Eat lunch or take a break and increase your chances of having an accident? I wonder if a similar study has been done with drivers? Interesting and food for thought. TS

Good comments on multiple extinguishers. Years ago I had a dry powder extinguisher fail due to either loss of charge (needle was still in green however) or the powder was packed down from years of bouncing around in a vehicle, either way it only dribbled a bit of a powder out. I am not a fan of...

Direct quote from the USAA website: "Our investment products, life insurance, and shopping and discounts are available to other individuals.USAA auto and property insurance and USAA banking services are not available due to membership eligibility requirements." I read that as you have to be a...

Wished I could of made it, congratulations on the win! TS

If it is tire or axle based, it seems a class 7 or 8 with wide base drives and a lift axle would make you a "non" truck if you have the lift axle up, four tires on the ground then :) It seems a bit convoluted, I would think ANY vehicle at 26001 or heavier would be a truck regardless of the...

I had the one Costco sells or sold, anyway they have a QC / reliability issue in my opinion, went through two of them and Costco covered that (under one year each), the third one died outside the one year warranty, I trashed it and am now using a small Mr. Coffee, not as convenient, but...

Anybody have a guess on straights industry wide? As long as guesstimates are being done it might be good for newbies (myself included) to have some idea of the amount of trucks in all the classes of expedite. TS

Jim Gaffigan on Subway Funny and about right, LOL! Subway is selling mostly carbs in the form of wheat bread. TS

I live in a state with mandated B5 biodiesel blend AND I run Schaeffer Diesel Treat 2000, looks like I have my bases covered, LOL... TS

Spotted a FECC ST south bound on US Highway 97 between Redmond and Bend, OR this evening around 1900 local time, 1st one I have seen running in Central Oregon, any chance that was a member here on EO? Since I live about 20 miles from that location and am considering the Fed as a carrier I would...

I haven't read the book, I assume it is about wheat? You don't have to consume wheat at a Mexican restaurant and I rarely do. Why will it be a huge problem, or am I missing something? TS

AV software is quite often the subject of reviews, a plethora of reviews come up when searching for "best antivirus". Norton is very rarely in 1st place. I know older versions were large resource hogs AND difficult to remove, it was way more complicated than just uninstalling via control panel...

Anything but Norton, I think that is a virus itself! I have been using Avast! on the recommendation of my website designer, BUT it and at least a couple of other anti virus programs blacklisted a bunch of web sites in the last few weeks that were clean and then gave him attitude about it. So...

I think they get ALL updates from the map updates since the traffic updates only occur in large metro areas, rural areas would never get updated otherwise. The location of the signs is because somebody mapped them for the database, if the sign gets moved they show the wrong speed limit until...

It is only a bit younger, I turned 55 last month... TS

Thank you guys for your service. If I had it do over again, it would be in the USAF the day after HS, could of retired at 38 and then took the same job as a civilian (at least in some fields) and retired again and then had a third career! One thing you guys are doing here is making me feel...

I am still in the research phase and haven't started driving, so a few questions come to mind: 1) How do you log time while in service waiting on a load? Say you wait three days, since you are watching a load board or waiting for a call from dispatch is that off duty or on duty not driving? I...

Search "vehicle and asset tracking", more hits than you can imagine! I am not familiar with any one solution in particular, but you should be able to come up with a solution that fits your needs. TS This one does come to mind, I use the Globalstar satellite phone, advantage, if vehicle has sky...

I like it, but this is what made your post stand out :) TS

They are a Calvary Chapel affiliated church, most if NOT all Calvary Chapels follow the same type of teaching, while I am not super dogmatic about it, this style of teaching is great for covering ALL of the Bible in context, rather than just pulling some verses to make a sermon topic. I attend a...
