    load 1

    Today, I saw an amazing sight. A cutaway van with Load-1 on the side of the door and Canadian plates. I didn't know you have a Canadian fleet? So Cutaways ok?

    alignment problems

    Actually this is cupping and it is part of a problem with shocks. I don't know what you mean by sprung, springs either break or they lose their arc. If it is the latter, then the shackles would need replacing too. Overload? I think there is at least more than 10 or 12% of the rated weight...

    We Bail Em' Out....

    Well I'm amazed. .6% is really a show stopper there. Ignore the aggregate and focus on those brackets and rate. I think you and Cheri are still thinking that the top rate needs to be 60%? Make them pay! Make them pay because it is so unfair that they earned their money and didn't...

    We Bail Em' Out....

    Give you a break? Maybe if you would read a bit, outside of retirement investments, a lot of people still own stock and they are not rich. Just because Union people don't think it is cool to invest in their own company, a lot of individuals save up or belong to 'investment clubs' or using a...

    How are teams dividing the hours?

    An actual example will help and without violating the 14/11/rule. It is not for me, it is for a couple who can't figure it out and I tried to explain it to them,

    We Bail Em' Out....

    By the way 2 were suspended and 13 were "fired" for this crap. The UAW said they are staying out of it but an unnamed source within the local and another one in the HQ said that they plan on fighting the firing of these workers while Chrysler released a statement that they take this seriously*.

    We Bail Em' Out....

    Cheri, the bush idea was to simplify the tax brackets, and cut the bracket rates, not give the "rich" a tax break. It resulted in a 4% tax reduction on the top bracket with a reduction in capital gains taxes from 10 to 8%. I wasn't rich by any means but from 1999 to 2004 I fell into that top...

    A bargain truck here

    OK go look at it and get it weighed. I see a few issues, the GVW is 11k, the curb weight is the small engined short chassis and there really isn't a description why so cheap? Needs a turbo or an IP maybe?

    Take an economics class Cheri, learn how it really works in the real world. :rolleyes: Other countries have learned the lesson, we are the only one left who hasn't. Oiler, Facts are facts, the problem is that without companies and corporations, the world as we know it stops. The worker is...

    TA Menu and food choices

    Actually I get them from a bar/restaurant in Hamtramck which I think are the best around and made fresh daily. Tastes just like my friend's ma's who was off the boat from Poland.

    The Delphi Disaster or How barry and the UAW Screwed the Workers

    I've got an hour to kill so why not use it here. We compete with Germany, Japan and other countries within our borders and on the world stage. We sell products in their markets too, japan is not just about their laws preventing us from flooding their markets but also about loyalty to things...

    Ford van electrical/alternator/starter problems

    Yea the newer one you would be sitting at the dealer for four hours waiting for someone to get to your van while the parts changer has tried everything to figure out why it is not charging.

    We Bail Em' Out....

    Well that's all great but I don't see the point, what is it? I didn't see Layout's question. OPPs. This is kind of wrong. Here's why. Back in 1911 there was this odd kind of guy who worked on the railroads, actually he was production manager for some locomotive company but was hired to...

    We Bail Em' Out....

    But see there was no Canada division, it was a separate entity from GM, the same as Ford of Canada is not part of Ford Motor Company's entity. Ford can tomorrow decide to sell Ford of Canada to say Renualt and that would be a simple transaction. This was done because of the laws of Canada and...

    This is NOT carrier specific...

    Well not to be a pia, the CSA 2010 stuff posted there was no where near FedEx exclusive material, it is something that we all need to talk about but it was posted there because you felt it was FedEx exclusive material. I'm not complaining but something seems to be wrong with these carrier...
