If we enforced a "necessary" criteria, this site would make a morgue look lively...Was Moot's post on missing cables necessary, for example? All it contributed was a bit of amusement, and even though it was at my expense, I enjoyed it too - none of us are perfect. I would add to THawk's...

The engine is a Detroit diesel 60.

The owner/mechanic of my truck told me to put in transmission fluid, he said any cheap ATF is good. I've been adding it, every other tank, and no problems so far - any opinions?

Hi, and welcome - we're glad you came out of the shadows, and into the light. We'll keep an eye out for you, on the road, and if anyone tells you that the newer EO member buys the coffee - it's a tradition. That started just this minute, but I like it, traditions are a good thing.;) PS Last...

Thanks, RLENT, that's the kind of stuff we like to, um, hear, lol. ;)

With the last post, suggesting that EO is concerned about an attack or boycott by what he offensively calls "the Sodomite crowd", Firegears has gone off into the Twilight Zone, and further discussion is pointless.

Mine was no mystery - I felt the tug, when I pulled into a small shopping plaza to turn around. I didn't see the cables, though, till I pulled back out onto the highway. I've known that there was a loose flap of trim on top of the box for awhile, just didn't realize what it could do, grabbing...

Anyone who has either quit driving when the HOS demand it, in spite of feeling good to continue, or driven hours beyond the time they felt like stopping, in order to satisfy the HOS rules, can understand what cognitive dissonance is, lol. Firegears, the media prints a lot of "news" about Paris...

I tried to put it back where it belongs, really - but it stuck tight to the top of my truck, thanks to the loose piece of metal that caught it in the first place, on top of the box. Note to any other driver who asks a fellow driver for assistance: try to find one who hasn't got a cameraphone...:+

In light of Firegears' request to sit next to DaveKC at the EO breakfast, and his latest declaration of a desire to drive for DaveKC, (if he were to drive for snyone else), I believe Moot is onto something. I'd like to reassure Firegears, though, that most of us don't really care what goes on...

It's true, Firegears: most of us couldn't care less who is sleeping with whom, providing those involved are consenting adults, and not a significant other of our own. We have more relevent concerns, you know? I don't see any evidence of a "gay agenda", except in certain publications - what I...

I have a fridge on AC, and it works very well. It's just like any other fridge, only smaller, even including a freezer that keeps ice frozen. I do turn off the invertor when leaving the truck off for longer than 12 hrs, if not hooked to shore power, which means emptying the fridge. On several...

Lanier: where you see people bashing the poster, I see people making every effort to be HELPFUL instead. Answering the specific question "how long do you wait before deadheading home?" would be of no help, because if you've been out here for more than a few months, you know there isn't one...

Ok, Broom, enough with the hugs, here's the deal: if you stop visiting us, I may have to pass your cellphone number on to a few dozen people who want to know how you're doin, see? ;) Just kidding - maybe....:P

Did I read that right? Does it say that it's your responsibility to ensure the terms agree with your contract, and the dispatcher's offer, and then say "terms subject to change"?! If it's going to change, why 'ensure' it?!

Rfrogger, you also asked whether a cooler would help cut your food bill, and the answer is yes - absolutely. The more you can purchase at places less expensive than truckstops, the less you will pay for it. You'll also have a better selection, and food that's right at your fingertips. If you do...

Yikes - methinks I need the glasses! I Googled it, and read "navigation", not "lighthouses" :+ There is a very nice lighthouse, in Celina, Ohio, on Lake Grand St Mary, I think - it's about half size, and quite a pretty accent to a lovely small town.

I think we're getting off topic here...whatever it was('nt) originally ;)

You're not going to like my question, either, but: are you out on the road to work, or take your wife shopping? I know that sounds cold, but seriously, does she drive? Are you a team, or what? If your wife is a codriver, does she not share your financial goals? If she doesn't drive, why are...

Broom, it's navigation - and you don't need the glasses, to 'Google' a word, lol.:P
