    Chicago Deadlier Place Than Afghanistan

    The MSM isn't going to talk about that. We as taxpayers are spending billions for programs there and the problems are getting worse. It is clearly a case of showing that throwing money at these issues doesn't work. After billions spent, you still have the same number of poor, same amount of...

    How free are we?

    No difficulty. The folks who are in "dire need" aren't the ones with cars, houses, xboxes, big screen tv's, air conditioning .......and so forth. No problem at all telling the two apart.

    How free are we?

    No I don't think so. We are the most charitable nation on the globe. There is a huge difference between helping people and giving money to people who don't deserve it.

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, again! Am I ever gonna learn.

    I agree. There must be more to this. Just hasn't happened. And that is over many trucks and many years. I was going to say maybe a van thing, but you were in a van.

    Our Government & Welfare & Davy Crockett

    For the left who can't seem to figure out why we have bailouts, the coal industry is a perfect example. Follow the bouncing ball. Coal is heavy regulated to the point their profit margin is just about gone. Or land used for coal can't be mined because of regulations even though the EPA...

    Our Government & Welfare & Davy Crockett

    One can't have it both ways. Government should stay out of business but that doesn't happen. Government has interjected themselves into every business through regulation. That is why you have what you have. It isn't government welfare until the government is out of the private sector. You...

    How free are we?

    Excellent article. The "true poor" or people in dire need, is roughly 10 percent of the welfare rolls. That number has changed little over the last thirty years. The other ninety percent are your basic "takers".

    What's wrong with our ThermoKing APU!!

    Several things. For the truck itself, if it had a blown or replaced compressor, it is likely you have debris in the system. Especially if it keeps going out and they find no freon leak. It is likely clogging the orifice tube or clogging up the expansion valve. Only real fix is to replace...

    How free are we?

    I think there is a real problem in this country when we define "poor". The standard here is much different. There are all kinds of jobs currently available that they don't want to do. Every excuse imaginable from "I don't work for 10.00 per hour, I'm not working those hours, to I don't work...

    Life changes

    Hang in there. There is no part of your circumstances that are easy. We have a elderly family member as well that is kind of in the same situation. Thankfully we have many family members that can rotate the time with him. While it can certainly be a challenge at times, make the most out of your...

    APU advice??

    You wouldn't have to but it is recommended. One less belt running is better for the engine and economy.

    APU advice??

    If you have a rigmaster and it isn't keeping up in the heat because of a large or poorly insulated sleeper, you can disassemble the ac unit. Take lines and compressor out. Add a roof top unit with a breaker and connect it directly to the unit. At 5k of output, that can run a rooftop easily...

    How many miles from a team can I expect to get? FedEx CC

    Are you sure? I seen a quote from a nameless carrier executive that said "it was all about the miles". ;)

    The Biden Brawlers

    This was too funny not to post. Amongst all of the Obama scandals, old Joe has to have at least one. EXCLUSIVE: Biden's brawlers: Veep's security team squared off in Nantucket melee | Fox News

    More crap hitting the fan! Hoping this isn't a sign of the times!

    I remember reading something on this from PA and I think NJ. If I remember correctly, it only pertained to carriers and people operating with their own authority. If your truck was leased to someone it wasn't a issue. I would go with the advice of contacting OOIDA for all up to date information.

    MSNBC edits clip of Romney to paint him as "out of touch".

    Folks need to watch more Fox News. :cool:

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, again! Am I ever gonna learn.

    Kind of hard not to get something worthy out of TX. Then again, not sure what carrier you are with or whether it is bad for vans? No idea? We do well out of there with straights.
