Schlep, wasn't he a fill-in for the Three Stooges.

RE: Would like to talk with O/O leased with Panthe Charles, You came to the right place. I see you have been a member for some time so I assume you have been reading all the posts concerning vans. I think you should ask specific questions, post them and wait for the answers. Good luck!

Taking a Greyhound trip and reading "Catch 22" should be a requirement for high school graduation. All though not simultaneously. What better way to prepare for life in the real world. My son is a freshman in college with a double major in law enforcement and Spanish. I think it is time for...

The best expedite company to work for is the one that offers the most miles, highest pay rate, lowest deadhead, all miles paid, paid layover, friendly dispatch, national, regional and local freight, free QC, free insurance, free health club membership, and a free insulated coffee cup with sipper...

Aviator, Thank you for your service to our country. It was refreshing to see your link of the IRA and money funnelled from this country to Ireland and how Islamic terrorists are funded. Even though the IRA were white Catholics they were still terrorists. And much of their funding came from all...

Could the government's payments to 9/11 victims really be an insurance industry bailout? If a victim's survivors accept the government money is that in lieu of life insurance payouts? Or are victim's survivors entitled to those also? Many people visiting the World Trade Center that day were...

I-90, Exit 1, South Beloit, Illinois. I got free service one afternoon about 3 or 4 weeks ago. No luck yesterday!

I have always turned my headlights off when approaching a manned toll booth or guard shack after dark. I guess that's just old fashioned courtesy. As for the highbeams, if you feel unsafe briefly turning the headlights off it may be better to not signal at all. Highbeams should be reserved...

Linda, When Molly is gone are you sure you can live without another dog? We had a rat terrier for 17 years. When I had to have her put down my son remarked " you have known Sammi longer than me". We lasted about a year without a dog. We thought we would enjoy not having the commitment. We...

I attempted to get on at the J in South Beloit yesterday. No luck this time. All I got was their sign in page.

If I figured out my hourly rate I would have to drown my sorrows with NyQuil.

Greg, have you ever taken one of your cats along? They may be a bit less of a hassle than a dog but in my opinion a dog is a better companion. The Caffee's sure pointed out all that is involved in taking a pet along. But if you are willing to devote the time and expense I'm sure it is worth...

Don't worry about quitting your job. Real jobs are a dime a dozen. You can always find another one. Now the bus ride all the way up to Akron, that's something else. Under normal circumstances like visiting Aunt Evelyn I would suggest drugs and or alcohol. Both make a Grey Dog ride more...

Yeah Greg the highbeams will definately get their attention. So will airplane landing lights. You can buy a spring loaded interrupter switch and wire it to your marker light switch. Or if you have a seperate switch for marker lights and running lights you could jump those with the spring...

I personally would rather have no signal than the death ray. It seemed just as I would look in my mirror to see if I cleared I would get the bright lights. See Spots. See Spots run. ARF!

Greg, I hope by flashing you meant turning your headlights off and not blinding someone with the high beams. If there is no immediate traffic behind the truck that is passing me I won't bother to signal. Especially if there is slow traffic in the right lane in front of me. During the day I...

I think in the near future more truckstops will be offering free WiFi. Many cities are providing free service. Elk Grove Village, Ill has free WiFi. The town is located just west of O'Hare and borders Bensenville.

You need to know what the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your van is. It should be listed on the driver's door or door frame. Once you have the GVWR, weigh the van with you and all your gear. Subtract the actual van weight from the GVWR and that is the maximum weight of the freight you...

I agree with HotFR8. All state and federal taxes are included in the pump price regardless if it is purchased at the truck pumps or auto pumps. The only tax exempt diesel fuel I am aware of is for agricultural use. That fuel contains red dye and you don't want to get caught with that in your...

I would do it again! No regrets. I had 13 years in at CCX. My pension will not be near what it would had I stayed for 20 or more years. Seven more years at a job I no longer enjoyed didn't seem worth it. I had been contributing 15% to my 401k. When I became an O/O I rolled that into an IRA.
