    Hey Panther cargo van drivers

    It's too early to tell, really. But, there are some significant problems that will have to be addressed for the new system to be successful.

    That's simply not true. Midway through Bill's first campaign as he began to garner delegates, the media, particularly the liberal media (led by CNN) began using Bill Clinton's middle name much in the same way you use Obama's middle name, actually, to evoke the emotions and feelings. Using the...

    Search Function

    It's not really word length, as in number of words, but rather the length of any individual word, as in less than 4 letters. You can't search these forums for "God", for example, but you can search for the "Devil". (Sometimes I crack myself up.) Go to Search, then select Advanced Search, then...

    Winter Fronts

    On the Sprinter, the Heater Booster keeps the engine warm in very cold weather, and allows it to warm up and reach operating temperature quicker, thereby allowing you to heat the cabin quicker. At temperatures above 41° F the Heater Booster is not usually needed. But at lower temperatures, the...

    I hardly know where to begin. I agree that in an informal setting such at this, one doesn't need to footnote and reference everything. If, however, you copy and paste large chunks of text from another Web page, it's only good manners to post where it came from, even if only to allows others a...

    Plagiarism

    People in informal community forums such as these tend to think and write the same way that they tend to think and talk to others directly. It's rare that in a conversation with a friend that one would make it a point to indicate where they read or heard something that they are using to make a...

    Van Drivers, Is Logging Really That Bad?

    My problem with logging is that my biological clock and my sleep patterns don't always coincide with the HOS restrictions. I know how my body reacts in certain situations, and it's better for me to let my body dictate what I can and can't do rather than let unyielding HOS restrictions do that...

    Tires: Nitrogen vs. Air

    That's a pretty good deal. I pay $20 to have mine rotated and topped with nitrogen, about every 20,000 miles. I do that 4 or 5 times a year.

    It's not from CBS, the television network, which is rather liberal, it's from CNS (Cybercast News Service), which is, in fact, most definitely a bastion of conservatism and the politically active religious right. They present the news in their own way in their own slant. The only difference...

    cold weather and deisel

    Most vehicles come equipped with a fuel preheater which should allow trouble free operation to 14 degrees F with non-winterized fuel, and down to -4 with winterized fuel. Below that, and it gets dicey without added anti gel, and since after-market anti gels are also water dispersants, it can get...

    Tolls

    I like it because I don't have to fiddle with cash, especially coins, while approaching the toll booth. I try to make sure I've always got a $20 on me to cover my in and out of Canada, but other than that I don't usually carry any cash at all.

    Fred Thompson just laid an egg, didn't he? I, too, thought he'd make a good president, until his judgment went haywire when he meakly sneaked into the race far too late. Indecision does not bode well for that job. Worst thing he ever did was visit that haywire factory. He's been, well, haywire...

    Underlined and in bold lettering? I was over the top about the name calling, but did so to make the point, is all. In the Muslim world, Hussein is about as common as David. There was a really funny Bugs Bunny cartoon, from, like, the 1950's, maybe earlier, that they won't play on TV anymore...

    David, I was right there with you, sort of, up until you started with the Barack Hussein Obama thing. That's not his name. If you want to make an intelligent, impassioned plea, it makes no sense to toss intelligence and credibility out the window with name calling. Truly. Also, "...please turn...

    Tires: Nitrogen vs. Air

    Smoother ride, stable inflation, better fuel economy, longer tread wear. Nitrogen is used in tires ranging from bicycles to NASCAR to big trucks and little trucks, to soccer mommy vans and expedited cargo vans. Just don't pay more than about $5 a tire for a cargo van. More than that and they're...

    EZPASS and IPASS are interchangeable, and have been for, what, a couple of years now, I think. Used to be you had to have both, but now doesn't matter. Wherever one is accepted, so is the other one.

    Con Way Now

    Yes, Panther bought Con-Way NOW. The truck you saw may have had the Con-Way NOW lettering on the box, but almost certainly didn't have the Con-Way NOW DOT numbers on the door. I saw a straight truck a couple of months ago that had the old lettering still on the box, and Panther's numbers on the...

    The original article's underlying point was about gay bashing, and they used Clinton's earmarks to illustrate it. Now, this article is a "Bash Butts" article, using a Clinton earmark as justification. Hillary's reckless spending is so blatant that the use of a particular agenda to illustrate is...
