Of his son gets in, then I would like to sell his district to Ohio.

With all of this massive unemployment, bordering on the highest ever, we must decide whether or not our citizens should get jobs here or not. Like H1b visas, there are plenty of people here who are natives of the US that can do the job. But again we must listen to the experts, like McCain who...

According to yesterday's senate committee meeting over the AIG mess, we own that brass, not the DOD so we are entitled to that brass in its bought form at the highest US bidder.

A lot of us do a lot more and never ever post a thing about it. There seems to be something behind the intent of the thread because to me it wasn't about asking for help but making a point for some reason. If I was this guy, I would not want my story told to a bunch of strangers on an open...

Well there has to be a time and place for everything, abusing their position and being in office for 50 plus years is an abuse, a lot of others could have been more effective in that seat than he has.

yea something like that, putting your bottom of the shift point at or near the lowest point to move the truck. In my case, I can shift at 1500 to third and fourth, 1600 to fifth and sixth and 1650 for seven which gives me better mileage. The service techs should have a TB on this, I know that...

Layout, Here is a cure, pitch the APU and get a generator and a separate A/C unit. If the problem with CARB is really a problem, get a 40 gallon tank put on the truck, use gas and no more CARB issues - they only care about diesel units.

Don't give up on the Dog yet. What type of dog do you have?

I don't know if you are in Dingell's district but if you are, work for the opposition during the 2010 election. Get rid of these guys.

I understand that it improves the mileage regardless. I have driven two trucks, one with and one without and I saw a bit more acceleration with the reprogramming change. Does anyone else had this done to their autoshift?

It is not the government who has to do this, the people have to get smart about it and the truckers need to get out in the public's face and tell them what this all means. As for food from Mexico, we can grow it here, there is enough land to provide the food. [/FONT][/COLOR] This is NPR...

So Big John, I would rather discourage someone from entering this business until things get better, which may take a while. Being realistic is important but also so is telling it like it is without fluff is as important. Many are promoting this work as they have in the past, but they don't...

Seeing that the word plagiarism is used here somewhere, here is Wikipedia's explanation; Progressive shifting is a technique for changing gears commonly practiced by drivers of semi-trailer trucks. It is meant to reduce fuel consumption — something very important for drivers who travel several...

AIG was large donors to political office holders. The real issue for me is not AIG but what in the h*ll are we giving tarp money to foreign banks for? Do we now own a stake in these banks, like the following banks; Deutsche Bank AG Societe Generale Calyon Rabobank Danske Royal Bank of...

Can these be programmed for progressive shifting?

The Unions want this to happen, they want the bodies and the influence in Mexico, they want the money and to control things for themselves.

WOW! That says a lot, an awful lot!

Big John, Exactly, the problem is now that he owes the family, it puts them at risk. The prudent thing to do is sell the truck for exactly what is owed to the family and some extra to live on until he gets another job or drives for someone else. But no one seems to want to tackle the carrier...

Opportunities? Well it depends on the person and their ability to either use their skills or gain access to learn new skills. Practical experience teaches people it all depends on more than just the person and their attitude. Phil, you may be right, but again it matters to offer people a...

You are right, I don't know the terms of the lease but again I question why he was in this situation with the carrier and why he didn't think of a way out. I am using his situation to illustrate a point that this is not as easy as some make it out to be, some get trapped, like this guy while...
