    Tab Key

    The tab key on my laptop doesn't work. When I press it, it will give slightly and then stop. Not enough to engage the tab function. There is a good chance a chunk of Pop Tart or a chicken bone could be stuck under the key, limiting it's travel. Can these keys be pried of off and the...

    First Outs

    In the past two weeks I have received a F.O. upon delivery for a 175 mile load and 176 mile load. I did not negotiate either of these F.O.'s. Is this a new policy for under 200 mile loads or a Christmas present just for me?

    Verizon 4G LTE

    I received an offer from Verizon the other day to upgrade my current 3G, 5GB, $60/month mobile broadband plan to their new 4G, 5GB, $50/month plan. I know that more G's are way more better and that saving an extra $10/month is super cool, but...would going 4G have any negative impact on 3G...

    Eagle Eye

    In a FedEx only thread, IRT wrote: "I realy enjoy using the Eagle Eye system to look at live views of where I am picking up at and where Im delivering too. so I can see what Im up against." I think I might like to upgrade to the Eagle Eye system but I am not sure exactly what it is. At...

    Northwest Tollway M.M. Change

    Illinois has changed the Northwest Tollway mile marker numbers to correspond with the I-90 number system doing away with the tollway's version of reality. No exit numbers yet, but that could come in the future.

    CVS Pharmacy Minute Clinic

    I have been fighting off a sinus infection for the past two weeks. Yesterday it moved into my left eye and became more than a minor aggravation. Today I searched online and found a CVS pharmacy Minute Clinic about 5 miles away. This was a simple and pleasant alternative to locating a doctor...

    6L90 6 Speed

    Is anyone running the 6L90 6 speed automatic transmission in a Chevrolet/GMC van? I am looking for some real world experience. Can this transmission be manually controlled? As in preventing it from shifting into 6th OD or 5th OD. Does it come with the Tow/Haul mode to lengthen the shift...

    Chevy A-arm stop

    Yesterday while changing oil I noticed both A-arms were making contact with the rubber stop block thingies while the wheels were flat on the ground. I have been on my back under this van about 75 times contemplating expediting, life, corrosion and ladder frames while the oil drained and never...

    Edited Posts

    I used an innocuous word beginning in "f" and ending in "ing" in a post the other day. Perhaps gratuitously, but I can be a bit impulsive. The bad word got deleted. I got reprimanded and obtained 1 E.O. Naughty Point which I plan on cashing in at the E.O. Online catalog to buy Mrs. Jaminjim a...

    On Hold Record Shattered

    I got my van out of the body shop this afternoon and called Panther to get the Safety Hold removed and go back into service. I was on hold for 72 minutes, that's 1 hour and 12 minutes! I did the math. During that time I got re-routed 3 times back to a customer service person. I told the...
