    What do you eat if you need to drive all night?

    One cup of coffee, cold with a shot of espresso and some snacks. Outside of that, proper sleep and a good meal before without a lot of carbs but with some fat in it. You mean soybeans? You can get them in toasted form with all kinds of stuff on them, from Frank's RedHot Sauce to that funny...

    Fun! Fun! Fun!

    You have a truck, so I assume you have an air hose and maybe some water hose. Drain the water tank, open up a couple valves and stick the air hose on one of the faucets. If the freezer is full, then it is good for at least a few days it not a week in this weather. This morning it was 10 when I...

    Hid headlights

    Of course they are acceptable, they are factory lights. The manufacturer has to abide by specific specs when engineering the lighting system and hence the allowance of retrofitting HID (and LED) lights to a like vehicle.

    Pull the main fuses, shut the water off and send some air through it and go.

    Tyson Foods cancels Labor Day adds Muslim holiday

    AND? This is three year old news and it brought out the idiots and bigots. By the way it wasn't true.

    Gas and Diesel Prices

    John, I don't know if you know this but if we tap all the supplies within our reach, the price of oil would first slide than work its way back up to the present price. See We do not depend on "foreign" oil as we did back in the 70's - the market has changed a lot, really a lot since then...

    Ford Vans with Sprinter bodies types

    I think it may be a learning experience that you can use later on. I would rather work with a dealer who is willing to find answers than one who isn't. I thought there was a place on Wyoming that you can get it weighed, the last time I was there it cost me a whole $3 but I can't remember the...

    The military-civilian "disconnect"

    Not much. I think back in the 30's the same case was made that we could only depend on 35% of the male population under 35 wasn't fit to fight. In 1941, even with the influx of volunteers, the rejection rate was something like 21%. Even going into '43, they had to raise the age for recruits...

    Again was that a comment we are supposed to ponder?

    Ford Vans with Sprinter bodies types

    Thanks. I think you are understanding the issue we are having when we talk about weight, capacity and such. It is good you are going the extra step to get us answers. This has happened to me a lot - I go into a Ford dealer, explain the situation to them and what I need but they don't have a...

    Fun! Fun! Fun!

    OK.... should this be a moment to ponder something bigger than any of us or should we comment on it? OK I'll take the latter ... If you have a stove to cook on, then you have hot water.

    C/V's Dead?

    Well Phil, you have met at least one person who thinks vans are direct competition and you have heard the complaints too.

    Cargo vans and sprinters....

    Thanks, now for another L-1 (John) question, how about allowing the owner to get a load from say a load board and doing a multiple load with those loads?

    Texas poised to pass bill allowing guns on campus

    Dale I agree with most of that but the problem is the perception by most of the people in this country who have grown up in an environment that either they are taught that they shouldn't be inquisitive or just follow the leader/experts. One of the worst comments but the best to illustrate the...

    Cargo vans and sprinters *ROUNDTABLE*

    John, Hypothetical question, I have a 2005 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 chassis with a custom box. I have space for 4 pallets (8 stacked and yes they can be plastic totes stacked) on the floor with 3000 lbs of cargo capacity. Does the age of this van matter to you? Would an Yellow Ryder...

    Cargo vans and sprinters....

    Charles, OVM, John, et. al., How many companies will or do allow their B unit capacity to be used to the fullest extent? I mean how many of you double and triple book loads to fill that capacity when you have a chance? I understand with NLM you can not always do this (and there are...

    Be Careful Today

    Driving was good this morning, nothing out of the ordinary. Got the car stuck at the foot of the driveway thanks to the plow guy. Got cut off several times by idiots on cell phones. Saw a car completely covered in snow except for a 4 inch hole in the windshield - it is the new Detroit...

    Texas poised to pass bill allowing guns on campus

    We treat adults as children, when they should be treated as adults. When do we let kids grow up and be adults. This seems to be illustrated with some political parties and 'activist' needing them to be adults when there is voting but otherwise they are incapable of defending themselves and...

    Re: Mother's fury at school sending boy, six, to psychiatric ward after he drew video Wasn't LA county the place they did the pilot programs for the suicide hot lines when the economy was going into the crapper? Something like a 300% increase in volunteers and professions have been installed...

    Need to find a post by Turtle-

    Just an FYI They were bailed out once with taxpayer money, the other time the US government guaranteed the loans and not one penny of tax payer money was ever used. They paid their loans back early and with the full interest not like now when the loans will be forgiven. About the transit...
