    Ah.... cops would have more work, doctors would be busy and there would be more government workers trying to oversee the safety in the auto companies.

    showers for gas burners

    Cheri, Yes I do that too, but I have had to pay at some J's and Pilots for a jug of ice. What I am getting at is the bag of ice and the gallon of spring water that is either in the coolers or the water is out on a display. The same goes for some of the snacks with their 130% markup.

    To Sen. Scott Brown's Daughters: Welcome to Politics

    Honestly, this thing about children being off limits is a bit too much at times. A lot of politicians prostitute their children to leverage their careers into something greater, and when the people parade their children around as part of the campaign or after they are elected, it is open season...

    showers for gas burners

    I heard, maybe this is wrong but Pilot claims that out of the amount of card holders that get qualified shower credits, only 15% are used. I would rather say screw the shower - reduce the prices across the board for the supplies, drinks and snacks. Water at $4 a gallon is a bit much as is ice...

    Anyone Else Also?

    How about the basic rule of making money? My God sometimes all of this bs does, is hurt the company's bottom line. Who cares if the guy is at home or the dispatcher has favorites, what matters is if the company can use the resources it has to move the customer's freight. If the company...

    Traffic Enforcement Cameras Coming Down

    Well while we are on the subject, LA has decided to boycott Arizona, but they have an exception. The company that installed and maintains the traffic enforcement cams across LA is in Arizona and they have a contract with them until this fall. LA decided to 'allow' them to continue on with...

    showers for gas burners

    Er.. just wanted to point out that it seems they cater to commercial vehicle operators with the 'free' showers but isn't the point that vans and sprinters not commercial vehicles?

    Landstar Express straight trucks

    It all depends. If you are trying to make money, then it doesn't matter where the work comes from. If you are trying to capture just express work, then the board(s) are not good for you. A number of loads appear on the board that are express loads, they can be found with a patients but...

    Rand McNally TND 700

    Mark, It seems as I said before, you are talking about TWO different issues and deflecting one by shifting to the other. Power issue has nothing to do with the laptops and their ability to communicate with the product. The units don't have enough power from the USB port to run, which is...

    ac nightmare in sprinter van

    I don't doubt what you are saying Steady but wouldn't it be prudent to first rule out the A/C unit itself? The changing of the expansion valve and flushing the system may be a good thing. Is this blending issue with 2006 models too?

    Rand McNally TND 700

    Dude, This is hilarious, sorry but it is. pleeze, the engineers should be able to throw together a few test cables in an hour or so. If not, call Tyco and have them figure it out and Tyco will send them cables that have more than 4" between the laptop ends. You do know who Tyco is? ASK...

    ac nightmare in sprinter van

    GO to any A/C shop. Have them put the gauges on the system and see if there is first freon in the system and then if there pressure being built up on the high side and the compressor disengaging. If you have pressure on the high side, then the system is sort of working, seeing that the ECU...

    Rand McNally TND 700

    OK with the millions of lines of words, I forgot that, but nevertheless, it still shows a problem with the unit because between two ports, there should be enough current to drive the unit. But I asked this before, if it didn't work, how was it setup? Was there current measurements taken at...

    Landstar Express straight trucks

    With all that said ... Landstar will not let you book your own loads. A lot of times, the load board (internal) will have loads that will fit on your truck but the agent refuses to let it happen. (see the third comment) If you have tractor experience, think Ranger and get a tractor (just a...
