This quote actually says a lot. Some of you act like there is some journalistic code of ethics that need to be followed on what is posted. You better have credible sources or else – that is the picture I get. Hey this is a forum, not a newspaper. Another picture I get is that some...

NO FILL IN THE BLANK WAY would I shut down. I listened to XM this morning, the two bozos on that trucking show and then Landline now. I had been thinking about this before and didn't want to say anything but here goes; It absolutely amazes me that we have truckers supporting the special...

I don't know Cheri, it sounds too complicated to me. discourse--> complaining-->group thought-->action. Ah, maybe it isn't that complicated, maybe it really means that yes it should lead to changes. It seems to me, just after reading in another thread again about a stupid strike, that maybe...

Coco, this is a hub site. I could not find any info about what you are talking about. Maybe if people want to stop complaining, go study what Buddhism is all about. I don't see them complaining much. :p But with that said, it is human nature to complain. We lack real action in the profession...

I am curious Dragonrider, how do you get a recertification when the only one who can do that is the manufacture by law? An upfitter can put a final weight to their sticker but the numbers can't exceed the GVW from the manufacture.

Those Photos are from the preproduction press kit, things may change.

Good Leo, then you and I are just two. I am absolutely fed up with hearing that one organization represents anyone while in fact they can only do so much. I say support the OOIDA 100%, give money to the PAC and other funds, become life members when you all can but don't fall into the trap...

been there, done that - E450 van I had with a 7.3 had a problem with oil leaking into the intake and it would take off if you didn't have your foot on the brake hard. Easy solution was to turn the key off instead of struggling with the brake. Turn the ignition key off next time. Saves a lot of...

Leo, The OOIDA is a great thing to join, but they are not a lobbying group, they have little influence without their members getting involved with their Political Action Committee (PAC). For some reason 160,000 members don't all contribute to their PAC but many do take the time to write. See...

OVM, Which president hasn't done unpopular things to keep the country safe? I think of you really look at Wilson and FDR and try to put that into the context of todays attitude, we would have lost both wars without firing a shot.

Humble2drive, charlotte From what I have read, ThibodeauxBayou must be talking about me. I feel special that he reads my nonsense. I find it funny that after reading Charlotte’s comments that maybe he is jealous… maybe. I like the virtual driver thing, only if he knew what I...

I like the sig P226 navy. It was the most comfortable one I ever owned with the glock 17 and 22 right behind. I don't like heavy firearms (meaning large rounds) because if I am in tight places, it slows things down. I also think the S&W detective special with a bobbed hammer is a good choice...

OVM is right, normal. Michigan used to be called the "winter wonderland" but for some reason they sold that slogan to Colorado and there went the late snow and tourism. I remember having snow on the ground in may at my grandparents house.

What I am wondering: Is how to some figure their mileage out. 'filling your tank' method is not all that precise with the issue of non-temp compensated fuel pumps and expansion or contraction of the fuel because of the external temps. I know some trucks and a lot of vans have mileage indicators...

Most companies make you pay for the signs for the tractor and the escrow. on going expenses are usually insurance, qualcomm and workmans comp. Some pay for plates but it is recommended that you get your own plates in case you leave the company. What is a DR or CR or C or B unit? These are...

Leo, I know about the wind issue with trucks but I am wondering about the gearing and the transmission combo. If I remember right, you mention that you had your setup to be in one gear for below 60 and one for above or something like that. Is that close?

Rich, Germany declared war on the US. The German high command was not prepared for Hitler to declare war on the US because they knew it would be the end for them in the long run and Japan didn't expect it. Admiral Yamamoto, who planned the attack based on a book from the 1920's, was upset...

What? Didn't anyone mention to you what they have done out there? Ok I will I spent 3 months out west. I enjoyed every minute of it except running over prairie dogs, rabbits, snakes, lizards and some thing that looked like a chipmunk. Cleaning dead animals off my tires was not a good...

David, I understand what you are saying, I used the WCC because of the hoopla that was made when they were discussing it back in 90's about the need to revise the formula. It really don't matter to me, honestly. I am too numb from the bible thumpers' at this point in my life. I am dealing with...

Don't stand in the way of flying starters.... We were unloading a truck full of started I bought in Maryland, you know those light weight starters for 1939 fords and 1941 Chevrolet trucks. Well I was right behind the truck catching them and then pitching them into the warehouse front door...
