    DEF or Diesel Exhaust Fluid

    Well some are asking for just that, the carrier paying for the DEF fluid. AND the tank issue was about extending the range of the truck, which if I would have to have a DEF system on my truck, I would fill up three times to a fill up of fuel.

    Economics E.O Style

    Sue, I think you saw the same thing I watched a bit of. But the explanation that is given is so far off that I can't stop laughing. First thing is the economist on the panel subscribe to the Keynesian theory that government has to be involved with the economy to make it work - that is a very...

    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    IRT, for what it's worth, thanks for all of that. It isn't hard to do as you shown. Another thing that many may not know is if you have a cargo problem, the load shifts and in the process you have damaged freight, the seal is no excuse UNLESS the shipper requested it through your dispatch. The...

    Yeah I expect it to happen too. I think he is using the "double my post count" app on his computer which has him posting twice. ;)

    DEF or Diesel Exhaust Fluid

    Two things I wonder about; Will there be an option to the truck to have a larger tank for the DEF? If you are compensated for fuel giving you a base price of ~$1.25, does the DEF cost impact your bottom line as much as people have claimed it will?

    US judge allows Colombians to sue Chiquita

    Maybe it would have been cheaper to just pay them the $1.7m that they paid the security force.

    Landing gear?

    Moose, What happens is the 'screw' inside the landing gear post itself a heavy load or misplaced truck tears up the threads so when the screw is turned and the legs come down, it binds up making it difficult to move when it hits the bad section on the screw. Holland and other manufacturers...

    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    Another one that is missed. How many of you actually preform a pre-trip, either a walk around or a full fledge one? How many of you actually preform a post-trip, either a walk around or a full fledge one? If you worry about CSA, you better learn what you need to do and how it is on that...

    Landing gear?

    You don't have them? I would get them installed as soon as you can. They are essential to the safety of the forklift driver and to the truck. There are a few manufacturers of them, basically they are all the same. BUT I would look at the truck junk yards for used because the only thing...

    My lord tons of repo straights

    I read all of this banter and wonder when are you guys going to understand that many of us are not running expedite freight but ltl freight and the line between what expedite freight is and what ltl freight is has been blurred more in the past year. What many times makes this actualy expedited...

    Jack Kevorkian dies

    Well see I too have seen suffering but also know first hand the ramifications of "Jack's" crusade which make me angry when people try to justify his work as humanitarian. It should only be between a patient and their doctor - no one else which "jack" brought the law and the public into it. Yes...

    Gadget Addiction Leads to Selling of Teen's Kidney

    Really we do? OK I guess. I would think that equality means equality but there isn't in a lot of the world today. I'm all for equality in business but don't see it, I actually fought for this when I was working at the pharma company. BUT as I am trying to stir up trouble the past few days...

    John Edwards indicted

    Well as I said, I have no sympathy for people like that, including their children. It comes from growing up with people like them who are elitist in both attitude and arrogance. I just can't feel sorry for them, no matter how I try to and to think I'm criticize for my feelings when I wasn't the...

    So Glenn Beck Thinks He's A Prophet Now?

    I think you missed the point, many pray to the cross which represents God, this to other religions is praying to a deity not God. If there is a likeness to Jesus on the cross, and people are praying to it, then it is the same case. Being Catholic, we prayed to the cross, we bowed in front of it...

    John Edwards indicted

    So you don't agree that we should actually have sympathy for those who can afford the staff and have the trust fund instead of those who have and will have to face life without the money?

    I think we gave foreign aid to Canada as part of the GM bailout for plant improvements.

    So Glenn Beck Thinks He's A Prophet Now?

    Do you pray in church? Does the church have a cross? Do you pray to an image of Jesus? It is all the same thing, you are praying to a man made deity.

    Chris Christie takes state helicopter to son’s baseball game

    Dennis, in all honestly if anything is old, it is the polly syndrome you have demonstrated which you can't get pass. Maybe reading outside of the herd blogs and opinion sites would help and so would expanding your mind to get fresh points of view could help while not worry about what I post...

    So Glenn Beck Thinks He's A Prophet Now?

    Muslims believe that Jesus, Moses and Abraham were all important prophets to their religion and to Judaism. They worship the same God but in a different way. They seem to believe the trinity was man's justification for Christians to be separate from Judaism was the creation of the trinity. In...
