    But Ark, Brittney represents the yut of the america... she with her new found excuse why she has gone off the deep end is attracting attention from many more celebrities to rally support behind mental illness. I would love to see honest discussions about mental health take place by the elite in...

    K&N air filter for Sprinters

    I said this before and I got somewhat of a puzzling response when I said it; using the K&N or Amsoil filter will raise the silicone level of you oil. The reason being is that the dust particles don't get flushed out of the cylinder and with the blow by caused by wear on the rings, it ends up in...

    Question on Weigh Stations !

    When I pulled into the scale on I20, I would assume that his command when I pulled into the parking spot and he stood next to my van "I want to see your insurance, registration and log book, please" meant that I did indeed as a van have to log. No hazmat, no nothing except 2000lbs of metal.

    Question on Weigh Stations !

    I didn't have any problems in the van, they looked at my log and told me to go but I got a full inspection and a lecture at the only scale house in Alabama in the truck. The officer was really nice but he was quick to point out the facts.

    Question on Weigh Stations !

    SO turtle you do this for free? If you haul for compensation and/or for hire (including contracting), you are commercial. The state of Michigan is flaky, a lot of the dot officers don't care about vans but a few are by the letter guys/gals and will get you. There are actually two statutes...

    Cisco T/Stops

    Now only when they force the retailers to install temp compensators on the pumps, it will be a good thing.

    Hey Guys, Welcome.. Rule Number one - An awful lot of rules in this industry (trucking) are written by insurance companies. Many companies may hire you without hesitation but their insurance companies won't allow it.

    Why would that be a shock, I agree with a lot of what you say but I got to just throw in some things so I seem more boring than anyone else. :)

    A wave of new Expediters?

    Perceived quality, real quality, you can't cut it any which way, the domestics can't/won't/unable to/approach the quality that the Japanese have been putting into their product. The real fact about the equality of the product quality is not the raising of the domestic product quality but the...

    Deep thoughts

    Turtle, That must be a new thing. When I was 9, I got a hard life lesson on how people had to work before we had all these conveniences, like electric lights and potty boxes on rails. I was already used to using the outhouse that my grandparents had, they never had inside plumbing in their...

    Twisted messages?

    I read all about the big to do about nothing where Billy Ray apologized for his indiscretion on not having Hanna Montana buckled up while filming her on the way to a rehearsal (was he driving while he was filming her?). I don't think he should have apologized but made a point to make sure that...

    This takes the cake!

    I am with Col here. I had a problem last year with a slight kidney stone and knew I could have made it home if I really wanted to but no way would I be able to drive so there was a decision of either calling the big white taxi service or drive myself to the nearest hospital (not a doctors...

    The real problem is; The products suck - there is nothing that is really competitive with the foreign cars, they are all stuck in this bigger is better. The mid and upper management is too heavy for all companies, they need to trim upper management first. GM still has the Sloan method of...

    OVM, the thing is that is not a Dodge. It is a Mercedes and I heard that relationship may end sometime in the future. Remember a pig with pearls and lips stick on is still a pig. :p

    Lift Gate Corrosion

    My first question is where is the hydraulic unit located? If, like my lift gate, the motor sits between the frame, it is exposed to all kinds of cr*p from the road and actually contrary to popular opinion is the worst place it could be. Normally the cables that they use have plain crimped...

    Government Sponsored Healthcare

    Ark, One word – bureaucracy As defined “bureaucracy is governmental officialism or inflexible routine” See Ark, the system is inherently flawed by the fact that it is government run. No government agency at any level runs like a business, and the money that is spent is not well...
