    New VuQube

    Heard a rumor that VuQube was going to come out with a new mobile sat system, i.e., can watch rolling down the road. Guy who is a dealer said this several months ago, said would be about a third less than the others. Anybody heard anything? I don't see anything on the net.

    Finish This Sentence...

    Our greatest challenge of '08 will be our race to reduce debt in order to stay solvent in the face of economic uncertainty. To find a presidential candidate who will agressively promote a policy of America becoming energy self-sufficient in the nearest possible future, NOT anyone who is...

    New Food Stop

    David, Thanks for the post regarding Fresh Air. I grew up in Atlanta in the 60's and both of my parents grew up in South GA (Baxley) so we drove there quite often as both of their parents were in poor health all through my childhood. We often stopped there and the Brunswick stew was fantastic...

    A question for FXCC contractors and drivers

    We have been asked if we could take an envelope and then where was the nearest drop box. We were in an unfamiliar area so we couldn't help. Doesn't happen too often on the dock, but there is still some confusion with us and Freight or Ground. Got to spend a week in Green for a corporate photo...

    MBE 900 EGR cooler leak

    How often is this occurring for y'all? How much is it costing you each time? Our truck is supposed to be ready at 5 pm and is covered under warranty but wondering if I should be thinking about trading. I think I read in the archives where this is something like $2K up.

Currently waiting in a hotel in Hagerstown MD with our 07 Acterra in the shop, diagnosis is at least a blown EGR cooler leak, waiting on final word. Scenario is like I read from the...

    Retirement Benefits for Expediters

    Phil, yeah, very much a debt-free living guy. He rails on the credit card companies especially, basically says that they are immoral in the way they prey on people's ignorance and lack of financial discipline. Also a Christian, but, as he puts it, a lot of Christians think he doesn't talk...

    Retirement Benefits for Expediters

    Hey, Phil, just wondering if you were a Dave Ramsey follower? We just recently started listening to him on satellite radio and a lot of what I hear there I read from you here. Or is it just plain ol' common sense, like Ramsey himself says?

    Electrical issues

    After reading all the linked material, my head is about to explode! If we go the dual battery bank route, where do I go to have this done? I was guessing an RV shop, most likely, or to Bentz, but we live in the Atlanta area. How much should I expect to spend, parts and labor?

    which engines?

    Greg, Thanks for the imput. I am not a great mechanic (or even average) but I have been around enough to know that sometimes you just get a P.O.S. (piece of s***)of anything that was built by men. The MBE may be a great engine overall but sometimes you just crap out at the engine table. All...
