    Need advice on a 'supposed' seat belt ticket in Texas

    If you were issued a ticket then the State of Texas or whatever jurisdiction should have the original ticket with your signature. Politely request a photocopy of the original ticket. Better yet have an attorney request the photocopy.

    Thank you Terry, Judy, Charles and Thawk for your contributions behind the scenes. Now that you are "retired" maybe the four of you can post more often.

    Hazmat question?!

    It's about time! How many years have you been driving without a drivers license?

    Hazmat question?!

    That is a myopic view from a typical expediter. The freight world does not revolve around the single shipment/exclusive use shipper. Broaden your scope to include LTL and then think about shipping papers not indicating 500 pounds of flammable paint to be marked as HAZMAT. City P&D driver Moot...

    I take it you are not a Herman's Hermits fan.

    California want to force hotels to use fitted sheets

    I believe it is the washing and even more so the drying that takes its toll on the elastic.

    California want to force hotels to use fitted sheets

    I'm no sheet expert but my experience with fitted sheets, at least the kind with the elastic is that while the sheet doesn't wear any faster than a flat sheet, the elastic gives out long before the cotton fabric wears out. I also find using a fitted sheet requires each corner of the mattress...

    The Inevitable Begins

    There is a much grater chance of J.D. chiming in than Paul Harvey. But if Paul Harvey did chime in, what a great "Rest Of The Story" that would be!

    Would real expediters?

    The first few posts by the OP led me to believe that he/she/we had a get rich scheme to sell this program to individual expediters who are members on E.O. Now that the OP has divulged a target customer and a basic course outline, well, he/she/we might be on to something. It shouldn't be too...

    Americans are living in 1984

    If we are truly living in 1984 with Big Brother in complete control, how is it that Mr. Roberts is allowed to disseminate the real truth? Why hasn't Big Brother dispatched an agent from the Ministry of Truth or the Ministry of Love to park one in this guy's attic? Is Mr. Roberts on the lam and...

    Pulling a really small camper

    Con-Way Now tried the van/trailer combo when they first started up in August of 1996. When I got on with them in January of 1997 the few trailers that hadn't been wrecked were for sale. I think drivers got lazy and loaded the trailer only. 3000 plus pounds behind an empty trailer with a...

    Stone Cold Hard Core Tucker

    How does your wife and Melanieanne feel about this? Who's watching the truck when you and your co-driver are cavorting in the shower?

    Real Expediters Do NOT Use GPS...

    Excellent! I have had a GPS for a few years and think it's great. But, I still buy a new Rand McNally every year and use it. Maps give a better overview and lay of the land. I also have a collection of state maps that I update when offered for free. Try substituting a map for the sports...

    Real Expediters Do NOT Use GPS...

    I would like to see a GPS Navigation course offered. Possibly an on-line course with college credits and a diploma or bumper sticker issued upon successful completion.
