Wait staff are the only people I know of that have an income based in part on tipping. Other than that, it takes someone going above and beyond to get a tip from me, and there have been a few times. I just won't tip someone who showed up and did their job. We are in a job that frequently saves...

Av-sleeping means you can take sleep time and not lose your place in line. If you become #1 while sleeping, they would go around you until your sleep time is up. 34 hour restart is for logging drivers that have run out of hours.

Senior got killed going into the wall. How many drivers did he put into the wall over the years? He's lucky he didn't kill someone. Is wimpy the right description? How about, more civil? I know someone whose interest dropped big time after Senior died. He used to watch just to see what #3 was...

I think it's O.K. everywhere, but if a relative is involved it can't be one any closer than 2nd cousin.

IMHO, I don't see any cut&dry right or wrong here, other than sleep time should be left out of the equation. You have to sleep no matter where you're at. I would tend to lean towards Thawk's view. I know farmers that have run some form of this formula and, trust me, we're doing better than most...

They're Coming To Take Me Away- Loudon Wainwright

Hawk, I once saw a guy that had 2 ferrets in his truck. Trust me, you don't want your truck to smell like that.

It's quite possible the families involved are more than happy to milk their 15 minutes of fame. For some, being on TV is the be all, end all. I've heard in the past that people don't get paid to be on Oprah or any of those type of shows. They do get all expenses paid. Luxury hotel, 5 star meals...

"No, it is not slow for everyone, I am busy." It would appear the torch has been passed. You'll do just fine to fill the temporary vacancy, Greg. Congratulations!:+ ;)

Actually, the fuel on the car island is $.10 more than it is on the truck island using a DOT# in Indiana. The credit card policies will vary depending on where you buy fuel.

Your right Talcal, Ronny Raygun didn't help build houses for disadvantaged people. All he did was set in motion a healthy economy that gave those people a chance to support themselves. Certainly a more dignified way to get the things in life a person needs. A hands on approach to AIDS? What...

Cheri, they're talking about freight brokers, not customs brokers.

Welcome on board RLENT. Using the archives to educate yourself is a great way to get to know the business.

Benny Parsons passed Tuesday as a result of complications from cancer treatment. Phrases like "a truly class act" and a "genuinely kind and decent human being" are being used to describe him. He was absolutely my favorite among the current crop of NASCAR announcers. You could tell he was just...

I've yet to see a dog that wasn't happy as can be to be with it's human. I'm a dog lover and would love the companionship. But, the hassle probably would be too much. The Caffees post pretty much confirmed what I've been thinking.

In other news... Britney Spears continues work on her new album and is reported to be considering wearing underwear again.

I discovered expediting back in the '80s when it was just starting to grow into what it is today. I started seeing vans that were hauling freight. When the first guy I talked to told me what he was making, I laughed and walked away. When the second guy had the same story, I thought there must be...

What a great way to redirect welfare spending. I have no problem seeing my tax dollars spent in this way, as opposed to a handout. BTW Rich, this was a very well written piece. Concise and informative. Where did you put yourself on that list?

Aviator, ditto LDB's post for me. You are VERY appreciated. This is an enemy unlike any we have fought. Even if Iraq is wrapped up in the next couple of years, the larger battle will be something my grandchildren will probably be dealing with. It should continue until these animals are...

A BIG ROFL from me as well. I don't care who you are, that's funny! And, as we all know, the best comedy is based on the truths in life.
