    Interesting post

    I ran across this site http://www.op-for.com/ and went through the posts. I found this; A "Mercenary" Perspective By Lightning "I've been a bit remiss in my posting over the past few weeks. I hope you'll excuse my absence. I have dropped in from time to time to read some of the topics and...

    reducing wear on your equipment

    Now please remind me, which APU units use the heater strip in the sleeper module? I have been told that the heater strip don't heat as well as the heating system that uses the coolant of the APU engine. By the way Leo, I got two heaters now, one for the wife and one for the truck. and I got a...

    I don't think that they need to call every time for every offer but I can tell you they need to call if the truck is on the move or under load. I can not tell you the amount of times I have had to pull over to look at the QC and respond to a predispatch offfer. I know that they know (of can...

    reducing wear on your equipment

    Leo, I first read this and thought of my great uncle. He would hold the turn signal to the detent position, not engaging the detent at all so not to wear out the turn signal control. But after my laugh, I read it again. So I got to thank you, you gave me a solution to my wifes complaints...

    Ace, I understand what your getting at but let's face it the days of a closed market society are over with and we don't have much choice in the matter. We didn't learn any lessons from the UK when they went through all of this. You focused on cars but look at computers, what do we really...

    Starter continues to crank W/Key OFF

    redytrk let me ask you this; was the truck running when the starter would not shut off? Or to phrase it better, was the truck cranking when this happened? If the people tell you that this is a common thing, it really isn't. I find watching some of the maintainance that goes on with these...

    Yea I heard that before it hit the press. I think this illistrates my point, the Taurus was still selling good but they wanted to close Atlanta - going in circles? The other thing I heard is that they will stop building the 500/taurus here and move it to the place where the platform was...

    Try Again???

    OK, I wrote a few post about what I went through buying a used truck. Depending on what it is and where it is makes a difference with the quality of the dealership. I would take your time, I would have the truck Vischecked, engine dyno'ed, the oil and coolant analysed and the ECM dumped...

    Crazynuff, Yes D-C does not care, they are a foriegn company. Bryan, Mexico is a corrupt country, like North Korea and USSR - it keeps it citizens suppressed and prevents them from prospering. Also just an FYI, the 2005 GDP for mexico was $768,437M but the US was $12,455,825M accroding to...

    Starter continues to crank W/Key OFF

    This actually sounds like the solenoid was stuck or contacts welded together by the surge of current the starter needed when the engine is cold. I have had this happen a few times. If you could have the dealer take apart or you take the solenoid apart, you may find that the contacts are fried...

    Back Office Support ???????

    You know what I did was not just talk to CBP but started to study for a brokerage license. There is a lot more to this than emanifest, ACE, and Fast paperwork. The biggest problem I found out is the CBP don’t always get the right information about changes made by the congress or the DHS...

    Ok I find this something that Panther and FedEx should just tell QC lets make it free. I mean I know the technology used is cheap - meaning that sending messages from the system is a zero cost to QC.

    Ace I see your point but..... Ace Said; “Daimeler Chrysler is a German company like you stated that is why I do not mention them as American. I believe the organization looks at them differently because they have retirees from the old Chrysler days.†I understand that but living in this...

    Ace Said; "Japan,Germany,France,China,S.Korea do not want us to be the economic or military superpower we are they would much rather see us as an equal. We need AMERICAN pride to stop them from making their wishes come true." I don't really think that this is really true, I think that...
