    '08 Cascadia hood hinge warning

    I saw them replace one of these hinges a while ago, it was rodent damaged and it is a lot of work. BUT as I am typing about maintenance things today, maybe to put on your list of things to do is to hit the hinges with some sort of spray lube

    Okla Tells barry to "Stick It"..Won't take Fed funds for barrycare

    States won't win because we elect our senators. States won't win because the feds can hold back education funds, environmental funds and commerce funds not to mention the funding for all the police, cities and counties under the guise of homeland security (why does the words have a soviet...

    Read it and weep ...

    Read it and weep? About what? Another outsider who just interviewed a few truckers and some people who are in midsized companies and now it is a bleek BS future? The first line that showed it was a BS article is this "There’s been a lot of hype about jobs in the trucking industry lately...

    Tips?

    Is that what I'm called? I agree with Phil, ethics plays a role in it, refusing money is the right thing to do when it comes to something that the carrier can be involved with. I ask for them to use me and my carrier again.

    I don't know about "stole" but if you made enough to pay the amount of taxes that the shuttle cost, then have at it.

    I Seriously Need Some Expert Advice

    I don't know where these things come from but it seems that asking the right questions may be better than making a stand about no bills, etc... The first thing that comes to mind is why JD ?? and FedEx? The second thing is how many solo straight truck drivers have you actually talked to? I...

    memorable roads

    You know Moose, the brits at one time were going to convert the entire country to the proper side of the road, they had everything ready to join the rest of the world but someone in some little town complained that the roundabouts would not work properly, claiming they were designed to go one...

    Well then let's just scrap it and put the pieces on eBay to recover some of the cost.

    Problem with van

    Sounds like the modulator for the torque converter clutch is not working right. Take it to the dealer, ask a mechanic to come for a ride with you and let them see it in action. I would consider a new trans being in your future.

    Business tax cuts don’t spur more capital spending, study shows

    Just to reinforce what' your saying ... It may be true that we manufacturer more here but the correlation with manufacturer jobs and output is not there any more. What I mean is this simple fact, as we grow our manufacturing with technology, the job growth doesn't happen - we get more...

    BS!!! No Shuttle for Houston but one for NY??

    Sorry to say this but the only place it should be is at the National Air and Space Museum. If not there, then the Airforce Museum in Dayton.

    $265,000 to welfare in a few years-

    When companies pay taxes, we pay the bill for them through higher prices of their product and services. Cheri, no one has yet explained the reality of the words fair share. I feel people like Gates and Buffet have reached a level of wealth that they can give most of it up, they have yet to help...

    '08 Cascadia hood hinge warning

    I don't see why you can't hit the hinge with some lube of some sort, even PBlaster. It moves so there should be some little gap there.

    $265,000 to welfare in a few years-

    Why would you want to hide anything, the system works like this - assets are not taken into account for most. IT is only those who seem to shuffle between job/welfare who get flagged for asset disclosure. But see Chef, if we all thought the way this guy thought, our country would be in a big...

    "Atlas Shrugged"

    Who Me? Of course. I read most of what she has written that I could find. The Detroit Public Library used to have a great collection of her stuff (first editions and her RD stuff), and many others things along the same line by writers like Huxley but alas, it got tossed with the garbage when...

    EOBRs and Driver Harrassment

    Not really, by regulation it has to indicate to the driver that the system has been tampered with as a "Cease to Function" indication with a recording of the time and date. It also has to indicate a "sensor failure" and record the time and date.
