Long live the shelled one! A turtle heading for water...go figure.

I carry a spray bottle of real strong disinfectant (supposed to kill HIV even) and spray down the shower walls and floor. Almost all disinfectants need to sit on the surface (wet) for 10 minutes so I spray everything and then do my...um...sitting. By the time that is done 10 mins has passed and...

Back home (and rested) after dropping in Brampton ON this morning, I love being busy!

Ya, I guess it is, as 746 watts is 1 hp. That draw is a worst case scenario, compessor locked kinda draw. I rarely see it, usually I see the number closer to 5-600 watts when it is starts up (and that includes the condensor and evap fans). They did tell me once, and I have completely forgotten...

Dunno if you are talking about the Arctic Breeze Greg, but it has a full automotive swash plate style compressor in it (I believe mine is a Sanden) hooked up to a big 12v motor. It's all made of big parts running real slow.

Chicago O'Hare Oasis. What a night/morning it was in the fog!

I have an Arctic Breeze system that I have been very happy with. 3 group 31 Freightliner AGM batteries and it runs nearly 8 hours (I have a genset/charger system to extend that time). It works well and is all 12v basic automotive components (cheap to fix). Ray from Espar of Michigan sells them...

Welcome to the forum Podcast, looks like you have had a busy first day. I see you've met Turtle.......have you noticed that when you flip this little turtle over onto his back he can flip over again pretty quick? Got one hell of a hiss to him too. Most have learned he is a "look, don't touch"...

Indeed, when you consider more and more shippers are using fuel surcharge "justification" services that allow them to negotiate the FSC down on loads. It's time for carriers to fight back a little and either get real miles, or start charging proper waiting times and other "accessory" charges. If...

I am just going to call you and let you handle it while you loan me your van. FX decals might class it up a bit;).

Watching the RV crowd try and park is the most entertaining thing about staying at a J. My parents are full time RV'ers and Dad makes quite a bit of extra cash parking units when they get to the campground or even at a truckstop. There is one couple that camps where they do in the summer and he...

I think the key is the Dodge dealers are "supposed to" honour the warranties and provide service. It should be interesting, the chances of them selling a Sprinter owner an Iveco or Fiat certainly drop if they fail to provide good service to his Sprinter. Just the same, I have begun to lobby my...

I was faxing some stuff at a FedEx Kinko's the other day (no discount on faxing:mad:) and was told 50% on Express and 20% for ground. As for in store things like printing or shipping supplies, that is up to the individual store franchisee.

Info about what the team is raising money for Almont dance team earns a spot in Nationals Thanks for that post aristotle, my wife hasn't laughed that hard in months. The gang wasn't doing a very good business and I passed by them on the way to a delivery 2 miles away. When I got told I was...

I'll be trying the 'busters this year. As for making me think about winter Linda......BOOOOOOOOOOO!

Anyone else get load numbers that started with a "1" today? Does this mean we are 100% on NDS now? Can you tell how bored I am that I wanted to start a thread on this.:rolleyes:

Where is it safe to interact with people? Really, anywhere left?

I have L track on the walls and in the floor as well as D rings in the floor. I carry half a dozen ratchet straps as well as a big monster strap to tie loose big freight together into one solid cube. At first I didn't like the L track but now I kinda do, its easy to clean and works well.

Pilot at exit 18 in Monroe Mich. Fully rested after a string of loads that saw me cross the border 3 times at 3 different places yesterday, finally finishing with a del early this morning. Each load came before or just as the previous one finished.....I LIKE THAT!!!!
