New Year - More Opportunities I look forward to new opportunities in which I can be a blessing to those who are in need. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification...

Propane Freeze OVM, I have come out of the truck stop and tried to light my heater only to discover my butane lighter would not ignite. As there had been no heater running in the van, it seems that there would have been ample oxygen to support combustion. Coleman recommends that there be at...

My hope and desire is to be more of a blessing to those that I meet along the way. Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us...

RE: can I get a witness They moved from the Detriot area because the cost of Kevlar Vests to assure employees would make it to work alive were becoming too costly.

Ditto on the Espar...IF you can stand the cost. $1800 plus another $300-400 for second battery and isolater. I use two Coleman Catalytic Heaters. One 1500 BTU for nights above 40 degrees just to take the chill off. One 3000 BTU when it drops down to around 30 degrees. Sometimes both it the...

Gift card for Trader Joe's. I'll buy Asian Soups and Mint Cocca Mix to go with my FREE hot water from the truck stop. The Hunt for Red October on DVD. Had it on VHS but the player finally kicked the bucket. Dark navy down-filled jacket. Pair of gloves with 100 grams of Thinsulate. Toasty...

Excellent input! A fair exchange of thoughts and ideas. I believe Moot is from the frozen tundra land of Minnesota and extreme cold temperatures would obviously be at one end of the spectum. It would be the exception that proves the rule. When temperature gets below 32 degrees, my warm up...

Amen! I consider myself very blessed to have established a business relationship with an O/O who is willing to share his experience with me. His knowledge of this industry (freight lanes, dead areas, positioning, truck tips, etc.) has helped me beyond measure. During these periods of reduce...

RE: How do you turn off the QC after turning off t I had my programmed to shut down in 15 minutes after the key is turned to the off position. The battery draw is minimal. I have yet to meet the first person who ever had to replace a less than three year old battery as the result of the QC...

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4 Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17...

My truck hits operating temperature within 1/2 mile from my driveway. I move the first 1/4 mile at idle speed until I get to the first main street. I never exceed 35mph until the the second 1/4 mile has elapsed. PS. I did ask someone. I asked Cummins. Moreover, I live within walking distance...

Prolonged idling wastes fuel, causes unnecessary wear to your Detroit Diesel engine and throws more pollutants into the air. ---Detriot Diesel Carriers in record numbers have decided they want to quit unnecessary engine idling and they want to do it now, before the cost of diesel goes even...

In the winter, many people idle their engine after starting it up because they think it needs time to warm up. Not true! Today's fuel-injected engines don't need a warm-up period, and idling for long periods can lead to excessive engine wear. Worse, gasoline engines idling for more than 10...

Run when they offer... Wait when they don't offer... Got a new load offer everyday last week while I was heading to each delivery. It doesn't get any better than that.

5. I do my own maintaince and for an 18 year old van it runs fine. The two things a company will remember over everything else is on time delivery and price. I will agree that "on-time delivery and price" are important to every shipper and consignee, but there other factors that often outweigh...

RE: Whats the stupidest thing you have done this y The most stupid thing I have down this year, so far, because the year has not ended as of yet, is allowing myself to believe that "Bigger" is "Better". That error in judgment cost me $500+ in wasted time and money.

Akajarhead, I am not a huge fan of the educational system in this country. I am all about learning, but I am resistant to those who attempt to bend my will, my ethics, my values, my morals, etc. simply because they are standing in front of a classroom; thus, providing them a platform to voice...

Oh, I am so glad that I had multiple load offers that day. I did get an offer to Selkirk, NY on Friday. While trying to decide if I wanted to go north, I got another offer to lower Virginia. Thank you Lord!
