RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo Hey, Bruce,it's easy to ask for a supervisor,but in my case the dispatcher was actually a part-owner of the company...

Hey,Dreamer-I've just got it listed locally for now.The picture is at Bender Park,on Lake Michigan in Oak Creek,WI, about two miles from our home.Back to the topic of V6 or V8- I would stay away from the Ford V10.The initial added expense and lower fuel milage(10-12mpg vs 14-17mpg for the 5.4)...

OOPS!

Definetly V8,gas or diesel. We have a Ford Conversion van with a straight-6(4.9litre/300CI) that supposedly is much stronger than the new V6,but for our family car-that thing is a dog when it comes to power.My cargo vans are 5.4litre V8 gassers and even when loaded can run circles around the...

RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo rydytrk-sorry if you thought my response was off-topic. I guess I read a little bit too far into the first paragraph where it was asked for "rude,insensitive or inappropriate", and to "be specific". Back to my story- it's ironic that this was...

RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo OK-here's another one of my stories- and in the end you all will know why I am currently driving a van, while paying an employee to drive my"real truck". I graduated from high school on Jan. 23,1979. On Jan. 24,1979 I began my career as a truck...

I don't know if they work or not, but here's my story- In December of 2000,Wisconsin was having the worst ever one-month snowfall of all time, and lucky me,I was on hwy 13 in northern Wisconsin in a snowstorm around 1:00am when a BIG deer ran out in front of my truck and got hit so quickly...

How about sprinkling beer on your slice of pizza-or, as the night goes on-DUNKING the pizza in your beer. It's pretty good,actually.

When I was in high school and working at an Oldsmobile dealer,I saw a brand new-in the box Ski-Doo snowmobile on the shoulder of I-894 in Milwaukee while out on a test drive in a customers GMC pick up. The mechanic I was with had me stop so we could put it in the back and take it to his house...

I'm sure they do... others can help you more on that,as I only was "inspected" roadside two times,but I did see one 6-wheeler on the shoulder once where the D.O.T. guy was even measuring the height/width and distance side to side of the ICC(DOT)bumper,just to make sure.

BE careful...those D.O.T. measuring tapes don't lie,and what could you possibly do to get back in service if you are ever shut-down for that violation? Paul

I would think that there could be only bad news if someone felt that a public response was in some way a risk to themselves.Anyone here can e-mail me for info ,if they really it...

RE: $1,000,000 question. What Company is best suit Don't let all that experience work against you-there are a lot of companies out there who will only hire those so green that they know nothing,hoping that when they screw you,you will not know it and won't ask questions and keep driving until...

Try birth control.Or did you mean berth?

I think it's just one of those stories that goes around.I heard a similar version-in that one the truck was pulled around for a DOT inspection, and the inspector was under the rear of the tractor when you-know-what fell off of the frame an hit him in the face.I use my CB for info and...
