    TA Travelcenter - Nashville

    We were told that as well, Dynamite, until we got to the TA in Denver (East?). We were shooed out of the front lot by their rent-a-cop, who explained that the E meant "employee". There are a boatload of "E" slots in that front lot, which would make that TA the most heavily-staffed truckstop on...

    Power Problem

    Hahaha......wasn't intentional, Cheri. Oh wait......yes, yes it WAS intentional. Only persons with above-average intellect would get it. Congratulations.

    Power Problem

    Current price for a new one is $4.38 at Wally World, Joe. Ask me how I know that it's current. Nevermind. Don't.

    Power Problem

    Electricity and me are not friends, but here's my crude thinking Truck's alternator provides juice to batteries, wired to inverter and 12v appliances. APU supplies 12v juice to inverter and 12v appliances. I'm thinking one of the heavy fuses from battery bank to sleeper has...

    Icy roads lead to fatal accident in near Floyd

    I think your 'million-to-one' is way too high, Cheri. Lots of things happen to bodies when the vehicle they are travelling in meets an immovible object. Think about this for a second: I have personally picked up two completely-tied shoes from two separate accident scenes, that were...

    OH SOOO Funny!

    We got one last week that was 10 pieces, 13000 pounds, liftgate, and delivered in Brooklyn, NY for $.87/all miles. And for the record, we get offers like yours REGULARLY. Funny thing is, usually the heavier it is, the cheaper it is.

    More fun in this biz than a barrel of monkees

    Sorry, Moot. I assumed. Mine's not a factory job, tk. Let me know if you want photos for an idea or two. The bumper's a bit of a pain when removing for liftgate use, but the gate is WELL worth having. FWIW, I have a pallet jack and always load my own....except when my wide forks don't fit...

    Strange

    Mine does it often. We're in the test group....not sure if that's why or not. Dreamer's rationale seems plausible. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    More fun in this biz than a barrel of monkees

    Some don't have ICC bumpers underneath, allowing the dock locks to work, Moot. My guess is that's why. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Michigan Medical Claims Assessment Tax

    Just wondering how many other Michiganders knew about this new Medicaid tax, and hoping someone can tell me how Medicaid was funded prior to charging me an addition to my health insurance premium. I'm ignorant on the matter. Guess it's time for me to start paying a little closer attention to...

    Legal or NOT?

    Or, it could result in an attorney soaking him/her for a retainer fee for a case they know they can't win. I like DaveKC's advice best. How about moving up the food chain first, and exhausting all remedies at the carrier before jumping to an attorney? Then, after he/she has done so, and...

    Truck Battery Question

    ....and I knew he'd chime in. Thanks, Turtle. I have three batteries; none isolated. I should get myself a separate one for my toys. Probably last a lot longer. Aside from my setup, I always err on the side of caution. Like to replace all of the accessories with bearings annually, as well...
