Look, here's the straight-up on it. You take a Toronto to Gainesville, GA--- gotta figure a ton of dead-head, you're gonna lose. Toronto to ANYWHERE in Florida--- fergeddaboudit. It's cheaper to pile your dollars in the street and set fire to it. Nothing comes out of FL, and what little does is...

Hmmmm....... There was a movie a few years back. "Repo Man" I think but not absolutely sure. That car would be pulled over by ANY cop looking for radioactive material-- it glowed so bright it could be seen from space..

Straight up: Any time the powers-that-be think they have to lie to you because, in their minds, you don't know what's good for you--- nothing good can come of it. Obamacare was sold on a pack of lies. What did you think would happen next? Before certain parties here gits any idears---- I'm...

That's odd. When I was a kid, we got Veteran's Day off. When did that change?

Pilgrim, if history was only 6 years old we'd be all set. Problem: It goes on a good deal longer than that. Further, it's not Washington-specific. Watching these parties over a longer time, it does look like they're part of the same beast. I voted solid Republican during the Republican...

'Nuff said. Looks to me like Democrats and Republicans are two heads of the same beast.

Re: Heavy Snow,Strong Winds To Hammer South Dakota, Minnesota,Northern Wisconsin,Mich Cold at least will get all of us North of the Mason/Dixon this week as another "Polar Vortex" comes South.

There's a Flying J on the East side of Fort Wayne that's a good place to look. I see several there every time I'm coming through. The "J" seems to be a favorite hangout for expediters anywhere, for that matter.

I have a couple of load bars that are sectional, so they fit anything from a pick-up truck to a 102" trailer. Three sections comprise the bar, with the middle section making up the part that allows such great expandability. With E-track clips on the ends fitted into your track, this would be a...

Open primaries are how you get McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012. McCain could not have won the Republican nomination without moderate and liberal cross-over votes, and of course none of those folk are gonna vote Republican in the general election-- thereby assuring the Democrat of a win...

Being told endlessly that my only choice is between the Democrat and the Republican is getting very old. What happens if BOTH major candidates are reprehensible? I voted (absentee) because I couldn't be sure I would be able to vote in person today. For the most part I voted straight (R), which...

I've mentioned before that I used the pink foam boards. I used 3/4" panels, in hindsight I should have used 1 1/2" but that's for next time now. A few days back the panels paid for themselves another way. A "boom car" pulled up behind me, the deep base from his huge speakers rattling...

This is gonna be something to watch. I have a suspicion it's going to be big trouble-- sorry, Cheri, but facts are aggravating, stubborn, resistant to change to suit you facts. A male-female team driving situation where you don't start as husband/wife or at least boyfriend/girlfriend is trouble...

Unless it's your wife or girlfriend, you're asking for a lot more trouble than you really need. You're gonna be cooped up in close quarters with a person of the opposite sex for long periods of time, and-- unless you already have a close relationship you'll either have intense love or intense...

Slowdown? Where? Not so I'd notice, these past few weeks have been rather busy for me. Now, this past Summer was another matter, I sat a lot. So much that now, these busier weeks are only just now building my bank account back up to where it should be. But at least it IS building again, so I've...

The real problem here is that this is a pending felony. What part exactly is pending hasn't been said, but-- assuming he's been indicted, trials can be rather messy affairs and then if convicted the felon can be sent away for a period of time. That doesn't make for a cheery "hiring" prospect in...

When the outfit I used to drive for got a new building, they spent a considerable amount of money refitting the building. 4 truck docks and a fleet of vans-----. Well, they put several van doors in the building. You might only need one, but if you can do it one door that you can easily load and...

It's still worth checking. Death by CO poisoning is preventable, and getting the van's exhaust checked is worth it. Check any other possible sources too-- you had the CO detector for a reason, did you possibly forget to turn off an auxiliary heater before you started driving? Get that heater...

If the load can be done by hand--- I'll do it. Otherwise--- dagnabit, Scotty, how much longer until you get that transporter fixed?

This ain't good. Seems I hear a lot of folk deadhead out of Florida, just to get out of Florida before trying to get any work. There's nothing in "The Sunshine State" that pays the cost of fuel to haul it, so-- unless you have relatives down there and want to visit for a bit, why stay...
