    The Trump Card...

    Be on the lookout for the ridiculous headline of "Trump Trump's Clinton" in future days. Trump is the middle finger to how things have been, and Clinton is the status quo. "Vote for me, I'm more of the same!" Good luck with that, Hillary. Clinton will beat the "We juuust caaaan't take the risk"...

    Anyone know the name of these companies running penske cube vans?

    You've just made an unimpeachable and irrefutable case for the raising of line haul rates.

    Van rates exposed.

    He's got dozens of other videos on there, going back, I dunno, a year or two. Watch some of them. Many :D of them are pretty good.

    Not that it matters, but by a wide margin the most dominant language in the world is Mandarin. Second is Spanish. English is third.

    And Cruz goes down in flames

    The people who he thought were loyal turned on him. When the unpledged delegates he thought he wooed were all of a sudden like, "Weeeeellllll, I dunno..." And without winning Indiana, he'd have seriously become an island.

    Fuel for Thought Nice Cans!

    At the small grocery store I often go to when I'm at home, and the Dollar General Store, yes I do. If one is handy in my way into a Walmart or a Kroger, I'll take one in with me.

    Going independent

    That's a mistake. The learning curve in this business takes a brutal turn through your wallet.

    Anyone know the name of these companies running penske cube vans?

    Because it's not a ridiculous claim. It's a well-known claim, and one that's easily verifiable. Make a smartassed comment, get a smartassed reply. You maybe expected something different?

    Anyone know the name of these companies running penske cube vans?

    I cannot. I'm not sure why you would ask me to do that, though, other than as a deflection. I never said those words should not be used undefined. I simply asked you to define them, which you were unable to do (or refused to, whatever makes you feel better), and when you could not define them I...

    Yeah, so? What's your point, Mr Usher of the Peanut Gallery? I didn't use the word to make a ridiculous claim.

    Anyone know the name of these companies running penske cube vans?

    As others have said, on those particular loads they aren't competing with you, but they are on all other loads. When they have a GVWR of greater than 10,000 pounds and do not log and scale and are skirting insurance regulations, they are competing with you unfairly for cargo van loads of less...

    Anyone know the name of these companies running penske cube vans?

    That's fine. But when you use words like "many" and "plenty" without even being able to come up with a number for them, they're meaningless, and when you use those words to make claims, the claims are equally meaningless.

    Define "plenty." Is "vans" different from "white Sprinters"?

    Anyone know the name of these companies running penske cube vans?

    As FlyingVan alluded to, many (not all, certainly, but a large percentage) of those dually yellow Penske vans have a GVWR of between 10,001 and 14,000 pounds, but the owners have slapped a very conspicuous GVWR 10,000 or GVWR 9999 on the doors to make people think they're under 10,001 pounds...

    Kidney stones

    I hear they're quite painful. What did they do for (to) you for it?

    Fuel for Thought Nice Cans!

    I agree 100%. It's not like they aren't going to walk right past a trash can on the way in to get something to eat or take a shower. :fuelpump::toilet::pizza::shower:

    I concur wholeheartedly. They're insanely comprehensive.

    Fuel for Thought Nice Cans!

    Honestly, I most often try to find a dumpster at a truck stop. At the truck stops without dumpsters but with only the compactor, I usually don't mess with the compactor and will go for a trash can at a fuel island. But it seems a little silly to me to put my trash in a trash can just so someone...

    General sprinter rearend question

    Sort of, kind of. The main cause is the saddle bearing that supports the tail shaft. The transmission shaft end is a milled aluminum carrier bearing. The bearing block has a hole drilled into it to a specified depth. At the end of this is a bushing disc placed at the end of the hole to support...
