>> What would be really interesting to hear is reportable net income . That figure would be directly related to your accountant's expertise. Rex

I use CoPilot Truck Laptop4 on my ThinkPad T20 and I like it quite well. If you check the archives you will find this covered in previous topics. As with anything 'pooter related, there are a number of options and everyone swears by (at) the one they use. Don't throw out your Motor Carrier...

I've seen a few in my travels that looked to be in the 16' to 18'range. They looked semi-scary as they had a lot of box hanging out behind the drive axles. Rex

I was looking over the Landstar website and there were a few QualCom units listed for sale in the BCO classified ads. IIRC, about $1000.00 was the asking price. Rex

I'm an Aries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rex

Hey, Leo, I would really appreciate you deleting your sig line regarding the Constitution if you are going to make unilateral decisions in this manner. Actions such as this are exactly what the framers of the Constitution were wary of! I haven't seen anything posted in the forums that I would...

RE: Leo, I had the opportunity to work for Groeneveld for a few months as a Field Service Tech, and while the position wasn't a good fit for me, I have nothing but good things to say about their automatic lube system. All of the components are very well engineered and will most certainly...

Loose, I sent the photos to the area Cummins rep when I was in the middle of the job. We speculated that the engine had hit in excess of 5000RPM. There was no way to download any info as the ECM was destroyed by shrapnel!!! I can only imagine the look on the face of the "towbar preson" when 4...

For Wi-Fi connection I use a Belkin wireless notebook network card (model# FSD7011). It connects quickly to every Wi-Fi node I've accessed in truckstops, motels and even parked near a Starbucks. IIRC, I got it from OfficeMax for $70. I don't have a TV, but my ThinkPad plays DVDs. I scour the...

Here's a link to photos of a Cummins ISC that I replaced in a Budget rent-a-truck just before I quit wrenching last year. Watch that tach.....overspeed BAD!!!!!!!! http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rode2rouen/album?.dir=/4807 Rex

The big trucking companies (BigCo) have gotten their payoff from all of the campaign donations made earlier. They will be able to staff their linehaul units with "legal" aliens who will be driving themselves into the ground while trying to learn English as a second language. BigCo now has an...

Leo, Why an 18 speed?? If you were going to have to get 100+K lbs. rolling I could see it, but for an expedite truck it seems like serious overkill. The 18 also weighs over 100lbs. more than a 9 or 10 speed. Check out: www.roadranger.com Rex

Terry, I think that in today's economy a more appropriate sign would be: "Will Work For Fuel" Rex

Hey, Leo, Just because Howard Stern is coming to Sirius doesn't mean you HAVE to tune in. That's one of the cool things about our Constitution, the 1st Amendment allows us to speak (or listen) freely. As to Martha Stewart, she might have an idea or two for some really cute chintz curtains for...

I've had Sirius since returning from my first OTR run last October...22K load of roofing material going to VA via the PA Tpk. Between steering, up/downshifting, dodging deer, 4wheelers and highly illuminated owner operators I had no way of finding a radio station. Sirius got the nod over XM as...

My guess is the freight companies are afraid that they will scare away the shppers if they keep raising the surcharge to keep pace with the fuel price increases. Rex

Another thing to look at: Check the vent for the tank that remains full, make sure the hose (if equipped) isn't kinked or plugged. Rex
