    MATS Snapshots

    Phil, YES!! The Hooters girls were absolutely in the house! It was, possibly, the most crowded vendor exhibit. I enjoyed seeing Leo, Lawrence(the new bumper sticker is already on the box!), Terry and a few others again. Got to meet a few new people, missed out on a few others. I had to work...

    Storytelling 101

    We have breaking news from Entertainment Whenever... Dougtravels, apparently despondent from a lack of interest in his new project, is on the 8 Mile Rd. bridge over I75 throwing empty beer cans on the passing traffic below. Witnesses are having trouble getting close to him, but say that he...

    Meritor freedomline good?

    Mine isn't freedomline.

    Well, I guess everyone sees things different because I see very few, if any, cases of people posting just for numbers. You're right Mental. I think the trees are blocking this guys view of the forest.

    There's a significant piece of the puzzle. During your time in the biz you've seen some good years, but somehow still got to this point. Tough situation...

    Well, don't I feel like the silly goose. You really nailed me on that one. But, you'll probably still turn out to be a Drive By Poster. That's someone that joins to whine about something then goes away. I know where you're coming from about a van, I did over 8 years in one. I knew long before...

    An incredibly long paragraph of whining. Typical DBP. We probably won't see him again.

    hard memory test??

    I'm still a ways from 60 and I got 100%. I don't even want to think about what that means.

    Meritor freedomline good?

    I run mine in manual mode so I can progressively flip the paddle myself.

    Clearing up a DAC

    Definately sounds like one of those "more to the story" deals. My instinct would be to stay away.

    $1500 a Month??

    How about a pair of great danes in a cargo van? I once saw a h/w team in an E350 at the Detroiter with 2 danes. This van was totally decked out. Reciever hitches front and rear for generator and a storage box. Roof a/c, satellite dish. I wish I could have seen if they could actually haul...

    no idle states

    They expect the truck to equipped with an APU. When I bought my straight truck 2 years ago, it wasn't even a consideration that I wouldn't have one.

    No, I don't have a Sterling, and I haven't heard anything at all to suggest that a quality problem led to the brand being dropped. I wish I could at least tell you "good job" at deflecting, but this was a pretty lame response. It does do a good job of supporting the notion that one should be...

    Tires

    When I got very close to 200k out of the Wranglers that came on my E350, I decided I should stick with them. When I bought my first replacement set, my dealer was amazed at the miles I got out of them. I told him it was all highway miles, but he said it was still remarkable. I stayed on top of...

    Panther Refusal Stats

    I'm wondering why the carrier forums exist when threads like this don't get moved there. This has no value to anyone but Panther folk. Someone complained about that hilarious picture? Wow, to much time on their hands, I guess.

    Dhall, in Truck talk there's a thread entitled "Hino vs. Freightliner". I don't know how to create a link, but you talk about the "CB chatter" concerning the problems with Sterling transmissions, clearly using it as a source, without saying which transmission. I guess it was all the...

    (Have you ever blown coffee through your nose from laughing? Kinda burns...) Highway Star continues the conversation with his agent... "...And, this accident effects me how? You need to get Burton on the phone and get me a very graphic bedroom scene with Connelly. And I won't be on the set...

    Truck wash FYI

    I use the Beacon and I think they have a good system. Of course, it depends on the folks using it. Some of the good ones I've used are Laredo, Glendale, Ky., Walton, Ky., Carlisle, Pa. Some of the bad ones, North Baltimore, Oh., West Memphis, the one east of Little Rock next to the Pilot. Not...
