It's kinda fun watching both parties scrambling for whatever edge they can get. It seems to me that GW is getting ready to dump D.Cheney as his VP.Cheney is carrying alot of baggage these days ,including his recent cussing out of the Senator from Vermont. I have noticed that Jon McCain is doing...

I usually fill it out with 4 pallets of electrical equipment. I make the shipper to be AAA Electrical Supply from somehere,sometimes I write in BIG letters ,meet GE Rep Jack Welsh or FDX Rep Tom Hanks..

Could this be the -Team playing with us??:+

Ok I have to ask this. If you were in St Louis going to Utah what made you go up to Nebraska. You could have taken I 70 West to Denver,I 25 N to Cheyenne Wyoming then I 80 W to Utah. Or stay on I 70 to Green River Utah,then US 6 to Salt Lake City and up to Odgen. Perhaps those Jehovas Witnesses...

One of the things I do at a Walmart etc if I think security is going to be a problem is too fill out a generic bill of lading (that you can buy at office depot) and have it say that you have a delivery for that particular store,but in Big Letters say "Do not Deliver Early" and have the delivery...

That per mile rate for a cargo van actually sounds a little on the low side.Perhaps your Father in law is thinking in the mode of a company driver.When you explain to him all that will come out of that .77 he may understand better.

I also park up front,I can't see taking up a spot that some guy pulling a 53 footer and desperately needs the mens room has to go around me. I rarely have had any problems parking with the RV croud.I also do a lot of Walmarts,Krogers,Winn Dixies ,Meyers etc. I just want something that is open...

Perhaps the waves parted for him to walk out there similar to a guy named MOSES several thousand years ago.:+

I think at one time Tri State drivers did not know the actual pay until they received their settlement.They could make an educated guess. I could not operate that way and it may have gone away.

I would say probably about $30K, maybe a little less.Unfortunately that Cat Engine seems to go south at about 400,000 .

If you have XM on the Dave Nemo show in the mornings there is an oufit that advertises a lot. Their name is The Alliance with Kevin Rutherford who in addition to running an accounting service is also an owner operator.They seem to be somewhat pricy but you could probably work out a deal with them.

Can you give some more dtails. Were you a company employee driver or a contractor. If you are a contractor your agreement should say something about forced dispatch.Also what type of load was it?Would you be required to run ilegal??Have you refused lots of trips,if this is so you may have a bad...

If you ran for Roberts and know that type of operation very little has changed other then the name. I started with Roberts in 1987 and I would have to say things overall are better.The name change caused a drop in business for a while but things seem to have recovered nicely. I don't know if...

It's also a 100% factual truth that the more expensive the Motel room is ,the quicker you will get that run.

I change oil every 9-10,000 miles.I do very little idling.Every morning I check my fluids,it is very important due to how a diesel runs to keep your fluids topped off. The temperature on the bottom of the cylinder head and the top of the pistons can easily get to 900 degrees. When I start it up...

I remember having an alternator go out going up I 77 in Va. I pulled into a shop at Fancy Gap VA and boy did the eyes light up with "Here comes Christmas Bonus time". There was some ridiculous price quoted,I said "Forget it" waited till daytime and ran on batteries alone back to Winston Salem NC.

This post comes from a man born in Canada. When push comes to shove we are all in this together.

Just Curious,how many miles are on the engine.You said it was a 318,must be a Chrysler product?? Burnt valves that leak can also cause compression problems.

I have a FL 70 with the Fuller Eaton 6 speed and a couple of years ago at around the 500,000 mile range it used to lock up in 6th gear.It was much worse in the hot weather. I had to get a new housing cover ,new ball mechanism ,springs and so on. It cost about $1400 and while they had the...
