Baker's Square does the same, my daughter calls it "Happy Piehole Day" ;)

I was gonna say that earlier, lol, but got distracted. I remember three years of eating almost nothing for lunch from the cafeteria except the mashed potatoes & sticky buns. The kind of diet that got us where we are today, IOW. :o

You'd lose, goober. Read post #24: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/36752-new-airtabs.html The initial cost [about $200 for a S/T, not sure about a C/V] is more than repaid in fuel savings over the life of the Airtabs. That's just the $ - they also reduce the buffeting from...

Me too. Paticularly when links are posted by someone who clearly didn't read them, or just failed to comprehend. all but the last link describe the same situation, which, upon investigation, was an error on the part of the teacher who declared the child's sack lunch unacceptable. Missed that...

Yes, the poor little ones have to suffer being deprived of peanut butter while in school, but they can have it as soon as they get home. Which is more than the allergic kid gets. The reason it's an issue is because the kids in question are 5-6 years old, and don't understand the potential for...

Or they're 'quoting' the movie 'Wild America' :eek:

I recall that too, but if memory serves, the issue [at least in the one I read] wasn't nutrition. It was about a young child with serious and severe allergies to nuts that constituted a life threatening condition. Even another child's peanut butter breath could provoke an attack, so all children...

I do the same, but it still makes me scratch my head when someone is ready & willing to hand over their goods without a receipt, as it were. I've never seen it happen with anything of 'resale' value, lol, but still....:D

Says the person who thereby makes it personal, lol.

I believe the root cause of most of the problems we face today is unemployment. Capitalism and civilization require it, not to mention human dignity. When we can solve that problem, many others will disappear as well. Every oppressed group [from slaves to the much maligned Irish] has lifted...

Can't speak to his lectures, but in his writing, Asimov made the distinction between fiction and non, as he wrote on both sides of the fence: science and science fiction. The man was brilliant, no doubt about it.

Don't - you'll scramble your brain trying to make sense of it. I should have let the reference to Heinlein's book go, too, but I was surprised to see it cited. On second thought, it was probably the last time the OP actually read a book on an unfamiliar subject, lol. I wanted to ask, but didn't...

Every load where the shipper has zero paperwork to go with the freight.

Mine. The reason I'd like window clings is portability - lost a few favorite bumperstickers when switching trucks. :(

Then you will just love Jeff Campbell! About Us! I've been a fan for many years, and the thing I like best is how unusual it is to find a book that sells products, but also explains how to make your own, if you would rather. IOW, the book wasn't written to sell products, but to help solve...

RR: keeping fluids topped may not seem like much when you think of a gallon of coolant here & there, but over the course of a year all those fluids add up to a tax deduction, which is simpler for the owner of the vehicle to claim than the driver, IMO. LDB has a common sense policy towards the...

There's lots of areas to cause friction: DH, turning down loads, going home - an experienced fleet owner will have these issues settled in his own mind, so it's up to the driver to decide whether he can work within those parameters. But it's always smart to find out what the rules are before the...

Those are the reasons cited for objecting to truckstops - homeless people don't drive. The reasons are generally stated as residents' complaints about public intoxication & urination [but maybe if there were a bathroom, they'd use it], only we all know better: businesspeople don't want them...

Maybe you could ask Jack if transparent ones could work on the windshield, kinda like Slushbusters for bugs, lol. ;)

Window decals! Because not everyone's got an antenna, but we all have windows. Well, except those vans who troll the neighborhood with candy....:eek:
