I'm sorry if "we people" offended you by not beating our chests and joining your resistance with a mighty roar. Bottom line is, it's no better an idea than any of the other ideas. While doing something, anything at all, seems like a good way to vent, it's no good if it's just noise.

Greg, I think redytrk was yelling at me for asking about blocking them. I'm sorry that my question was apparantly really stupid. The reason I brought it up is that since I got Hotmail I no longer get any garbage. When I used an internet provider I used to have I got all kinds of junk and they...

My shirts are 3x and my card is legit.

Back in the spring of '99 I pulled into the Pennzoil shop on Telegraph about a mile or so north of the I-75 ramp. The guy comes out and asks if I want an oil change. Yes. He then tells me it will be about $90. In shock, I reply that that's ridiculous. He then tells me what the Ford dealer...

Interesting idea, but it would sacrifice extra cabinet space. Maybe a worthwhile trade for a little better MPG. I'm considering a higher roof for my next van.

I firmly believe in capitalism and have no problem with a business making a profit. But, the quarterly profits being reported right now are ridculous. When you take an average family with an average income, what has happened over the last few years to their monthly gasoline expense is very...

I have Hotmail and I get none of these things. Can't you easily block them?

What you just described has to be one of the biggest challenges for the straight truck folks. Without movable axles, getting that lump of 10k just right has to be a tough judgement call. Add in maybe not having a scale in the area and knowing that the shipper was gone 10 minutes after he put it...

I think the move to July is a good idea. Taking the weather out of the picture can't hurt either. See you all there!

Excellant post LDB. As usual, you get an A in the "simple, common sense, logic" department. Dave, you have nothing to sorry about in your post. The sound of your hammer hitting the nail squarely on the head reasonates very loudly. All they had to do was sit back and see if an offer came in...

I also think Phil is the right guy for the job, provided he takes off his rose-colored glasses and includes the bad with the good. Times can get tough in this business. Take right now for instance. Freight is very soft and there are a lot of trucks sitting. 2001 was not a good year and all the...

Why do people use the word mistake in a situation like this? Mistakes are unintentional. When I misspell a word in a post, that's a mistake. I had no desire to misspell the word. When someone drinks and drives that's a choice. The "we're all only human" thing just does'nt fly here. I like that...

Does someone that got 148 on the Hell test have to be supervised around small children?

The VW gas fired heater was an option in the Beetle back in the day. The forced air heater in an air-cooled engine was lame, to say the least. I had a couple of them and there was no way to be warm unless you did expressway speeds for an extended period of time.

Congrats Thawk! Some say the quality of time is more important than the quanity with your kids. That's a lot of bovine solid waste from people who would rather do something other than be with their kids. If you can get in a position to get off the road you won't regret it. It's amazing how...

RichM started a thread in the Open Forum, "Personal use of a commercial vehicle." Right now it's three pages back.

T-Hawk was just giving you sound advice and telling you the way he saw the situation. Your responce to him was uncalled for. If your with an owner you trust now, why not get a truck he is willing to lease to you and then work your way up to a nicer truck. You may consider this "bashing" you...

If you left the shipper with bad paperwork, that's your fault. It only takes a few seconds to go over the invoice and make sure it's complete. Why did'nt you do that?

Disagreements are very common here in the Forum. I think Ateam makes a good point in wanting to keep that under control as much as possible. I don't feel excluded as I, or anyone, could simply PM Ateam with any suggestion I might have. Self serving? I doubt it. After all, it's just expediting...

When the final product is put together, a tounge-in-cheek way to start it would be a salute to the caveman that first came up with the wheel.
