    16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfort/c

    RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo My standard E350 extended is at 7k curb weight. I'm surprised to hear that a cut away with a box that big has a 10k GVW. Does this van have dual rear wheels?

    16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfort/c

    RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo Most likely, 4-6 skids would pay more than 2. But, that's really not a question that can be answered in a definitive way here. It depends...

    About national Healthcare

    Someone growing up in a low income household has lots of options for a higher education. Grants, scholorships, low or no interest loans... Supporting a household should come after the education. I wish I had gone to college. I was accepted at 2 universities and didn't go. The ever increasing...

    About national Healthcare

    My guess would be that there's a very significant number of people that fall into the category that Hawk describes. A nice house full of nice things, an extra car in the garage that they hardly ever use but just HAD to have, but just can't seem to afford health insurance. My BCBS bill is my...

    My Pet Peeve!!!

    O.K. You've found the building. Next step, where is the shipping/receiveing entrance? Some places have it very well marked. So, why can't everyone do it that way?

    Supercross season kicks off this weekend

    Chad Reed spent the off season in his home country, Australia. He went home to "find himself" after a disappointing '06 season and amid rumors of a troubled marriage. It may have worked. Reed took the top spot on the podium, an encouraging start for the Factory Yamaha supported L&M Racing Team...

    Supercross season kicks off this weekend

    In today's USA Today sports section, supercross gets a story about the start of the season at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Coverage is usually limited to results or a brief 6 or 7 sentence race report. I don't think the Motocross of Nations victory was even reported. This will be the third year...

    Straight Truck B-unit?

    The operations manager at my company said they had a couple that used a Fun Mover as a B-unit for a while. Fun Movers are a motorhome with a "garage" in the back. 7 to 9 MPG would eat into the profit a bit too much for my likeing.

    What does "blind justice" have to do with a radar detector? Nothing. It is absolutely reasonable for a judge to take that into consideration and for the officer to make sure the judge knows about it. As far as it being legal in your truck, I think you got some bad info on that. The ban in...

    There's nothing here that should scare anyone. The radar detector's only function is to help someone break the law. Some will choose to put a spin on it, but that's the bottom line. I used one years ago and I gave up on it because of how often it didn't work. Why would any Trooper not want to...

    About national Healthcare

    Cheri, my experience has been the opposite of the article you talk about. I have a policy that doesn't cover office visits and I always get a discount. Usually, the doctor will drop a charge for something done during the visit. The last time that happened, I felt I REALLY deserved it. My 50+...

    Some Breakfast Ideas

    Back when the former spousal unit and I first got together, she insisted on having a "state of the art" microwave. I wanted a basic one as I felt that basic functions were all we would with it. I'm sure you all know what we ended up with. She decided the first thing she was going to do was cook...
