    now that's too funny


    that's also messed up you have to find your own toilet. specially for the guy that has the runs. when it's time to make waste. some waste just don't wait while you make arrangements to find a suitable arrangment to unload. if the govt really cared for the working people. that would be a mandatory law to install the required equpiment. given that some of the states are closing some of there rest areas. the internation space station is 10 miles from the closest outhouse anywhere in the world but they have there own arrangements. trucks can be 200 miles from the closest exit.

    There are chemical toilets available from several different sources that would take care of that problem as long as you don't mind "going" just inches from where you work and sleep.

    Yes, it is. I'm not going to tip my hand, since every internet forum is generally public and searchable, but my old lawfirm in Philly is teaming up with a new friend of mine in Vegas, and both parties are getting with a Utah attorney, since initiating litigation in Utah is part of my lease contract.

    I've had my posts searched and they've come back to mess with me, not actually bite me, when I was an expert witness (automotive) and working for Edmunds.com as a host and moderator.

    I just want to let the other lease drivers know that there will likely be some alarming changes in the next 3-6 months...if they can stick it out that long.

    I start my new business next month. More on that after the dust settles.

    My hubby just started his lease, First weeks bring home was around 1,300 but he said he got lucky and had a really good first week he said his 2nd week wont be quite as good but still ok so far. I'm wondering about the insurance that they recomend just about deductables co pays and coverage, or mabey some recomendations from some one that has done it before. I am quite scared about purchasing our own insurance with 3 small kids and all.

    I highly recommend just a good AFLAC policy. Save the difference in what you'd spend on a monthly full medical coverage policy...my wife and I have a $54 a month plan that's already paid out $750 for ONE ER visit.

    The family coverage plans I've seen have been upwards of $400 per month...and I could pay for quite a few doctors office visits and dental procedures with the $350 per month difference.

    Your mileage may vary.

    Trip planning, trip planning, trip planning.....why would anyone EVER be stuck at a receiver that is closed all weekend, with no facilities, restaurants, showers, etc? Make a couple of phone calls, they'll save you lots of grief.
