"Just standing & watching machines stamp out parts is amazing" - if you're not getting paid to do it, in which case it's drudgery, lol. My favorite place made what I thought were igloo shaped doghouses, when I saw them scattered outside on the grass - they turned out to be nosecones for aircraft...

I believe that CCW, like logging, or scaling, is a matter for states to decide, so obviously, there isn't any federal legislation. What is legal in one state, is not in another. Because we never know what state we may be in later in the day, the risk of carrying concealed is far greater than the...

I wouldn't think that even the dumbest driver on Earth would haul hazmat for the extra money - because Dave is right, all the safety precautions don't mean diddly when you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I do it because it's a necessary part of my job, and I cannot refuse the...

Mr Goodtude, I agree that the open discussion of ideas & opinions is a big part of what makes this site, and the USA, so great - as long as we remember to question the statement - not the person. So here's my question: if Conway bids freight at a discount to keep their drivers going, what makes...

Mr Goodtude, I agree, the open exchange of thoughts is a big part of what makes this site, [and this country] great. I'm not being a smart*** when I ask: if Conway bids freight at a discount, to keep drivers moving, how is that different from "joe schmo" company? I don't believe any company...

RE: GMC 3500 with 16' Box or a Sprinter, which is Whatever configuration you decide to go with, I'd pay more attention to where you're going to sleep - if your bed isn't comfortable, you're going to be unhappy. And when you're uncomfortable & unhappy, you don't stay out on the road as much as...

Prof, any good copilot knows that if you're too old to check out the babes showing off, then you're too old to drive, too. Good to know you're still out there!;)

The best thing about writing is the time it gives you to come up with a "snappy comeback" - in person, I take Miss Manners advice when offended: say "How kind of you to take such an interest", while letting them know with a cold stare, that it isn't what you'd like to say - but YOU have class...

RE: Questions to ask and answers to get before acc Doo Wop, That's a REALLY thought provoking post! The short answer is that the greater your need to make money, the more you're willing to put up with from a codriver, but the longer answer will have to come later - I need to think about what...

I think men are useful - the first time I tried to open the hood, [on a Frieghtliner Classic], I reached up & grabbed hold of the hood ornament, & pulled, & pulled more, & found myself dangling there, feet in the air, & still the hood didn't lift - and it was a man who showed me how to lift it...

Linder: that must have been a really hard bonk on the noggin, to make you think you can't do it! I mean, how many new things have you done that went perfectly the first time? Now, choosing to be spoiled is a whole nother story - go for it, lol. [I'm sure you spoil your partner some ways too...

I like to listen to audiobooks, [have to remember not to get so into the story that you forget to watch for your exit, though, like one idiot I know did - missed it by 45 miles, lol] When I feel a bit sleepy, I put on music I can dance to, like early Beatles, & I try to get all the muscles...

What makes you think Jimi knew WHAT he was singing about?! :7

Thanks Dreamer! The first design is specially for Mr Goodtude (& Mrs Goodtude, of course), I'm still working on one that's more general, and my own has to be done over too - I got another star since then! That's my reward for not using photoshop to add a couple more in the first place, or a...

This is a breakfast for expediters, remember? Anything more than coffee is gravy, lol. (With biscuits, I hope!)

Um, Danny - how does an expediter get a sleep schedule, anyway? For a solo driver, there aint no such thing, lol.

I knew that would happen - I can create a design, & put it on a shirt - but I can't transfer files on the bleeping computer! If anyone wants to see it, send me a pm with your email - I'm pretty sure I can email attachments, lol. :7

How about this design, on a shirt? It's the first EO design I've tried, [I already put my avatar on a shirt, for the Expo, but I have to do it over - I got another star, lol] I could try some other designs, if anyone has any ideas, or suggestions...:7

It really WAS an interesting & entertaining story - even the part about the "labiodental fricative f" - which made me wondor if I've been mispronouncing it?! (Because I haven't got a clue as to what a labiodental fricative f should sound like!) I'm already handicapped by the inability to...

Highway Star: if I have a really exceptional year, I may not have to sell the Neon! :P
