    WHO DO YOU LOVE?

    It's not the EGR system, it's the DEF and DPF that are causing problems. The big trucks are still having lots of issues with these systems and quite frankly I don't think the manufacturers are going to do much about it. They have to focus on the next 2 rounds of emissions requirements that will...

    Speaking of substandard education...

    It's not presented as the sole option. This idiot went in with the intention of causing a problem and to disrupt the learning process that some kids could benefit from. The presenters were there to explain why abstinence is the best option, it's guaranteed to be 100% effective against...

    WHO DO YOU LOVE?

    The technology is already proven, that's the point. Any of the other things about what they use in Europe, heavy equipment, trains, or any other form of transportation aren't relevant. Everyone already knows that under most circumstances a diesel engine will outlive a gas engine. The problem is...

    Your Motivation and Willpower

    I think the decision to workout is basically an attempt to end an addiction. Either the willpower or the addiction will end up being stronger and win the battle.

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Perfect! He's not a lunatic. He just moved up on my list. Any conservative that won't vote for a potentially great candidate over that will hand Hillary the election. Who cares what that man does in his private life? It's a legal activity in most states and he isn't some goober lying and towing...

    Are you looking for worker's comp or OCC insurance? Some states like NY are a little difficult to get OCC insurance coverage.

    Stealing rain water on your own property

    Joe is a few years later on this one, notice the date on the article in the link. According to this article it seems that the state is saying that he was diverting streams or tributaries and not just collecting rain water. It seems that it's certainly a possibility considering the fact that he...

    Who does their own maintenance, and how in depth do you go with it?

    I think for some repairs are done on home time so they don't want to deal with work stuff during vacation. I have helped rebuild entire brake systems, changed tires, body work, radiators, etc at the company shop. I have gained valuable knowledge on how different systems work which makes it...

    Umm...I'm but sure on the other 3 but truckers don't pay anywhere near 28%.

    sad sad day

    The big problem now is trying to figure out how to get moderates involved on election day. I think many have given up and are just fed up with the circus.

    From Straight Truck to Tractor Expediting

    Yeah those schools are just a means to get your license. The only way to learn the job is to do the job.

    Financing

    Was this done in the last few years or awhile ago when rates were better matched with expenses? Wasn't this also done in a straight truck? He's talking about borrowing $5k for a down payment on a van which as we know is a completely different world. I don't see an issue with owner financing...
