    Winter Fronts

    You don't see them nearly as much as you used to. My MBE 900 maintains normal operating temperature even in very cold weather, so I don't need one.

    Van Drivers, Is Logging Really That Bad?

    That freedom is what kept me in a van for longer than I really should have stayed. I liked being able to work as much as I wanted when things were busy in the hopes of balancing the slow times. I finally moved up last March and I wish I would have a LONG time ago. Oh, to more clearly answer...

    Opinion on Company getting Plates 4 Tractor??!!!!

    The more you have control over, the more in control you are. O.K., sounds kind of dumb saying it that way, but the point is you're giving the company control over something that could have you out of service if not handled competently. I'm thinking back to the days when many were plated in...

    CB Radios

    I have the General Washington, same as the Lee but a different flag on the front. I had it tuned by the guy at the Detroiter and he knows his stuff. With the power switch on low it swings 50 watts with a dead key of 2 watts. It seems like people can usually hear me.

    cold weather and deisel

    Mr. X, just wondrin what the procedure is for a flush. Just run the tanks a bit low and drain some crapola off the bottom? I use additive year round to stay on top of moisture and I've never had a problem, but that sounds like something I'd consider adding to the up keep regimen.

    MPG Challenge

    That's pretty funny for a guy that's never heard of George Carlin, and you didn't even have to use any of the 7 dirty words.

    Load Or No Load

    So many questions... Did Moot shave his head, or maybe he was already bald? Is he a phobic that won't shake hands and does the fist bump? Does he use chinchillas instead of smokin' hot models?

    Canada FAST card

    Well, the first thing I learned is that you can't do anything in Detroit, so over the bridge I went. I was given an app, told it would be processed like before, everything done the same as before. Wait for the letter, go back in, ect. I just don't need it bad enough to have to plan another...

    straight trucks & truck stops

    When you go to a crowded truck stop, it can be easy to "improvise" a spot that a t/t can't fit in. I'll also use the RV lot. I was at the Indy Hook Saturday night and it was nearly full, just a few spots left with several trucks looking, so I went to the RV lot to leave a space for a t/t.

    Canada FAST card

    I'm wondering the same thing. That's where I'm drawing the line. I'm not hauling hazmat and I'm not going through all that "just in case".

    Canada FAST card

    That makes more sense than what I was told on the phone. I expected them to want to do another background check to make sure you've kept your nose clean before renewal. I'm going to Romulus tomorrow, so I guess I'll take care of it in Detroit on Friday. Thanks for the feedback.

    35th Anniversary

    Greg, as someone who's been to Seaworld, I'm completely offended by your post. Don't you know that when they go "eh, eh, eh, eh", they're talking to us? And, did you ever see Arnold Ziffel ride his tail in the water? I think not!

    Canada FAST card

    I just got off the phone with the FAST folks. And, before the usual suspect chimes in to tell me what an idiot I am for posting here before calling, yes, I'm an idiot, thank you. Anyway... The rumor I heard is, indeed, horse hockey. The FAST card isn't going away anytime soon. You will get no...

    Canada FAST card

    Thanks for the replies. I read an article in McPaper last week with the info you posted DD. I'm on the fence about renewing as I don't do much Canada anymore and I have a passport. I just expected to get something about renewal in the mail.

    For the Record

    I'd like to schmega-ditto Moot's ditto. I would be very interested in reading your book, Tall. Put me on the list!

    Should I be worried?

    Given the amount of debt the Federal Government is carrying, they don't really have the money to send out those checks anyway. There are those that say we'll never have anything like the great depression again because they've become better at handling the things that lead up to economic...

    Canada FAST card

    A friend told me there is no more FAST card. Is this true? Mine expired this month and I received nothing from them for a renewal.

    Re: Canadian Expediters

    The same thing happened to me. All the other forums are fine.
