Its not perfect I agree. I have been in that situation more than a few times (the London example) and it bugs me each time. That is why when I went to sit in dispatch I specifically wanted to figure out why it happened that way. It still only happens when things go beyond the 25 mile ring of the...

Raw video: Rock slide shuts down Interstate 40 :: WRAL.com Actual video footage. pretty ugly.

Hang on a minute i-gar you are missing one piece of information. Russellville KY, is NOT "IN" the Nashville express center. As the crow flies, Russellville is 47.2 miles out from Nashville, well beyond the 25 mile circle that is an express center. While Nashville is the closest express center...

If even the slightest bit of the attitude in your post came through in the messages you left them I doubt they will ever call you back. Also if you read the qualifications on the web site it satates you must have a CDL. If that's the way you feel about big companies why on earth did you call...

If I worried more about my "pounds" perhaps I could shop for clothes off the same rack you do........on second thought.:p

2500 lbs in the back and I am fully maxed out (the 8550 gvw). I have to be careful about how much stuff I keep in the truck, most of my accessory setups were done with weight being the first consideration. Anything that came with the van that I didn't need (pass seat, spare tire etc) were...

Panera = Brain Food:D.

Due to the long lead times for orders, many buy off the lot and get it as close as they can to what they want. By the way you need to put the umlat dots over top of the letter "U" in super and duper.

I think its fair to say most people use the term Block Heater to refer to an electrical immersion Heater mounted directly inside the Block, and Espar type coolant heaters as engine pre-heaters or hot boxes. Sprinters do not come with an electrical plug in heater (or Minnesota hood ornament as...

You had good training OVM;). One thing that is forgotten a lot is you can crank an engine for 30 full seconds before having to let the starter cool (for 3 minutes). Look at a clock and count off 30 seconds...bet you never thought you would ever hold the key in start that long did you? I went...

One quick check you can do, right after you pull off the road...if your shocks are working...they should be warm to the touch. Bob is very right...most are very ineffective after 100k. At the very least you should change them when you change tires on that axle.

Grey, a nice medium grey colour. Or perhaps gray, a nice medium gray color.

As you said before Leo, it can depend on where you are and what your prospects are. I do know...that at the end of the month when I tally it all up, to meet my goals I need to average 60 cents for all miles including DH. The difference I have maybe to some is I paid cash for my van, so my...

Hinsdale Oasis SB 294 in Chicago after del in Milwaukee and hanging out up there a bit. If the cycle truly repeats, The Enemy and Jenny will walk in and I will get a load out tonight. Groundhog Day....it can happen can't it? It would almost be like living in Bison SD...except funnier. Two...

J in Milwaukee. Raining but at least this week its warm. Like Layout, this was number 3 for me this week, lovin it!

I missed you by about 8 hours Joe!!! Back on my side of the fence DH'ing back to Kitchener from points east.

The whole post was great Linda but the above quote, boy did I ever learn that one the hard way!!

At the J, maybe a Pilot. I will park at the customer if it looks to be in a safe area and I want to be unloaded/loaded first thing. If I am awake and on a day layover I will find a Panera Bread...I hear their new logo has a blue Ford in it.

At a Panera (dam you Jack!!!!!) in DeWitt/Syracuse NY, can't unload till 11pm...can't re-load out till noon tomorrow. Still OK...there are worse places to have to spend time.

Happy Birthday elder one. Pretty soon you will be old enough to come back home for the free health care and seniors day at Shoppers Drug Mart;). With all your riches maybe even a membership at the Club in Ancaster eh?
