Another super easy way is a pint can of Rustoleum Smoke Grey gloss enamel and a small foam paint brush. It's still there, still glossy. Use a real small (model) brush when going around the cup holders and what-not. The Gibster

I can certainly understand someones reluctance to post after going thru the personal slamming that had taken place here, not all that long ago. But in expediting, just as in other things, we all come from various other careers and backgrounds. And that means we all look at things differently...

We had a problem with our AA Sleeper AC/Heat control unit mounted on the inside wall dropping it's power lead off the back of the switches. The connector on the male end of the spade terminal just wasn't tight enough to hold on. And the bends made it not really adjustable by needle nose pliers...

Just got this off Architectural Record: http://archrecord.construction.com/news/wtc/archives/050629freedom.asp Pretty Cool! The Gibster

This is a great topic! Like Dave says, it's a 'calling' rather than a standard, albeit upscale business plan. But that end result is a more satisfying work experience - you perceive doing more for the customer than the average expedite load. That personal satisfaction can't easily be measured...

So just out of curiosity, are the Landstar brokers grabing NLM Laredo loads at under a buck a mile, or do they get their own network of shippers to agree to these rates? I could see this really slamming the typical NLM carrier that openly bids loads on the boards. The Gibster

Cummins only handles the engine itself, and state that the compressor and associated bracketry is a freightliner part/issue. In 2 years Dave this is our 5th A/C compressor. Donna is absolutely great for saving all our receipts, and freightliner replaces each one under warranty. But it does mean...

ISB Cummins in FL70s are well known for their vibration problems, one direct problem associated with them is that the A/C Compressor mounting ears break off at the mounting bracket. Poor bracket design! We've heard that Freightliner in DFW has been able to fabricate another bracket that goes...

We priced out the direct replacement white doors for our Morgan at Atlantic Coast Trailer in Kernersville, NC. About $800 installed. There's also a trailer supply place in Conyers, GA, that said we could buy the doors for about $500. But I wouldn't even want to begin to try and hang those...

We agree completely! If you're spending that kinda money on equipment, take care of it. The real upside however is that I've heard your chances of getting DOT'd is greatly reduced when your truck 'looks' like it's maintained. We even touch-up the steering column shaft under the hood with black...

When we first started out a couple of years ago we signed up with Flying J's Transportation Alliance Bank and their Mastercard. Our carrier paid us 50% of the load upon pickup on Comdata, we immediately transferred the monies to the MC, and used the card for everything. Flying J's gave us a...

I totally agree with Broom - especially minor league ball. We went to the Aberdeen Ironbirds stadium last year, not a bad seat in the house! And financial mags all say it's the hotest draw of late, they build new sections and new seats every off-season; and literally can't keep up with the...

Hey Leo, you weren't in Montgomery AL at the TA by chance were ya? Lot lizards all night long and then 2-3 guys selling these cameras working the lot. No wonder the po-leece kept showing up. And this was last New Years Eve! The Gibster

I think Mr Finney has hit it on the head. A few months ago, OK, maybe last year, I wrote about a book by a Jewish economist Paul Pilzer, entitled "GOD WANTS YOU TO BE RICH". He catalogs 'planned obscelescence' - 8 tracks to cassettes to CDs, carbs to fuel injection, etc.. His underlying theory...

LOLLLLLLLL!

It's 2005. We live in a market driven, global economy. When the oil embargo of the 70's happened everyone grumbled we would be stuck in Yugos from then on. Didn't happen. The industry changed. Carbs went to the wayside, fuel injection was the devil - all those workers out of jobs. They found...

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST. KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING...

Take it for what it's wurf - we always get down to the Petro in Elkton MD. 35 miles I-95 to Baltimore, about the same to Philly. Backside is lower/central Pennsylvania, Allentown and Bethlehem. We usually get loaded as far north as Burlington NJ, but again, take it for what it's worth, we're in...
