    The Trump Card...

    Wait. What? Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert and/or any other other late night talk shows had an 8 year witch hunt against Clinton?

    The Trump Card...

    For giggles the other day, I watched CNN when Trump had the parents of children killed by illegal aliens on stage at the Eisenhower Building. One by one they stepped to the microphone and told their story, and one by one they also included jabs at the FAKE NEWS media for telling a false...

    The Trump Card...

    You've all seen this picture, right? That poor child, separated from her mother. It's outrageous! It's gut-wrenching! It's unacceptable! For SHAME!!! Except, of course, she wasn't separated from her mother at all. Her mother is the one wearing the jeans standing there right next to her. This...

    Do you trust your GPS?

    Yup. We don't even have accurate bridge height clearance data in the US which could be integrated into GPS routing. So, when in doubt, don't trust the GPS.

    Do you trust your GPS?

    The best dedicated GPS for truck routing is probably the Garmin Dēzl (diesel, get it?). TomTom also has one, but it's mapping overall is much better in Europe than it is in North America. Rand Mcnally has theirs, and a lot of people like it. A lot of people don't. Then there are apps for the...

    Your thoughts on this....

    Millennials behind the wheel of commercial motor vehicles. What could go wrong? It'll be cheaper just to pay current drivers a decent wage to thwart the driver shortage.

    The Trump Card...

    The Vietnam war had a pretty clear alternative, which we eventually went with. So, good job on that one. No, no it doesn't. There is no clear alternative, at least not one without significant consequences. If there was, you'd be able to articulate it. You realize that Trump ended the family...

    The Trump Card...

    When something or someone's actions are called "shameful," something worthy of causing shame or disgrace, it implies a consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior. It also implies a requirement that an alternate action must be correct or responsible. So what, exactly, is the shameful part? And...

    The Trump Card...

    Well, like so many others, you're complaining, and shaming an entire group of people, without offering a solution of any kind, workable or unworkable. Sending someone back to a near-certain death or unjust persecution in the case of a legitimate asylum claim isn't exactly tippy top on the...

    The Trump Card...

    Trumpettes have been awfully quiet on many Trump issues: unemployment numbers, the economy, the historic meeting with Kim Jung Un and the prospect of peace on the peninsula. And that was just last week. I find it equally interesting that the anti-Trumpers have remained silent on these issues...

    June in the land of ONE!

    It makes me feel a little better that it's happened to someone else. :D I once got two turndowns for one load, that I didn't turn down, and as it turns out we didn't actually even bid on. Just one of those things. I was driving in rural New Mexico and didn't have a cell signal for a little...

    Whats the skinny on Fusion?

    This sooooo doesn't matter, but I'm gonna let people know anyway, because somebody might have wondered, or might find it interesting.... When someone joins up and doesn't select a custom avatar, and they don't fill in MALE or FEMALE, the default green EO avatar is automatically used. If they...

    Lowering gvw

    Stating what "most" people do, as if it's perfectly fine and normal, is giving advice. Most people do not, in fact, just put UNDER 10,000 GVW decals on and ride, so your stated fact isn't even a fact.

    Lowering gvw

    OK, I'm going to go by what you typed, focusing in on GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight). So, the issue is the vehicle weighs more than 10000 pounds, and you need it to weigh less. You need to shed some weight. If you haven't seen the movie The Martian, I highly recommend it, as the last third of the...

    I’ve Seen it All

    One little trick to make an omelette pop is to add a teaspoon or two of dry pancake mix to the eggs when you beat them up. It adds a touch of body and just a hint of vanilla that causes the other flavors to jump out at you. Another one is to add to the eggs a finely chopped anchovy or a little...

    AGM Batteries

    No, it won't kill the alternator. The alternator will work a little less hard if it's 120 or 150, but 90 is fine. When it comes time to replace the alternator, that's when you'd move up to a bigger one. Incidentally, two 6-volt 300 Ah batteries is 600 Ah... at 6-volts. At 12-volts it's 300...
