    Double Clutch or Not?

    I don't get it? Why double clutch a synchronized trans? I have to double clutch when I am really in a hurry (which is never) because my trans does not have syncros in it and as bad as this sounds, I like it that way. Which reminds me, I have to adjust my clutch.

    Comfort Pro APU BLUES!!!

    Yea I got a few. 1 - Shearing bolts? outside of the water a/c pump issues, it sound to me that either the engine is not running smooth like it should or there is a mount problem. My reefer had a similar problem and it was the engine missing and the mounts were rotted. I ended up replacing the...

    Got the lift gate, but once I cut the floor up for the pit, that's it for the truck. And what do you think I use for the hot summer nights, my reefer!

    That is too funny.... I don't have a large 'apartment on wheels' but I can take a bath in mine (and can take a really warm shower in the box with lots of room to move around), I got my own bathroom with a view and I cook in my own kitchen. I also have a big screen TV (relatively speaking), Bose...

    Still, I stand by my post. If they are in business to make money, then they should not play games with stupid policies - eat the cost to move the freight at what is accepted between the owner and the company or tell the customer that it will cost this much and that's too bad. To me, they are...

    Government Sponsored Healthcare

    Yes OVM, the Canadian system is good for general practice issues where the costs can be kept under control but it is the catastrophic care that the system fails miserably. Living in a Border city, I seen more Canadians at my doctors office then I did any other people. My wife works with a lot of...

    I don't know what you are all complaining about. I thought that the panther life was great..... I thought that you all made that $1.20/mile straight truck and .77/mile for the vans all the time. *not including FSC or am I wrong? I don't how you all can use the word cherry pick when you...

    Denny's? OMG, it is bad enough to have the fast food places in Pilot with the workers making just above minimum wage who can't or don't or won't keep the place clean. Stop with the madness, Pilot makes a lot more money and they can tighten up the ship they are running. Last night I stopped...

    POI Factory

    For the MS S&T/Map Point users these are push pins not points of interest. I wish they would become POIs or MS allow you to add it to their little DB but you can't

    Yep my point. Nope, senators are not chosen by the states, that went out in the yearly part of the 20th century with the 17th amendment and stripped the states of their representation. All the congress can do is redistrict areas and change the level of people required in each district...

    I don't buy the excuses. 1 - old towels should be discarded, used as oil rags or sell them to truckers who want to polish their crome. This is part of doing business, what's next going into the garbage to retrieve coffee cups and stirrers 2 - Cleaning without using disinfectant opens all of...

    Thank You to Elite Dispatch

    Glad you're alright. Been there, done that. I had no problems with FedEx when I went into the hospital, they were helpful and rather concern but when I left the hospital to stay out in my truck for the 36 hours I needed and the following Monday that was a completely different story.

    OK Tallcal, I am not a fool - I know exactly what is going on with the last few shootings and other incidents that hit the news. IT HAS NOT A D*MN THING TO DO WITH ACCESS TO A GUN. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE IDIOTS WHO PRESCRIBE MEDICATION AND THE MEDICATION THAT THEY ARE ON. Is that loud...

    Angry White Man

    I was going to post this in the soap box but I didn't want to offend anyone by the Angry White Man name. I listened to an interview with the author and as many of you say, there are more than just angry white men and the suggestion to the author was to change it to the Angry American because...

    security clearance

    It means that your local law enforcement agency needs to run a local check on you. A lot of information on the Local level and in some cases the state level is not accessible to the feds - databases are not connected believe it or not.

    You know, I got to say this. I got to the point that it is great to 'debate' liberals and ignorant people (most here don't follow into that category), it makes my day most of the time because they can't come up with concrete reasoning a lot of the time but become emotional there are four...
