Love the ideas, but I gotta say it would have to be a VERY long layover..........:P

Anywhere in Nebraska! :'(

So, when we tune in tomorrow, will EO be calling itself "As the wheel turns?" Seriously - I checked out the other site for awhile, was even invited to write for them, but I think EO is just better all around. It looks like DD was expecting Lawrence to respond as teenagers do : "I don't like...

Just a question for those who "poke fun" at gay people: do you also "poke fun" at people with physical deformities or handicaps?

Same goes for me - I recently got a Razr with the Bluetooth, but can't hear clearly over the highway noise, & find it aggravating to "tell" the phone to switch the Bluetooth off - it pretty much defeats the purpose of handsfree! The phone itself has one big advantage, though - it's flat enough...

Last week, my teenage daughter dragged me to the mall, where I laughed out loud (& took a picture, too) at the perfect shirt for those who are fed up with drivers who have attitude: it has the FedEx logo, but says FedUp instead! (There was also one for UPS; Oops- we lost it again!)...

It's you. Just kidding! But it reminds me of something I heard a long time ago, & have never been able to verify - did the Supreme Court determine that "forcing" people in prison to work for the cost of their room & board constitutes cruel & unusual punishment? Because I would consider it the...

There's a gazillion stories like these in the books called "The Darwin Awards" (so called because do many of those profiled did not survive their own moronic acts, or will be unable to reproduce due to lengthy imprisonment). I love the books - whether truth or fiction, the stories are...

The Ohio Turnpike toll collector once charged me an extra $30 "overheight" fee, after my truck was parked for the weekend, collecting about 6" of snow on the trailer! By the time I got off the turnpike, it had blown off, but she said I'd triggered the overheight signal when I got on, & so was...

Terry - 3 sets of keys locked in the van? Teeheehee...:P

2 weeks ago, I switched my cellphone to Cingular, and got Roadside Assist, for $3.00 per month. I told them I drive a commercial van, they said "It's free the first month, if they don't cover comm. vehicles, you can cancel". Before I could learn whether my van is covered, I blew a wheel bearing...

You didn't wreck "my illusions of grandeur" - never had any."Naive newbie" - maybe, maybe not - but does it mean I'm wrong? "2 kinds of drivers" - I've seen many combinations, few who are strictly one or the other."Go back to selling Mary Kay & having Tupperware parties" - this comment...

Hosting foreign exchange students is a wonderful thing to do, I wish I could. (It's also a pretty good comeback to the accusation that you are narrow minded!) All my experiences & impressions of Canada have been very good - it's the US Border authorities that make it a visit to dread. :o

Congratulations! Now, if you can make that wonderful owner as happy as you are, you've got a successful career going! Good luck to you :)

You and your fellow "filthy pig" drivers offend me in every way! You're the reason many customers won't provide bathroom facilities for drivers, truckstop parking areas are littered with garbage, and most people outside the industry consider all drivers to be dirty subhumans. If you don't have...

I'm glad I went through there Friday, not Sunday - accidents like that give me nightmares. I can't even imagine how it must be for those involved. As much as I like ripping the government for it's shortcomings, though, I have to say this: the best maintained roads on earth won't prevent...

Moot: I am green with envy, because you have the time to post great entries like that, while I'm running around trying to buy all the blinker fluid I can find, lol.:P

The HOS rules on sleep time would be sensible & effective IF human beings could sleep on command. I can't, & don't know anyone who can, either. FriscoMike is correct: drivers need to be able to sleep when thier body says to, not when the regulations dictate sleep!

The unions are also blamed when people see workers in the bar while on the clock, and that's wrong, too. It's the company that sets production standards, using time/motion experts to determine what constitutes an acceptable day's work. The standard is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve for...

Raceman, I was JOKING! But, I am also a Class A driver, & have always flashed both lights after moving in front of someone. And, years ago, I went to a car dealership to see for myself whether turn signals had been made an option, cause I wasn't seeing them very often, & thought maybe they...
