At the show...posting on Mr. L's free computer!! Thanks Lawrence! Great looking show!

Up the road a little, will be there tomorrow.

Don't worry too much about Sterling going away, FTL has stated they will support the brand for 10 years (I think Its the law). On the surface the Sterling sounds like the better truck. Any more info available like rear axle ratio's, transmissions, etc?

We B's are a tad slow right now. If you buy a van and want to stay with the Fed, there is no point in buying a Sprinter. FX sells van loads as 4x4x8 feet and nothing more. Yes the Sprinter will get you better fuel mileage but everything else (including the purchase price) eats into those fuel...

Avoid the Hino, As far as the others go, depends on what engine is in it and how it is spec'd as far as drivetrain goes. If you are going used, a class 8 truck may be the safer bet.

At home, visit to the FX HQ tomorrow afternoon, Expo Friday and Saturday.

Very aggressive selling going on to fleets. Pricing is really cheap (comparably) to FTL and Volvo right now. That new ProStar is also a very aerodynamic truck. A lot of it has to do with who is running the company right now and the path International has chosen for 2010 emissions. They need to...

Talk about swinging for the fence!! Are you trying to **** people off? Do you figure just by continuing to argue and bump the thread you are somehow going to succeed? All I see is a possibly worthwhile cause getting dragged through the mud and now that you have attached yourself to...

Jim Hebe is in charge at Navistar (International) and doing the same kind of things he did before that vaulted Freightliner to number one, and then almost killed it. If you are in the mood to buy a truck and the International product interests you, they are selling them really cheap. FTL has...

If you do make it to the show, make sure if nothing else, that you attend the 11am Friday workshop by John Mueller of PTL. The workshop will give you the very basics you need to decide if this is the direction for you. Having a love of driving is surely one aspect of doing this but there is an...

Greg, what kind of financial shape is Pilot in after taking on the J's debt? What kind of things do you think they might be able to do?

Home again after 4 days of various Illinois layovers.

Ah the good ole days when you could actually believe the news.

Perhaps a trip to the Expo would be a good investment.

No one is really safe when you are logged on Doug are they. Sorry ark, I saw where this one was headed and I am waaaaaay to bored not to comment. Guess that answers the original question you asked.

The sad part is, no matter what, the orientation rooms will be full each week, leaving those of us already in the game with the weaker position of the two.

As a public service......Please, if you are doing a rub in the truck, dry or otherwise, close your curtains....especially you Doug! Thank you. Don't worry ark, it's gonna get locked for a whole different reason.

Still planning on being there. How do I get on this "Ken owes me a coffee" list? Is it a Timmies OVM or have you lost that part of your past?

SB O'Hare Oasis in Chicago. Trying that whole Elk Grove instead of Gary thing. Cold sober beverages for anyone that wants to stop in for a visit.

Time to switch carriers.
