    Just passing through

    They do have provisions for "just passing thru" i'm not sure what the officially call it. The process is just for Customs only. You will still need Authority to be on the roads. Down side of the process is as has been my experience - it takes about as long at the border as doing the regular...

    About to take the plung

    I'm with you there dodgeboy! I purchased a class 8 a couple years ago for 3K, an it's still running fine. No failures. No down time I didn't want. No nuth'in but revenue for a couple years now, and counting. Fix'in it - sure! But systematic _ sure! Nothing magic about it. All those that...

    your pay speed

    The second Friday after is plenty of time to make it all work. Some tho, expect to be paid the same week. Tuff to work that out. We always paid on the second Friday after, and if it was not satisfactory they had to go on down the road. Expecting anyone to work with that short of a fuze is...

    your pay speed

    A glitch like that is prolly a bit disheartining IF you are running close to zeros in the account. But, remember, if you keep the pipeline full there will always be the right amount comming out on a regular basis. That is why it has been mentioned numerous times, that you have to have a reserve.

    Indiana Closing 6 rest areas

    Don't get me wrong here, I in no way advocate tossing the bottle. Using it yes. Tossing it no!! But, it'll happen. Betcha. I've used about a dozen of em in my whole life (rest areas) so I won't miss em much. Not in my MoO. Goodies way overpriced, poor selection, vending coffee. Why...

    In Control?

    Not much stronger i'd imagine, but a whole lot smarter I betcha. I wuz lucky. Never got the Harley, or other big boyz toyz bug. For that i am thankfull, and for having learned the true value of a buck from my Pops whom went thru the 30's on an Iowa farm. Fortunately, I didn't view my home as...

    Need a good laugh ?

    I feel that "stewpid" demands for working conditions, and helping some bozo falsify are two completely different realms of your imagination. Ya gotta get them a little closer together missie. I believe the issue here wuz, unrealistic requirements for equipment, driving geography, etc., not...

    Indiana Closing 6 rest areas

    Well now, seems the old nemisis for some folks it seems, the infamous pee bottle is going to make a resurgence going across Indiana. I'm happy i live off the hiways and biways a bit. It's just nature folks, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Rest area or no. I'm convinced if you pool your...

    Need a good laugh ?

    I'll be the last person to think "funny" of someone whom is challenged. However, audacity and arrogance is open season with me. Ya just can't put words in others mouths. You can completely write it for them, but as hawk mentions that is doing no good for anyone. But it is typical...

    Need a good laugh ?

    Not funny IYO (in your oppinion). And thats it. I'd imagine there are more that find those type adds funny than not. Funny to the point of not getting any responses. Poor wording or not, they are still very unreasonable demands that are expected it seems. An that IS funny. Ya better git to...

    Need a good laugh ?

    They are actually funny to read. However, it gets not so funny when you actually run into one of those types that didn't type the funny stuff up front, and only let you know the funny stuff after they get on the road. Your humor is OK DD, because there is nothing unfortunate about these type...

    Looking Back, Looking Ahead

    And the neat part of being pre-dispatched, or knowing what is ahead, allows one to enjoy the road much more than having to sit and watch the red light. That is what absolutely drove me nuts when I was leased to Roberts. They may have had the load on the board on Friday, but wouldn't dispatch...
