    Question about promaster 2500 or 3500 with 12' length cargo area

    The standard pallet size in the US is the GMA Pallet of 48x40 (GMA stands for the Grocery Manufacturers Association). It is by far the most produced size of pallet in the US, and is also the North American ISO Pallet. In second place is the 42x42 pallet, used primarily in telecommunications...

    Confirmation chaos

    That's funny and ironic, considering SNL just did an 18-minute cold open on angry, unhinged Brett Kavanaugh, and barely mentioned Little Miss Perpetual Victim Barbie as if she was a background extra in this movie. They didn't touch her at all One thing to keep in mind is, it's well documented...

    Well, we know the hippocampus isn't even fully formed until about age 25, so we think very differently in our teens and early twenties than we do even in out late twenties, much less in our fifties.

    Question about cargo van fleet owners.

    Do Car Deer Whistles Work? Deer horn - Wikipedia Best evidence is they don't work. Deer get acclimated to road noise, including deer whistles, and quickly decide its not a threat. But go talk to any random body shop guy. They'll tell you if it works or not. ;) Best way to avoid deer strikes...

    Question about cargo van fleet owners.

    Or a golden retriever. Or even a mean tumbleweed. Crash parts up front are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. When those parts are bypassed, one hundred percent of the impact gets passed directly to the body frame, which isn't at all designed to withstand that kind of stress. When a...

    Yale is a small school, relatively speaking, but it ain't that small, certainly not so small that everyone knows everyone else;s business. THey run an enrollment of between 5,000 and 5,500 each year, give or take. A new woman has come forward with more allegations. Apparently Brett Kavanaugh...

    The Trump Card...

    LOL No. The cartoonist, Gary Varvel, does almost exclusively conservative cartoons. Ronnie Ramos, the executive editor of the newspaper, has to pretty regularly apologize for Varvel's cartoons. He had to apologize for this one, too. :D This one cracks me up.

    National Parks

    Yep. Federal parks roads are administered differently than the public roads the FMCSA deals with. In most cases the roads are Army Corps of Engineers roads. Even the very definition of a Commercial Vehicle is different within federal lands versus the public roads. If you're passing through a...

    Question about cargo van fleet owners.

    Do you know that putting one on a Sprinter or other unibody van, will likely total the van in the case of a deer hit? Instead of the collision parts up front absorbing the impact, a guard transfers everything directly to the body's frame.

    The Trump Card...

    Despite being spot-on, the Indystar apologized for this cartoon, because it offended, deeply, oh, so many people. Can't make fun of anyone for anything if they're a victim of sexual assault.

    The Trump Card...

    I'll be surprised if Trump fires Rosenstein. They apparently had a lengthy phone conversation today, and they'll talk it out on Thursday. Even if he does fire him, much to the chagrin of NYT and WaPo the White House nor the Justice Department will be in "turmoil" (the latest IT word they are...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump's in NY at the UN, so now Trump and Rosenstein will meet in Thursday to discuss things. Thursday is a good day, because that's probably gonna be a slow news day. :D Rod Rosenstein thinks he's Obi Wan Kenobi. "You can't win, TrumpVader. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful...

    In Persuit Of The PERFECT Van Bed Set Up

    To me, the perfect bed is one that is always available, loaded or unloaded. I learned that hard lesson many moons ago when the van's cargo space was stuffed and I had a run from Chicago, IL to Oakland, CA, with no place to sleep for 3 days. The lesson was further reinforced when I had a load...

    The Deep State Files

    Also not to be completely overlooked is the fact that this was reported by the NYT, which on the surface might look like it's a story favorable of Trump, but the NYT would like nothing more than for Trump to fire somebody, anybody, but especially Sessions or Rosenstein, before the midterm elections.
