Why worry? If the owner/operators and the small fleets don't step up to the plate and really complain to put the feds on notice, it is going to happen irregardless what our Constitution and previous court decisions say. This is in effect telling an out of state trucker that they can not enter...

Look Leo, there are bigger things to worry about, like the state of Texas deciding to follow Montana's lead in exemption of the federal gun laws. Montana passed a law exemption guns manufactured inside the state and sold inside the state out of the hands of the federal government. The law was...

Turtle, a lot of states also have "wipers on - headlights on" laws but I don't see those enforced at all. It would be nice if these sprinter and van drivers would turn on their lights when it gets dark out during a storm but alas a lot of them don't.:p

That brings up the question if gas van owners know that they are dependent on Diesel prices?

I always flash my HBs for a quick second, the problem is that a lot of these guys/gals are not looking in the mirror and they can see the flash easier than taking their eyes off the road and waiting to see if they are clear. The bigger problem for me is when they turn their turn signal on and...

So here is one thing, if you look for your own work because panther allows you to, you can make money. The problem I see is this thinking in the box thing, I mean and not to sound pessimistic and all that but you can't look at the weekly averages and complain, you got to look at the monthly...

Sorry, I should have detailed this, the code I am talking about is different from the code that is used to change the fuel maps. Fuel maps are created to cover specific app (diesel ecm with manual trans is different from a diesel ECM with an auto) and the ECM has a section that can be flashed to...

You know that this goes the other way too, look at say Randy Rhodes, she has called for Bush to be assassinated (which I can't understand why she wasn't arrested like others and put in jail), claimed to be beaten up by some right wing nut job and is pretty much a poor choice for anyone to listen...

Buddha = Doug? OK first it was turtle, than it is Doug but who will it be next week?

Just to throw this into the mix, Hypermilers are ones who are dangerous because of their speed - slow.

The reprogramming has to do with the actual code within the ECM, not something that is done with an after market programmer. Ford, like Cummins protects that code and the complexity of the code is not something that I would want some hack messing with. So I would say that you can talk to Ford...

Please don't take this wrong, TLC, I really hope the best for you but as one has tagged me as the in house pessimist, I am concern and I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but if you have all of this knowledge, what makes people think that they will make it under these conditions? People who...

Yea a lot of things....

The PSA (bloodtest) is not perfect or the only way to go. A lot of doctors want to do an exam, because the prostate can be inflamed but not show signs of cancer or have cancer and inflamed prostate can lead to other problems... Also just an FYI, I think they are looking at the occupation and...

I don't get many who are saying we are recovering, we are not. The people I know say the same thing, they don't know and can not predict a recovery but again they consider we have been in a recession since 2001 in the real sense. The entire premise of this new economy is recovery is based on a...

Not to change the subject but it ties into the salmonella turtle. You know it is really tiring to deal with elderly people who actually believe some doctors regardless what they say, these people are soaking them for their Medicare money. The other day we told my Mother-in-law that we will...

Well it don't matter anyway because I am very very bored tonight and so worn out from this week but you didn't get the jab I threw in there.. so you must be bored too and tired too. Hey I did meet a FedEx expert today, after 18 months on with FedEx, he is fulfilling the purple promise and...

Moot, please please post more reaction drills so we all can learn from the great Moot. They are so better than other reaction drills.

Yea I know but I used your name as a jumping off point for a long boring post - sorry.....

Dale, What's confusing? Everyone has their own way of looking at things, the people who never drove a truck before look at things different than the people who have been doing the OTR thing for 10 years. I say that 5 years is a good learning curve, if one is moving a round a bit or is...
