Public where? Rio?

I also don't get it but that is one point for a lawyer to bring to the judge and he/she can decide.

The european rail system is a compeletely different animal and there is no reason that we can consider a comparison. They were originally built by the monarchies, which meant they were subsidized right from the start. Today the system works there, here it is different because the government is...

GM has decided to get back into the banking world by purchasing Americredit for $3.5B. I can't help but ask why? It seems one of the underlying issues with GM was GMAC's poor judgment on the credit end. I would think they would be smart and not try to get so greedy but again most don't get...

I agree, get the rails fixed we do need them. It's funny, CSX and other rail operators are working with a lot of trucking companies to haul more freight every day. I think we will return to the rail/regional trucking configuration in the near term.

But he didn't have control of the lane, he was in the middle of a lane change. Think of it this way. You are driving in the left lane, doing the sprinter thing at the speed limit and you are at the end of a long line of cars. Up ahead is a truck who is 4 inches from a car who is doing under...

Actually it looks like another wave of "get in to this before it is too late" thing. I know tractors are still cheap.

It wasn't the stopping to avoid hitting them that I'm talking about, but the stopping, setting the brakes and so on. If there was another vehicle behind you, all the more reason to move the truck to a safe location and then check on people. It's good to hear feedback of the service, I hope you...

Sorry about your problems. I don't know about the service you are talking about but I have been steadfast on getting a lawyer before you need one. OOIDA would be the best group to ask. I don't know why people do this, not trying to criticize you or the others but I am clear with the...

It was said in Stripes, with Bill Murray

I absolutely agree that having fresh oil in the sump will not do much good. But I don't see any place where the op said that he wants to test with fresh oil and I give him credit for asking. Steve suggest that it is a waste of time to test at all because it takes more than one test which is...

Still isn't fixed? Dude, wha'ts going on with you? You should have had that done within two weeks. I looked at a sprinter the other day and it was creamed by a large buck in Mt Pleasant. The paper work from the shop said it arrived on June 23 and it was signed for on July 2 - all finished...

Oh the tie part, that's simple - you look funny wearing a tee shirt and a tie. It has to do with the writeup in one of the magazines on appearance and business attire. Bob of Teamcaffee fame who was part of the article I think wears a tie and the proper shirt as part of their appearance package...

Yea I am very grumpy, dealing with two truck issues and an idiot mechanic.

Not really, if there is a high amount of lead or metal or other stuff in the oil it is a good indication that there are problems. The series of checks help in heading off problems.

You mean the 29 xl xe 50th anniversary special multicolored CB radio that not only checks itself but also washes the truck? I don't see why not, it isn't advertising when you are passing good info on.

I don't know, depends on when they get it. Call them.

As many as I like.

Jason, A comparison? I don't know about that. Everyone has small disadvantages and advantages, nothing contrasting that will give you a lot to go on. It seems to come down to the individual, not the company, they matter when it comes to the carrier. See I look at company selection as...

Sorry but I don't see the correlation on fleet size and the how much work is there. However I see some companies are not aggressive in keeping their fleet moving and use the hit and miss technique of revenue generation. You are a resource that is under utilized, face it if they can't stay on...
