be an independant contractor or have their own authority. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

No diesel needed. They have one that runs on gas.

(Drum roll please) And now, the 39.95 question: Cheri, do you know any more now than when you posted the question? Mr. Gore, thanks for taking the time. We know your time is valuable, with all the preaching you have to do telling others to live more frugally than you do.

RE: who's your favorite all-time baseball player, Alan Trammel and Lou Whitacre were a good team. Both modest guys, no chest pounding and all that crap. Just good, tight players.

Letsrock, while I do see and even agree with the point you make, I think you're wrong about the rampant egomania. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I find it to be the exception. Most who post regularly here do so because they want to help, not keep deep, dark secrets in their back pockets...

Could McDonalds be secretly harvesting the polar bear carcasses for use in their burgers? Soylent White is polar bears!!!

The folks from the World Wrestling Federation mean well, and that's all that really matters, right?
