RE: Do you think expediting for cargo vans is slow There are more factors involved with the slowing of van freight than the type of van. As much as I want to concede the sprinter is a great tool for bulk, I can not with the weight issue, which has been clearly debatable here on EO and some...

T-Hawk, No there is no double standard, we are just stupid Americans. The toy thing is the parents fault, if they would just go back to basics and get the kids something like wooden blocks made in America with American wood, we would not have the lead paint issue or the arsenic in the...

There is no sales tax!

T-Hawk, There are only a few alternator builders out in the world and it may simply be a Delco unit (commonly used and the best choice). Almost every alternator can be rebuilt, with the two most common problems being the diode packs or regulator. As for $2500, that is what percentage of the...

Wow, disclaimers on Qualcom? The lawyers have gotten into the system... must call a priest and get the an exorcism done.

Phil, This may help others who are thinking about the side mount reefer unit; What is the biggest concern about the corrosion and what would be the failure of the unit be caused by? To clarify what I mean is the concern of the condenser, radiator or electronics the biggest worry about...

So I am trying to get this, the service was good at the shop but it wasn't the warehouse that gave good service? Warehouses don't carry every part for every truck and don't really spend a lot of time on customer service, maybe this was the problem? Well tell you the truth, if I am sitting...

Reefer? It came with the truck. Carrier 722 Needs work but it still performs well. I am going to move it down from the box to the side because of maintainability. I am not going to even worry about salt and calcium chloride problem because it will have to be repackaged or put on a new...

RE: Remember I did the greatest Rock Song of all t OH boy, you know that there is more to this than ‘modern’ music. I could list about 50 songs that are not in this thread that are still what is considered the best love songs of recorded music history but only one really has earned the...

Taking in consideration that Kenworth and other companies have been trying to do something like this for a while, it is good to see it happen. I think the RV market will allow others to get into this type of power system and it will move to the truck market. Technologically speaking, I am...

OK, I don't think that you can hear a siren approaching from the rear in my truck with the radio up half way - already been caught off guard with one that came up on me - me bad. But with that said, at an angle (perpendicular) it is a different case and with the noise in the cab it is hard to...

"Am told this will get better and easier to use in time." Does this mean that some of us will learn how to use it or they will change it to tailor it to my er.. someone's limited capacity?

Anyone use the website features yet? I have to say that I truly liked Comdata's phone system, put in the numbers and hit 2 for my balance, made life easier. Now I have to memorize a new set of numbers and menus.

Steve that's what I let it do. It was sending me critical checkouts all day long and my trailer is missing not the reefer part. I heard I wasn't the only one here in the lot with weird problems. It is still slow but it is nothing like out west, "I am not in Puget Sound" while I am sitting in...

RE: RE%3A US Customs Raises Rates Yea Diesel, the thing is I come back to the states, pay the $10.75 and have them take my beef jerky that I bought at the wal-mart in Atlanta - I guess this is why I paid the money.

Yea those..... Canadians come here.... and work.... and do stuff.... and spend money... but the BIGGEST problem is that they sometimes act like Americans I should write a book, how to be proper Canadian while in the US.

I read a quick quib about this 'artist' in St. Paul, Minnesota and I got to this little paragraph; "Covering the entire back wall of his brother's basement is a 7 x 14 foot mural of the Ku Klux Klan, made up from thousands of verses copied from the bible and individually cut out. It's a...

But Phil, Those big words I used are what a forum is about; sharing of ideas, suggestions complaints and otherwise.. er.. sometimes absolutely useless information. Ideals, effectiveness and a true forum is what you have right here, and we both – you and I – are demonstrating the...

Is anyone having problems with their Qualcomm today? Especially FedEx people?

Phil, I am not very good at explaining the rational of some forums to those who have never been in the driver’s seat but I will try to do so. The problem with your illustration, which is very good, does not lend itself to the ideals of what a true forum is about. What I mean in examining...
