    CB/HAM 2 meter band Ham radio

    He is? Oh well, he mentioned that all he does is 2m. I have a Kenwood TR-9000 and a magnet mount I use every once in a while and it seems that outside of using it to talk to people on the way down to Indiana, I pretty much leave on the 146.52 or if I am sitting 142.2 on sb. I've done well on...

    wanting to come back

    Well seeing we have a couple people who have gone through the process, it may be prudent to hear from them on the subject. Seeing that the info I get has come from a few companies, it is safe to consider that it is the insurance company who dictates to the carrier what they need to do and not...

    wanting to come back

    I didn't say you were but the way I read into it was that you wouldn't disclose the fact. The bigger issue is the carrier, if they are using vans and require a CDL, then they should also require a DOT physical.

    wanting to come back

    Because of all the crap I go through every year to drive I have a serious bad attitude about the issue of lying on the DOT physical on this issue, so from my point of view, if you lie on the DOT physical, you should be banned from driving a commercial vehicle for life. With that said, apply...

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    You make me laugh Streak, I mean how many people can afford to go and fight some of this crap - not many. Even if your lawyer works for free, as mine has for a long time, the cost of these things including the travel adds up and not worth the fight. I can think of a few situations that the...

    staying warm tips!

    It isn't about sleeping, many can do that with a sleeping blanket but it is about getting up in the morning having everything frozen and you are too cold to get dressed that matters.

    Health Insurance - FDCC

    You know I don't see the big rub about things here, many people who enter into this world do not know where to look for insurance and FedEx is extending their program of helping get the access to the insurance to those who are contracting with them. The information may sound secretive or it may...

    Round and around we go on the economy

    I think the interview that Donahue did with Ayn Rand should be watched more than Milton Friedman at this point.

    Rand McNally TND 700/710 junk?

    I think the "discussion" that we had in the past should have been read by the execs at Rand McNally to show them what the problem is. I have a couple TND7x0 sitting in the parts boxes now and the chinese made generic Nav unit I have right now works so much better and is more accurate than the...

    Cain leading in Polls, whats up with that?

    I think he is leading because he is speaking of things people want to hear right now. He took a different approach which is to say Obama did this but we can do that. Amazing as it sounds, the others should have listened to him and not argue about lawn cutting people or who has a better track...

    Michigan front lic.plate for straight truck

    Should have stopped where? Go tell that to the SoS people who handed me plates for my tractors - they said in the back because they are power only units. The MSP officer who did the inspections said in the back for the same reason so when you drive or own something more than a van, tell me...

    Contracts do people read them?

    As for having contractors sign each paragraph of the contract seems redundant to me. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just not necessary from a legal standpoint. Then again, IANAL. But I'm sure if it are necessary our lawyer would have included that option. Actually this idea came from a...

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    Amonger, I say that to remind people that there are extra things that we have to deal with, no matter how stupid or asinine they are. I don't like three quarters of what I have to put up with but do it to get through this job. Today was no different, truck inspected (I mean INSPECTED) at the...

    How in the hell do you get 10 people in a minivan when most will only hold 7?

    Something to think about.

    So what does the two you quoted have to do with each other? It doesn't take away from the fact that the first one was an email that made the rounds and it seems to be BS.

    Something to think about.

    Amonger - obama is a Marxist, not a communist. He has acted as a Fascist and not a socialist. Seeing this was written last year and it seems to be more or less a bunch of BS, I have to ask who can show me that in 1955 cuba was in the news? Who didn't know Castro wasn't a commie when he took...

    Mich Governor proposes tax raise

    Michigan has been steadily raising less money each year for roads as motorists drive less or switch to electric or more fuel-efficient vehicles. Hey dumbsh*ts you ever think that it is because we have about 2.3 million less people in the state is also a contributing factor in all of this...

    Canada Cross Border Straight Trucks!!

    I do and that's almost what I get for my trips to Windsor and it is a lot less than 56 miles. I think round trip is 45 miles. When you are asking a owner to tie up their truck for at least three hours, then there should be more compensation than $1.20 a mile and a percentage of FSC is a losing...
