Your analogy is more refined than mine. I would like to see a "gated" locations thread or forum, as an experiment at least if not as a permanent EO feature.

Diane and I purchased our truck new in 2006 and have not needed to replace the pipes yet. We did however just replace the muffler. truckpipes, I believe you will find my my September 1 and September 2 blog entries to be of interest. It describes the circumstances and details of the decision...

Perrysville Ohio TA for fuel, showers and breakfast. Then moving out of the area toward a pick up.

If someone in our free country (such as it is these days) wants to buy up a bunch of land, develop a gated community, and then require the residents who buy into the community to abide by the rules established therein, the developer has every right to do so, every right to expect the rules to be...

Diane and I are at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Layoutshooter. I'll keep him busy while you post count contestents use this opportunity to surge ahead. Go! Go! Go!

You are correct. I seldom post our location. I did so today today because it's a long weekend. Diane and are not under load. We are doing some socializing. We happen to be at or near truck stops, which is also not our norm. I also wanted to show support for Leo's experiment. I seldom post our...

Perrysburg, OH; TA for showers, Petro for breakfast with friends. Then moving north 20 miles for lunch with other friends.

Maybe someone should start a dedicated forum in which those who value their post counts can compete to generate the highest number of posts.

Dieseldiva puts it well. My thoughts exactly.

Actually, that is exactly what he is doing. He told Diane and me so himself when he showed us the device.

I have no concern about my immediate fate under CSA 2010. As you pointed out, I have only one small violation to worry about (four points that will drop to just two next year when the three-year multiplier is applied, and then to zero after three years). That gives me a large margin of error...

That might work if the coming new rules they talked about in the past were the same ones that are in effect now, and if we could count on even those rules remaining the same after they are first announced. CSA 2010 was originally scheduled to go into full effect in January, 2010, I believe...

Maybe this would help -- bumper stickers on our trucks that say "Do not read ExpeditersOnline.com. Info there your carrier does not want you to know."

We have done loads like that too, only we were the truck coming in with the lift gate. Sometimes you don't get a load because you have a lift gate, sometimes the load IS the liftgate for which you get paid to run to run.

Our home in Minnesota is rented space in a relative's house. There is acreage there on which Diane and I were permitted by the relative to pour a concrete slab on which to park the truck. Water and electric is adjacent to the slab, which makes it nice for shore power, truck washing and water...

The retroactivity bothers me too. If you drive through an uncontrolled intersection on Monday, they erect a stop sign on Wednesday, and give you a ticket on Friday for the violation you are said to have committed on Monday, is that fair? If they changed the rules of NFL football and then went...

I got ticketed two years ago for an inoperative marker light, top-left-rear, and was not put out of service (those four points are the only CSA points I have on my record in the last three years). I know that because Terry O'Connell looked up Diane's and my record for us at our request. (Diane...

You should talk to Lawrence. I think he'd like to have you as a writer for Expedite NOW.

I have not noticed but am interested to hear what you base your observation on. There have always been some expediters that are as you describe but as a group they seem to be savvy, sociable, etc. What changes have you noticed exactly?

It's surprising to learn how many expediters are out here who have never heard of EO.
