Saw a champagne-colored Panther D-unit in Honey Brook, PA at 1645 today. Anyone we know?

OK, but how's the food?

And we'll all be saying "Ni Hao, Boss" when we go to work. Oh what a sad day that will be... :(

What is this "Halo Burger" of which you speak? I am but a lowly East Coaster; please be gentle :D

Had a thought last night: how about a raised roof with door extensions, like you see on paratransit vans? Depending on how you order it, you could gain an extra 18 inches of headroom, or more, with up to a foot of extra door height? Might be just the thing for people who aren't into Sprinters....

How much is the FSC? At 26cpm it would make the whole trip pay 96 cents per mile. Times 2100 miles, that's $2016.00. If you use the accepted standard 1/3 split, that's $672 each to fuel, van and driver. Might be a tight squeeze with a big van payment. EDIT: FSC is .41, per LDB. Just the same...

The PA Turnpike is an old road. It opened in 1940 between Carlisle (Exit 226) and Irwin (67), with NO speed limit; signs warned motorists to slow to 90 for the curves :eek: . On two-ply tires, no less! :eek: :eek: :eek: Pearl Harbor put the brakes to that. In the intervening years...

Once again, as a newbie (pre-newbie to be honest) who's flying above his ceiling again, I may not have authority to talk, but: Phil and Diane were fired over the phone. They asked, and answered a few questions, turned in their QC the next morning, etc. They did what they needed to do to...

This one happened on the PA turnpike near Donegal, about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh. Driver Killed In Turnpike Tour Bus Crash ID'd - News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh Once again, an early morning crash involving a driver who'd been rollin' all night. Only he was killed, but 23 passengers were...

Don't know about Aimster, but for me it boils down to this: I can't GET a medical card, because my right eye doesn't correct to 20/40. I tried to get the vision waiver from the FMCSA, but they turned me down. Reason? Because I wasn't ALREADY driving CMVs!! WTF??

That ref deserves a red card :(

You wouldn't catch me idling a beast like that! Put that bahstid in Drive and let it run! :D

If GM can't help you, try to find a trusted, independent transmission shop to assist you. I had a shudder at 35-45 mph in my Ford van, a '94 with an E4OD. My mechanic wanted to put a Jasper in, and just about any chain tranny shop will sell you a rebuild job for $2000+. I ended up taking the van...

Mazel Tov, Phil and Diane, and good luck! So the Fed gave you 10 day's notice? Well, they wouldn't have given you a pizza run after that, so thank God you were ready to go! Just the same, I will leave you with a thoroughly fractured Irish proverb: "may ye be at Landstar a half hour before...

I'm a noob, so take this with a grain of salt, but: Is the Fed trying to save money by replacing high-value, high-cost expediters like Phil & Diane with LTL drivers? One team in a tractor can pull a trailer with twice the capacity of a straight truck, and deliver the load in pretty much the...

"got your mother in a whirl, she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl" David Bowie, "Rebel Rebel", 1970something.... :) Although, with all this winning going on, maybe Charlie Sheen has joined the ranks :eek:

Well, most of what I've seen when it comes to texting & cell phone tickets has been in NYC. One of my coworkers got a $125 ticket for using the push-to-talk button on his Nextel. In the years Michael Bloomberg has been mayor, revenue enhancement by the police and parking authority has been...

True! :) But I was talking about the ones between 10 and 26K. They're the ones who used to slip by because the cops assumed they were being driven by Ma & Pa; the Kettles are not operating in interstate commerce. Now, however, they've had to wise up and have a look just to be sure. Don't...

Diet and exercise are the best solutions to controlling diabetes, as well as strict compliance to your medical regimen. Only problem is, in the words of five young Marines in 1963, it's YouTube - ‪Easier said than done - The Essex - HD‬‏

To some extent, I think it depends what the cops are looking for. For years, U-Hauls, Penskes, and other DIY-mover trucks have been able to sail past the chicken coops without raising an eyebrow. Now, they're getting pulled in because Smokey knows people without authority are trying to slip past...
