    Amount of truck payment

    Rode2rouen, You mean to tell me you've spent every dime your truck made plus more than 20 grand. If that's the case you must be deep in debt. If that is the way it is for everyone I guess there is no money in this.

    UPS and FEDEX

    I've been thinking about something and maybe someone has an answer or thought. It seems like buster brown spends alot of time and money trying to keep up with fedex. So i wonder why they haven't started an expedite divison of their own. I just thought they might would get in in an effort to keep...

    Have you ever wondered how they make that?

    I think the coolest place i've seen in expediting was in kabul,afganistan just before i got out of the service. I was expediting the smack down on the taliban and some of osama's boys.

    Tri-State

    I wish I knew from personal experience all I know is when I'm thru toledo and have time I stop at the terminal for a quick shower and there are always a couple of van guys sitting there talking about how good they are doing, so I guess so. I'm not for sure if they are signing on new vans or not...

    the new diesel fuel

    I heard a guy talking on the trucking bozo show and he said to get the lubricity up on the ultra low sulphur to add one quart of ashless 2 cycle motor oil for every 100 gallons of fuel. The heat is a problem with the low sulphur fuel and the engines built for it which came out in 2004. The new...

    Accepting every load...

    I have a bad habit of when I hear a dispatcher say I need a favor I tend to tune them out a little. I guess that's a flaw I should deal with. When in the service if one of my comrades asked me for a favor weather it was bum a cigarette, help them with cleaning a weapon that maybe I was a lil...

    This is too funny to pass up

    Sounds like those liberal, pot smokin hippies got some bad weed in the last doobie they smoked. The things they do don't make any sense. Like the whole farm thing, why didn't they just buy it and they could protect it forever. They make no sense to me. That sheehan lady gets on my nerves.

    Super 10

    the new diesel fuel

    The fuel we are burning now is the low sulphur. In october I belive it is everywhere will have ultra low sulfur. The reason people are talking about additives in the ultra low sulphur is because it won't be able to lubricate the engine as well. And honestly the man at cat most likely dosen't...
