RE: Someting New On "Is this a reasonable price fo Wow lug, that was a lot of words. And you still didn't tell us which truck you wanted to know about. But, with all the research you did and dealers you can contact through this website, why did you ask us in the first place? Inquiring minds...

Didn't they set a record? Back in '72(a little Seger anyone?) it was only 14 games.

Good point on the puddles. A good driver will take a good look at their truck every time they walk up to it. Every time you fuel take a quick walk around. The PTI isn't the only inspection your truck should have in the course of a day. Here's a little story to illustrate how ignorant some...

Whooaaa... Is this a flashback? The '70s were a LONG time ago.

Hawk, check with a dealer to see if your plug has a gasket. The metal gasket will flatten over time and leak a very small amount. I'm getting tired of Speedco always having an issue with finding the right tool to remove my drain plug. This last time he used one a bit too small and it got stuck...

RE: Is this a reasonable price for this new truck? They did read the question and asked for info needed to give you an answer. Is there some reason you don't want to provide that info?

Is a gadzillion more or less than a brazillion?

You really need to be more careful Hawk. Sounds like you need full body armor.

My warm-up procedure is the same as Leo's. I don't push the engine hard until I see the oil pressure dropping. As to idling, Dhall gave a good explanation of what happens inside the motor. The question is, how damaging is it really? My Powerstroke with 958k has a lot of idling hours. I couldn't...

RE: I Have Worked For Both Would this be a good time for the Twilight Zone theme to begin?

We've all seen people driving cars and doing something stupid because they're talking on a cell phone. How about talking on a cell phone while loading a truck? She was on a stand-up with a tall mast and was on the phone trying to see if there was any more freight to go on my truck. I could see...

Whatever Moot would say, I'm sure it would be very mundane. A Merry and a Happy to all!!

If there's no one home when you're on the road, you can take the receiver with you and avoid the extra 5 bucks a month.

The dogs barking Jingle Bells is very moving.

Good job Ark. I agree with Cheri, she probably will need a walker by then.

The companies insurance will cover the freight and the truck will run under their operating authority, the same as if you were running a load they got for you.

No such thing as an O/O anymore? Not true! You can get your own authority and have no one to answer to but yourself. As an IC, you do have a company to answer to, but you still have the freedom to work when you want and take off when you want.

I don't know the rules either, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Gawd, I'm a hoot. Seriously though, I did once read an excerpt for some IRS publication that trucks with "permanent sleeping quarters" couldn't claim hotels.

Uh-huh, I get a legal department and now everyone has to have one. I just have to warn you Cheri, I don't know what those guys are saying half the time. You know, "blah, blah, blah, slander. Blah, blah, blah, litigation. Blah, blah, blah, monetary compensation..."
