I wonder if any of these jokers have ever balanced a checkbook. Now, of course I'm not the government so I can't just print money-- but I have a very definite debt limit. When I've borrowed up to that limit, the bank won't let me borrow more until I pay down some of that debt. I look at what...

The reach of the forklift. You have to be able to get the skid out, and so many places just don't have long-reach forks. I carry a chain with hooks on each end and that helps, but the problem remains that Ford has that overhang.

Personal thought: The Ford extended vans have quite an overhang. Chevy extended vans stretch the wheelbase so the rear wheels are at the rear of the van, Fords are built on the same standard base whether it's a regular van or an extended. That overhang can hurt you when you're carrying one heavy...

Standing by in Chicago is my usual condition. Depending on how busy things are, it can be hours or days before you move again. I've never seen it go a full week without getting something. I live here, so for me to stand by near Chicago is-- well, I'm home anyway. How many vehicles of your size...

I kind of hate to resurrect trouble-- this type of thread needs to die quickly-- but, for what it's worth I finally decided to get a Pilot/Flying J card. Because I drive a gasoline powered van, I get the "Preferred Customer" card which turns out to be just about as basic as it gets. Pretty much...

Back in the days I got started in working for a living, McDonald's was a starting job. It wasn't necessarily where you went to make a career. Not unless you had a view of climbing the ladder and becoming management, anyway. If this guy is 20 years at McDonald's and still at minimum wage, there's...

Man--- I've been going to the wrong laundromat. I never see babes like that around the places I've been.

At least, that's what they want you to think.:rolleyes: Once "they" get mention, the conspiracy starts-- because of course it's important that they control your thoughts. OK. It's hard enough trying to guarantee a straight couple will stay married. I can't imagine wanting to put my economic...

Bold underlined: Behold the miracle! Gazillions of kids with only one parent!! I know that it happened in scripture, we have the story of the Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus, but if Cheri is right then virgin birth must be a regular thing and not miraculous at all. Now, for those of us on...

A Ford E-150 is a lightweight in this business. By the time you set it up for being able to live in it, there's no weight capacity left for freight. Recommend that you check out the local courier companies in your area. That way you don't have to try to set up any kind of living in the...

Kamikaze Sprintercide two points off the port bow! Helm, bring 'er up two points, engage flame shields.

Most of it looked to be Russian, most of it was preventable. Good Lord, doesn't ANYBODY pay attention?

Engaging cloaking device, on impulse power.

I wonder if that's their official position. Strange way of doing business, but I suppose that's up to them. "Oh, that customer is too small, let him take his money somewhere else." OK, it's made so.

At home, waiting. Been #1 since Friday evening, which should put me in a reasonable position for getting something tomorrow. Noting that since this is a holiday weekend, sitting this entire time comes as no surprise.

Is it safe to say, based on Paullud's response, that van business isn't welcome at TA/Petro? So, how about it? We've got a couple of TA/Petro cheerleaders here, can they dig up an official response to that? There are gas stations all over the place that sell gasoline, most sell donuts and...

I can't be certain, of course, but--- I'd swear we've seen the OP before. The "MO" sure looks familiar, anyway. Different name, but the same MO.
