    Newbie looking to be a fleight owner

    I've never owned a truck, but my advice on buying a truck is this. Don't buy a truck you wouldn't want to live in. If you don't think you could stay in it for 2-4 weeks at a time then chances are no one else will want to either. Just my 2 cents.

    When should the parents take responsibility

    Friday night a 10 year old boy in Dumas,AR stole a school bus and led police on a 40 mile chase across 3 counties to Pine Bluff,AR. Sad thing about is he had been caught on camera awhile back trying to break into a school bus. I will give him one thing though. He had all his lights on, and was...

    Our sovereignty is being....

    Not only is the US soverign, but in my oponion Texas is a soverign state. If you ask me each state is soverign. I belive in state's rights. No one will ever change that. I think there is a need for federal government, but I think we have a federal government that is to powerful. Think about it...

    When should the parents take responsibility

    You would be surprised the amount of people in prison who will tell you their parents taught them right from wrong and they didn't listen. I used to hear it everyday when I worked in the pen. Some of those inmates had a better upbringing than I did. My parents were strick on me, but let my...

    Your first time

    Mine was when I worked security at a Metallica concert in LA. Right up front turned facing the crowd. It was one of those deals were they ask for some marines and sailors to come work security, but it's more like you get in for free.

    Life of the Truck

    My grandfather owned his own tractor and trailer, and what he did was when he had the truck paid off he'd get a new trailer so he would still b getting tax deduction after the truck was paid for. Of course trailers don't cost near as much as trucks do.

    Gun Control, interesting stats

    My grandpaw used to keep a six shooter in his sleeper. I had an old hand tell me one time that when the strikes were going on back in the 70's he carried a sawed off 12 gauge on his dash. I've never carried a gun, but I have always made sure my tire thumper was in hands reach. Some of these guys...

    Well I didn't know if you all had some other traditions and what not. So I guess you celebrate Thanksgiving twice huh? My cousins that had dual citizenship would always look at the calander for Canadian holidays as a way scamming thier way out of school. Never seemed to work.

    Gun Control, interesting stats

    There is only one way the government will take a gun from me, and that's to pry it from my cold,dead hands. I'm not going to leave my family defenseless. I personally think it's bs that commercial drivers can't carry a pistol for thier own protection. I would be willing to bet money if those...

    Ice, Snow and an Mountain Pass

    If you are going down a steep dry grade with no engine brake keep it in a low gear. If it's a long grade and there is some kind of brake cooling area I'd stop and let them cool off a bit. After holding you back very long they will get hot. I'm sure you've seen other people's brakes smoking...
