    Got my paws on the Ford Transit

    I'm a bit confused here. :confused: Logic tells me to put the lightest one in the back, that is, loaded last. My question was really, should the heaviest one go over the axle, or forward most so that its weight is shared by both axles. Forward most seems to make the most sense. Sent from my...

    Got my paws on the Ford Transit

    With three skids, where should the heaviest one go? My van takes two, so the heavier one goes over the wheels. Otherwise, the van would sway its booty like a pole dancer :p Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

    Small diesels usually don't like the high-speed nozzles because of the size of the filler necks. Semi truck tanks just have caps; the fuel doesn't foam up as much, so the nozzles don't kick off as quickly. Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Dang you, OVM, ya made me laugh! :cool: Question: will a Sprinter tolerate the high-speed pumps out back? I remember having problems with them during my years in construction; the F350's we used would only tolerate the slower, car-side diesel pumps used by Vdubs & such... Sent from my XT1028...

    Does any truckstop have decent internet?

    When it stinks inside the building, that is not really acceptable, though. :mad: Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Meanwhile, back at the pilot, I just found out I'm not a professional driver! Why? Because my vehicle doesn't burn diesel. I buy a hot dog for lunch, and the clerk asks me if I want to use my points. I ask, what points? She said, for buying fuel. I told her that PFJ does not issue points for...

    Does any truckstop have decent internet?

    I will have to contact Wandering WiFi. The person at PFJ offered to "troubleshoot" the system. That would mean remotely rebooting the router at the truckstop. I'm sure that would have gone over real well with whomever else was on the internet at the time... :p Sent from my XT1028 using EO...

    Does any truckstop have decent internet?

    Paid $20 for a month of PFJ internet the other day; it's terrible! Service is weak when it works, which it usually doesn't, and when I complained, I was told that no refund is possible. Gonna take it up with my bank; maybe a backcharge will get the attention of the hacks in Knocksville :p

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    No joy in Memphis, so I relo'd to Little Rock. This morning, 3 calls in 15 minutes, but no runs out of them. So, I sit. Benton, Ark. at the Pilot for sleep and Starbucks for working internet. Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app
