    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    "We transflo straight from the truck." You trasnflo straight from the truck? How do you get a batch number, a receipt? Does that come via a return e-mail from Transflow? Where do you send the scans? This is sounding kewl. Details, details! Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    "But if loads like that are all you're offered, what happens to your acceptance rate, when you keep turning them down?" I'm with T'Hawk 'n Terry (sounds like a bed and bath pawn shop). I can't make a living by accepting loads that lose me money, regardless of my acceptance rate. It's currently...

    Anybody finding any Ice anywhere???

    I dropped off a load just outside Tulsa Saturday morning and contemplated sitting it out right there. But as the weather started moving in a little after midnight it became clear that Tulsa was starting to look like ground zero for that mess. I scooted on down to Dallas then got a 2AM Monday...

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    I signed a contract that pays me a certain rate, and I do my best to live up to it. Just the same, I won't lose money on a run. If I ask for a bonus in order to run a load, and they won't give it up because another van might run it, that's fine. If another van will run a luzer, more power to...

    You can't call it "baseless" (or even a witch hunt) merely because you weren't informed of the base for the search. You don't know. Therefore you cannot assume. You just assume they were there to randomly harass people, but you don't know that for a fact. It might not have been random at all...

    Breaking News From CNN......Mike Vick gets 23 mths

    RE: Breaking News From CNN......Mike Vick gets 23 Football is a very intense and violent sport. People by the millions pay to watch such violence. They are enthralled by it, captivated by it. And are yet shocked and horrified when a gridiron gladiator is unable to flip the switch and spend his...

    Dry Eyes

    Ever put the milk in the cabinet, and the cereal in the fridge? Well, if you use an empty Gatorade bottle as a pee bottle, well, yeah, there ya go. Wake up in the middle of the night and you're thirsty, be very, very careful. I know what yer thinkin', and no, I haven't done it. I have...

    Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. - Benjamin Franklin Actually, he never said that. There are probably 30 variants of that line that are often attributed to him, but he never said it, just the same. The original quote...

    I moss say I'm taking a lichen to this thread, even though most are in spore taste. Algae the first to say they have mushroomed out of control. The Taco Bell Chihuahua, a Doberman and a Bulldog are in a bar having a drink when a great-looking female Collie comes up to them and says, "Whoever...

    Dry Eyes

    The more you use it, the more you need it, is right. Eye drops like Murine and Visine are called vasoconstrictors , and work by constricting the blood vessels (vascular) thereby reducing redness and irritation. When the chemicals wear off, the previously constricted blood vessels relax, dilate...

    Panther Drivers

    I had one just the other day where I was sitting in Memphis (Horn Lake, MS Flying J) and the load was 385 miles from Heber Springs, AR to Garland, TX. Paid my van rate of %0.77 plus $0.17 FSC. Not a bad load at all, but it came with 155 miles DH. The 155 DH in and of itself wouldn't prevent me...

    Body dandruff...

    The oils in your skin is what traps the moisture in and keeps the skin cells alive and healthy. Healthy, intact skin is your body's primary defense against infection. Having dry butt skin is akin to pitching a tent next to a dumpster. Prolonged showers, particularly with very hot water, and...

    Other than something that's on the Space Station (more on that later), the best there you can do is something made by "Mirco & Alex Magnani" and can be found at www.micromagnani.it It's best if you can speak (read) Italian, as they are an Italian company. But if not, select the British flag...

    Oh, I dunno. A police chief likely isn't really authorized to answer many of the "why" type or other questions about a special detail, particularly one that's working on behalf of another branch of law enforcement like the DEA and Homeland Security. What looks random to a driver who just woke up...

    Of Interest to Van Owner-Operators

    Yeah, except that if you put the bed over there, it'll pretty much block the way in and out of the sliding door. Plus, either your feet or your head would then be right next to passenger door, which is probably the coldest spot in the van. You can't really insulate the passenger and driver doors...
