    Big Truck New Trucks, GVWR, Pusher Axles, and FET......again

    I think the reference was to "Taxable trucks" [The six-month rule. Previously, buyers of taxable trucks could add a maximum of $200...] It just seems there is sufficient information/misinformation to qualify as a "gray area"...which is a route I try to avoid. However as I said if there if...

    Big Truck New Trucks, GVWR, Pusher Axles, and FET......again

    Thanks for your information. There are times when the IRS has erred in their determination of liability however most victories are of little value when the battle sails the citizen defendant (tax payer) into a sea of debt. It is not uncommon for an IRS agent to misinterpret the regulations...

    Engineers close I-65 NB near Lafayette again

    Since it is a well known closure, are the extra mileage adjustments made (and compensated) on loads that would be affected by that closure? Or does your carrier ignore the additional miles and extra time?

    How should I call this, sabotage or discrimination?

    Ditto the money. As to too $s in vans? I still can't understand why a Taxis get much more per mile than vans or even straight trucks. Not sure what the drivers get, but nowadays you gotta be rich or on welfare to afford a taxi. On your point, if Opel comes too understand what it actually was...

    How should I call this, sabotage or discrimination?

    If you really really liked him and stayed because of that, then is that a good basis for making a business decision. For example, if was to forgo my O/O status and went back to driving for a fleet owner, I do really really like the last Fleet owner I drove for before getting my own truck...

    Generators and Airconditioners

    Thanks, I'll check it out. I think its great when someone comes up with good alternatives to the status quo. I will be installing my hard start capacitor this weekend for my 14k btu unit. The little eu2000i is still doing the job without it but there is a notable momentary struggle. In the mean...

    Generators and Airconditioners

    So for the cost of a curtain & rod you can save hundreds on an AC unit and hundreds more on a smaller KW generator plus a whole lot less fuel burn, less weight and less aerodynamic drag (no roof top)...all this because of a $10. curtain rod and curtains? :) Gotta like Paul Harvey!

    Generators and Airconditioners

    Have you tried the Honda eu 1000i, 1,000 watt surge, 900 watts (7.5 amps) running? Or it's equivalent? On some 5000 BTU ACs, the spec's show amps at 4.8 ( http://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-5-000-BTU-Window-Air-Conditioner-LW5012/203127491 ) which would be 64% of the rated running watts...

    How should I call this, sabotage or discrimination?

    Opel, your presentation is good. Keep it in this direction so useful communications can be exchanged that may help all expediters, fleet owners etc. Your factoid is quite revealing.

    COSBY/CLINTON

    Something in the name Bill? Seems that there is a lot about the "Power" behind these two characters that gives them a pass when it comes to the rape (drugged or not) of women that cross paths with these two guys. I wonder how many women didn't come forward when the then President Bill Clinton...

    Truck driver needs to be identified and arrested.

    That is Jihad Jane, one of the72 virgins (no one said they were all female) who is showing off his skills. It is not unusual for a suicide bomber to drive his vehicle this way. As responders are trying to stop the vehicle by shooting at the engine and the drivers normal location, by driving...

Tri-State took your "last penny" then they didn't take your "last penny." o_O The accident "really wasn't my (your) fault", then you rear ended them because they stopped "sooner than expected"... o_O "was expecting atleast 100 dollars i was planning to use for Gas to get home for...
