    Cube Van

    Yes, the GVWR is either 12,000 or 12,300# for this particular truck however you can find similar trucks with 10,000# GVWR. I believe you can tell the difference by looking at VIN. The 4th character in the VIN for a 10,000 GVWR is an "H" while the heavier ones use a "J" in the 4th character...

    Rest period for Pilots/Lexington Crash

    Yeah it must be a "state thing" because I am currently a medic in Indiana and we work 24 hours on 48 hours off. All the surrounding departments do the same thing. The only exception I can think of is the Wishard Memorial Hosp medics that cover the inner city of Indianapolis. They work 12 hour...

    Rest period for Pilots/Lexington Crash

    I agree. Paramedics routinely work 24 hour shifts and doctors do not have any time on-duty guidelines. Hmmmm???

    I think he meant $2.41 but that is still a good deal considering the past 6 months.

    More Cutbacks at Ford.

    That's all fine and well but the point is this. I read several posts on here that I don't agree with but if I am not already involved in that conversation than I just shrug my shoulders and go on. That is the true spirit of letting people being entitled to their own opinion, not proving them...

    Well, I guess I have been put in my place. Sorry for not falling into the politically-correct anything goes crowd. Just makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy don't it?? I would say that another good example of their poor management skills would be their continued support of this controversial...

    More Cutbacks at Ford.

    Because Ford is promoting a lifestyle that a majority of people do not agree with. When people by products from Ford they are indirectly furthering the agenda because Ford relies on sales to be able to spend the money on the advertisements. I am not saying that Ford should come out...pardon the...

    More Cutbacks at Ford.

    More info on Ford's new project. Shouldn't they be spending more effort on new models of vehicles. Seems to be an obsession or at least a very large distraction. http://www.afa.net/petitions/ford/advocate/ads.html

    More Cutbacks at Ford.

    Ford is controlling their own demise. The boycott by the American Family Association is working. Ford is one of the largest supporters for the legalization of gay marriage in the US. Ford should remain neutral in this matter but they just will not get the hint. Conservative people out in the...

    Wire barriers in median

    I think the concept is generally a good idea but I agree they should have installed them closer to the center of the median. Another added plus is it prevents on-coming troopers from cutting the median and coming after you. That's gotta be a big revenue buster.

    What ever happened to common courtesy????

    Sounds like you need to find a Wal-Mart or similar 24 hour store. They are my parking area of choice for my "Super B Cube". Vans and cubes can park anywhere without much hassle. Save the truck stops for the big trucks. Best of all..... No LOT LIZARDS!!!!!!
