    How do you like the Bionic?

    After using the Bionic for a while now, I'm getting better with it. One of the best apps I have is the keyboard app that I paid a couple of bucks for. Once I finally got the settings right, I've been reasonably happy with key board although I do miss the physicsl keys. A Bionic with a slide out...

    How is your week?

    Wow...your lucky. I would just be thankful it didn't come through the windshield. My week has been decent. KC to Chicago monday. Then a package deal of Chicago to Hannibal, Mo to Beloit, WI area then back to KC. In all, about 1400 loaded miles and 475 empty but the empty miles were paid well...

    Jacking truck prices up.

    Exactly. As for what a fair price? Anything and everything is worth what you can get for it. I have seen it happen a few times where something was advertised at a reasonable price and got very little interest then the price was raised and the item sold almost immediately. I've seen my brother...

    Seasonal work?

    Apparently you already have your MC# (authority). Why not just pursue the short expedite runs in your area? Most of us run otr. When we get to your part of the world, all we want is to get out.... way out. The short runs are not pursued by most expediters that I know of. You don't seem to be...

    What is distracted driving?

    I have been distracted by women doing this sort of thing a very few times actually. I am somewhat unhappy about it too.

    Everyone has a different situation and some have created a corporation or LLC. I'm definitely not an attorney, but the general consensus is that none of these things will protect your assets if you are involved in an accident since you will be the driver. As for a tax advantage, that is where...

    A caller on Kevin Rutherford's sirius radio show reported very good results with that oil. I think the guy had switched from a different synthetic to the Schaeffer's and was getting noticebly better mileage with the Schaeffer's. This was with a t/t of course. I've noticed though that it seems...

    How do you like the Bionic?

    I've got one. This is my first smart phone so I have nothing to compare it to. With that said, I really wasn't impressed with it at first. There was just too much to understand about how it works and getting enough apps to do what I want it to do. Now that I've had it for a week or two, I've...

    1) If you plan on buying Ford and new, I would suggest a TerraMaxx built by Turtle Top or a HCV (high cube van). I'm not sure if Jack Berry got his HCV sold or not but that would be a good used van to own. What I'm getting at is you want taller rear doors. These type vans have a taller roof and...

    Solar roadways anyone?

    It does look like a great idea (of course we have only seen the positive side by watching those videos). It seems to me that rural interstates might be best. Starting at a shopping mall would be great until the parking is full, then a good portion of the area is shielded from the sun.... same...

    Sounds like you were in Wildwood. I know there is very small Pilot there. Sounds like it's too late now but there's an old mom and pop truck stop very close to that pilot. I found it by accident one day after delivering west of there. I think you take the same exit and just drive past the Pilot...

    DT 530 engine

    Lol.....now you know why I decided I better stay out of the salvage business! Lol. Yeah, I wouldn't consider taking that for an engine that could be used as a spare. Just have the shop do a good job of preparing it for storage and sit it aside. One thing for sure, it can't lose much value! You...

    What is distracted driving?

    Which of those would you not consider to be a distraction? I do many of the things on that list. I make phone calls, poke around on my GPS, eat (not very often while moving), drink water, etc while driving. I always try to do those things when no other vehicles are around me and never in...

    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    I don't know. It seems that Phil was saddened by what he thinks is permanent removal of the plaques and he posted that he felt that way. I'm not sure why anyone else cares that he feels that way. I know I don't, but I have no connection to Phil or Fedex othér than having a few friends there. As...

    DT 530 engine

    YW. A friend and I considered starting a truck salvage once upon a time. That was one of the places I called to see what they paid for cores. If I remember correctly (fat chance of that! ), they wanted the crank to turn like 3/4 of a revolution and no cracks in the block. That was about it. It...

    DT 530 engine

    You probably know this, but you can sell the core to a rebuilder. I think the place south of Louisville on 65 is rebuilder (River City Truck Parts?). I don't remember the exact name but they have a website.

    Motorola Droid Bionic

    It's definitely a love/hate relationship at this point. I really like all of the cool stuff it does like posting on here. Some of the basic functions that I need a phone to do are more complicated though. I learned that making even simple phone call requires stopping the vehicle just to get the...
