    CB Ground Plane With Fiberglass Body?

    My M2 is fiberglass. The guys at Exit 99 in Anna, Oh replaced one of the mirror mount bolts with a stud and mounted the antenna to that. They tried several antennas and got the best match from a Wilson 2000. It's not 1:1, but it's not too bad.

    Stop Smoking Now!!!

    Freightchaser, look at it this way, the debate kept your thread alive and the direction was a logical way for the discussion to go. I watched my Grandfather lose his fight with emphysema when I was 18 years old. It wasn't a pretty sight. The last couple of years of his life he couldn't walk...

    Question For Newbies, Wannabes, WishIcouldBeButCantBe

    It is an overall great group here. I think a collection of "short lists" would end up being very similar. Kudos to everyone! How's that for taking the easy way out...

    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    The only time I really think much about the cost of fuel is someone asks me what "it costs to fill that thing up?" My fuel surcharge is reasonable, or more importantly, my overall rate is reasonable. The bottom line is still whether or not we make good money. Right now, I'm doing better than...

    Good Movies?!

    I've seen 2 recently. "21" was not too bad. 3.5 QC beeps out of a possible 5. Kevin Spacey always does well portraying someone with questionable character. The other was "Shine a Light", the Rolling Stones concert documentary. I give it 5 beeps. Mick was 63 when the movie was shot, and, SHOOT, I...

    Beware in Dallas

    IMHO, they're all equally at risk to theft. They all have windows in the doors that can easily be broken.

    Would a viscous clutch just verbally abuse you, or would it try to physically assault you?

    Ten Wheeler

    It will be interesting to see how the new Detroit turns out. I was at a Detroit shop getting the Rigmaster fixed and I read the promo material while I was waiting. I know, grain of salt, obviously. But, after the Series 60, one would expect great things. Of course, Ford had a big hit with the...

    Fleet owner observation

    I agree that this subject has been beaten like a red-headed step child. But, I really have to ask one question. Well, one and a follow up. Phil, why is it important to have a precise formula? And, as someone who has claimed to have a background in financial dealings of some sort, why can't...

    In your opinion who are the 5 largest expedite carriers?

    I'm going to agree with Dave, because rich fleet owners have time to think about things like this. Well, when they're not counting their money.

    The State of Cargo Van Expediting

    I'm with the Rev on this one. If you guys are really making a good living, my belief is that you're in the minority. I hustled, stayed available, did all I could do. I wish I would have moved up sooner.

    tax time

    My CPA isn't a trucking specialist. We often hear that it's good to have a trucking specialist. I do a good job of keeping track of my expenses. When my taxes are done and I get the return back for review, it's all there. So, Teamcaffee, Leo, anyone? What am I missing out on? Is your guy doing...
