Wouldn't the truck run fine with dying batteries? After it's started, the alternator keeps it running. Or am I a dummy? Btw... they rigged up a couple of wires for me, in case it happens again. Which it did last night. Works like a charm. The more I think about it, the more it sounds like the...

Professor, do you watch Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy on Fox? Just the commercials remind me of Jerry Springer. I shudder everytime I'm reminded Fox does NFL too. x(

Found some stuff on Corinthian leather. answers.com on the Chrysler Cordoba: ("Corinthian leather" was a meaningless term invented for the purpose, but the term has come to mean leather with a vinyl surface treatment that requires little care) cnn.com says Neil Diamond has a Corinthian leather...

Took an exit for a truckstop in KY. But I confused the signs with the exit, and ended up on a Parkway. 30 miles later, there was finally an exit I could turn around at. That's probably the worst I've done, but one of my co-drivers took the wrong expressways in Canada on our way to Buffalo, TWICE...

Stuck here in OK with a phantom problem. After I stop for awhile, then start it back up, I drive for a very short distance and it cuts out. After it sits for about a half hour it starts again. The first place I took it to was a small shop. All they did was change a fuse which didn't need...

One thing that is said about duals is that they're enormously more comfortable. And although you would have a lower mpg with duals (I have 7+, but have been in one with an avg of 10.5), you have a greater chance at freight. That could be the difference between moving and waiting another day or...

Heya Professor... My wife got me Sirius because it carries NFL. But I've found some great stations that have kept me going in the wee hours. Awesome conservative station! To tell you the truth, I don't find the trucking stations all that interesting, as they can only go over something for so...

I have duallies with a 28' box, and I'll never go back to single axel... dispite the lower mileage. Not only does it help in getting t/t loads (which I have 3 in my first month driving this truck), but it's alot simpler to manage freight. On a 10k load, I'm not scrambling to figure out where the...

There are 51 ads since the beginning of the month for driver/teams wanted/available. Does that seem high to you? What do you think it means, if anything?

If you have no experience in expediting, and only plan to have someone else drive it, I would suggest you don't get into it. Very few inexperienced owners make it in the industry. It's hard to fathom what problems your drivers face when you haven't been behind the wheel yourself.

I like that tower! I get on the radio and yell "FLORENCE, Y'ALL" everytime I pass by. Reminds you you're in Tenkucky. It's better than the giant peach in Gaffney, SC. It looks like a giant orange arse mooning everyone who passes thru. :7

I wasn't hand-fed at Express-1, just ran good... but I was solo there. When I moved to Panther as a team, we ran hard until my co-driver quit on me 9 days later. But I've heard many newbie stories of HUGE loads on their first 8 or 9 days out. Check the archives, they're there. BigDiesel...

"For commercial vehicles, 10,001 pounds is a significant threshold. Any vehicle that operates in interstate commerce (crossing state lines, furthering interstate commerce) and weighs 10,001 pounds or more must comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). These safety...

Oooooh... it disdapeerded! :+

LOL Pappy!!! I don't know if I can trust someone named Uncle Booger!?!? :7 While we're on the subject, am I the only one who gets half way thru eating Flying J's meat-lover's benedict before I hafta go? x(

Unless you like sticking to the seat with your sweat, go with cloth.

$2.39 in San Antonio... dropped .02 from last night.

Ummm... that's what the so-called naysayers were telling him. Geez! But we also told him to lose the smug attitude of "Haha! We're doing better than you!", cause he'll feel stupid when reality hits home like it does with ALL expediters. Apparently, you haven't learned this lesson, Ateam. If...

Leo... did you ever tell us who you've decided to run with?

I did enjoy Panther alot. You know how it goes tho... getting snagged somewhere like Nashville and getting riddled with minis. The whole time driving team for them (4 months), we were offered only a handfull of runs over 800 mi, one of which we turned down for dh and fsc. We didn't sit too much...
