Viagra will not stop you from falling asleep.

OH BOY look at all them answers. I have to ask - is this a new starter or a rebuilt starter? If is new - take it back and get another one. If it is a rebuilt - take it back and get another one. Chances are that the bendix unit is defective OR in the case of some rebuilt units, there is...

This is from the FedEx forum, I don't know what the big deal is with the electronic logging thingy but I wonder what happened to the hours of service rules. OK I know people sort of fudge this, so it really isn't a big deal to me as a solo to deal with moving and not moving/unloading and not...

John who? It seems that the feds are trying to make sure we get good sleep and what we go through to do so is enough not to try to cheat. Good sleep with no interruptions from dispatch and a proper diet makes the road a safer place.

Blizzard, it isn't a spark plug issue, it is a quality control issue and it has been for many engines from 1994 (according to my ford contact) to 2008. The seriousness of this issue seems to be on par with the dreaded dowel pin issue with the millions of Cummins engines and the NTSB and the...

But Layout, we forget the past. Didn't we have in the late 60s and 70s a number of bombings and killings that are or should have been considered domestic terrorism? I know that our great president's bff is one of them. We have a few incidents a year, like this, the guy who drove his car into...

200k on the van, depends on a lot of stuff. if you are going to go cheap, get it checked out by someone who knows what they are doing. I assume it has a 6.5 in it, which can be a good engine but there are issues with the injection system. What year?

This was something I wrote for another site a while ago. OK to put this to rest and because it is a sunny 90 degree day where I'm at and I am bored on the balcony watching the waves crash, I figure I would write something for the 'How To' Section. I been asked a lot of times “How do I do...

Read the CBS article very carefully to see what seems to be the real problem with the guy. The other thing is this is being considered a terrorist act, makes you wonder where it qualifies as one.

It was switched in 1971, I got the Bank of England history lesson today.

Yea crazy it makes a lot of sense but the catch may be number 10.

There are actually a lot of good threads in the Newbie section of the forum, most of them would be a great foundation for any article. But again I would also add this - go through the process.

Ifs? Oh come on Leo, you can't legislate common sense. Look around in this profession, we have little common sense in many of the cabs and this cause us to live with those foolish blanket policies, HoS, EOBR, Medical requirements, etc... . The solution is in this profession could be...

Glad it didn't pass. The issue isn't whether the rights of the individual is being impeded but rather as layout indicated, government intrusion is being done under the guise of safety. If we were serious about safety, it would start with the licensing programs across the country and then our...

Jobs are not being created and unemployment is higher than it should be. Without the proper numbers, much of the news is suspect and with the administration cooking the books to make it look good, there are no good numbers coming out of government.

BUT what is good service and what is service that is a given? I mean where is that line when the charges come into effect? If it is five skids, no problem used my pallet jack a lot last year - my choice - but the guy's a bit on the lazy side. Sometimes it is all about the customer, not...

Aluminum head? Helicoil it!

They have a krogers in Detroit? They only one I thought was still around was shut down because of the rat problems.

Al, I stay away from almost anything propane, I don't beleive we can have a single fuel everything on board. I would look at what I suggested, a 12 volt system from the generator to the A/C. Piper runs a 12 volt A/C unit and others also have them on their vans. I would look at this as a...

I have heard this before - "I went and got my plates. I have it registered for 42K, now I can carry heavy cargo." I asked "what's the truck rated for?" "ah... I don't know I think 32k" The thing about registration doesn't give anyone a pass on the actual ratings of the truck. You have to be...
