With technology available today, the code requirement is really unnecessary...I don't think the old-timers will every be willing to give it up, though...kind of like 'I walked 27 miles to school, each way, through a blinding snow storm, uphill both ways, so quit complaining'...I didn't know 220...

Regarding the Ranger agent that I am familiar with, they regularly page trucks or drivers call them directly looking for loads...some drivers still use the Landstar board, but it isn't absolutely necessary in order to get a load...probably depends on the agent.. Loose

Outstanding... Loose

Yea, I liked the ultra-hi-freq stuff..always wanted to try the quarter meter (as I recall) band...1140 mhz or somewhere around there...pretty much direct line-of-sight at the lower end of the radar band...an associate of mine is pretty active in UHF ...maybe I'll get back there some day... Loose

Michigan got to keep it because they couldn't pronounce "DeTwah"..:)

I used to do a little 2 meter and 220 mhz FM out of southeast FL..but my favorite was 6 meter band when the skip was running...:D Loose

It's pretty damn hard to find ANYTHING made in the USA anymore...I hate sending my bucks overseas, since the largest part of that dollar ends up in some AMERICAN executives pocket, anyway...x( Loose

Congratulations on getting your 'B'...have a ball out there, just remember to be careful..:) Loose

Thanks, Col...just the info I was looking for...Nice truck, btw...thanks again... Loose

Col, would you care to comment on your Argosy? Specifically, what year it is, engine/transmission, average mileage, is it an extended tractor or always a straight, true tandem or tag axle, and anything else you might care to comment on. Thanks... Loose

ex WB4FYC...maybe I'll pick it up again some day... Loose

Prof, good to hear that you had a good trip...I commend you for taking the leap...I was wondering when you'd finally do it...good luck out there...hope you like the Garmin...let us know how it works out for you... Loose

Where do you put the back seat driver, when you don't have a back seat? Loose

If you were getting 7-7.5 and your driver is only getting 4-5 mpg, then it's NOT the rear gears, unless someone swapped it out while your driver was sleeping...:) Loose

Elton, I don't work for GM, Ford, or Daimler/Chrysler, and I'm not a member of the UAW, but I think your post hit THAT nail squarely on the head...the American auto manufacturers no longer build quality or practical vehicles (just look at the number of recalls in the last 15-20 years)...while...

Well, that would make sense...seems like most of that oil patch stuff wouldn't likely be coming off at a loading dock...and it's pretty much weatherproof, so no issues with being on an open FB...I guess it would help to know someone in the (oil) industry to see what's available...of course, we...

I'm rooting for ya, Honda...by this time tomorrow you will likely have received at least 10 negative responses...sorry about that...I'm sure you'll do ok, in spite of that...please continue to keep us informed...:) Loose

Come on, ya gotta give HondaKing an 'A' for exuberance...I bet you all were every bit as excited your first week (or your first BIG paycheck)...or have you forgotten?... Loose

Yea, I'm not real sure what those folks haul...the expedite TT's that I've seen were all empty...I think the interest would be in what's being hauled, from/to where, and what's the demand for it...I've seen those soft-side boxes on straights and TT's (cool, no tarping)...good deal if you need to...

Glen, didn't you know that what they put those other 15 gears in there for is hill climbing?....:)
