    anybody moving out there?

    If you are sitting over at Olive Branch J, walk over past the bar and get some BBQ form the carry out place, it isn't the greatest but it is good or head over to the bar and have a drink or two of a soda and some wings. DO NOT EAT THEIR CAT FISH.

    12v ameter gage

    OK, I thought this look like another post. I have an FL70, soon to grow up.... but anywho when my alternator failed, it went to 12 volts on the gage. When I got a new one, it was at 13 volts for some reason until I cleaned all the cables. Then it popped up to 13.5 to 14.1 depending on a lot of...

    Trucking firm to ask for $1 billion in bailout cash

    Didn't I say that somewhere else? At least someone else gets it. The teamsters are involved, I understand that their pensions are handled by the teamsters not the company and even though they handle it, it may be the case where the teamsters will dump it on you and me through some union...

    as the noose tightens...

    It doesn't! What puts the car companies at a disadvantage is the union when it comes to labor cost is retiree benefits. The UAW who has made billions off of the companies and should have forced the take over of the pensions by the members of the UAW long ago, the teamsters and operating...

    In which stage of decline is your expediting business?

    Wow, what a question. Phil can you rephrase that, because there is more to this than what stage is anyones business at when using the article. Maybe a lot of people will not get what you are saying... oh yea that's right you can't see my post..... The article fits into expediting but not as...

    A Question for SUCCESSFUL Solo Drivers

    Oh so I am not the only one. Makes sense.... ignore your detractors regardless what good they bring to the community and control the content that you want to see. That is unprofessional ---- there I said it. I guess it is like linking things in posts in your blog, it is not done to inform...

    New to EO

    Welcome and glad to see more animal people out here. I got a really dumb question; I wonder how well do beagles like the road with that energy?

    Shades of Things to come to the Trucking Industry??

    This is the part that scares me, the only reason they want the loan is to start off loading their pension costs onto the tax payer. This really may not lead to a "Government Takeover", but a change in direction for the company to be led by the government. The news I heard yesterday was the need...

    Oh My great Sprinter

    Huh? I too did a lot of restoration work and worked with aluminum heads and engines (from Ardun V8 fords to ZL1 to a Marmon V16), I never heard that one. There are a few times I would work on them cold, but if it is removing plugs or bolts, hotter the better. Aluminum expands greater then steel.

    Advice for Carrier Executives

    I think Phil is right to a point, as many will expect me to trash him, my post is not about trashing him but throwing in some random thoughts that may be augment his position. For the past 12 months I have been talking to people who make their living studying economics and the political...

    There is more to life on the road than truck stops.

    I understand what you are saying but not all of us can do that. Many have to deal with touchy boards where they move 100 feet, they lost their position in high congested truck centers, while others will lose their board position by going out of service and others are not pre-dispatched.

    as the noose tightens...

    Oh just wait..... wait until rationed healthcare is a fact. I was talking to someone who is pretty smart about this, sat on the board of BCBS for a few years and been involved with Obama's health care plan. He made a pretty good observation; It seems that the push for universal healthcare is...
