Methinks the business the Col is engaged in down in the Keys is more monkey than trucking....:D (Yes, I am jealous - aren't you?)

As you can see by the number of posts Expediteroftime has contributed, he/she is not exactly a regular member here. And honestly, few of the regulars drive t/t, so the pool of members who can offer the information you're looking for is limited - I'd suggest visiting a truckstop, and talking to...

I yam! Denver was white-knuckle driving, with several inches of snow on 70, more falling steadily, no lane markers visible, (people were just guessing where the lanes were :eek: ) no plows or saltshakers out, wipers crusted with ice, (yes, Linder, I should have ordered the icebusters already)...

Of course you're correct, Leo, but life is full of surprises, as you proved - sometimes, the ts we were planning to stop at, isn't what we expected. Case in point: I exited I 10 in Phoenix at 138, heading for the Pilot. Which is now a Liberty ts, and they charge for parking, without a fuel or...

Junior vs senior member might have to do with how many posts you've contributed, rather than how long you've been a member, I think. If so, I'm on my way to becoming a 'founding member', any time now, lol:p

Yes, 'sophisticated' is misspelled, and it's bugging me. Not the misspelled word, but that I thought the new format has a spellchecker, and now I can't find it......:confused:

The 'friends' option is fun - except there isn't any automatic notification, (are you listening, development team?) so if folks don't click on the "friend requests" tab at the bottom of their profile page, they never know they've been asked!:confused:

Ark, the attitude shown in the last 3 sentences of the post above, is what your wife needs to hear. (You do tell her, right?) You can't feel what she feels, but you can make sure she knows how YOU feel, and that's the best you can do for her. (Unless the time comes that she is pregnant - then...

I'm basking like a lizard in the Phoenix sun, oh yeah!:p But I earned it - first delivering in Aspen, at the X Games, (almost worth the 47 ft of snow), then picking up in Denver last night, when it was truly nasty: near whiteout blizzard conditions on 70. Now I'm hiding, till I get the truck...

Col, do I detect a bit of disapproval in your inclusion of my statement in your post? If so, I wouldn't have run the APU at all, if this truck weren't wired so that I have to run the APU to use the main inverter. I'm afraid that all the power drains will kill the batteries - and I can jumpstart...

Welcome, Al, and thanks for volunteering to contribute your expertise to EO. The more information we have to draw upon, the better we can act upon it, and volunteers are the best kind of folks, hands down.:)

Lisa: drinking enough water to dilute the test sample is not as easy as you'd think. If you did manage it, they'd want to retest you immediately, dilution being one method used by individuals to 'clean up their act' after the fact. The simple truth is that in a genuinely random selection, you...

That's good to hear, if it means you're not supporting too many single moms, lol ;)

Oh, so THAT'S what DaveKC means by "businessperson first, driver second" huh? :p Can't afford to buy too many friends just now - this IS the slow period, you know. Can only buy the cheap ones, till it gets busy again, but with any luck, I'll be able to buy some really good friends, by summer! :)

One of the new features of this format is the ability to invite folks to be a friend. It seems lots of you haven't gone there yet, by clicking on the subject 'friend requests' at the very bottom of your profile page, on the left hand side. Does everyone but me have enough friends already? :confused:

I looked at the CARB website, and got confused on just one point: it says that engines with a model year prior to 2007 can use APUs that are "federal or state certified" - but nowhere does it explain how to determine whether the APU on one's truck is certified. I spent 2 days in Sacramento...

Romantic love can't be counted upon to last forever, but love for your children & family will. Good looks don't last, but character does. Possessions get broken, lost, or outlive their usefulness - better to collect friends instead. 90% of what's on television isn't worth watching...

Reverend: anyone who doubts your sincerity, or genuine kindness, needs their head examined, IMO. May your tenure with the Mod Squad bring you many blessings.:)

Thanks Dreamer. I believe I'll print your reply & save it, in case I ever need to explain the "giant hypodermic needle" to some law enforcement type person...:D

Dodge is the least desirable van, as far as freight hauling, due to the rear door height limit. The others have a 48" vertical opening, where the Dodge has just 46", due to latches top & bottom. This can be made 47" by removing the bottom latch, (which will probably get knocked off anyhow, by...
