Whats a road atlas? I can't find that on my gps unit.

Turtle, can you summerize that? ;) I think the battery that everyone is talking about is made by Volvo. They (the advertisers on ch xm171) made it a point that these are duel purpose batteries for the trucker who has only one set of batteries on his truck.

Ark, I think I would not have an issue if I used a glider kit but if I would build a truck from same three wrecks, I would have some convincing to ensure that I didn't get the stuff from a stolen truck or circumvent federal safety laws.

Well I took one out for test drive and liked it, but again I like small trucks. It is not the only uber-compact car out on the market over there and they have been copied by the chinese and those are even cheaper. In the other thread in the newbies forum, there is a question about COE vs...

Moot, You can still get a 2008 Argosy from FL on special order. They have not answered the question if it comes in glider form - which would be nice, I can use my Cummins ISC and my 6+1 transmission in it. ;) Actually I was going to post this question later on, but since it has been posted I...

>I have also heard that glider kits are titled as new. >However, if you had a 2007 kit with say a 2004 engine titled >as a 2007, wouldn't the 2004 engine have to meet the new >polution and whatever standards? That's the question I am getting mixed answers over. I think that there is...

OK I think I had this thing long enough to say it is alright - not perfect but alright. I am bothered by a few things, like I can't just scroll around without changing the channel or the d*mn commercial names pop up when they air - I don't care about Go To mY pC and want to know what is on the...

RE: Are truckers at greater risk for staph infecti David, all that only works with the places that have paper towels and than there is no way to determine if the towels are clean. The places that have them horrible hand dryers are the worst.

>He's protecting the package! Ain't that the truth!

Welcome to EO. "1.What things do you like and dislike about doing expedite trucking?" I really don't know how to answer this, I mean I can point out that the waiting for load offers can be a pain for many, I just have too much to do to worry about it. "2. What do you like and dislike or...

Oh I agree Dave. I just don't know how to find the answers I have been seeking on that higher level and see where the pitfalls of big companies are and how they can be solved here with FedEx. I don't think the effectiveness of any liaison program can be archived unless there is disclosure or...

I am going to throw in something. Phil, I understand where you are coming from but out of both of your posts, the one thing that really got to me is this; "The fact that FedEx Custom Critical is a major EO sponsor also enters in. This is not a place from which to expect gotchya reporting or...

Calvin and Donna I understood what you said, I just abbreviated what I was thinking by saying “summaryâ€. The thing is the rep should not say it, I worked at the largest Pharma company and there are some things you just don’t say unless you want people to pick up the flag you threw down...

RE: Are truckers at greater risk for staph infecti Honestly I think truckers have less of a chance of getting it than most others. I say this because of the exposure of more cr*p at the truck stops than most kids. One thing that many microbiologists have warned parents is not to protect kids...

Thanks all for the good wishes, I feel better but I am really grumpy from the morphine. Well there are a couple things I want to pass on; the first is the emergency list. Even though you may be a team in a truck, it is a good idea to compile a list and hand it to two people you can trust. The...

Ah, lets not forget the people who have lost their jobs and can't find good employment to pay the bills at home. And "A solo B-unit driver that does well financially and boasts about spending most of his money on lot lizards." I found one better - A solo B-unit driver that does well...

Moot, Opps.... I am not getting anywhere near to build one I am throwing it out to expand the knowledge of others while drinking another gallon of water. At this point I wish I could say I am looking for an Argosy glider kit but I won't until this time next year. Well the emissions issue is...

Broom, I agree with you on the Diesel car thing but there is two problems, one is the people who say that the particles are harmful to kids with no proof and we have the EPA and the EU which have different emission standards that need to be equal. In Europe, they know what to do to save fuel...

Just wanted pass on a recent experienced I had, well I am still having and this is rather long. Yesterday I was sitting in my truck getting ready for a run – back to back runs Saturday and today, yea! – cleaning up the mess I had in the sleeper when I had to almost slam into a Mercedes C...

Thank you Moot for the explanation. I ran across a site which I can 't find again that sells glider kits and they have the new 2007 FL Cascadia for $69K, which I thought is not a bad price for someone who has the time and forethought to put together a truck. I know that with the kit that...
