pelicn who got the ticket?

I can - stupid people Broompilot I have been called racist too, who cares. It does not prevent me from posting or making money, I just believe that everyone is equal and many have no choice but to do what they can do. The Mexican issue for me has nothing to do with the people driving the...

"As for aggressively pushing to expand sympathetic majorities in Congress and elect a President in 2008 that is beholden to their cause..." That's is too d*mn funny, elect a president in 2008 that is beholden to their cause? Oh come on, If Hillary gets elected, well she will not do a thing...

You should not have a problem with the temp solution, it should hold up until you get to DD or where ever for the repairs. The problem is many people will run like this all the time, bad idea. The really dumb question of the day is when you said; "They called me out to witness the "torqing of...

Well so am I!

>Do you have any idea what the diameter of the drain plug is? Not sure if it is A 22mm-1.5 or 26mm-1.5

OMG OVM, I said I was joking around... talk about... never mind, good reading though. My concern is nothing to do with anything but safety. I mean being on the border for almost a month I didn't see the junk that I saw at some of the truck stops sitting next to me. I saw a lot of nicely kept...

layoutshooter, It don't matter what they say, it didn't come in there with the drain plug leaking or falling out, did it? They accepted the responsibility of the truck the second they had you pull into the bay. They have an obligaiton not to screw up the equipment they work on and they are...

The way it is supposed to work is the FMCSA has to revise the regulation as it is on the books, there is no automatic going back. The ruling made the regulation invalid but until there is a revision, the regulation is enforced and a notice from the regulatory agency that revision will take/has...

I heard of it but never used it so I can't say good or bad. I would say that speedco owes you an oil pan and installation of it by a qualified DD mechanic. I would not go any other way except the correct way to fix it. the bung idea is ok for small holes where the pressure on the plug is not...

"I can only imagine the paranoia back when the first Canadian trucks could take freight out of the U.S. Did the sky fall???" Yea actually it did, fell right on my foot! Seriously, there was less of an impact due to the things that bond us together, one is language and the other is our origin...

Putting an averages on a set of tires is not easy to determine, the depth is one of a few indicates, the other is the general condition of the tires themselves, are they crowned or cupped, are the missing pieces in the tread or scraped up on the side of the tire. Were they rotated at all during...

Now I am just trying to clarify this. You get offered a load This load was offered to another truck and it did not respond to the offer fast enough. You accept the load You prep and start rolling You get…. say 20 miles into the load and then you get a load canceled over the QC You call...

OVM, The transit I drove is at 12K gvw because they were under the impression I only owned the truck, I later learned I could have gotten the passenger version of the thing for the weekend. By the way, that is not what the van is going to be rated, they are going to (or plan on at this moment)...

"The Sprinter had growing pains like ANY new model" OVM, the sprinter is not a new model if you are talking about 2006 and prior - production started in 95. The growing pains is nothing more then poor dealers. As for the Ford, the new transit (UK version) is not the van I drove today. The one...

I thought Vans were exempt from the exemption that you can take with trucks? Well at least in Michigan.

Tuesday, July 24, 2007 – Truckers will once again face another new hours-of-service regulation, thanks to a ruling that eliminates the 34-hour restart and 11-hour driving limit. The U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a ruling today on a pair of challenges to...

x06col that makes too much sense

Asked what "American Pie" meant, McLean once replied, "It means I never have to work again." Later, he more seriously stated, "You will find many 'interpretations' of my lyrics but none of them by me...Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should...

Rich, I honestly seem to think that it really don't matter, as long as the log book is consistent with your operating the truck. I may be naive about this but not once, not even a hint from the inspectors who look over my log book seemed to care what form it was in, they cared that I had my...
