I've recently had to start bringing a 21' carry-on bag (the small kind that would fit in an overhead compartment) with me when I slug. I usually put it on my lap and sometimes is sits at my feet. Is this a no-no? No one has turned me away but I still feel a bit awkward. How much is too much?

That size bag doesn't bother me, and I suspect most drivers feel about the same way. As long as you can handle it in the space you occupy in the car and not burden anyone else with it, I don't think it's a big deal. [:)] But then, there are those drivers who get pissy at most anything. [V] Good luck. [8D]

I carry a backpack, which seems to be about the standard size for carry on stuff. Have never had any complaints.

I'd prefer not a 21 FOOT as noted ( ' ) but what the hell? Why not.
I have seen some slugs carry luggage on their little ventures and was shocked that the driver allowed this only because some slugs had to wait for the next ride to come along. And on that note: I had to wait for 38 minutes to get a ride Monday. What's up with that? WE NEED MORE DRIVERS PLEASE!!![:0] I'd carry my matress and pillow to the slug line if I could. |

I carried two duffle bags , a box I had to ship out and a rolling wheel luggage bag when i slugged two weeks ago. The driver finally got so annoyed with the items stuffed in his back seat he kicked me out in the HOV lane and I had to hitch a ride with the mail man.

Ok first of all , no one is kicking you out on the freeway. It's against the law. And second: the mailman, are you kidding me? What's the mailman doing in the HOV lanes?
I suppose he was riding with the milkman as well? What's the deal with spaghetti-O's? it's not spaghetti. They should call them round O's |

I'm a driver and don't care what you have with you, however, I think if you're carrying large bags you should take the back seat and let the other rider take the front. More room to put your things. I had a rider in my front seat who was sleeping and twice his very large backpack slid off onto my gear shift.

Pete would be worried that you were carrying a bomb.
P.S. Are you carrying a bomb? P.P.S. Pete has not picked up any slugs for over two months. Seemed everyday that all the slugs were either ugly, uglier, or ugliest! When the sexy people start slug'n, Pete will again start lug'n. LET'S SLUG, BABY!!! |

Ever notice that Pete refers to himself in the third person? " Pete goes to the hoop" "Pete slam dunks" "Pete is on fire!"
